work for days and weeks and months

ture to bud and bloom, and then.
while the owner is asleep or away
from home, along comes the flower
thief. under the cover of darkness,
and takes the beautiful blooms. This
happened at the home of Mrs. A. A.
. Brooks on Thursday night, May 1,
after May party of young girls. in
town. when between five or six doz-
ems of the choicest tulips were stolen
by a few of them. People have been
urged to beautify the town by beau
tifying their lawns. but what salts
faction is there to beautfy when
such contemplate thievery is per-
mitted to exist. II request that
the names of those who are guilty
be made known in order to exonerate
those at the party who were moi
guilty. 1t can and will be done. How.
ever, It is already quite generally
known who are the guilty ones.

ONE WAY TO FOOL THE PEOPLE

The Jacksonville Metropolis re
marks of the governor and his politi
cal methods: After the last guber-
material campaign, Governor Cats
called at the Metropolis office to per-
sonally thank this paper for what he
declared was it's unfailing fairness
towards him during the campaign,
(although he knew the Metropolis did
not support him.. In the course Of
the conversation the governor was
asked why he had made such bitter
attacks on the Catholics in his
speeches being one of the chic!
planks in his platform. Cats then
made this significant answer: Gov
ernor Broward was shrewd enough to
have battle cry that he could shout
loud and long all the time, and which
would stir the people UP so they
would talk about it, and that battle
cry was the Everglades, and he
worked it to finish and won. Wher
I decided to enter the governors race
I had to have battle cry which
would stir up the people, and after
careful thought I decided to choose
the Catholic question I worked it
to a finish-and I won" Now the
governor is trying out this same idea

BECAUSE HE SMILED"

Because he smiled-read that again
because he smiled, George F. Coiroy,
an Earle conductor, has received a
gift of fifteen thousand dollars
from the estate of ]. J. Adams, a
"commuter' on his road.
Every time Conductor Conroy took
up Mr.. Adams ticket he gave him
CHEEKY smile; in fact, he gave
smiles to all his passengers until 1t
was felt that commuter who missed
riding on Conroy's train was being
deprived of something that would
contribute very materially to the
days happiness.
And when Mr.. Adams died it was
found that he had willed fifteen
thousand dollars to the kindly con-
ductor, much to the surprise Of that
Individual who smiles by force OF
habit because he likes people and be-
cause he likes to drive away their
looks of worry or ill-feeling.
81 hope,' he said when appraised
of the legacy, "that he got as much
pleasure receiving those smiles as |
got giving them"
And some commuters standing by
declared that if the conductor got
paid for all his smiles at that rate
he would buy the railroad.
Nor would any one telling the story
undertake to point" moral. 1t is
merely one of those incidents that
make people stop a moment to take
stock of their own chances for win
ming an unexpected legacy because
of their native kindness and their
CHEEKY smiles Miami Metropolis.

again, in his race for the U. S. Sen
ate, and this time his battle cry
seems to be "class hatred, for he is
preaching this to stir up labor
against capital. He probably be-
lieves this is the psychological time.
with all this unrest in the country
The governor thinks, by using this
method, he can get the laboring vote,
but he forgets that in the ranks OF
labor are intelligent and loya! con-
servative Americans who think for
themselves and the governors appar-
ent solicitude for the laboring men
is laughably transparent. Intelligent
laboring men are not being caught

IT DOES RAIN FISH SOMETIMES

Rain has been raining and wind
making it windy for a couple of days
Now stories are beginning to come
III, from Anna Maria to Anclote, OF
! fish falling from the heavens, or that
direction. Please don't laugh for the
tales are probably true.
Scientists explain these showers bv
the lifting power Of the wind ard the
scientific principle early learned by
every school boy that what goes up
must come down. The way it has
been blowing for the past few days
and nights, you can never be sure
, what's up,
1ndulging in research, good au-
thoritios state that there is, FOR in
stance, record of a rain of fish that
skowered smelts all over Stanstead
parish in England in 1866.
At Baton Rouge, Mississippi, not so
blamed far away, in 1896 it is said
to have rained ducks catbirds and
woodpeckers. That sort of rain is
too far removed from the beaches so
we will get back to the seaboard
where in Boston during the days Of
