Revelations
of o. Wife
"Who is Nellie 2"
BY ADELE GARRISON.

who is Nellie?" / asked. / fondly
believed that my voice held only or
dinary interest. IF this coffee is
made after her recipe I'd like to meet
her"
Into Dickys eyes there crept the
mischievous dancing look which l have
learned means that ne is enjoying
some jest of his own making.
Nellie is a lady" he paraphrased,
sonorously "She is also one of the
best models an artist ever was blessed
with"
"A model" I said family. My ideas
of models had been CLEANED from
stories and magazine jests. L always
had realized vaguely that Dicky must
employ feminine models, but our court
ship and marriage had been such a
whirlwind affair that Dicky's work had
not entered into it. L realized now
that 1 never had seen Dicky's studio,
and that he never had asked me to
see it. Why?
The maddening little question slipped
into my brain and curled down in an
unused cell to come out later and
torment me.
"A model" Dicky returned, land one
of the most interesting women l know.
She has a mysterious past that nobdy
ever has been able to fathom, although
all of US have tried hard enough, at
one time or another. L think she is a
widow, although no one really knows.
But she is a bully good scout, always
trying to do some little favor for US.
Many is the time she has seen to it
that 1 had lunch when without her |
would have gone all day without
stopping to eat
is she attractive?" 1 hated myself
for the question. My brain must be
added from the headache.
'.Oh. a winner" Dicky returned,
smiling. The boys are all quite mad
about her, but she is very impartial.
She distributes smiles and coffeS,
mending and cough drops to US alike,
the just and unjust. l am quite proud,
however. She told me once l was the
incest gentleman in all the studios.
The quotation Jared upon me- This
girl whoever she was, must be quite
common and underbred. Doubtless she
was beautiful, however. l understood
models had to be. How l wondered
for which one of Dicky's numerous
covers she had posed. AS if he had
read my thoughts, he arose
you are so interested in Nellie, the
beautiful cloak model that you are
not eating" he said accusingly- I'll
get you one of the covers for which
she posed, if you'll promise TO fin -
every crumb.''
He went into his room where he kept
a pile of his drawings and returned IN
moment with one which he spread
out before me with a face brimful OF
mischief. a tall. comely, coloTed wom-
an, distinctly middled-aSed, with
most infectious smile, was holding out
her arms TO a toddling plckanlnny,
while around her several other woiIy-
headed YOUNGSTERS beamed with pride
at the baby.
This is Nellie he said. whimsi-
cally and then, bending over me, he
kissed me tendarIy.

IN WHICH CLASS?

II believe in the Chamber of Com
merce, I think it is a good thing for
the town, but 1 cannot see how it will
help my business
Have you not heard something like
this, in the last few days? The answer
is simple: How can anything that
ness?
Every business man in the commun-
ity, it ma tiers not what his calling,
is more or less dependent, upon every
other business man; the success OF
every enterprise which helps Pensa-
cola, helps you. 1t is as simple as the
working out of a sum in addition.
What is a town? Is it not an ag-
gregation of people, a community of
interest? If not, it is bound to be
a mighty poor excuse for town.
In every town there are men who
work for the interest of the entire com
munity; these men are faithful in the
discharge of their business obligations.
They work to build up the business of
the town.
They are not philanthropists-th
are hardheaded business men; they
know that as the town grows. as the
county grows, their business must
grow. And as they work, they build,
and as they grow, you grow; as their
business expands, so does yours.
When these men induce people to
come to Pensacola to engage in bust
ness enterprises it means better trade,
better payrolls, and these payrolls put
money into circulation, and money in
circulation means better business for
everybody.
| But what right have you to profit
| by these things? If you have not in
terested yourself in anything outside
your own business. what right have
you to the profits which line your
pockets?
You may claim that you have built
up your own trade. and that may be
Itrue, in a measure, but how can you
build up a trade without something to
draw from. and how would you have
had anything to draw upon, if other
men had confined their efforts as
closely to their own affairs as you
have confined yours?
/ Whatever helps Pensacola helps you
mot indirectly, but directly, and no
man has the right to stand back and
expect the other fellow to make up the
commercial organization which will
| be a direct benefit to his business. Nc
man has a right to refuse his mem
bership in an organization that means
a better Pensacola.
| Pensacola is working for a great
trade body. men and money are need
ed to place this city where it belongs
land those men and that money will
be secured. Pensacola does not need
opportunities-she needs men. These
men intend to put this town on the
map in great big letters.
When the day comes that Pensacola
supremacy has been established, you
will profit, and if you have not giver
the Chamber of Commerce your sup
port, your profits will not be honest
You have no right to profit with the
lgrowth of a city that other men are
making possible.
Join the Chamber of Commerce to-
day, and help Pensacola grow. Be ;
litter, not a 1eaner.

DANGEROUS PROPAGANDA.

