San Frsncisco Market Review

BAN FRANCISCO, Oct. H. The vegetable
market opened slow, with supplies of all kinds
plentiful. Cucumbers are doing better for
picking.
Fresh fruits are moderately active. Wine
grapes are weaker today for all varieties.
Peaches were plentiful. but the demand is
light, on account of poor quality. Table grapes
are slow. Melons are scarce. Some lemons
and pomegranates were received today from
Los Gatos. Strawberries are lower.
The high price Of fresh fancy butter has
checked the demand, and picked roll has been
benefited.
Eggs of all kinds are weak and dull, under
heavy stocks.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
FLORENCE A. JONES.

Did you ever notice, my little lad,
That the reddest apple on all the tree
Has always swung from the highest limh
Just to plague good people like you and
You may look and long, you may scold
and sigh
You will find as we all have found, in
time,
That looking and longing will not avail,
If you get the apple you will have to
climb.
Did you ever notice, my little lass,
That the sweetest rose is hedged about
With the sharpest thorns? If you gather
You must conquer the thorns, Or do with
out,
But the poison flower has no guarding
thOrnS,
And the deadly fruit ever lowest lies.
They grow in our path within easy grasp,
With fatal beauty to longing eyes.
You must learn this lesson and learn it
we'll,
Tjs a lesson that all the world must learn
Whether big or little, or rich or poor,
You'll meet it no matter which way you
turn.
In this queer old world, the best things
hang high,
So high that we ever must climb to
reach,
But the evil lies low in easy grasp.
And the choice to be made, God leaves
to each.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1892-10-27

| Otho Wilson initiated me in the order
of Gideonites at Goldsboro in August
1891, on my return from State Ali.
ance which met at Morehead. He
kept the obligation l took and l do
not know its exact terms, but will as
sure you it was regular "raw head
and bloody bones'' affair. 1 was
ashamed of it as soon as l found out
what it was, and have had nothing to
with it since. If had known before
hand what it was would not have
joined it. But Wilson told me it was
good thing and would aid the Ali
ance cause, and being an earnest ALI
anceman l joined.
AS soon as | thought about it after
having learned what it was, l saw it
was dangerous thing, and no honest
man could have anything to do with
it.
Tom Long told me the other day l
was the cause of the Third party be-
ing failure up here. l reckon he
had reference to my failure to work
and fight in Gideon's army.
The plan of the Gideon's Band, as
l remember it, is about this: There
is State Chief, who was at that time,
as l understood S. Ohio Wilson there
is also Chief in each Congressional
district and a sub Chief in each
county, whose duty is to obey and
have executed the orders of their i'm
mediate Chiefs, they getting their
orders from the State Chief. A fail
ure to obey is made in the obligation
a very serious ofense. There are three
hundred members of the band in each
Congressional district-the number in
each county l have forgotten.
l am thoroughly impressed with the
idea that this is a { .ngerous order if
it is being worked in North Carolina
About this l don't know, because, as
said, l concluded to have nothing to
do with it as soon as l learned what it
meant, and as l came out strong for
the Democrats soon after l was ini-
tiated by Mr.. S. Otho Wilson l sup
pose they became afraid of me. At
least, Wilson did not send the papers
he said he would send to me.
