other men. I have seen lots of men
without money, but have never seen a
man without an excuse. My only
excuse for not being at the hearing
was that was busy trying to attend to
my own business, the time passed
away and was one and half hours
late in starting. was on time for the
afternoon session and the honorable
board was one half hour late. I want
to say that I don't think that the hon
orable board has anything on me.
My friend Mr.. Gates proved to the
board that he was present at all meet
ings before the contract was let for
tearing the old bridge down. am
quite sure that if Mr.. Gates had want
ed to find me after I had been to the
court house to see him he could have
found me. If Mr.. Gates was present
that morning he was late and did not
answer to his name.
l want to say a word in behalf of
Mr.. Wentworth the young commission
er, he has made a success of his per-
sonal affairs and in my opinion will
work to the best interest of the people
of Escambia county.
/ want to say that if the people of
Escambia county have to pay over 3

THE PLACE YOU DREAM OF.

There still remains one place on
| earth, inhabited by white people
where there's no work--and no taxes
no laws, no police, no tag days, no
strap-hanging. no alarm clocks-and
nothing to worry about.
Tristan da Cunha is the place.
It's an island in the south Atlantic
ocean, 1900 miles southwest of st.
Helena, where the imprisoned Napo-
leon died. The Tristanites are descen-
dants Of the relief garrison of British
soldiers stationed there during Napo-
Icons captivity.
Tristan is such a healthy place that
nobody ever gets sick. so there are no
doctors. Once the people had chest
of medicine. but about 10 years ago
they go tired of having 1t around in the
way, so they ditched it into the sea-
You've dreamed of a place like iris
tan. It's the sort of paradise you
yearn for when life in Pensacola gets
your goat and you'd like to crawl in
hole and pull the hole after you.
Only about 100 people live on Iris
tan. but they boast that no one ever
wanted to leave

a year. No other contact with the
outside world. If you could stow away
aboard that cruiser, you'd find, at
Tristan:
An island Fl miles around. A snow
clad extinct volcano risirg in the cent
er. small village on a fertile green
peninsula. Nothing to make people
work Nothing to pay taxes for.
The inhabitants eat fish, wild fowl
birds eggs. clans, fruit and wild po-
tatoes When they want meat, they go
out and kill wild sheep or cattle.
Clothing ana ammunition are obtained
from the crew of the cruiser by barter
ing of the seals that sport on Tristan's
rocky shores.
Tristan Is said to be the only white
settlement in the world that has no
organized government.
Inherited discipline from the peoples
soldier-ancestors, along with such an
abundance of everything that there's
no reason for committing theft or
other crimes. has made laws and or
ganized government unnecessary.
The nearest neighbors are 1900 miles
away. While everybody in Tristan
has all he wants and is contented.
there's nothing worth stealing by inva-
ders. Hence, no worry about wars.
Wouldn't Tristan be wonderful
place to migrate to, with your 100 best
friends?
There may be better places to live
than Tristan, but

THE PARABLE OF THE TROUBLE
SOME TOOTH.

I had a tooth that gave me much
trouble. For the Dentist filled it, and
filled it yet again; and when the
Nerve within it died, then did he treat
the Root, and filled it once more.
And there were certain years where
in it gave me good service, and 1 de-
pnded upon it when / wanted to come
down hard upon the Steak.
But there came a day when the Den
fist said, There is no more that 1 can
do. And SO far as I see, it doeth no
harm; but the day is not far distant
when thou wilt lose it.
Now it soon came to pass that the
Tooth gave me trouble; but I went not
again unto the Dentist, for said,
There is but one thing that he can do
for it; and that can never be undone;
little longer, whatever service / now
get is Velvet.
But the feel of it was not like unto
Velvet; for it gave me pain in mine
Eye, and pain in mine Ear. And there
was a Sabbath Day when it hurt me
all the time I stood in the House of
God.
And on the next morning I woke
early, anu 1 was on the step OF the
office of the Dentist when he came
from Breakfast.
And what he did to It was a plenty.
But when I came away, spake unto
Keturah. saying. Thine husband is a
man less wise than men think him;
for had I shown half the good sense
with which men credit me, then had
done this Two Months ago.
And I thought of the way men hold
onto Bad Habits, that give them dis
comfort, and help them not at all to
deal righteously with God or Man; yet
how they Lfnger Shivering on the
Brink, and dread the feeling of the
Cold Iron.
And unto all such men, say, Fool
not with the matter nor delay; see
that thou have the bad habit removed,
and cast it far from thee. And though
thou feel some sence of Ache and
Vacuity, yet shall this also be for thy
comfort and Good Health.

