Why q crasshopper Tops the Royal
Exchange In London.

II you ever so to London among the
places of interest there you will visit
the public buildings known as the
Royal Exchange. There is a cupola at
the top OF that building. Rising from
that cupola is an iron rod with huge
grasshopper on 1t for weather vane
And there is an interesting story con-
nected with that grasshopper. 1t Is
this: One day, more than 900 years
ago, mother in England had an in
FAINT. a few months old. which she
wanted to get rid of. So she wrapped
it up in a shawl and laid it down un-
der a bush in field and left it there
to die unless some one should find 1t
and take care of it.
Shortly after q little boy was coming
home from school. As he passed by
the place he heard grasshcpper chirp-
Ing in the field. He stopped moment
to listen to it. Then be climbed over
the fence to get 1t. But just as he was
about to catch 1t he caught sight Of
the baby close by. He let the grass
hopper go and. taking the baby in his
arms. carried 1t home to his mother.
She took charge Of the baby and
brought him up. He turned out to be
q good. pious boy. He was always de-
cided in doing what he knew was
right and IN not doing what was
wrong.
When a young man he went to Lon
don and entered into business there.
He was successful in business and be
came rich. He was not only rich. but
great. He was knlghted and Is well
known In English history as Sir Thorn

lwHY OBJECT TO A
RECONSIDERATION

With an impetuosity somewhat un-
usual the democratic committee of Du-
val county has passed eondemnatory
resolutions regarding the action of w.
v. Knott in asking that a recount be
made of the ballots cast in the recent
on-characterizing the act as
one that would
open the doors of fraud, and
would do injury to the democratic
party and the nominees of said party"
Precisely how such results would
follow is not made plain by the some
what peeved committee of Duval; but
to indicate It's earnestness of purpose
along this same line the committee
concludes its resolution with the fol-
lowing entirely erroneous assertion:
THAT it is the sense of this COM
mittee that said contest is a menace
to the interests Of the democratic
party in the state of florida, and it
an attempt to defeat the expressed
will of the majority of the democratic
voters of the state OF Florida"
Certainly the committee did not
mean the expressed will Of the ma
ljority of the democratic voters Of the
state. That expression must have
been slip of the tongue-or the type
writer; for there is not voter in
the state who will dare assert that the
l''majority" of democratic voters in
the state will nominate either of the
two contestants! Those who have
kept track of the matters as they
have progressed from day to day
bknow full we'll that because of the
nature of the primary in Florida a

tered the contest has been depleted

lnee!
