Orion of Soldiers Caters.

The origin of the white CATERS worn
nv the Highland regiments is an inter
esting story. They are worn in mem
orv of some of the trials that the regi-
ments underwent in the peninsular
war. During the retreat of the forces
under Sir John Moore at Coruna the
soldiers suffered great hardships, and
their boots became sadly worn. owing
TO the rocky nature of the ground on
the Portuguese coast. The Highland
crs thereupon took the shirts from
their hacks tore them into strips and
hound them round their feet for pro-
lection. The white spats or CATERS
were introduced as part of the regular
uniform in memory OF those trying
times.

Why Men Eat More Than Women.

That men eat 5 per cent or s per
cent more than women-not because
they are gluttons, but because they
actually require that much more
observation-disclosures as the result
of an investigation made in the nu-
triton laboratory of the Carnegie
institute at Washington. d. C. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have a smaller proper
ton of active tissue than men of the
same weight and more inactive ma
terial, such as fat. The investigation
disclosed that the average woman
generates only 1855 heat units In the
"a hours, as against 1888 produced
by the man, or about 2 per cent more
for the latter per pound of body
weight. When groups were compared,
after careful selection of individuals
j of nearly the same height and weight.
!, the men we're found to produce about
! ~ per cent more heat than the wom-
en-. The investigators vigorously ex-
I cluded athletes from their cOmpari-
sons, dealing only with nonathletic
men and women of the same height
and same weight.

THE STATE SITS UP

The State of Florida just naturally
sat w. and took notice of this natal
hay proposition when the word went
out that the Citizens Bank of Lees
burg would loan money on market
able hay in order that the grower
might hold it for the best market.
Especially will it sit up and read
whel this weeks paper goes out and
is commented upon because of the
largest bank in Florida backing up
the Leesburg institution and agree
ing to rediscount the paper. Presi-
dent Lane of the Atlantic National
Bank. Jacksonville, has given an in
terview to the Metropolis of that
city. making the same statement
that he made in Leesburg. Other
banks probably will do the same.
Letters continue to come into the
Office CT the Commercial requesting
from one to one thousand copies of
the paper containing the original
advertisement. The edition was ex-
hausted long ago and this weeks Is
sue will have to be used instead.

Romeo Johnson OF indianapolis once
gave this explar alton of how he came
by his first name: Ny father was

OF Edwin Booth. Shortly before

stayed over a day to see Booth In

the man, married to a woman of whose
whereabouts he was ignorant. He
would not even know it when she died.
But q more startling event was to fol-
low. For, about three years after the
marriagl an Italian man came to see
him. He had married the girl. he ex-
planned in broken English. Yes, he
knew all about her marriage to the
young man, but he regarded it as a

Showed her the error of her ways,
and brought her, in tears, up to the
door of the Sewing Circle, to which
men aren't admitted. That was the
real sensation Of the day. News got

mad
Would you believe it? Every quar-

and there like one of Elijah's ravens,
and that. sir, was the dullest winter
ever known in Mosstown.
I'VE hadn't appreciated before how
much our honest hate of our neigh
bors had kept things stirred up and
lively. Jane and Joe got married
and went on their honeymoon to
Barnboro, ten miles away. Henson
