A few more boards, commissions, etc., such as the Lezislature in its LAND OF CONTENTMENT | They are coming from the deserts | where to al of a feast, where the farms are made of gravel, and they plow with ' dynamite, where the festive chattel mortgage sings its dirzes day and night; they are coming in their wagons, they are coming on the train, they are coming from the re- gions where they struggled long in vain; they are coming from thehall; they are coming to old Florida where there’s plenty for them all. Where you needn’t dig potatoes with a sabre or a dirk, where, when rain is badly needed, then the rain gets in its work; where the rivers moan and murmur on their journey to the sea, where the breezes tackle corn stalks, big as fence posts, on the lea, where the savage lately wan- dered in his search for human hair, where his hoarse and howling war cry floated on the summer air; where a hundred braves would an- swer to the chieftain’s battle call, they are coming to old Florida, where there's plenty for them all. l Where the savaze used to wznder,I building shell mounds in the air, wisdom is creating, will help some to increase the cost. o Let us be in position to say: “‘Dear tourist or vizitor, when you reach Florida you will find ’'steen Dixie Highways. Try all of them if you like, but we believe you will like . best the one that brings you through * our particular section.” —0 The trouble about some of these sheriffs who have been cruelly ac- cused of tolerating gambling in their bailiwicks, is that when the poor innocent dears saw some men playinz cards they thought they were just looking over the picture prizes they had won at Sunday school. gl If Albert Williamson will impart to his brethren of the press his re- cipe for securing legal advertise- ments, he will confer a greater bene- faction upon humanity than he ever could by going to Congress. Albert's paper assays about thusly: Legal ad- vertisements, 95 per cent; editorials, 5 per cent; news, trace. PN The Miami Metropolis sweetly gives the State press permission to use the terms ‘‘baccalaureate mons” and “professors” in referring to the commencement exercises of the two State institutions of learn- ing.

A “SILENT SINGER” PASSES AWAY : The verses, ‘‘Opportunity,” writ- ten by Walter Malone in answer to the famous lines of Ingalls, of Kan- sas, made an instant impression up- on those who read them, and, follow- ed by “‘De Soto,” a dramatic poem of beauty and ppwer announced the arrival of a real poet. wih sadness and regret that we find under a Memphis date line the fol- lowing: ‘Judge Walter Malone, since 1905 on the Second Circuit Court' bench and an author and a poet, was found dead in his room in a hotel here today, havine suffered a stroke of apoplexy.” Judge Ma- |lone was but forty-eight years of ser- . age. He was born in De Soto coun- ty, Mississippi, and graduated from the University of that state. He never married. Not long before his death he penned for himself the fol- lowing as his epitaph: call down. That's 5 mighty nice little plan proposed in the item that has been going the rounds of the press in which it is suggested that every fel- low who wants to drink make his wife his saloonkeeper. He buys a gallon of whisky for $2 and then buys it from his wife at 15 cents a drink—thus carrying out the trade- at-home idea and keeping the money strictly in the family. He'll have to furnish her half-pint flasks, though, if he doesn’t want her to violate the Davis law. Dear reader, when the haughty colored man who has been strictly invisible throughout your trip comes around just before you leave thé train and, with a far-off look in his dark eyes, condescends to take your quarter, rejoice and be glad, because You are contributing to the ‘“‘uplift.” One of the main gazabos of the Pull- man company deposed before an in- vestizating committee that “the nncl element in the uplift of the colored race was its service with the Pull- man company.” The company, with a benevolence that is noble and touching, furnishes a change of scenery as you ride along; for every- thing else—including the uplift—it allows you to pay two prices. We doubt if any single poem ever contained more inspiration or brought courage and renewed hope to more weary wayfarers on life's journey: than did the verses “Oppor- tunity,” written by Walter Malone in answer to John J. Ingalls’ less optimistic production ent the same subject. It is thérefore with feelings of genuine regret that all readers of this splendid poem will learn of the death of the author, which occurred recently in a Mem- phis hotel, following a stroke of apo- plexy. Because of the unusual mer- it and inspiring character of this poem it has been published more than once in the Evening Telegzram —the last time in its issue of last Saturday. PR E" Speaker that he will not become a candidate for attorney-general against the in. cumbent, Hon. T. F. West. He has acquitted himself splendidly as speaker of the House, and will be the recipient of the handsomest silver service ever presented by the repre- sentatives. He will take his hon- org, he good will of the House, and his beautiful token of appreciation, and go back to business life, for the present at least. We'd like to help him christen that service, and when- ever he gives the word we'll hum the ditty, “Cary put the kettle on, and w:ll al have tea.” | Cary Hardee announces “Stranger who passeth low house of clay, Pause for a moment in a tender mood; Think not your sigh of pity thrown away, Because 1'd say, ‘God Bless you’ it 1 could.” my In Judge Walter Malone another of the “silent singers” passes un- known of the madding crowd and unmarked of destiny from the scenes of this life. The Courier-Journal had not the honor of his personal acquaintance but it feels a sense’ of personal bereavement in his going and tenders its sympathy and sor- row to the community which did know and must have loved him. —~Courier-Journal._ | —— ' GRAPEFRUIT JUICE BISCUIT Leesburg Commercial—The latest is the grapefruit juice biscuit. Some- where we read about grapefruit juice ’tnklng the place of buttermilk or clabber in making waffles and bis- cuits. It said to use two-thirds as much clear juice as you had been lusing of buttermilk. Not being an iartist in the line of biscuit making —at least we reckon we are not, for we have never tried—we carried the information as a choice morsel {to our wife. She laughed. Now if [any good lady who chances to read this will take a chance sometime when the men folk are all gone, and see if this little theory works out, and if it does, write us about it, we will gladly publish the recipe and make her famous. 'If it fails—we’ll all keep still. NOT A QUESTION OF LOOKS. The Kissimmee Audubon So- ciety rises in defense of the buz- zard. It say is the first and oldest of IF sanitary offi- cers.

It is because women are so | much better than men that their faults are considered greater. The one thing in this world that’s con- stant, the peak that rises above the | light burns forever, the one star that the darkness cannot quench, is wom- an’s love. It rises to the greatest heights, it sinks to the lowest depths, it forgives the most cruel in- juries. A woman’s love is the per- fume of the earth. This is the real love that subdues the earth; the love that has wrought all miracles of art; that gives us music all the way from the cradle song to the grand closing symphony that bears soul away on wings of fire. A love that is greater than power, sweeter than life and stronger than death.

THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES There are but two classes of mer- chants—those who advertise, and those who do not. The man who advertises has the best of the deal. He keeps his wares before the public he keeps his wars before the pubile —and he keeps their quality upper- most in the public mind. People talk about a man who advertises, because they: know he has something worth advertising-—or he wouldn’t advertise. L. H. Stanton recently won asprize from Lippincott’s magazine offered | for the best and shortest story. The | main point, in making awards, was brevity but there also had to be something to the story.

It was just this: “‘Giggle, gabble, gobble and git.” WE NEVER DID You may learn the art gymnastic, Master every turn fantastic, Till your muscles are as ‘plastic As an eel; You may execute a flipflop, From a high trapeze or housetop, With an airy zrace that makes lolksl stop ‘And squeal; But with all your long devotion To the poetry of motion, Have you even got a notion You' reveal So exquisitely erratic, As a slide upon a fresh ba- nana peel?
