doctrine that there is one law for
the rich man and another for the

Shakespeare's LEGS.

There is no authority for the opinion
that Shakespeare had one of his legs
broken in a drunken brawl outside of
a sonnet written by Marlowe, himself
brilliant debauchee and notorious
liar. Apart from Marlowe's dia.
tribe, there is nothing to show that
the great dramatist had a broken or
deformed leg.

The vile, pistol-toting habit, re-
sponsible for numberless murders ev-
cry year, again comes in for the
execration of decent, law-abiding
people in Florida because of the
tragedy in a Jacksonville street car
in which two young men engaged in
a bloody brawl resulting in the
death of one and the other perhaps
fatally wounded. They had nothing
in the world against each other
when they got on the car, but both
were primed for murder with their
ready guns" one played the bully
with an inoffensive negro, appar-
emily seeking a pretext to murder
him, the other protested and the
battle opened. What weary cen
turtles it takes to develop a civilized
man,

That sagacious railroad corpora
ton, the Louisville and Nashville,
realizing that its own prosperity de-
ponds upon the development of the
country through which its lines pass,
has sent its entire farm expert corps,
attached to its immigration depart
ment, into West Florida where 1t
will spend the month of February
conducting a campaign for better
farms, more and better livestock and
the application of scientific methods
to farming. The need of farming re-
form is admitted by all intelligent
people, and this railroad company is
going at 1t in a ensible way. Their
experts are not "book farmers" but
practical men who have titled the
soil themselves, conducted successful
farms by modern improved methods,
and the farmer who will turn away
from them with the notion that he
has nothing to learn from them is
a badly mistaken man. The other
kind win listen and learn and be
all the better farmers for doing so.

A cheaper form of treatment, he

Now that congress has passed the
bill providing for the increasing Of
the state militia and providing pay for
militiamen, Pendleton has started a
move to form a company and to Sc
cure if possible regimental or batta-

tive committee Of the Security League
of the State, called attention to the
bill and recommended immediate steps
toward forming a company Of militia
