SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The practical joker who ‘periodically sells the Statue of Liberty, the Empire building and other objects of art to un- sophisticated customers recently. sald the historic Plymouth Rock to a New York dealer in antiques. The buyer sent a truck- man to obtain his latest treasure, but when a derrick was being rigged for its removal a limh of the law intervene: and stopped the proceedings. How very much alike tins may be in actions as well as looks was illustrated by Herbert and Albert Jackson of Chicago. Both got married five years ago; both de- serted their wives a year ago; both mar- vied again without being divarced a few “weeks ago; both were arrested for bigamy a few days ago. moderate toll was taken by the law Mrs. Margaret Johnson, 17, of Richmond, Ind., was fined $15° for crap shooting. She had won $235, so had a net profit.ef $220 as a result of her investment in the galloping dominoes. Dorothy Dell of New York is‘a little show girl who is closely -chaperoned by her , in order that she may not fall demoralizing influences: which beset young women of the stage. Incidentally, Miss Dell’s most striking song hit contained the line: “Was I drunk; was he handsome; did my mother give me hell?” Asserting that cannibals will not eat a@ man who has used tohacco, a reformer asks if that is not a potent argument against the “filthy weed.” It would seem to be a potent argument for the habit if one inclined to mix in cannibal so- weal "hard to reouily made tora notes agency: itegatding the eat, standing of a certain merchant, concerning which the reporting cor- Yespondent wrote: ‘Credit O. “K.; _ has been out of business some time; also dead.” It is unfortunate to lose a limb, but fortunate that it can not be amputated but once, as James Bath of Bangor, Me., can testify. In crossing a railroad track he mis- judged the speed of a passenger train, which threw him for no gain and neatly clipped off the end of his wooden leg. Getting the wrong telephone number is not unusual, although not so common as jokesmiths would have us believe, But a London telephone girl had occasion to say “Excuse it please” with unusual humility when she connected a subseriber with Chile instead of Argentina. It is thought to be the first case of giving a patron the wrong country. Mrs. William W. Farman of New Haven, Cenn,, after being a widow a year, married Vincenzo Ardernghi. Her former and present husbands present these con- trasts? Farman was treasurer of Yale and 85 years old at his death. Ardenghi was her Italian chauffeur and was 28 at the time of his marriage, while she was 43. CINCHING A JOB A; few years ago, at the age of 79, Thomas F. Ryan died, worth many millions of dollars. In the meantime he had given away a lot of money also. But, so far as the main facts of his life are concerned, they do not differ greatly from those of other poor boys who have risen to wealth and power. A little story is told, however, which may give some insight into the manner in which young Ryan got his stort toward great riches. His first job was with a Balti- more dry goods store, where he was hired for $8 a week and told to report for work the next morning. Now, he was in earnest about that job and didn’t want to take any chances on letting it get away from him, so he said to the boss: “If you don’t mind, Yl start right now without any pay for to- day.” Needless to say he made good on that job, and two years later, at the age of 19, he obtained employment in Wall Street. At the age of 23 he became a member of the New York Stock Exchange, from which time his rise in the financial, world was rapid and he became one of America’s richest men. J Doubtless his remarkable success was due to the spirit which he displayed in cinching his first job—his willingness to “start right now.” A good many boys of today might emulate that spirit with pro-. tit to themselves, -, “THE QUALITY OF MERCY” (Tampa Tribune) We glance over the record of the pro- ceedings of the State Pardon Board and note a number of instances of extreme clemency. C. W. Hodge, Lee, second degree murder, sentence 20 years, served seven, conditional pardon. Frank Hodges, criminal assault, sentence life, served six years, can- ditional pardon. D. R. Grantham, robbery, 10 years, paroled. Dennis H. Smith, Union, second degree murder, 20 years, served two, ‘conditional pardon, Arch Burnett, Suwannee, murder, life, served two years, paroled. Jake Butler Marion, murder, life, served six years, conditional pardon. James Randolph, Hillsborough, murder, death, later commuted to life, served seven years, commuted to eight. John J. Lamb, Manatee, murder, life, served eight years, conditional pardon. H. H, Flaming, Taylor, killing a child, five years, served two, condi- tional pardon.

He is one of the greatest public speakers in, the state and a large crowd is ex-+ pected to be at Bayview Park to hear him.

We cannot avoid a comparison of the cases of Flaming, who killed.a child, and Fernandez, who stole a cow.

NEW CHICKEN BREEDS New breeds of chickens, larger and more productive as layers than ahy now in existence, are believed to be possible of de- velopment through the agency of X-rays, as a result of experiments by Dr. Diffen- bach of New York. Among the phenomena from exposing Plymouth. Rock eggs to X-rays before hatching it was observed that nearly every chick was a female. When the eggs were exposed to the rays for a longer period many surprising freaks were hatched. _While all were healthy, resulting | centered on the race for sheriff.} There are two candidates in the field and it is expected that Clem-; ents Jaycocks will enter the race within @ few days.
