 "Willle," said Jane softly, and, as he made no response, she lifted her voice little, "Wil-ce!'

 This contented her, and she seated herself so quietly upon the floor just inside the door that he ceased to be aware of her, thinking she had gone away. He sat staring vacantly into the darkness, which had come on with that abruptneSs which begins to be noticeable in September. His elbows were on his knees, and his body was sunk far forward in an attitude of des- olatiOn.

Camouflaue Not New.

The art of camOuhage is nothing new to the American Indian, as the Chris. tiaI Science Monitor points out Ages ago, comparatively speaking, before he had heard anything about firearms, he was accustomed to steal unobserved on a herd of buffalOes by the simple device of decking himself out with buffalo skin and horns. If that wasn't resort to camouflage. what was it?

Letter from Manchester District.

IL Is not encouraging to learn that
we are to have &c postage on letters.
with the increased cost of material
used in the makeup of the newspaper
and ma gaZine, and the promised in
crease of second class rates, the flu
| ture prospects of the publisher are
not promising
Even the public servant, the one
who uses his time, talent, strength,
patience and everything else to en-
nghten the young generation, teach
ing the morals and manners, besides
the three RS, is becoming dissatisfied,
demanding more money for his ser
vices, caused by the increased cost of
living. And it should be granted!
Just recently a farmer in an ad-
Jacent county after planting a large
quantity of expensive potatoes and
nndlng some of them frozen in the
ground committed suicide. One of
the Ten Commandments are Thou
shalt not kill" Our all wise creator
cares for the birds of the air and the
flowers Of the field, then why should
we become discouraged at a seeming
trial when it might have blessing in
| disguise.
! In d newspaper of 1905 we find the
! following items: Wheat sold at S6hc.
| beef sold at &c and 41ac, and hogs at
&C per pound. Twelve years later, we
find in newspaper these items:
Wheat sold at $40, beef sold at $40
to 1870, while hogs are selling at
$l5.65 to $3.50 per hundred pounds
Verify, time doth make changes
| In our last letter we made mention
that chickens have a language, SINH
lar to ours. When a hawk or crow
horers over the yard, one will COM
municate the fact to the others in a
decided way, and when there is some
dainty morsels thrown to them, is not
the whole flock invited to share equal
parts OF it?
In these days of high-priced meats,
perhaps we would be stronger and
better by becoming vegetarians, but
the shrewd American has solved the
problem. Instead of destroying the
hare and rabbit, large farms will be
used in breeding and growing rabbits
| by the millions. Rabbit meat Is prefer
able to horse flesh at all times.

MAXWELL CROSSES FLORIDA
SWAMP IN REMARKABLE RUN
Detroit Driver Pilots Car From Jack
sOnyille to Tampa for Record Mark.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 17-Taking a
route that involved the risk of sink
ing out of sight In the great Withla-
chOoChee swamp in central Florida
III his motor stopped Percy w. Gibbs,
Detroit automobile driver, this week
established a remarkable new motor
car speed and endurance record for
the 216 miles between here and Jack
sonville and attained the distinction
of having been the first man to cross
~F4Orida's second greatest bog local
ity in an automobile
Riding in the car with Gibbs was
Byron West, proprietor and editor of
the Florida Times Union, one of the
foremost good roads workers in Flori-
da, who asserted here after the run
had been finished that the trip open
ed up the possibility of developing
in the swamp the greatest adventure
field in America for motorists
Gibbs used a Maxwell touring car
on the run and he carried three pas
Isengers besides himself In addition
to the newspaper editor there was
another Jacksonville newspaper man
the good roads committee of the Jack
L.
The route through the 25 miles of
chez swamp cuts Is miles off the dis
lance between the two largest Flori-
da cities.
Gibbs left Jacksonville at l a. M.
and was in Tampa at the start of the
business day The total distance
car negotiated without car or motor
SfOn His for tho
approximately 40 miles an hour.
The route through the % miles of
swamp was made with the aid of
"a Seminole Indian native and guide,
who piloted the car from high spot
to high spot and whose final caution
to the driver was to avoid allowing
the water logged district Frequent
ly the car was in water holes two
feet deep, while water stretches
aXle-deep often continued a half mile
or more. There is no sign of life in
the jungle other than the alligators,
their native reptile companions and
the tropical birds.
The Withlachooche swamp lies
northeast of Dade City, above the
Withlachoochee river, and the dis
trict is second only to the Ever
glades as an impenetrable bog dis
trict. Gibbs crossed the swamp in
darkness, using two extra regulation
headlights attached to his windshield
to light up the trail the Indian has
marked out.
1t was asserted that still higher
speed average could have been at
tarned had 1t not been for the smoke
banks frequently encountered dur
ing the night, these arising from
smudge fires maintained by the citrus
growers to protect against recurren-
cee OF recent fFosts.
