Z ee THE BEST CITY 3 + 4b he anes § Fi co. < i Tfire are some’ folks so constituted, that if put them into the highest class city or town America, they would look at its institutions and privileges ina despairing sort of way. They would constantly remarking” that if they could have deir : way they would go elsewhere, but they stay on there because they are forced to having a job or business there. And there are some, who if placed in any old inary town, where there is nothing out of the ,and no exceptional ‘advantages, will yet fove it and say it is the best town on earth. They Will be such loyal friends and good neighbors, that they will attract the affection of all people they feet. They will feel such deep attachment to a Gpmmunity where these ties exist, that it will seem fhe best place on earth. And so it will be for them. + This admirable spirit is notably* predominant in Key West, aud no city can have too many of ype of Reople. | ie= BLOOD TEST FOR CANCER a eal _ ~ week it was announced by no less an tity that Dr. H. M. Mitchell, senior surgeon e. Liverpool Cancer Hospital, that a method ing canter by blood tests had been discov- } “The new method is the result of researches by a German scientist, whose name has not yet peen made public, according to Dr. Mitchell, who peems confident, however, that the discovery marks * very important advance in medical science. He predicts that it will enable doctors to de- cancerous conditions before the malignant growths have actually developed, thus making pre- Wentative treatment possible through means Biready being employed with considerable success. ? “While mahy reported discoveries in the past pave only served to raise false hopes in the minds er Sufferers and their families, it seems that soon- ‘er or later an effective mthod of controlling this most dreaded malady must be found, ‘ It is at least encouraging to know that many ‘of the ablest investigators in the world are de- Seting their best thought and labors to the baffling ti thins od’ “Coustesy. Week” in Key ‘West .was distinctly successfu}—and that is saying = great deal, con- sidering the {pct that people-in this city ate the most courteoys in the world at all times. But it is well for people occasionally to make unusual ef- forts to be polite and obliging for certain’ periods of time. It njgy attract those who consider courtesy lightly to its beauties and the pleasure that it Courtesy is the greatest, the most’ valuable thing known, yet it costs ‘absolutely: ‘nothing. Courtesy always pays when. practiced ‘sincerely. At the same time it is wonderfully helpful to society, for it creates gn atmosphere that refites-those less careful ‘in thejr demeanor and ‘manvérs. Let up have more courtesy weeks, more courtesy months, more courtesy:. years, -. until ccurtesy b¢comes a real characteristic of: the race, and until ‘pong will be deceptive in its practice. TALE OF AN ELEPHANT ‘ Sympathetic souls who have worried over. the impending fate of Tex, the circus elephant, may now breathe easier, for he is not going, to be kill- ed at all. Ever since @ press dispatch announced that an elephant attached to a circus in Arkansas had been condemned to death by electrotation, after killing several trainers, the ynustial story’has’ been widely published and coi ted..upon... Pictures Of the animal on an imagined death: platform with wires leading to his ponderous head and legs were also shown. Tex became almost as famous a crim- inal as Gerald Chapman. 7 The humane societies and periodicals began to protest against the manner of His proposed ex: cution, pointing out* that a horrible mess might bé made of it and the animal thus cruglly,tortured. After all the agitation, ‘President; Horton:.of the “| American Humane Association has received ‘a tel- egram from a representative of that organization, who investigated the case, which reads: “Killing of elephant. story is, an-- eietiling: scheme: Wherever they take him ‘they announce his viciousness and necessity for Killing: him, sole- ly to attract crowds. Animal is’ ‘not dangerous and is well cated fot.” 4 We are glad to know this, To. tell the truth, we have worrled somewhat about’ Tex “oarselves.

(Portland Journal)‘ + Another man has been in a maniacal rage with a npvolver. He was a California man. Faced with a divorcerfrom his wife, he ran amuck. As has so frequently been the case lately, the Teady gun was at his elbow. * He went to & ranch and shot his wife to death. He shot his wife's sister to death. He returned to town and ~ a attorney’s wife to death. Rye He hopped into an wicks. went to an- other town, and shot a-farmer, his wife’and daugh- ter to death. Pursued by officers in a wild 1 ht through a hail of bullets, he finally shot himself’ to death as his car plunged over an embankment. Tt was a bloody trail. Starting at a ranch house in one county, the trail extended, through others, with the man, who had becbimea maniac with a gun, the central figure in the cireus of blood.
