It is two years ago today that the doors of the popu
lar James' Cafe, on Lemon street between First and Sec
ond, were thrown open to the public; consequently pro
prietor Robert James, better known as "Bob," and his es
timable wife, were receiving the congratulations of their
many patrons.
The James' Cafe was very much in the nature of an
experiment in Palatka, in that it was strictly modern and
elaborately furnished, all of the fixtures being of the la
test designs. Mr. James put into the business more than
$3,000; and there were some who said it was a too high
class proposition because there were already too many
restaurants in Palatka, taking the hotel dining rooms in
to consideration. But Mr. James had been in the restau
rant business here for twenty years, and he said there
was a demand for just such an institution as he intended
to operate, and his remarkable success is an evidence of
his good judgment.
The James' Cafe is one of the most popular eating
places in Palatka, and in fact, in the State. With eleven
tables "Bob" has found it inconvenient at times to handle
his patrons, hence he has long been figuring on something
bigger and better. He says he has found just what he
has been looking for and about November first will move
into the Hotel James, now building at the corner of Lem
on and Third streets.
The new hotel building will have thirty-two rooms,
sixteen with bath, all having running hot and cold water.
When Mr. James steps into the new hostelry it will rep
resent an outlay of approximately $50,000, and will be
a strictly up-to-date hotel. It will be handsomely fur
nished and the exterior, of buff brick, with concrete trim
mings, will vie with the big hotels in the large cities of
the country.
"Bob's" forte, however, is in knowing how to take
care of the inner man. He is an adept at this and the
dining room will, of course, be better than at his present
location, if that is possible.
Mr. and Mrs. James take this opportunity of expres
sing their sincere thanks to their, many patrons who have
helped make the James' Cafe the success it undoubtedly is.

LEGEND OF ST. BRENDAN.
It Claims the Irish Monk as the Real
Discoverer of America.
The tirst discoverer of America, ac
rording to an. old Irish tradition, was
St. Brendan. Brendan lived in the
sixth centiH-y and, according to legend,
fitted out a vessel anil sailed westward
iu the hope of discovering an island
supposed to contain the paradise once
tenanted by Adam and Eve. He was
accompanied by fourteen monks, and
the ship was "victualed for seven
years."
After sailing forty days and forty
nights they came to an island, where
they found "a hull with tables spread
with good meat and drink." They
then sailed on for n long time and
came to another island, "wherein were
the whitest and greatest sheep they
ever saw." After stopping for .a time
they proceeded with the voyage and
came fo a third island, called "the par
adise of birds." After wandering
about for seven years from island to
island St. Brendan and his monks re
turned to Ireland, where they aston
ished the natives by tales of the won
ders they had seen.
In spite of the wild and Improbable
features of this legend It was for cen
turies accepted as truth, and the Span
ish government sent out several expe
ditions iu search of the islands of St.
Brendan. The St. Brendan legend
formed one of the causes which led to
the discoveries made by Columbus.
SPAN OF TWO LONG LINES.
They Connect the Era of the Zeppelin
With That of the Sedan Chair. ,
The late Henry Gassaway Davis,
once a vice presidential candidate, saw
and heard as a boy in Baltimore in
182S the ceremonies at the official be
ginning of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road. The personage of the occasion, the
driver of "the first spike," as we should
say nowadays, was the last surviving
signer of the Declaration of Independ
ence, the richest American of the eigh
teenth century, the great gentleman
and illustrious patriot, Charles Carroll
of Carrollton.
Born in 1737, Charles Carroll had yet
four years to live. Thus these two
lives are an arch of nearly ISO years
between the American colonies of
George II.'s time nnd the third year
of Mr. Wilson's administration, when
Mr. Davis' long life came to an end.
The year of his birth was 1S23.
A mere two dozen of such lives as
Carroll's and Davis', a dozen of their
united span of years, would take us
back to the first Punic war. Charles
Carroll and Henry Gassaway Davis,
who saw him, together take us from
the sedan chair period to that of the
Zeppelin. New York Times.
Pigeons and a Doctor,
The carrier pigeou has been put to a
new use by a doctor iu Scotland who
has a large and scattered practice.
When he goes on long rounds he car
ries a number of plgeous with him. If
he finds that some of his patients re
quire medicine at once he writes out
prescriptions and by means of his pi
geons forwards them to his surgery.
Here an assistant gets the messages,
prepares the prescriptions and dispatch
es the medicine.
If after visiting a patient the doctor
thinks he 111 be required later in the
day, he simply leaves a pigeon, which
is eniployeel to summon him if neces
sary. To this enterprising physician
the keeping of carrier pigeons means
a saving of time and expense and labor.