AS the Cats campaign progresses
and the governor of Florida appears
before the people of the state as a can
didate for the United States senate,
the utterances from the platform and
some of the material which is appear
ing as Cats propaganda, causes one
to wonder what kind of representa- ton
Florida could possibly hope to have.
from man who bases his appeal to
the people upon such a foundation of
misrepresentation.
One of the ways in which Governor
Cats has chosen to show up" Fletcher
to the voters. is by the publication of
a bill int r u into the SEN
ate on December, 1919, by Fletcher,
which was read twice and referred to
| the committee on judiciary: This bill
was designed to prevent conspiracy
against the government of the United
States, suggested the deportation of
Bolshevists to the Island of Guam, and
was entitled: A Bill TO punish cons pir-
acy against organized government: Be
1T enacted by the senate and house of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in congress assembled, That
every citizen of the United States who
| directly or indirectly commences or
carries on any verbal, written or print
ed intercourse or correspondence with
any person, or persons, whether citi-
zens or aliens, with the intent, either
peacefully or by violence to overthrow
the government of the United States,
or to disintegrate or in any other man
lner set aside or do away with the
government of the United States or to
do away with all government: or who

association, or society, foreign or do
mestic, having any such purpose; or
who directly or indirectly, publicly or
tprivately, associates himself or her
self with any other person or persons
having any such purpose; or who, hav-
/ ing such intent or purpose congre-
gates, or who has or permits to be
congregated. for him or her, any meet
| ing of other persons, the purpose of
which is to secure the cooperation of
such persons in an attempt, either
peacefully or by violence, to overthrow,
disintegrate, or in any manner do away
with or set aside the government of
| the United States. or all government
generally, including that of the United
States, or who has in his possession,
l.custody, or control any dangerous ex-
| plosive for the purpose of causing the
death of any person or persons, whom
lsoever, as the result of any understand
ling or agreement with another person
or persons to the injury of the gov
ernment of the United States. shall be
deemed and held adhering to the
enemies of the United States, giving
them aid and comfort; and, upon con-
viction, shall be fined not less than
| $5. 900 for each offense and imprison-
ment not less than one nor more than
ten years, or may, in lieu of such fine
and Imprisonment, in the discretion of
| the judge, be deported permanently to
I the Island of Guam.
There is not a word or a line in this
bill which could possibly be construed
to refer. to any person or persons ex-
cept those who We're attempting to
overthrow the government OF the

Returning Sanity.

Returning Sanity.
The ovation given Senator Fletcher
wherever ne has appeared in Florida
is noted by leading men, and the press,
as being a return to sanity on the
part of the citizenship of this state.
Senator Fletcher is one of the big
men" of the nation, and Florida, as
we'll as the rest of the country, has
felt the beneficial results of his su-
perior business acumen. And the way
he is being received in his itinerary
throughout the state shows that our
people appreciate his great work.
Long ago the Pilot suggested the
formation of Fletcher clubs in every
election precinct. 1t still holds to the
value theerof, and hopes that this
work, already well under way in many
places, will proceed until the state is
covered.

Press Comment
Profiteering-ln New York.

Eugene A. Sullivan, known to the
west side market district as the "pota-
to king" and head of the Eugene A.
Sullivan company, was arrested today
on charge Of profiteering. Complaints
against him, sworn to by department
of justice agents, alleged he sold $4,000
pounds of potatoes for which he paid
$5.15 a hundred pounds for S6.75 a hun
dred. Sullivan waived hearing and was
held in 81 900 bail. This happened in
New York. 1t is possible that any
wholesale or retail dealer in Florida
would be arrested for selling potatoes
at s6.75 a hundred pounds, when he
only paid s5.15 hundred for them 1t
seems that New York has authorities
who look after the profiteers.-Miami

rumor Of the presidents death was
reported to him, and for an anxious

apparently thought only of the grav-

Yet beause this man has the gen.

END DEADLOCK
OVER R. R. BILL
BY Elimination of AntiStrike
Provision and Modifying
Rate Making Section.

Washington, Feb 5--(A. P.)--Chair-
men Cummins and Esch of the senate
and house conference committees, re-
spectfully, began today ironing out
minor differences on the railroad bill
on which virtually q complete agree
ment was reached late yesterday by
the conferees. Elimination of the anti
strike provision and modification of the
rate making section contained In the
bill as it passed the senate, the chief
issues between the two branches of
congress, broke the deadlock that ex-
listed for weeks, and conference leaders
expressed belief report could be made
ready by the end of the week
1t is planned to expedite the bill in
both houses so the measure, which is
designed to meet conditions growing
out of the return of the railroads to
their private owners, can be enacted
into law by March /. the date on which
the government will reinquish control.
In agreeing to eliminate the anti
strike clause of the Cummins bill the
conferees substituted a provision that
in effect amounts to compulsory sub
mission of wage disputes to a federal
board appointed by the president. Such
disputes first would be considered by
boards composed equally OF employees
and employers, but the findings of these
boards must be approved by the board
named by the president, which also
would hear appeals in which agree
ments are not represented by other
boards. All classes of employees would
have representation on the lower
boards.

FRED MURPHY STOOD IN
MORTAL FEAR OF DEATH
Told Friend He Was Afraid of
Sheriff Warren.

Nashville, Feb. 5.--Fred Murphy,
who was mytseriously hanged in the
McMinnville Jail last week, was
lured to his death by a decoy letter.
Federal agents announce they have
information that Murphy. who had
fed, was notified that trumped-up
charges of forgery against him had
been dropped and that 1t was safe
for him to return home.
Murphy is said to have told friends
that should Sheriff A. =. Warren ever
get his hands on him it would cost
him his life He had lived in fear
of death ever since he led revenue
agents to Warrens moonshine still.
The sheriff and his wife, who were
arrested Tuesday in connection with
Murphy's death and released on $25,-
600 bond, has the sentiment OF the
community behind them.
John Rufus Rains, Alexander Van
hooser and Floyd Cummings, deputy
sheriffs, also arrested In connection
with the case, are stlll In Jail.
Government investigators have met
hostility at many points In the course
OF their probe because of the feeling
of the people. Murphy's death caused
but a ripple of comment in the little
town, but the arrest of the sherih
and his wife have caused wave OF
indignation to sweep far into the
mountains
