He has his share of sentiment, and doubtless he got some fine inspirations amid associa- tions so sacred. And there is some- thing in the mother love of old Vir- ginia herself to her true and loyal sons which has an almost human quality in it. ——C Moosers were by no The tariff revisionists at the next gession of Congress will do well not | to give any downward revision to | the import duty of one cent a pound on citrus fruits provided by the preseny tariff.

Mr. Allen ge-| 1. Roberts, late of Jacksonville, has been appointed to this place. He has been a newspaper man, and as the Fort Myers Press very truly ob- serves, few men would be success- fal at such work without prelimin- ary experience in a newspaper of- fice. It is a kind of training school for them. 0 A LITTLE NONSENSE NO V AND THEN Still Het Up. Apropos of the recent resolution of the Bible students convention in Washington repudiating the doc- trine of a literal *“*hell fire,” relates the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Dr. Phillip Hale Curtin, of Wheeling, said to a reporter: “Hell fire is rarvely mentioned any Lore except in jest - except, for ex- ample, as in the Dhody-snatehing story, A doctor, according to the story. suw, Iite one night, a fine automo- | Hile halted outside a cemetery. e Lid behind a tree, for he suspected | that body-snatchers were at work; and sure enough, in a few minutes he saw two hody-snatchers stagger from the cemetery carrying a hody. They placed it upright in the auto- mobile, as thoigh it were alive, propping it securely in the back seat and then they hurried back to the cemetery to fill the violated grave again. “The doctor in their absence lift- ed the body out of the automobile, hid it under a hedge, and took its place himself, “Soon the scoundrels returned. One scated himself at the wheel, and the other seated himself in the back seat, beside the body, so as to sup- port it. Then, in the darkness, they glided off, “After a while the man in the rear seat said in a rather awed tone: “‘This body seems mighty warm for a corpse.’ “The chauffeur reached back his hand and touched it. *“*Don’t it, though!" he muttered hetween perplexity and fear, “Then the corpse, in deep, sepul- chral tones exclaimed: “‘Warm? Of course I'm warm! And if you had been where I've been for the last two days, you'd be varm, too!’ “With loud yells of horror the hody-snatchers leaped from the au- tomobile and fled. The doctor scized the wheel and drove it home. He has the car, they say, still.” 1 ?

There is, liowever, good fishing in any of the izkes and the small boys catch some sood strings out of Lake Wire, just adjoining the school grounds. So far I have not had time to try my luck fishing but I have seen some fine catches of ‘“‘the kind you read about.” 1 intend trying my luck soon and if the big ones dong all get away, 1 may be able to tell some good fish stories myself. There are three lakes, Mirror, Wire and Morton, at a distance of two, three and four squares from Munn park, the center of the city. A couple of weeks ago an eight-foot “Gator” came up out of Lake Mir- ror into the lot back of one of our livery stables and 1 was lucky enough to see the capture. This was an unusual occurrence for the small lakes here in town are not supposed to contain any of the “Big Bugs” and it is thought that. this one strayed into the lake and was either lost or hunting a place for a nest | when discovered.
