(Fort Myers Press.)

Plans for new passenger depot
for Fort Myers will shortly be pre-
pared by the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad according to an agreement
entered into between officials rep
resenting the company and the Fort
Myers city council, the agreement to
build structure, which it is under
stood will be of distinctive style
of architecture and will be one Of
the most attractive on the lines cp~
Grated by the company in Florida,
being reached following conference
which was held by the council and
officials of the company headed by
J. G. Murchison, general manager Of
the road.
According to statements made az
the conference, which was in the
nature of a special meeting of the
council, Investigations are now being
carried out by architects employed
by the railroad covering various
structures of Spanish mission design
which have been erected by various
lines on the Pacific coast From data
and the various ideas gathered dur
ing the investigation, the plans for
the Fort Myers depot will be de-
signed, and it is believed that while
no definite figures have been given
out, the improvement will involve
a large amount. The new depot will
be located between Lee and jackson
streets adjoining Peck avenue. the
city having agreed to declare both
Lee and Jackson streets closed at
their intersection with the railroad,
the company in return agreeing to
the opening of Hendry street across
the tracks. Peck avenue will also be
diverged at the depot site and the
drivewasy and approaches to the
new building will be beautifed,
parkways being laid out fronting the
building. An ordinance was pre-
pared and carried during the meet
ing providing for the necessary
changes to have effect Immediately
on the beginning of the construction
of the depot.
The action of the railroad in un-
dertaking the erection of new de.
pot in this city was entirely volun-
tary on the part of the company, and
is held as indicating the faith of the
roads officials in the ultimate
growth and development of Fort My
ers and their conviction as to Fort
Myers standing as one of the princi-
pal and most popular resorts of
South Florida. It is stated that a
number of the most prominent Of
flcials of the company have for a
number Of years past taken a most
decided person interest in this city
and it is rumored that they have

Mr. Nelson travels over the coun.

no ill effects. The Times Union had

Again just ten days ago while Mr..
Nelson was foraging for his dinner

ugly wounds about one inch apart

THE LEGEND OF THE SLAVE BIRD

We were reading the other day in
an article by C. A. David an interest
ing little legend telling how the mock
ing bird learned the music of the 9TH
er birds, and became the sweet sing
er that we of today know him.
The story goes that at a conclave
of all the birds, it was decided that
all should sing and it should then be
determined which was the sweetest
singer. A large number of birds sang,
some well, some poorly, some indiffer-
emily, when towards the close of the
gathering, the lark stepped forward
and sang one of the most beautiful
songs imaginable.
! The OWL who was judge, announc-
ed the first prize for the lark, but
stated that any others that had not
tried, might as yet do so. Other birds
tried, but could not equal the lark,
and last of all came forward slim,
gray bird and attempted to sing, but
could not for it was tongue-tied.
Then the owl, angered, decreed
that this tongue-tied, bird, being dis
grace to the bird family, should be a
slave to the lark, the sweet singer.
So the silent, gray bird toiled and
toiled, gathering worms and other
food for the lark, while the lark sang
but all the time the slave bird was
repeating over and over, in its head,
the silver notes that trickled from
the lark's throat.
BY and by the lark, sick, about to
die, traded the gray bird off to rob-
lin, for bright red cherry which she
craved. He then worked and toilei
for the robin, never complaining, and
treasured in his heart the robins
song.
He was later sold to the jay, the
wren, the cuckoo, the crow, and many
Others. All the time he worked faith
fully and al the time he memorized
the songs of his various masters.
Finally, a kingfsher bought him,
but was so cruel to him that one day
when he had not succeeded in catch
ing any fish, the kingfisher beat him
and left him for dead.
The slave bird dragged himself to
a stream Of water to quench his thirst,
and as he drank, he opened his mouth
TO give thanks to the Creator for the
cooling draught, and all of a sudden
a burst of the sweetest music, hither-
to unheard. poured from his throat.
All the songs of all his masters came
from the slave bird that was once
tongue-tied, and so sweetly did he
sing that the same old owl that once
pronounced him slave, declared him
free, and furthermore decreed that
whenever the hooking bird should
sing, all other birds should keep ST
lent, to show their reverence and re-
spect for one that could pass through
years of hardships and slavery, and
still retain kindly, gentle spirit, and
heart free from bitterness.
Pretty little story, isn't it?
And there is a lesson in it for us
some time or other, in some way or
all. The world is the assembly of
birds and to each of us is given. at
other. the lot of the slave bird. To
each of us come many times in life,
tasks that we would gladly be freed
fromm; to many of us. our hardships

Checking System.

Tho Consolidation Coal Co. have re.
Gently established system by which
they are able to check every man as
he goes in and out of the mines. By
this means, any time, in case of dan
ger. authorities are able TO tell at
once how many men there are in the
mines and just who they are. Each
miner has a check which he carries
with him into the mines and returns
TO the check board as he exits The
system may also prove valuable in
