where there is total lacking of 10y

possible that if the right amount OF

few publications there could be
gained a name and circulation

1t was the desire of the physicians

of years upon a desert island to

land, her guardian and her father

school room into the most difficult
position in American social life, and,
in spite of her youth, filled it so ably
that she won universal admiration
and esteem.
Although few of the wives of the
Presidents have been heiresses,
quite a number of their daughters
in-law, daughters and neices have
had that advantage. Miss Alice
Roosevelt inherited several large
lcgacies from the family of her
mother, who was Miss dee, of Bos-
ton. She was given an allowance
for dress by her grandmother, Mrs.
Lee, which was far greater than
that at the disposal of the average
married woman in society. Miss
Harriet Lane, theneice of the bache-
Tor, James Buchanan for those times,
was very great when she acted as
mistress Of the White House. Miss
Lane spent large part of her pri-
vate fortune in keeping up the
of the White blouse. In
1860 Miss Lane was hostess to the
Prince OF Wales, who later became
King Edward VII. Later in the same
year she was hostess of the first
japanese embassy to the United
States. Her position was more one
rous than any other ''first LADY,

Kansas City, Nov. 16-The heavy
shrinkage in total shipments of cit
rus fruits out of Florida so far this
season, as compared with previous
years, will not result in a general
rush of supplies later ON and a glut
in the markets. At least this is the
opinion of several leading citrus
fruit shippers in that state. The
latest available statistics on the
present movement show that 537
cars so far have been sent to mar
ket. Up to the same date last year
1887 cars had rolled, showing the
shrinkage this season. as compared
with 1914, to be 1872 cars.
Owing to the fact that this show
ing was unusual it had been thought
by some jobbers in citrus fruits that
there there was danger of glut
with a sharp decline in prices when
the movement finally got under
Roadway.
The Florida shippers and dis
tributors discourage this SUPPOSE
ton, however. The Packer, early
in the week, wired number of the
leading firms and individual dealers
for an expression of opinion ON the
possible danger of holding back so
much fruit as well as the causes for
the hardness of the deal, and has
received the following reply:
Tampa, Fla.-To the Packer: Re-
plying to your telegram inquiring
into cause of decresae in number of
cars Of citrus fruits from Florida
this season as compared with last
will say that there are three causes
to be assigned, the principal one be-
ing the standard of maturity set by
the federal government. which has
been a blessing to the industry; the
next reason is the fruit generally is
later than last season by two weeks,
and the last reason is the crops is
considerably shorter than last year.
DO you not believe it will have any
appreciate effect on the future mar
ket or shipments, and look for mod
crate movements, well distributed,
throughout the season.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE MAR.
ION COUNTY ORANGE THEFT

1t is rather a sin eular fame of
mind into which some very good
people drive themselves by their
convictions that whatever they do
il, right, but what others do is per-
secution and wrong
This reflection is brought out by
an amusing incident to which the
Orlando papers are giving publicity.
IL seems that very good lady was
arrested while attending a conven-
ton of the w. C. T. u in that city.
She was taken, with others, to some
place in Marion county and tried
for purloiring oranges from a grove
1t appeared from what the lady said
that few days previous to the ar
rest. the lady's daughter, three boys
and a lady acquaintance passed by
an orange grove. The boys got out of
the car and picked about twenty or
anges and then came back to the
car The boys were arrested on
regular complaint and with them
young lady and this particular
lady. Fines were imposed on the
boys, at least, by competent
authority.
There is a great probability that
the lady making the complaint was
not at all implicated in the petty
crime and was not present when it
was committed, but as her daughter
seems to have been present it is
probable that the complainant be-
fore the justice made mistake in
swearing out warrant against her
But the law of Florida says that
whoever takes or carries away any
oranges from a grove, without the
consent Of the owner or manag err,
shall be punished by fine not eX-
ceeding fifty dollars or imprison-
ment not exceeding three months.
AS the yOuuS CulpTltS were let OIL
with the payment of fine of one
dollar and the costs, they escaped
with exceedingly light punishment
But the funny part Of it is that
.he lady in question refuses to rec
ognize her part in the trouble as be-
ing the result of criminal actions on
the part of someone, and regards
herself as a martyr, not to the law,
bless you. not to mistake on the
part of the manageE of the grove,
hut to the liquor interests, which she
says caused the arrest to annoy her
and discredit the temperance move
ment in Marion county, and she was
applauded in the convention. on her
return as one who had suffered in
the cause.
III is to be regretted that the lady
was put to the annoyance of an ar
rest, it is still more to be regretted
that the young boys were really
guilty of an offense against the
laws, but to charge the orance steal

WOODROW WILL MARRY A
FORTUNE WITH MRS. GAIT

Washington, d. c., Nov. 16-Mrs.
Norma Gait will be one of the
wealthiest of White house brides.
Very few of the mistresses of the
White House, from the foundation
of the republic until the present.
have been heiresses and while Mrs.
Galt's fortune, estimated at about
100000, is not large as fortunes
are accounted in the East, it is
larger nest-egg than most of the
first ladies" have possessed at the
me of their marriages to Presi-
dents.
Martha Washington. the wife of
the first President. was an excep-
ton. She was very rich. George
Washington, in marrying great
heress, set a precedent which few
of his successors have followed. The
pretty, bright-eyed Virginia widow,
Mrs. Curtis, whose lands, slaves.
dollasr and mansions were inherited
from both her husband and her
father, was the greatest catch of
her day, and young Washington was
greatly envied when he persuad-
ed her to say yes" This marriage
enabled him to hold his own among
the plutocrats of the time and to be
free from any financial worries.
The President, who, next to
George Washington. married most
advantageously from the financial
point of view was William McKin-
ley, When he married the favorite
daughter of the rich banker, James
A. Saxon, he had barely entered up
on the practice of law and was pos
sessed of no capital except intelli-
gence, energy and character. Yet
such was the respect he had attain
ed in the community that Mrs. SAX
tons neighbors all thoueht she was
doing well, and no one referred to
young Mckinley as fortune hunter
To him gift more valuable than
money was her fathers statement:
You are the only man | have
ever known to whom 4 would give
my daughter.
Another heiress was Julia Gardi-
ner. the pretty New York girl who
became the second wife of President
James Tyior. who was more than
thirty years her senior.
Several Of the Presidents in the
days of their youth and poverty we'd
dcd girls no better off than they
were, who not only shared with
COURAGE their husbands small begin
nings, but assister them to rise.
Among the self-made Presidents who
aiso were to a considerable extent
wife-made Gcn were John Adams,
andrew Jackson. Zachary Taylor,
Willard Fillmore and Andrew John
son. However. most of the Presi-
dents had attained to a position of
modest comfort before marrying
women who were real helpmates

ing circumstances improve as the
