Mrs. Coolidge is of a type that would attract attention in almost "Typically American" Is the brief-est and most commonly voiced estimate of Mrs.

Calvin Coolidgo, and yet in many respects she and her husband present a study in contrasts. Where Calvin Coolidge Is a man of few words, Grace Goodhue Coolidge is a delightful conversationalist where he has a dry sort of humor, she bubbles over with fun and good nature; where he Is almost ombarrased at social functions, she is at ease. The early life of 'Grace Anna Goodhue, who became Mrs. Calvin Coolidge October 4, 1905, was that of the' average American girl.

The very next day we did actually make our start upon this remarkable expedition We found that all our possessions fitted very easily Into the two canoes, and we divided our personnel, six in each, taking the obvious precaution In tbe Interests of peace of putting one Professor Into each canoe.

Personally. I was with Challenger, who was in a beatific humor, moving about as one in a silent ecstusy and beaming benevolence from every feature. 1 have had some experience of him In other moods, however, and shall be tbe less surprised when tbe thunderstorms suddenly come up amidst the sunshine. It Is impossible to be at your ease, it is equally impossible to be dull in his company, for one is always In a state of half-tremulous doubt as to what sudden turn bis formidable temper may take. For two days we made our way Challenger, who has recently turned from South America with story, which no one believes, of the existence there of prehistoric 'enimals.

By way of proof he shows 11 alone a sketch of a stegosaurus, which he had found among the possessions of a dead explorer, Maple White; some photographs; end a piece of the wing of a pterodactyl. At a scientific lecture that night Challenger calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of his assertions. Thus one foggy morning young alone finds himself a member of a party of three setting out for South America. The other two are Professor Summerlee, scientist, and Lord John Roxton, well known explorer. At Manaos, Challenger unexpectedly joins the expedition.

As we walked noiselessly amid the thick, soft carpet of decaying vegetation the hush fell upon our souls which comes upon us In the twilight of the Abby, and t'ven Professor Challenger's full-chested notes sank to a whisper.

As to the feuds of the two learned men, they The Florida tourist traffic during the present season is the heaviest in its history, so much so that in certain portions of the state public utilities of every class have, been taxed to and beyond their capacity.

Inevitably the transportation lines have come in for a large share of adverse criticism but the fact remains that the public has not been called upon to endure any real hardships; the worst that happened was the delay to trains which really meant more, in expense and mental anguish, to the railway managers than to the travelers. The unprecedentedly prosperous condition of the state is of course very gratifying to the people of Florida and every effort will be made by the Florida East Coast Railway to do its part in fostering the growth of the entire state as well as furnishing adequate transportation facilities along the East Coast. Double tracking will be pushed as rapidly as humanly possible and rolling stock will be added to such extent as will enable us to meet the requirements of the next tourist season with confidence in our ability to operate our trains on the advertised schedule. The regular equipment of the eight scheduled northbound passenger trains per day have a total capacity of 2833 passengers, 132S in coaches and local sleepers the use of which entails a change at Jacksonville, and 1508 in through sleepers the destinations of which are Boston, New York, Washington, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and by which passengers for intermediate cities are also accommodated.

Other cars are added daily as demands seem to justify which augment the outgoing capacity by at least 20 per cent and still there are people who are unsuccessful in procuring just exactly the desired accommodations. The Pullman Company's supply of "Special Feature" cars is limited, and in constant demand at this season of the year, so we ask the co-operation of the public in making applications at the ticket offices as much in advance as possible.