POET TAGORE HOPES

Nobel Prize Winner Desires
Genius of KreisIer for
India.
BY JESSIE MCBRIDE.

The little hook of one hundred
poems that won Rabindranath Ia
gore the Nobel Prize Of $4,000 is
made up of devotional songs in trans
lation. Tagore Is most popular in
India as a writer and composer OF
songs-songs that embrace every
feeling of the human heart He quite
often sings as he writes his songs.
and Tagore also is great singer
himself. He has voice which. ac-
cor3ing to an English critic. is
"more At for heaven than for earth"
A Tagore authority, Basanta Koo-
mar Roy, author of "Rabindranath
TaRore, the Man and His Poetry"
caught some interesting comments OF
the great Eastern poet on the music
and personality of Fritz Krelsler, the
illustrious viClinist, during the poets
stay in New York this, spring.

VARIETY IS SPICE
/ OF POP CONCERT
\ FRIDAY EVENING
Vaudeville Professionals to Aid
Home Talent at High
\ School Stadium.
By JESSIE A. MacBRIDE.

We've always clamored for some
public use of Washington's great
stadium at Central High School.
The Pop" concert to be given
Friday night at 8 o'clock by the
Community Center Department of
the Public Schools. at the great
stadium at Thirteenth and Clifton
streets. should mark the beginning
OF a genuine civic use Of this great
outdoor auditorium.
In New York the large Lewiston
Stadium is just inaugurating a Sc
ries of eight weeks OF orchestral
concerts. with soloists, at popular
prices. Washington could, with
profit to her residents, have a week
ly event--with a small admission
fee--that would relieve the dearth OF
outdoor recreations easily accessible
to all of us. Washington's Stadium
should be for all.
Program for Everyone.
When the people Of Washington
were promised an unusual entertain
ment at the stadium even those in
charge did not realize the full meas
ure OF generosity on the part of
managers and entertainers that
would make possible the program
that will be given.
Through the courtesy OF Roland
Robbins and the kindness of the
performers, the famous "Blue Devils"
of Arabia will appear in the acts
that entitle them to the name OF the
Eight Flying Blue Devils" Quot
ing from Keith's Theater News It
wings has ever passed through AIR
with such rapidity and grace as do
these dervishes.
A WhirI Of Grace.
The cart wheel. so dear to the
heart of every boy, is one OF their
specialties, but they turn with such
.rapidity that the resemblance is that
of wheel revolving SO rapidly on
its axle that the spokes cannot be
seen"
The Cosmos Theater, through the
Kindness Of Manager A. Brylawski,
is supplying the two famous Bel
gian clowns the Gaudschmits, and
their equally famous and almost hu-
man French dogs.
With the approval and co-opera-
ton of the manager OF the Strand
Theater, A. T. Sparrow, two acts
have been donated to this evening Of
amusement. Basil Lambert, xylo-
phonist, will play classical and pop
ular selections. This instrument is
particularly suited to the outdoor
stadium, and when accompanied by
the Navy Yard Band, will give a
rare treat. The other act from the
Strand Is an athletic exhibition by
the gymnasts. Ajax and Emily.
Ajax" is a fine specimen of we'll
balanced muscular control and his
feats Of strength are marvellous.
Emily" his wife, assists.
Band and Singing.
A concert by the Navy Yard Band,
and recreational singing led by Rob-
ert Lawrence. organizing director
of Washington's first great Music
Week. who comes to Washington for
this event, will make the first sta
dunn popular" concert red letter
event.
The Community Center Department
feels very grateful to managers and
performers who have offered their
assistance in making tho event Of
Friday success.
A few seats will be reserved for
those who wish to pay rs cents,
but the seats generally will be only
10 cents.
