"Dare-Devil Spike," a Native of South Africa, Raises the Devii Generally. FIREWATER HIS FINISH Monkey Takes Liking to Liquor and Given Good Imitation of a Pitta burg Millionaire on an "O Be Joyful." New York.?John Hampton, a pros perous auto dealer, recently returned from South Africa, bringing a large ape. which he christened "Dare-Devil Spike." He and Spiko xound accom modations at Ike Hlrschorn's hotel here, and one day Hampton let Spike "set 'em up" for everyone In the ho tel bar. ThlB gave Spike his first drink, and gave him the desire for it. Nobody minded much, however, until the monkey drifted downstairs from Its master's room shortly before dawn and gave a good imitation of a Pitts burgh millionaire on a spree. One morning recently before the bar room wns opened for tho day the ape appeared to have a thirst of tho sort which only seasoned drinkers are sup posed to possess. Spiko sneaked out of Hampton's room, slid down the bnn Ister and deftly entered the bar room through an open transom. When Carl Hnssenfleck, Hlrschorn'B lunch-counter man. appeared on tho sceno shortly after 5:00 a. m. he found Spike In the BtfttQ of exhilaration pecullnr to some college students after winning a foot ball game. Spike greeted Hassenflock with a shrill cry of welcome, followed by a heavy tumbler, which missed the mai\'s right ear only because Hassen fleck had learned to dodge In his youth. Jimmy Samponl, a porter, went to tho lunch man's rescue, with the result that the two men passed an unenviable time hiding be hind the lunch counter in a storm of falling steins, bottles, plates, knives, forks, and other objects. Several of Spike's outshoots, Hassenfleck said afterward, would win for him a place "Spike" Extends Greeting. in a major league. Hampton was aroused from bed by employes of tbo hotel, who observed the excitement from afar. He entered the saloon, and Spike, delighted at fresh sport, took aim at him with the largest glass left standing. "O. nix on that!" Hampton ex claimed. "Come on! I'll buy you a regular drink!" The monkey Instantly let a plate fall and leaped Joyfully toward Its master, who seized him tightly and transported him to his room to sleep ofT the effects of the spree. Hlrschoru then took an Inventory of his loss, which he conservatively estimated at "more than 550." Hampton said If he couldn't make Spike pay he'd pay hlro self. Funeral for Live Corpse. Pottsvllle.

Indignant, the family of the dead man sent the undertaker to the almshouse to get the right body. When he reached the institution he found Magal hale and hearty. The body shipped In mlstals? was that of Charles Guardln It was promptly sent back and consigned to tho anatomical board. Ladles Swipe R. R. Towels. San Francisco.

