The sublimest poem Of antiquity is
impersonal, yet written in the Hebrew
tongue. The book of Job, the life
drama of the Man Of Uz, towers with
no peak near it; its authorship lost, but
it's fable associated in mind with the
poet-N oachian age, the time when God
discoursed with men and the stars hung
low in the empyrean. 1t is both epic
and dramatic, yet embodies the whole
wisdom of the patriarchal race. Who
composed it? Who carved the Sphinx
or set the angles of the Pyramids? The
shadow Of his name was taken lest he
should fall by pride, like Eblis. The
narrative prelude to Job has the direct
epic of simplicity-a Cyclopean porch
to the temple, but within are heaven,
the angels, the plumed lord of evil be-
fore the throne Of judicial god. The
personages of the dialogue beyond are
firmly distinguished: Eliphaz, Bildad,
Zophar, Elihu-to whom the inspiration
of the Almighty gave understanding
and the smitten protagonist himself,
majestic in ashes and desolation.
Each outvies the other in grandeur of
language, imagination, worship. Can
there be height above these lofty ut
terances9 Yes; only in this poem has
God answered out of the whirlwind, his
voice made audible, as if an added range
of hearing for space enabled us to com.
prehend the reverberations of super
human tone. / speak not now of the
motive, the inspiration of the symphonic
masterpiece; it is still a mortal creation.
though maintaining an impersonality so
absolute as to confirm our sense of mys-
terry and awe.-Edmund Clarence Sted.

A Chicken Thief EOiled.

Thursday night DR.. E. E. Philbrick
was awakened by the cries of chickens
and went out to investigate. He found
two chickens tied to his back fence but
no thief in sight. Subsequently being
called out professionally and returning
in the early hours Of Friday morning he
espied a negro shambling along, jealousy
guarding two chickens which bore a
familiar look. The doctor called to him
to wait but instead he ambled faster.
Seeing he intended to run DR.. Philbrick
threw his hand back as if to draw a
weapon, at the same time commanding
the suspect to stop. Then, presto! With
a yell the chickens were thrown into the
air, and the few who were present say
the negro beat all previous records for
tall scared negro running of which they
ever heard Policeman P. D. Demilly
has the booty.

The National Real Estate Association.
TAMPA, Fla July II, 1892.

TAMPA, Fla July II, 1892.
To the Editor of the FLoRmrAN:
DEAR SIR-The National Real Estate
association will meet in Buffalo, N. Y,
on the first Tuesday in October, 1892. I
desire to call your attention to the i'm
portance of this gathering. Those of us
who were fortunate enough to attend the
Nashville congress will not fail to 60 to
Buffalo. We had grand time socially.
The most imp ,rtant question before the
people of the United States will be dis
cussed at this meeting. To-day there is
not lawyer in Florida or Pennsylvania
who can tell what constitutes legal
title in half the states Of the Union. The
Buffalo congress proposes to formulate a
law so simple and so plain that ten year
old child and the most ignorant justice of
the peace will know just what is required
in any state to make a good and valid
deed; bad title will be thing of the past
and we will look back at our present
transfer laws as relic of barbarism; this
is only one of the many questions that
will be considered. Let not fair Florida
be wanting in this matter; real estate
agents turn out; organize, don't hold
back; let us take hand in Buffalo and
let us have the next meeting in Florida.
All inquiries addressed to me will re-
ceive prompt attention; arrangements
for special rates; please let me know
about the number who will attend, and
should circumstances warrant it special
meeting will be called. Respectfully,
T. N. WEIR,
Vice-P President.

coming to the front. The shipping COM

have pro6ted by past experience and the
fruit goes forward properly packed and

returns will be much more satisfactory
The yield this year is much larger than
last, Notwithstanding the late spring
frosts and blight ensuing. O.
The Southern Express company has
handled about 80 per cent. of the business,
its shipments this week up to yesterday
