PIE.

I will dash Off n powerful word
composition entitled "Pie."
Pie is anywhere from mince to pot
Pies are made Of lots Of ingredients,
and they are also in greedy gents ia
large extent.
Type are also sometimes pied. ~
Pied type are a source OF great l.
should-worry to a lazy printer, but
sometimes the reading public is saved
from worry by pied type. A great To-
cal scandal once was narrowly avertet
by type being pied in this office.
Then there is chicken pie-we know
lots of chickens who are as nice as
pie-also lots of peaches, and some
few plum good ones. Some pies are
like some people-pretty crusty, ant
some won't pan out very well. Som,
pies are lemon, which is also very hu
man.

once and for all that he ever was O

stated In public print on several oc

about It, nor would he be ashamed Of

emphatic in his deniel.

st. Petersburg, March IA ten
-ative program for the convention Of
the Florida State Good Roads Associa-
tton here March 24-25 has been ar.
ranged by the local entertainment
committee and forwarded to the head
offices of the organization in Jackson
vile for approval and insertion Of the
leading speakers. As planned tenta-
lively, the convention will open the
afternoon Of the first day. This prob
ably will be given over largely to or
ganization and preparation for the
succeeding sessions. An illustrated lee
ture and big banquet in the evening
will be the chief events of the day.
For the second day there will be full
morning session, for which the pro
gram has to be filled out yet, In the
afternoon, most of the time will be
given over to amusement and enter
tainment OF the convention. Chief Of
these advertisements will be a big au.
tomobile ride over the city. All ar
rangements are being made to make
this, convention the finest In the his.
tory Of the state association.
The enrolment of the board Of trade
was divided into two teams yesterday

ious to win the honors Of the impend
ing contest, which will be closed the

Negroes of st. Petersburg will raise
among themselves about half of thu

| two months more. Notice has been re.
ceived by the negro principal of the
school from the county superintendent
| that only n six months term was al
lowed, and he must arrange to close
within two weeks. The superintendent
Immediately appealed to the negroe,
to continue the school to eight months
As a result nearly fourth of the nee
essary money has been raised to con
tinue the school. The white people Of
the city probably will raise the hal
ance that the negroes cannot make VI
themselves. For this purpose of ION
pany of twenty Of the leading negroe,

SHALL THE NAME OF
ARKANSAS BE CHANGED.

New York, March 10.-The proposal
once made, whether in jest or earnest,
has never been determined, to change
the name Of Arkansas, never drew
from the late dre-eating Jefferson pa.
Wis. of that state, a more bitter and
Senunciatory protest than the sug-
gestlons that the New York marriage
bureau be moved from historic city
hall to the newer and more ornate
municipal building has evoked from
Alderman John j. ("Happy jack
Riordan.
Somebody or something, most like.
Iy 1t was a newspaper, made the as.
sertlon that the dark and dismal base
ment of the old city hall was not a
cheerful and fitting place for the
abode OF Hymen. Since Father Knicl;.
erbocker IL pointed out, has a brand
new sky scraper for his very own
with plenty of bright and airy rooms
It would be more appropriate to have
the marriage mart" in the new quar-.
ters.
Some Of the aldermen agreed that
this was so. But not all OF them. The
notable exception was Happy Jack
Riordan, OF the Goth assembly district
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
fght in the board Of aldermen over
the doing away Of the marriage bu
reau In the city hall viii be one Of the
Iiveliest ever held.
At present the bureau is conducted
by two men designated by the city
clerk. But to perform the ceremony
they must have an alderman, 50
Happy Jack" is called in. In Brook
1yn and the other boroughs the al
dermen find marrying couples prof
table, and the attempt TO take il away
from them undoubtedly Will be bitter
Iy resented.
Those in charge Of the marriage bu
reau are not allowed to ask for fees.
The rule is that they must state that
any money given for services or fol-
certificates Of marriage must he Civ.
en- voluntarily. However, the mar
rage certificates are so beautifully
gotten up with gilt and plastered with
huge, impressive seals, that they are
sure to loosen the purse Of any happy
bridegroom.
No clergyman in the United States
probably, has to his credit having
Joined in wedlock half as many PEG
pie as Happy Jack" That is one
reason he has so many friends.
Not only in his own district which
he has represented for ten years, but
all over the greater city, Riordan 1,
known as "Happy Jack" From morn
ing until night he can be found in
tie chapel in the basement Of the city
hall, ready to join all corners in holy
Hatrimony with the tie that binds.
One of the reasons urged by those
who want to move the marriage bu
reau Is that the basement OF the city
hall is dark and dismal. But another
reason urged is the allegation that the
aldermen who hang around the city
hall for the purpose Of performin!
marriages, do so for the purpose Of
making their living that way, and hole
up the bridegroom for high fees, hu
initiating them before their brides II
they fail TO produce a dignifed sun
