OWNERSHIP Is IMPERATIVE

W. P. Doske, vice president Of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen,
told the House Committee on Inter
state Commerce that Government
ownership Of the railroads is the only
solution of the problem in this coun-
try. He opposed the return Of the

A BEAUTIFUL PEARL.

A great sensation, a the "Univer-
sal" of Caracas of IA May. has been
caused in Cumaua by the findirg of an
enormous pearl, discovered on the Ara
va coast. It's weight is 81 grammes and
it is of beautiful lustre and according to
experts, one of the most beautiful gems
that has ever been seen there or at
Margarita. The pearl was bought for
S 1900 from the nine men who compris-
ed the fortunate crew of the boat which
discovered it, and was sold five days
after for $40, 400. The actual owner is
Mr.. S. Abouhamad, a resident of Mar
garita. The pearl has been valued at
$40, 600. 1t is about the size of a cen
times coin (about s~ixpence). Ibid.

PIETY BY LAW.

Persons who prefer public-houses to
church services in England are still liza
BILE to prosecution by the church wardens,
according to a Finsbury Vicar.
Acts providing for the punishment of
recusancy were passed in the reigns Of
Edward vi and Elizabeth. Those who
were absent from church without reason
able or lawful excuse were liable to for
felt for each non-attendance "12 pence,
to be levied by the church-wardens to
the use of the poor"
1t is on record that in 1880 ten people
were imprisoned for not attending their
parish churches. Most of these disabling
laws were swept away early in Queen
VictOria's reign.
If Investigation was made into the
unrepealed, ancient statutes relating to
the church, it would probably be found
that there are other peculiar duties
devolving upon church-wardens.
In some churches they were at one
time responsible that none Of the congre-
cation INDUCED in a nap during the SER
vice.
Our forefathers were fated to listen to
long eermons, and in order to ensure that
no one took refuge in sleep the church
wardens paraded the allies, carrying long
rods. Immediately a nodding head was
seen down would come the rod with a
smart tap, and only rarely was it neces-
sary to repeat the punishment.
church-wardens formerly regularly en-
ployed men to whip dogs out OF church
during divine service. Ibid.

with a cargo of molasses for Newfound-

Capt. Hassell reports that on Tuesday

1894 N. and long. 6O.36 w. he saw a
small sail to the N. E. Of the Lillian,
and becoming suspicious as to what it
may be, he at once steered for it and
found it to be a boat known to marin
ers as a dory, with Can't. Frede

Humans reported to him that his ship

mainmast and the schooner got damaged
by the s9ar5 falling alongside and under
the stern. He stood by her trying to
keep her afoat, until on Monday the
ship was sinking; his crew being worn
out by the pumping Of the ship trying
to keep her adoat. He then decided
to abandon her, and himself and crew
of seven men took to his boat, the little
craft being 50 very small they could
not take but very little provisions with
them.
When rescued by Capt. HasseIl, Capt.
Humans and the crew had been twenty
two hours in the dory and without food,
a few dry biscuits and a little barrel
of water towing to the stern of the
boat being all on which they had to sub
sist 1t was blowing quite a S. E. breeze
of wind and a heavy sea was on. The
boat which was patched with canvas
was leaking badly and Capt. Humans
feared that if he had been out much
longer it would have been all owe with
them as they were sitting up to their
knees in water and they expected the
dory to sink unde" them.

as delicious as any ever served on
the table of New England farm
er. I've have a peculiar, we
might say excessive fondness for
pumpkin pies, especially those
that are made right. We are,
therefore, naturally very CRATE
full to Mr. Hagan for his very &C
ceptable contributions to The Her
add home larder. 1t should be
said that he raises pumpkins up to
fifty-pounders.
A third friend, Bert Hagan of

delicious grapefruit from his
grove on the north side, ard he re-
.quested that no mention be made

has such generous friends refrain
from Dragging about it? 1t is

bors, that make life worth living,

probation Of them.

Tree Memorial Association
This has been formed for the
purpose Of establishing a fitting
memorial for our soldiers who
have served in the great war, and
especially for those who fell for
the cause of liberty. 1t is propos-
cd to plant along either side of
| the Dixie Highway that runs
from north to south through our
county, evergreen trees every
hundred feet, and for each one
that made the supreme sacrifice,
TO plant a magnolia tree.
This method of honoring our
illustrious soldiers, will have a
two-fold effect. To build living
monuments to their honor, and to
beautify and adorn our chief
highway. The delightful climate
of Florida is especially favorable
to such a scheme. Trees thus
planted, if attended until they get
a good start, will in time make a
pleasing archway through the
county, that will shade the high
way, and will also be an adver-
iscment to the thrift and pro-
yrcSsiveneSs Of our citizenship. i

ountry adjacent to Winter Park S

Doctors and Druggists Claim Gallo

Best Laxative for Colds, Grippe
and Influenza.

At the first sign of a cold is the
time to take a Calotab; the perfected
nausealess calomel that has all the
liver benefits left in and the sting
taken out. Doctors say that there is
nothing like it to put your liver right
and keep your system in condition
and avoid colds, influenza and pneu-
monia.
The best insurance against infu-
enza and pneumonia is a good active
liver and your physician or druggist
will tell you that Calotabs is the most
thorough and effective, as we'll as the
safest and most agreeable remedy for
this purpose.
One Calotab at bed time with
swallow of water-that's all. No
salts, no nausea, nor the slightest in
reference with your eating, pleas
ure, or work. Next morning you
awake feeling fine with hearty APP
petite for breakfast. Your cold has
vanished and you are ready for work
or play. Calotabs are sold by drug

lighted.-(adv.)
