A REQUEST MADGE COULD
NOT EvADE

For minutes that seemed hours,
hours that dragged intcrminably like
days, our train moved few inches
ut tln,c, stopped discouraglngly, and
repeated tho performance until at last
when my nerves at least, and, think,
those Of everybody else in the car, were
frssaled to the last degree Of endur-
nnc~ we finally pulled into the station
in New York City.
My agitation had not been soothed, in
stead II had been augmented 10y the
presence OF the mysterious foreigner in
the next seat, who claimed to be n
friend Of my fathers, and who showed
40 comprehensive knowledge Of my af-
fairs.
To do him justice, from the moment |
had checked his references to the kid
mapping Of Junior, he had made no more
personal illusions. and had really re-
leved the tcdium of our long wait by
dcsultory talk which sometimes ran
along tho level OF commonplace, and
1T times assembled TO something akin to
br,lhance. But all the time, like a swift
undcrcurrent to my own talk, ran my
furtive scrutiny of the man, my specu-
lation "a TO his real identity.
The Stranger Persists.
For by this time. Il had definitely made
up my mind that he was an American
masqucrading rs a foreigner for some
purpose of his own. This purpose
guessed WAS connected with my fathers
government work. That in some way he
had known of my presence on the tram,
and had joined me deliberately, | was
sure. My common sense pointed out the
sbsurdity Of this theory, but a queer
little psychic intuition which | have
learned to heed in the past insisted
upon it's essential truth.
This same psychic intuition also in
sisted upon something else the convic-
ton that behind the Disgusting VAN

hanished this thought as altogether too
melodramatic 10 be worthy second
consideration.
OF one thing. however, | was sure
that | must clude him at the static n,
should he give any indication of fol-
lowing me. There had been an excuse
for his attentions on the stalled train,
but there could he no possible excuse
fog his continuing his exaggerated cour-
tcsy. Yet there were distinct signs that
he meant at least to see me safely To
the station, something could scarcely
prevent without absolute chuilishness.
Just before the train halted finally at
the station platform he rose with n
grandiose bow. went 10 his own chair.

VITAL ISSUE is AT
STAKE FEBRUARY Is.

One week from tomorrow the free
holders of Putnam county will vote
whether or not the county school
board shall be empowered to issue
$4,000 worth of 6 per cent time
warrants for a period of thirty years
a t6 per cent, the proceeds from the
sale of which shall be used for the
construction of county high school
building at Palatka, and county
high school building at Crescent City
Evidence that there is a very gen.
eral misunderstanding all over the
county as to the reason and neces-
sity for the issuance of the warrants
is to be found in every community
and precinct. This misunderstand-
ing, i tbs feared, will very seriously
endanger tn esuccess of the endeav-
or to provide sufficient school facil-
tiles, very large number of peo-
pie having no knowledge of the pur-
pose to hold an election, and some
venturing that it was scheme to
put over a bond issue without letting
the taxpayers know anything
about it.
At the eleventh hour, however an
effort is being made to reach every
voter in the county with the real
facts in the case, and it is hoped
that these can be so established in
the mind of everyone that the issu,
ance of the warrants will be voted as
nearly unanimously as such issues
are ever voted.
At present Putnam county has NJ
high school, nor has it a school o.
any kind in Palatka. The school re
Gently completed here was at the ex
pense of the Palatka district. 1t ha

TAMPA MAN IS
ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER TANLAC
W. S. TealI Says 1t Certainly Lived
Up to Its Reputation in Wife's
Ease
Dyspepsia Entirely Overcome and
She Feels Better Than in Years.

"Tanlac certainly lived up to its
/ g reputation in my wife's case and
l am convinced of it's wonderful mer-
it." said VIM. S. Teall, 1872 Hyde
Park Ave-, Tampa, Fla.
Il had known of Tanlac for some
time, as l was in Knoxville when it
was first introduced there and knew
personally of many remarkable in
stances of benefits received by those
who had taken it. When my wife
began to complain of feeling run
down and digestion was bad, imme-
diately thought of Tanlac.
ST can say that Tanlac did even
more than l expected, for she is just
Ike a different person now in every
way. She looks many years younger
and tells me that she never felt bet
ter in her life"

been used by the entire county
however, for high school until now
the capacity is taxed beyond comfort,
to say nothing of convenience, and
with an increased attendance certain
for the next term those who have
been attending the high school here
from other than the Palatka district,
which means the entire county out
side of Palatka, will be, of necessity,
denied admission here.
nj other words, the school to be
built in Palatka is to take care of
the abnormal increase in school at
tendance, and without it the county
will be put to as much or more eX-
pense than the interest on the time
warrants would be in providing
whatever quarters can be rented and
put in shape for school purposes.
At Crescent City the school build
ing is not only too small, but is in
such condition, it is said, that it is
practically impossible to repair it to
meet the needs of the school. A very
large number of children, not in the
Crescent City district, have been adj
mitted to the Crescent City school,
but unless something is done to in
crease the facilities there they will
have to be denied, and the various
districts have no money with which
t oconstruct schools, nor has the
county a fund available.
The rapid growt hof any county al
ways entails necessity for drawing
on posterity for permanent improve
ments, as the immediate demand ex-
ceeds in its insistence, the imme-
diately available revenues. There
has never been system established
a growing community could
keep its revenues apace with its eX-
and it is such an instance
that faces the school situation in
Putnam county.
The county owns the handsome lot
on Oak between Seventh and Eighth
streets, and nowhere else in the
county could a high school building
be constructed at such small cost.
The one it is proposed to build will,
it is believed be adequate as coun-
ty high school building for the next
ten years, at least, unless the coun-
tvs growth is much more rapid than
it is at present.

WHAT THE SEASON BROUGHT
TO OUR MERCHANTS

y.
We have talked with about ali OF
the Holyoke merchants and one and
all are more than pleased with the un.
usual amount Of business done by
each and everyone. The only com.
plaint we heard was from a few who
thought they were worked too hard.
we heard q lot Of pessimistic talk a
month ago when we talked adyertis.
ing to most OF our merchants but al.
most every one went after the Christ
mas business in the. right way, by
telling the people through the home
papers what they had and when the
people went after what they wanted
or merchants had the goods. Good.
The thing to do is get the goods then
tell the public through the. columns
what you have-that is what brings
the business.
We did fairly we'll ourselves for
which we wish to thank our many
patrons and friends. and the Herald
force wishes our patrons and friends
a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
