An Unmarked Grave That is Shame
to Florida

Gainesville Sun: Probably very
few people know that there sleeps in
one of the picturesque old cemeteries
of Alachua county. in an unmarked
grave by the side of his wife, son and
two daughters, former governor of
Florida. The writer refers to Madi-
son Starke Perry, who was governor
from 1858 to 1861, who was buried in
Oak Ridge cemetery, three miles from
Rochelle. By his side sleeps his son.
Starke Perry, and a young daughter,
and at their head is the beloved wife
and mother, and the last of the family
to die, Miss Sallie Perry.
Strange to say, none of these graves
are marked to show who sleeps there,
although the family was quite veal
thy, and only the memory of old citi-
zens Is depended upon to locate the
grave of one whom the State had hon
ored with the highest office within its
gift. 1t is stated that Miss SalIie
Perry provided in her will for the
erection of a suitable monument. but
of this the writer has no knowledge. .
However, certain citizens, feeling that ,
something should he done. requested .

? ended that the Legislature r.a1,, m

Punta Gorda Herald: The Palm
Beach Post offers a wise and practi-
cal suggestion for the relief of the
newspapers and other interests that
are suffering from the high cost of
paper. 1t is that the state of Flori-
da should establish a paper mill on
the convict farm at Raiford and use
a part of the prisoners to operate the
mill. The output would not come in
competition with the products of free
labor, and, therefore, the American
Federation of Labor would have no
cause to complain. The suggestion
merits the earnest consideration of
the legislature and the support of the
state newspapers.

HETHERINGTON'S
TROUBLES.

In Tuesdays edition of the Lake
land Evening Telegram, Editor NJ.
Hetherington, a man known through
out Florida as one of the States mos
brilliant editor-promoters, has the fol
lowing plant:
During Il recent political GEM
paign Editor Russell. of Palatka,
declared that he was endeavoring
to be Christian and a gentle
man under very trying circum-
stances. The editor of this pa
per is doing the same thing un-
der conditions very few editors
ever had to contend with. In
a newspaper experience of over
a quarter of a century we have
never known so much malice, We
nom and mendacity injected into
a community as this one has been
afflicted with for the past six
months. 1t is without parallel
in the history of journalism in
the country-journalism up to
this time having been regarded
as a fairly decent profession.
Our efforts to be a Christian
and gentleman are greatly aid
ed by the manifold expressions of
encouragement and confidence
that pour in upon US from THE
leorle of the community, whose
disgust for the mudslinging tao
tics employed against US knows
no bounds.
One OF the most comforting aids we
have ever known to come from the
pen Of human, and fitted for the
present Hetherington state of mind,
is entitled "If," and was written by
Rudyard Kipling, of which the fol-
loving excerpts are the most puts

THE COST OF WOMAN.

Had Adam known that his rib was
to be taken and turned into woman,
would he have consented?"
This question was asked by wo-
man at missionary meeting in a nor
thern city some time ago, and left
oren to conflicting opinion.
The woman of to-day, like Pandora
Of Old, is bound to pry into things and
turn loose upon the world a lot of
troubles.
That stolen rib of Adams was sup
posed to he a closed incident. The
borrowed member was long since re-
stored to man. For countless genera
tons he has had the rib as we'll as the
woman close to his heart. Man
wasn't worrying over the rib affair at
all. He had all but forgotten it.
But woman, womanlike, must, of
course, prod him out of his compla-
cent forgetfulness and demand that
he tell her whether or not he is sorry
that she is in existence.
Adam has left no evidence of his
feeling on the subject, and we can
only guess at this late date whether
he would willingly have exchanged a
rib for a woman or not. You may
guess either way and feel confident
that your position can not be dis
proved.
But this much may be said with
certainty. Adam would have been at
A disadvantage He would have been
