Take Pictures of Drunk Papa.

New York.-"Mamma should take a

drunk and hang it in conspicuous
place where he can see 1t when he
wakes up with parched tongue and

the advice given by Magistrate Morti-

six cases of husbands abusing their
wives while intoxicated Young girls
marry drunkards to reform them, but
you can't reform rummy," the mag

ENGLAND AND PROHIBITION.

The declaration of Baron Birken-
head, chancellor of Great Britain, that
he does not believe Britain will ever
adopt prohibition, comes as a diversion
to persons who have witnessed the
change that has come in the United
States. It would be presumptuos to
predict what Great Britain may do on
the prohibition issue, but is it not just
as presumptuous to predict what it
will not do?
The fortunes of many of the British
nobility and even of the clergy are
wrapped up in the liquor business in
one form or another, and it is to be
expected that they should depreciate
any talk about taking away this bus
mess through the adoption of prohibit
ton. The fact that they are protesting
so loudly against the possibility may
be accepted as an indication of the
fear that it may come to pass.
Baron Birkenhead was speaking to
the members of the Allied Brewery
Traders association when he gave as
surance that prohibition for Great
Britain was not a thing that need be
feared, but the assurance was given
in a manner that leads to the suspi-
cion that the activities of the drys
in THE Tight Little Isle" are getting
on the nerves Of those who are profit
ing most from the liquor traffic.

as it would be to put aside an earnest
child's questioning.
Il should very much like to- fish,
but I do not know how" I returned.

next question, and I resolved to find
out the reason of his unreasoning
flight up the hillside when he had
first caught sight Of Dicky and me.

hil?" I asked
He hung his head as small boy

went on. II know how to cast very
well and I should be charmed to

The oddness of the mans courtIy
words in contrast to his child-like de-
meanor affected me curiously. 1t was
almost like hearing the catch phrases
of society from the lips Of a slarge
doll. I was about to refuse when l
met the mans eyes. They were shin
ing LUMINOSITY at me, filled with
eagerness. To have refused his offer
would have been like depriving q
child Of some pleasure.

seldom observed in politics. However,
Georgia is interested in what Florida
does about tick eradication because
Georgia is directly affected and can
not be entirely safe until Florida and
her neighboring states join in the
movement to drive the tick from the
face of the earth. Along this line the
News says:
Georgia is most especially inter-
ested in what Florida does about tick
eradication, because the part of Geor-
gia that is not free of tick borders
on the Florida line OF Florida's
area only thirteen per cent. has been
released from tick quarantine, and it
is very difficult to prevent reinfesta-
ton of part of Georgia close to the
Florida line so long as the latter
state is tick-infested. The probatil-
ity is that much OF the difficulty and
some of the expense Of the work of
Wiping out the tick in the southern
tier Of Georgia counties has been on
account of the ticks unrestricted ac-
tivities over the line. If Florida will
begin fighting the little pest in the
states most northerly limits it won't
be difficult for the neighboring Geor-
gia counties to give protection to
Florida's efforts
Florida, Of course, is not being
called upon to fight the tick for
Georgia's sake. For her own sake a
vigorous campaign should be launched.
which happily will reflect itself in
Georgia, although it is not even nee
essary for the Legislature to bear this
fact in mind. However, if the tables
were turned Florida would have cause
to protest at the negligence of Geor-
gia, and the spirit with which the
state on the north regards Florida's
activities along this line is friendly in
the extreme"
The whole South is vitality inter-
ested in tick eradication, because
practically the whole South If affect
ed. There is no reason why Florida
should not keep apace of the times, or
better, set the pace, instead of trail
ing. AS a cattle raising state, Geor-
gia or any other state east of the
Mississippi cannot compare with
Florida in it's resources and possibiJi-
ties. Certainly it is time Florida was
awakening to this highly important
detail of the industry.-Tampa Times

removed from my town some years
ago, and it is long since met him or
heard of him. Tomorrow I shall stand
beside his coffin and speak words of
comfort to his family and friends. One

