That not all the city property own

tary ordinance are opposed to its pro-
visions, but that. on the other hand
many Of them realize the importance
OF its enforcement, Is being evidenced
by letters and expressions received

As some OF the letters received
were exhibited by DIR. o. NJ. Cox. he
said:
"The pople Of Pensacola should read

More oratory.

Four men sat at a small table In q
corner of the crowded hotel dining
room, In Ell Centre. Their names

center of the room. Marshall was al
ways a target of speculation. Mac

Babcock completed a combination
which encouraged speculations and
head-shak.ngs. The room was jammed
with valley men. The meeting of the
-anchers and the several water COM
panies had been called for that after
noon, the summons signed by Fara-
day himself. Nothing else had been
talked of for fortnight.
1t was known throughout the valley
that the work at the intake was not
yet begun; that Richard was waiting
there for of'ders: that Faraday and
the president of the United States
were involved in correspondence as TO
the responsibility for the future con-
troll of the river. Faraday's eagerness
TO shift his burden was looked upon
as suspicious. II was In the air that

girls, saw spots or tie. The future of

drifts had piled up. Mexicol No one
knew better than Hardin how absurd
it was 70 accuse the sister country Of

were inl Where was it all going TO
end?
In the lobby, Hardin ran up against
Brandon, who was following a news
scent. Through the valley It was being
rumored that subscriptions were to be
asked for the completion Of the work
If this were the intention, there would
be a hot meeting.

The long peninsula tapering south

No woman is permitted to visit the
sacred ground of the mountain, not
that the order looks down on woman,
but rather I'm tribute to her power to
draw the thoughts of men from the
eternal things. Despite the prohibition,
however, there are rumors Of women
disguised who fed to Athos and found
sanctuary there In the time Of the
Greek revolt and the war with the
Turks. It is whispered, too, that the
daughter of an English admiral accom-
panied her father on an official visit
In the uniform Of a midshipman.

As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face--Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
In their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some

Naturally. there is considerable differ

the nose quickly detects this difference.

universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
