Little Charlotte Allen was born at Key
West, Florida, February 22nd, 1874. Some
of her early experiences can be told bet-
ter in her own words.
"Some of my first pets were littie alli-

The wiser proverb is “never put off until

“Could you take care of them when
they got big?”
“When they were about three feet long
| we turned them loose because we were
moving away from that place.”
“Tell how you sleep in the same room
with a bear,” said a friend who was pres-
ent.
“That was while we were moving. My
father had taken the door offi the house
we were leaving to put it on the one into
which we were going to move, several
miles away. My sister and I, aged twelve
and eight respectively, were left at the
doorless house to see that nothing was
carried away by the mixed Spanish and
negro element that lived in the neighbor-
hood.
“Father intended to return the same
evening but was unexpectedlly delayed.
When it began to grow dark we propped
some boards up against the opening for a
door, stretched some mosquito bar across
the room in front of the bed to keep out
the mosquitoes, and went to bed.
“Before we had gotten soundly to sleep
we heard the boards fall, and something
walked in over them. It came to the
mosquito bar and sniffed several times
then backed away, went to the opposite
corner of the room and lay down.
“Filled with horror, hardly daring to
breathe, we lay huddled together through
that awful night, staring with wide-open
eyes through the darkness, toward the

There through courage and presence

! escaped being captured by a band of
| negroes. She was riding homeward
across the country and had to ford a
creek. When she was near the middle of
the stream she saw several negroes com-
ing down the opposite bank into the
water to get her before she could get out
i of the water. Quick as a flash she wheel-
ed her horse, retreated up the bank and
went flying down along the creck to an-
other ford a few miles away.
Some years after this her people moved
to Southern California. There, at the
' Floral Festival of Santa Barbara, in 1895,
she was awarded the first prize in an
' equestrienne contest, she being adjudged
the best rider. The following year (1896)
she entered the list again, and again car-
ried off the banner, as well as the heart
of young Frank Pierce the son of a prom-
inent farmer. There is reason to believe
that there was a mutual surrender in this
case for in the autumn of 1896 she re-
linquished the name of Allen to become
Mrs. F. A. Pierce.
Mrs. Pierce is a dressmaker as well as
a “sry good cook, as many, including the
writer can testify, as the years go by she

Democrats and turned their offices, as
far as patronage was concerned, over to

ator Gable, 1 take exception to your
statement when you say:
“Vivian Frank Gable became a more
obedient tool to the Penrose organization
in the special session of 1906 than Kepser
ever was. At the next election these
| political recreants asked the Democratic
organization to again pull machine chest-
nuts out of the fire for them. Is it sur-
| prising that the invitation was declined?
' Wouldn't it have been an outrage if it
had been accepted? To our mind that
| proposition is established. A year later
i the element which was responsible for
| Brown, Jermon and Gable nominated
| Ernest L. Tustin for State Senator and
| invited the Democratic organization to
| aid them. The inyitation was reluctant-
\ly accepted and Tustin betrayed every
| obligation of honor in supporting the
| Republican Machine.”
Now as a former resident of Philadel-
phia and familiar with the political situa-
| tion as well as the excellent record of
! Vivian Frank Gable I am somewhat at a
! loss how to briefly point out your mis-
| takes in that part of your article which I
have quoted. In the first place Mr. Gable,
| a city party man, was by fusion elected
in 1905 to fill the unexpired term of a
Republican Senator, Horatio Hackett,
deceased. He served in the special ses-
sion of 1906, called by Governor Penny-
packer, and his record will show that he
! did not train with the “Penrose machine”
and that he stood for every reform meas-
ure presented. In 1906 he was the nomi-
nee of the Democratic, Prohibition, City,
Lincoln and U. L. parties to succeed him-
self for the full term of four years. The
Republican nominee, John T. Murphy,won
in that Republican stronghold with only
101 majority. Senator Gable would have
been elected but for the treachery of
Democratic committeemen in a few dis-
tricts and had he not neglected his in-
dividual interests during the campaign
by giving nearly all his time to the duties
of chairman of the Lincoln party in an
effort to elect Lewis Emery, Jr., Govern-
or. So far as I know Mr. Gable never
betrayed his Democratic allies and while
he did not take an active part in the
campaigen of 1010 I have reason to be-
lieve that he voted for Webster Grim
with whom he served in the Senate.
You are also wrong in reference to
Ernest L. Tustin. In 1906 he was the
Republican nominee for Senator in the
Fourth District. His Democratic oppon-
ent was John M. Hill while the City,
Lincoln and Prohibition parties nominat-
ed William C. Mason; Mr. Tustin receiv-
ed 14,146 votes and was elected by 430
plurality over Mason while Hill received
3,811 votes.
