ON, ON, EVER ON /
Columbus Lesson to America.

columbus Lesson to America.
Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the gates of Hercules
Before him not the ghost of shores,
Before him only sloreiess seas.
The,good mate said Now must we pray,
For 10 the very stars are gone
Brave Admir-, speak; what shall say !"
Why, say. Sail on sail on and on =
My men grow mutinous day by day,
My men grow CHASTITY wan and weak
The stout mate thought Of home spray
OF salt waved washed his swarthy cheek.
What shall say, brave Admir-, say,
If we sight naught but seas at dawn p
why, you shall say, at break Of day,
Sail on sail on | sail on and on ?
They sailed and sailed as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
Why now not even God would know
Should and all my men fall dead,
These very winds forget their way,
For god from these dead seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Admir-, speak and say
He said "Saii on sail on and on:''
They sailed They sailed. Then spoke the mate
''This mad sea shows its teeth tonight;
He curles his teeth, he lies in wait,
With lifted teeth, as if to bite
Brave Admir-, say but one good word:
What shall we do when hope is gonea'
The words leapt as a 1eaping sword:
sail on sail onl sail on and on
Then pale and worn he kept his deck,
And peered through darkness. All, that night
of all dark nights And then speck
A light A light Alight A light
1t grew-a suniit flag unfurled,
1t grew to be Times burst of dawn.
He gained word: he gave that word
Its grandest lesson ON AND ON.

OF 0cala.

As will be seen by articles of incor-
porasion published in the Banner, the
above named company is applying fol-
letters patient. The directors of this
company met last Friday and let a
contract for the building Of their plant
in this city to the United Government
and Improvement company, of Phila-
delphia, for the sum CT $4,000.
F. III Shelton, salesman of the Phil
adelphia firm, represented them in
this important transaction. He re-
turned home Sunday, and work will
at once begin in the casting of mains

proposes to have the plant in operation

who built our county Jail, was present
at the meeting and the only stock

mains through our streets, was the
only one that complied with the re-
quirements CT the council, and put up
81 900 forfeit to begin work in digging
bitches fsr their mains as soon as the
city board of health would permit
them to do so.

A LEAP TO DEATH.
DR., W. G. Gillian Jumps from the Third
Story Window Of the 0cala House.

DR.. W. G. Gillian Jumps from the Third
Story Window Of the 0cala House.
Our community was terribly shocked
Tuesday morning by learning that at
o'clock DIR. w. G. Gillian, well
known in this community, in a fit
of mental alteration, threw himself
from the third story of the north end
of the Ocala House to the pavement
below, in his night clothes and from
the effects of which he died Wednes-
day night at 9 o'clock.
1t seems that the Doctor had been a
most intense sufferer from insomnia
and for week had scarcely had any
| sleep.
The bell boy raped at his door at
seven and he got up went out into the
hall, his wife supposed to order him
to have fire made in their room, not
returning she looked for him and
then only learned Of the terrible leap
| he had made.
| Penny Dukes saw the doctor make
the jump and was the first at his side,
securing assistance in Carrying his
senseless form to his room.
Doctors Izlar and Thompson did oil
they could for the unfortunate man,
but he had injured his spinal cord
from which he died.
The Masons took charge of his body
and escorted it to the depot accom-
panied by the deceased's wife and
mother to Spartanberg, S. c., where his
remains were inferred.
The sorrowful tragedy is intensified
by the fact that Doctor Gillian had
only been married since last August to
a most estimable South Carolina lady.
Deceased was most kindly and
agreeable man; possessed of culture
and had enjoyed extensive travel and
as a specialist in eye and ear troubles
stood high in his profession and en-
joyed an enviable reputation and a
large practice in New York City.
He was largely interested in orange
culture near Ocala and possessed q
fine grove which he was enlarging.
He was great favorite with our
people and his tragic death is greatly
deplored and most sincerely mourned.
The sympathy of this community
goes out to the stricken wife and
bereaved mother.

dead contemporaries and reciting the
checkered and fearful story of their
buoynnt births. ambitious struggles,
and lamentable exits, is again and

