RSN TR Heard a man say yesterday that nobody the name of whose calling be. gan with the letter P was worth a darn. To prove his contention he enumerated printers, painters, plas- terers and preachers. \What say you all, gentlemen? A I e R O A Lakeland man put a twenty-five- cent advertisement for a wife in the paper and has received thirty-seven replies up to date. Way go unmar- ried when you can secure your cheice of helpmecis at a cost of only twenty-five thirty-sevenths of a cent? Really, isn't advertising the cheapest and greatest invention of modern times? B SRR SR We wonder it poor folks who g0 to the penitentiary don't get sick sometimes, and feel that a pardon would help them some. We suppose not, as we never hear of it. Fellows like Banker Morse, however, must be let off and sent to Hot Springs or Baden-Baden, it they happen to have the stomachache or their corns hurt. We're not begrudging old man Morse his freedom, but we've got a lot of friends up in the Federal peniten- tiary who never did anything worse than make a little home-brewed whiskey in the cave down by the gugar-tree spring. We know some of them have the rheumatiz thig damp, cold weather, and they're longing for some home treatment. Unfortn- . o ! rately, however, they're of the class the law is made for, and executive clemency which ¢ its beniznant rays upon the big offender will never penetrate the gloom of their cells. HIS LAST AND BEST WORK. The entering ¢f the first train into the city of Key \West makes this one of the greatest days in the history ot; Florida, and marks the successful culmination of one of the most mar- velous feats ol cngineering ever at- tempted in modern times. Yesterday the pilo¢ train reached Key West, crossing successfully the great spans of concrete masonry and finding the rcadway in perfect con- dition for traffic. passenger train enters the city, car- rying Congressmen, Senators and Ambassadors and dignitaries of for- Today the first has for ouce converted these condi- tions into a benefaction to the race. On this day of the succeszful com- pletion of the crowuing effort of a life of achievement, we tender con- -ratulations to the man who made a reality of what was generally consid- ered an idle dream. We are glad tht Henry M. Flagler has lived to see this day-——when, passing through the fair and smiling land which was a wilderness before his capital en- tered it, he can have the satisfaction of traversing the great highway of stone and steel with which he has girdled the hitherto trackless sea— can see that his work is done and thag it is good, A great day for Flagler; a grea: day for Key \West; a great day for Florida; a great day for the world.