Some years ago 1 travelled in PaIes-

bic D. Babcock an American minister,
had contracted typhoid fever in Pales-s
tine and had died. When I left the
ship at Haifa, found some cases OF
American bottled water delivered with
me. With them was a note saying that
the supply was counted so that, in
Guiding an allowance for breakage,
there were four quart bottles for each
day Of my pilgrimage.
I hired a donkey for the equivalent
of s2.40 for the whole overland trip,
and he transported the water. For SIS

For that matter, could have offered
to buy the water, though I probably
should not have done so.
This man, kind Of heart and gener-

THE ANNEXATION PROBLEM.

l am an Albanian by birth and
training, but 1 came to Florida partly
because of the name-Florida.
There are only two things that !
can think of to be gained by hitching
on to Alabama.
First, we would inherit her compuI-
sorry cattle dipping laws, which have
been enforced and are being enforced
so rigidly that there remains only
territory in the state, while here in
Florida we have yet $4,000 square
miles of tick infested territory.
Secondly, we would inherit Ala
bama's county option no fence laws
and would save our legislature of the
trouble of passing such a law. OF
course, these good laws that Alabama
has we can have here in Florida if
we can get some legislator with suf
ficient judicial sense to frame a law
that is constitutional and so wordeG
that it can have but one interpreta-
ton, Unfortunately, we have some
lawyer legislators who get laws passed
and then within a few months they are
in court with plea that the law of
their own making is unconstitutional.
But, we will learn to quit sending
such men to the legislature. To me it
seems like folly to talk of giving up
our name, that means so much TO us
and the tourist as well. The fact is, 1t
will not be done. SCRIBUS.

PICKING A CAREER
FOR YOUR BOY

Have you a boy. whose school days
are nearing their close? In a couple
of months he will go forth to make his
own way. What will be his first job
and where will he end? 1t is a prob
lem not to be left entirely to the boy.
| The boy stands at the cross roads
from which radiate many paths. Some
| of these paths are smooth but, like
blind alleys, lead nowhere. Others look
rough and are cluttered with obstacles
but they may lead to financial indie
| pendence and happiness.
Left to him, the boy is apt to choose
| the easier road. Others have done
that--and, too late, found that they
followed a blind trail. Aimless, weary
of hunting a way out, they settle in
the rut beside the road.
Instinct tells many boys what they
! should do in life. If your boy has his
heart set on q certain line OF work and
| appears to have ability to make a sue
cess of it, let him follow his inclina-
tons. But take that boy and, chum-
| fashion, discuss with him the possibiIi-
| ties or impossibilities of the work he
prefers. also what his probable rate
of advancement will be.
Any man can attain success if he
! has a definite goal.
The lad who has no goal. who starts
drifting, is apt to be drifter all his
| life.
! The experience and training that
your boy will get on his first job is the
important thing. His pay at the be-
ginning doesn't make much difference.
What 'can you do?" asked the en-
ployer.
"Almast anything" replied the Jack
of -au-trades and -master-of-none. He
didn't get the job.
See that your boy starts life with
definite goal. Don't let him grow up
to be a edo most anything man.

HIGH SCHOOL DRoNEs.

William Dean Lewis, deputy state
superintendent of schools of Pennsyl-
vania, speaking in Philadelphia the
other day, said that killing time in
high schools is murder in the first de-
gree" for which pupils should be SEN
fenced to seek other fields" Educa-
tors are becoming more and more con-
cerned over the inefficiency that is
manifested by pupils in the higher
grades Of the public schools. Many
graduates of high schools, although
able to pass the tests necessary to oh
tain diplomas, are untitled for engage
ing in any practical work of life.
One of the chief assets of a high
school education is instruction in
methods of thought, the acquisition of
the ability to make use of the knowl-
edge that has been obtained in the
textbooks. When Mr.. Lewis refers to
killing time in the schools as being
murder in the first degree" he has in
mind the death of the things that
should be acquired during one Of the
most valuable periods in the life of the
young man or young woman; the per-
iod when the foundation for future
usefulness should be laid deep and
broad, through the training of the
mental powers along practical lines.
When boys and girls reach the high
school age many of them are imbued
with the idea that they are justified
in getting through that period of in
struction as easily as possible. They
become drones in the hive Of intellec-
tual activity, and although they are
able to get passing marks in order to
complete the work, they have failed to
grasp the essentials of the training
that has been provided for them.