Offers Farms Of 40 To 160 Acres Along Its Line Free Of Cost On Unusually Liberal and Easy Conditions. General Officers at I,Ivo Oak, Flo. The Livo Oak, Porry & Oulf Rail road, popularly known as the "Suwa noe River Route," traverses one of the richest, most productive and healthiest sections of Florida, starting at Live Oak and continuing westerly through Dowling Park, Perry and Hampton Springs, to a point near the Oulf of Mexico, with a branch at Al ton. Live Oak Is one of the best lit tle business cities in Florida, with a population of about 5,000, Is 70 miles west of Jacksonville and about 25 miles south of the Oeorgia State line, is a Junction point for tho Seaboard Air Line, tho Atlantic Coast Line, the Llvo Oak, Perry & Oulf and tho Flori da Railway anil Is the county seat for Suwaneo county. The section of Florida served by the Live Oak, Perry & Qulf Railroad is the heaviest timbered section of the state, and lumbering and allied In dustries aro being developed In a big way In the sevoral rapidly growing towns along Its lino. This means un ?sully good opening for all classes. These heavily timbered hinds aro also, naturally, the richest agricultural lands and It Is these lands that the Railroad desires to settle with good hard-working progressive people as fast as the lands are released by the operations of tho big lumber milling companies. Suwnnnee county, lying as it does between the Atlantic Ocean and the Qulf of Mexico, with the never falling cool summer breezes from east to west, has a climate ns cool In summer as In the North and yet ideally perfect In winter, and with ample fall for drainage and an abundance of pure drinking water. Suwannee county Is nn especially healthy spot. A rain fall of over f>0 Inches por annum makes crops as certain as possible. For the purpose of encouraging set tlers to Immediately occupy and culti vate nil the unoccupied lands In Su wannee county and thereby materially Increasing the tonnage and earnings of our railroad, we have succeeded In Inducing the several big lumber com panies on our line, who are owi ers of large tracts of agricultural and tim ber land, to let us have 25.000 acres of the best agricultural lands in Su wannee county, to be put on the mar ket to actual settlers. We absolutely exclude speculators who wish to buy more tha,i 320 acres, while to the ac- i tual settlei s we offer land practically regardless of prices or terms. In fact, on ridiculously easy condiMons to re liable people, we will furnish from 40 to 150 acres absolutely free of one dollar's cost, on a plan much easier than land ever could have been obtain ed even under the Government home stead law. And. it will be remember* ed that millions of ocres that were I first acquired from the Government without cost are now worth from $50 j to $200 per acre. The owners of these I Suwannee county lands have consent- I ed to our opening them for immediate settlement on our heretofore unheard of liberal terms and conditions, only because they know such settlement will greatly enhance the value of I he quarter of a million acres they have yet to put on the market. Just Imagine?these lands are lo cated right along our line of railroad; some adjoining townsites, ->o?ne not far from our local metropolis. Live Oak. and none of them more thnn four miles from railway service; close to good schools, churches, market:-, neighbors and only about three hour's ride to the great city of Jacksonville with its seaport markets to the world. These are the best landt in th.-? St.v.c of Florida for the raising of corn, cane, long staple cotton, upland rice, all kinds of hay and fodder, cowpeas, velvet beans, cassava, peanuts, po tatoes tboth sweet and Irish), vege tables of all kinds, fruits, nut.", cat tle, hogs, mules and hordes; while the conditions for poultry raising, bee keeping and dairying are Ideal. Wo hope within another two years to see Suwanee county well settled and al! under cultivation?a veritable garden spot?and lands selling at $ 100.0m per acre and upwards. But, for the pres net, our railroad needs more settle;. and more tonnage; therefore, price.* and terms on these lands are no o: - Ject. In short. If you can convlnco us that you are capable of farming fjom 40 to 320 acres and that you could, if necessary, come to Florida with a cash working capital of $500.00 or ov er, perferably $1.000.00 or more, you can on the easiest conditions Imagin able secure through us, without one dollar's cost a farm of from 40 to 160 acres under warranty deed to farm, hold, sell or do with as you wish. If interested, we would be glad to tell you all about this country, our plans, the opportunities here for mak ing money, and especially the condi tions by which you may have one of these farms free of cost.

There was a bit of excitement In town last Friday morning when word passed down town that Mr. Nance's new house was on fire. One of the negro painters was melting some wax in one of the rooms, turned It over somehow, and It caught fire. The floor, walls and ceiling overhead was considerably damaged before it could be extinguished. This house will be ono of the most handsome resi dences In town when finished, cost ing something like $3700.00. Mrs. Gussle McDonald has return ed from the hospital and her people hope she will soon bo well again. Dr. Miller is at home for a few days will return to Columbia Wednesday. Mr. John Miller of Whitmire is with his people here. He Is suffering with tonsiUCs. Miss Rhldona Plack of Greenwood was with her parents here last Thurs day. Miss Summers Nabers is with Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Austin for a visit. Mr. R. A. Austin left for Baltimore today to buy goods. He will visit his daughter in Philadelphia before he re turns. The undertaker her'e has bought a new hearse and up-to-date fixtures, all or which will be shipped In, in a few days. Miss Florlde Pinson of Cross Hill and Mr. Ruston Goddard of Coronaca were married Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Todd of Coronaca officiating. Miss Pinson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Pinson and a beauti ful and accomplished young woman. Last Wednesday when the trees were covered with ice we thought of the birds, and remarked that we do not see so many as in former years. What has become of the birds? Some years rgo at this time of year the robbin would flock to the china trees, and now we rarely ever see one. We miss many birds that a few years ago were regular visitors here. The large wood pecker of the scansorial family, with Its black coat, white neck, red top not. and tremendous voice has disappeared. We see a few thrush, cat birds, jays, and mocking birds In their season, but , they are not so numerous as in form er years. The little blue bird with Its brown breast has gone, as well as many other varieties. I think the Au dubon society ought to be kept up to protect the birds or we will soon have none of many varieties that are so pretty and useful. BEST STOMACHS IN THE WORLD.
