Petersburg, came here in wheel
chair last January, later was able
to shift to crutehes, and lately
has been walking on his own two
good feet, according to A. Pop"
Allen, a physical culture instruc-
tor, who supervises Stuart's ex-
ercising.
When asked why Stuart came
to Key West from the nearby city
of st. Petersburg, Mr.. Allen re-
piled that it is so much warmer
here that it permits him to swim
and exercise much more, an i'm
portant treatment for those who
suffer with arthritis. Also such
patients are very susceptible to
cold, and here there is an oppor-
tunity to escape it. The benefit

WHO CAME HERE In
WHEEL CHAIR, NOW WALKS

AS a further proof of the re-
Operative qualities of Key West
sunshine, Mr.. Allen added that
Stuart was able to swim at most
ten yards, but that he easily swims
two hundred yards now, and it is
believed he is capable of going a
mile.
1t has been six years since Har-
din contracted arthritis, which is
a rheumatic affliction, and in that
time he has been able to walk only
once before, which was in Miami,
but an unsuccessful operation
caused a relapse, and it became
necessary to look for an even
more beneficial climate. Key
West was chosen, and results have
been far beyond what was ex-
pected.
: Hardin lives at 1405 Petronia
street with Mr.. Allen, wife and
family, and will remain here
throughout the winter season, at
least.

NOVEMBER PROVES
GOOD MONTH FOR
STATE LICENSES
REPORTS FROM MOTOR VEIL
GLE COMMISSIONER SHOW
THAT MANY AUTOMOBILE
TAGS HAVE BEEN SOLD

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. &c. -
(FNS) One would naturally think
that November would be slack
time in the Motor Vehicle De-
partment. New licenses do not
go on sale until December first,
all the old ears should have
licenses, and that is the time of
the year when Pop is still wonder
ing whether he had better trade
in the old bus for shiny new one
with all the latest gadgets as Nom
and the kids want him to do.
But figures released last week
by d. w. Finley, motor vehicle
commissioner, show that even No
vember is a revenue producer in
this department. For the first
fifteen days of November of this
year, 3,445 tags were sold bring
ing the sum of $21, 457.37 into the
state treasury; an increase of l.
ZIG in tag sales and an increase
of $6,2S6.73 in revenue over the
corresponding fifteen days of
last year.
Title registrations for the first
fifteen days of this month also
showed an increase over the same
period of 1886, with 1866 title
registrations for the first half of
November this year compared with
3,S45 in the same period of last
year.
Commissioner Finley says that
there are several reasons for tag
sales this late in the year and
just before the new tags go on
sale December first. Some of
them represent new cars pur-
chased, some are bought by PEG.
pie coming into the state and get
ting jobs, a few represent the
purchase of old cars which had
no licenses and some are the re-
suit Of officers checking up on
the use for hire of cars having
licenses for private use and fore
ing the owners to buy proper
tags.
The increase in the number of
tags sold and the increase in
revenue over the similar period
of last year, is attributed by Fin
ley partly to the increase in the
buying power of the public be-
cause of better business condi-
tions, but a considerable portion
of it, he states, is due to the
more thorough cheek-up being
made this year by departmental
agents on people coming into the
state and securing employment
and on those who have been using
cars with private licenses for pub
lie hire.

1t is believed that the vessel

AT Dry Tortugas, SO miles west

not be the vessel referred to in

schooner and distinctly not a
