Ps Irving was born in 1783, and in his boyhood gave little indication of the great talents which he. afterwards employed with such marked success. Infact, it is recorded that while his two brothers were permitted to enter college, he was not con- sidered promising enough to warrant the expense of’ such a course. | 2 He dees not appear to have been particularly industrious, but spent much time in excursions along the Hudson and in general reading, although he studied in a law office and was finally admitted te the bar. He traveled in Europe for two years, | his observations combined with his already ac- quired knowledge of American lore giving him a rich pre of material for his literary work After some early writing with rather indif- ferent success, his “History of New York by Die drick Knickerbocker” appeared in 1809 and placed hm iti the position of the first American to win in- ternational fame solely as a man of letters, its quaint humor and felicitous style winning instant acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. His subsequent works were almost uniform- ly suecessful and covered a wide range, including | history and biography, as well as many unusual \ tales of rare charm. The death of Matilda Hoff- man, a sweetheart of Irving's youth, cast a shadow over his life and he never married. He died at the age of 76. It is gratifying to know that the memory of Washington Irving, known as the “father of Am- eriean literature,” is to be further honored by suitable memorials of a permanent nature. each month with the CANNOT SEE THROUGH IT (Miami Herald) There is a very general impression that it is the intention of the state road board to hold up the‘ completion of the line of the Tamiami Trail that extends from Miami through Monroe county until the Collier county line can be finished, a mat- | ter, so we are told, of three and a half years. Perhaps we are obtuse, but really The Herald cannot understand why it would not be good polic THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Fat Chance of Catching Anything Now SCOOSCOOSOOSSOSOOOOOSOOSOOOOE DOO OS OOSOSOTOSEOTOOLOOSESOSEEES ODZEN2990CCE8S on the part of the board to finish that part of the | Trail in Dade county that remains uncompleted, | and which would then extend to the Monroe county line, and at the same time finish the road from | the west end of the Monroe county line to where | it will eventually connect with the Collier county | road.

But this could be done at a comparatively small cost and the work could be finished by the first of next November.

Just what are the intentions of the road board if difficult to fathom, as expressed in the agree- ments which that body has presented to the county commissions of the counties involved, and which have not received the approval of the boards. z Requests. for information several as to the actual meanings of the various agreements submitted have received only ambiguous and unsatisfactory replies, and there is*much doubt as to the real intentions | of the state board, for which those interested see | no good reason, The people of Dade county want to see a road that can be used pushed through to the “west side of the state as early as possible.

DEATH OF OSCAR STRAUS When Lazarus and Sara Straus, an humble | Jewish couple, migrated from Rhenish Bavaria to | Georgia in 1854, they brought with them three young sons, Isidor, Nathan and Oscar, all of whom rose to high prominence in American affairs.

DAILY LESSONS IN ENGLISH By W. L. GORDON to Turkey from 1887 to 1889, and again from 1898 | to 1901; was ambassador to Turkey in 1909 and 1910. He also served as Secretary of Commerce and Labor in the cabinet of President Roosevelt; | served as member’ of the permanent court of arbi- tration at The Hague under Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, and held other important posi- tions of national and international scope. Mr. Straus was the first man of Jewish birth | to hold a cabinet position in the United States, and was a firm advocate of racial and religious toler. ance. He wrote several excellent volumes, on the origin and significance of American institutions. His two brothers became famous and philanthropists, Isidor having peris merchants ed in the sinking of the Titanic, while Nathan is still living. Probably no finer contribution has ever been made to American citizenship by a single family of foreign birth than that of Lazarus and Sara Straus, who gave these three splendid sons to the service of their adopted country.
