malfesance in office, was a leading
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation at the hands of the National
Prohibition party in St. Paul last
week, but was defeated by ex-govor-
nor Hanley of Indiana. But the de-
feat didn't faze Bill Sulzer. At a
secret meeting of delegates of the
American party held behind closed
doors, Bill was nominated for preSl-
dent and I. G. Pollard of Indianapo-
lis for vice president. The Ameri-
can party was organized in 1855, and
the next year nominated Millard Fill
more Of New York for president. The
platform at that time reads much as
does tat adopted in Minneapolis last
week. 1t is opposed to any union
of church and state and non-interfer-
ente with religious faith or worship,
although its fundamental principle IS
opposition to the Catholic church.
Mr.. Fillmore in 1856 received S74,538
votes in the United States. The par
ty was known throughout the coun-
try as the "Know-Nothing" party,
and as such it is referred to to-day.
An effort to resurrect the party was
made in 1896, when it was known as
the A. P. A. This year it is bobblng
up again and is being advanced by
several secret organizations among
which are the "Guardians of Libe'-
ty" and others whose names are not
known.

"BEAUTIFUL HANDS"
James WhitcOmb Riley.

y. = j. s' = :. + s. & = j % j IS - g y
As I remember the first fair touch
Of those beautiful hands that | love
so much,
| seem to thrill, as l then was thrilled,
Kissing the glove that | found un-
filled
When met your gaze and the queen
ly bow
And you said to me laughingly,
keep it now!"
And dazed and alone in dream |
stand
Kissing the ghost of your beautiful
hand.
When first I loved in the long ago,
And held your hand as ! told you So
Pressed and caressed it and gave It
a kiss,
And said ~ could die for a hand like
thisw
Little I dreamed loves fuIlness yet
Had to riren when eyes were wet,
And prayers were vain in their wild
demands
For one warm touch of your beauti
ful hands.
Beautiful hands. 0, beautiful hands!
Could you reach out of the alien
lands
Where you are lingering, and give me
tonight
Only touch-were it ever so light
My heart were soothed, and my weary
brain
Would lull itself into rest again;
For there is no solace the world COM
mands
Like the caress of your beautiful
hands.

Jim Riley's Death

Tampa Times: The hearts Of
thousands Of people-Iittle children.
their parents and grandparents-have
been made sad by the death of James
Whitcomb Riley, the Indiana poet
who has spent recent winters at Mi
ami, and this sadness would extend
to animals and flowers were they ca
pabIe Of reading his heart-touching
gems.
Mr.. Riley was a lover Of everybody
and everything, it seemed. and that
love inspired him to write quaint
verses that touch all the people from
the nursery to the grave. He was
expected by his father to be a lawyer,
but he wasn't "built that way" pre-
felring communion with nature, birds
and animals in the woods and fields
to study and drudgery Of law prac-
tice and he wrote beautiful things
because he couldn't do otherwise
The following verse, written by
Howard Curry, well known Tampan,
expresses the feeling that all readers
Of Riley poems have for the dead
man:
He loved the little children an the
animals an flowers,
An nature all around him, with its
sunshine an its showers;
An he loved the bees an fishes, an
all the birds at sing,
An old folks, too, an me an you-
why, he jest loved everything!
An now the angels come an got him
an have taken him away,
Where we won't ever see him until
the judgment day;
But his memory will linger after all
the days are gone,
So we bow our head to the beloved
dead,
An thank God for the good he's done.
We bid loving adieu to the father
of Little Orphint Annie"

among the farmers of the nation.
Palatka's future depends more up
on the cultivation of the vacant lands
Of the county than upon any other
one possible resource.
Twenty-Five years ago the lands
stretching from the river to st. Angus
tine were, with the exception of an
occasional small farm, barren waste
Of fiat woods pine, and could have
been purchased, timber and all, for
80 cents per acre. Now it is a great
stretch of cultivated farm lands,
end the Hastings-E East Palatka sec
tion is known wherever the English
tongue is spoken as the greatest Irish
potato growing section in the coun-
try. Lands sell from $50 to 500 per
acre.
But this is only one section. Bost-
wick and Florahome are coming to
the front as great producing sections.
Other sections of the county also have
these natural resources of soil.
Crescent City ships more citrus
fruit than any other single point N

most thrifty, its fruit the very bcet