ITO whom shall you send it, dearT'
Bertha asked, gently, little subdued
by Nellie's epistolary success.
81 hadn't made up my mind" Nelly
answered, thoughtfully; "they all need
it."
"Oh, send it to Jack" cried Kitty
Green. "He boards with us, and he
needs it-bad enough. If ever boy
was full of his prauks Jack is, and If
ever boy tormented girls life out
Jack does mine"
A color clear and bright as flame
glowed on Nelly Hunts cheeks Had
she had dark-eyed Jack in her mind all
the while? She only answered, very
quietly:
81 don't mind. / would just as lief
send it to Jack. That is. I'll send it to
him if you'll promise, on your sacred
honor, never in any way to let him
know who wrote it"
.'Oh, wiIl-true as live and breathe,
I'll never tell him, and never let him
guess. if can help it."
"And all you girls?" Nelly asked,
with the pretty pink glow deepening
in her checks. will you all prom
ise?"
And they all promised, for there was
q sort of honest earnestness in Nelly's
nature to which they found it natural
to yield.
So the valentine was directed in
Nelly's most neat and proper manner
to "Mr Jack Green" and was dropped
into the post Office with the rest of the
valentines the girls had written that
day.
On the 18th the six girls were all
together at school. comparing notes
and exchanging condolences. But
Kitty Green drew Nelly aside, and
SAID, while they walked up and down
the hall together, their arms around
each other as girls will:
81 saw Jack get it, Nelly"
Nellys pretty cheeks glowed and her
eyes shone like stars, but she asked no
questions. Indeed they were scarcely
necessary, for Kitty was eager enough
to tell her story.
"He got it, don't you think, along
with half dozen Others, and he read
them all before he came to this one. L
knew this, you know, by the shape Of
the envelope When he came to it l
saw him read it all through. and then l
saw him go back and read it again l
heard him say to himself:

little saint
Then he came up to me and held it

toward me, while 1 pretended to be
very busy with my valentines. Then
he spoke:
"'Do you know that handwriting,
Kit@
Il felt like an awful little liar, but l
had promised you. L stretched out my
hand for it and said, carelessly:
why, amt it Sue's?'
Sue is his sister, you know. So he
thought / did not know who it came
from. and he changed his mind and put
it into his pocket and went off. When
| teased him afterward to let me see it
he said:
"'No; there are some things fellow
would be a cad to show
$50 saw it hit home, and well it
might 1t was a tremendous letter,
Nelly"
And Kitty ended with a hug and a
kiss, and look of that loyal admira-
ton which girl can give another girl
now and then.
When the spring came Jack Green
went away from Chester, and did not
come back there any more. No doubt
Nelly Hunt would have forgotten his
very existence but for the valentine,
which she could not forget She used
to blush as she grew older, to think
how "tumptious" it was. as she used to
call it to herself. What was she, that
she should have undertaken to preach
sermon to that boy? What if he re-
membered it only to think how pre-
Stunning it was, and to laugh at it? But,
luckily, he did not know from whom it
came, and with that thought she cooled
her bushes
Nellie was twenty when Jack Green
came back to Chester again. And now
he came as a physician, just through
his studies, and anxious to build up a
practice Soon his fame grew. His
patients were among the poor at first,
and he cured them; and then richer
people heard of it and sent for him.
But, while he took ali the patients that
came, he never gave up his practice
among those who most needed him
His praise was in all their mouths.
There had never been any doctor like
this one.
Necy was Miss Hunt now-for Ber-
tina had gone away from her into the
next country-and Nelly's grief had
made her gentle heart yet more gentle,
and her helpful spirit yet more helpful.
Toward night, one summer day, she
haG gone to see an old woman who
had been her nurse once, and had
found her very ill-qui.e too i'll to be
left alone, and certainly in need of a
physician. So Nelly tore leaf from
her memorandum-book. and wrote on
it few lines, begging DIR. Green to
come at once, and then called to the
first passer-by and entreated him to
take it to the doctor.
1t was scarcely half an hour before
DR.. Green came in quietly and gravely.
He attended to his patient with that
