Predicts Great Things for Flor
ida.


II. B. Plant. PRECEDENT of the
Plant System, in an interview with
an Atlanta Constitution reporter,
says:
''The truth is, the orange groves
of centra Florida, which were we'll
taken care of, have suffered but
little from the cold wave. The
frost that killed many of the or
ange trees year ago was the first
disastrous frost we have had in
that region of the state for thirty
two years. Thee will probably
not be another frost for many
years to come.
but with all this there will be
a fair crop of oranges, grown in
Florida this year. OF course, the
yield will not be shown on the
market as abundantiy as it has
been for a number of years past,
and, of course, the scarcity OF or
angeS in the market will make the
price go up to some degree, but at
the same time there will not be
such d loss to the public as will be
naturally anticipated after all the
scare-crow stories thac have been
published in the newspapers of the
northern market centers.
There IS one pleasing observa-
tion to make concerning the dIsas-
ter which b:fell the farmers of
Florida last year, and that is, that
the cold wave which killed their
orange crop and groves has taught
them the lesson or diversified
crops, and they are now busy with
the truck farms, rowing such
things as tomatoes, cabbage,
beans, and many such things,
which find ready market in the
eastern and northwestern cities
long before there IS the slightest
evidence of verdure in the rural
districts of those sections.
ST believe that this cold wave
will prove blessing in disguise to
many of the farmers of Florida.
Perhaps they may never have such
a killing frost again, but at the
same time they are making money
on other crops and are not de-
pendent on the orange groves and
sunshine entirely"

old letters into the furnace, several that
were loose fell at the negro's feet. To one
of them Bob noticed stamp attached.
He picked it up for examination, and it
being Of unusual appearance, and remem-
beripg that he had heard OF boys collect
ing stamps of foreign countries, he placed
it in his pocket and then bethought him.
self to look for others, SO long as he had
taken the trouble to save this one.
A halfway careless tumbling of one or
two other punches brought to his view
| more stamps, about the same as he had
found before. except that the figures In
some cases were different; the pictures,
however, OF two bears appeared in all.
at this point of Bob's interesting in
designations the two janitors of the build
ing came in, and, seeing the darky Gu
riously examining one of the stamps,
asked him what he was looking at. Forth
with Bob produced what he had found,
and one of the janitors expressing an in
terest in them, Bob asked him what he
would give to obtain them. The ianitor
being acquainted, too, with gentleman
who, as he expressed it, "liked such
things" offered quarter and drink for
TIC 1Ot. DOD WAS 100 tUlTSIH TO resist,
with payday still away in the distance,
and mentally congratulatIng himself upon
his mornings good fortune, quickly closed
the deal.
Janitor Draper and his co-worker, Berry,
the next evening called upon the formers
stamp-collecting acquaintance, as Draper
did not care to keep his quarter invested
any longer than he could help, and besides
he expected to realize q profit. Perhaps
the stamps would bring a dollar.
Diapers establishment, not to say salts
faction, can, therefore, be imagined when
he received SIS bill for the nine labels.
Berry struck for his share and received it,
and equal partnership was then and there
agreed upon. They at once arranged a
programme for the next day, as there were
several boxes of old correspondence in the
Courthouse cellar that had not been
touched.

& CT g., into ms best form. On the other hand,
I woold warn the novice against doing too
muon woTK in training. A man slightly under
trained viii beat a slightly overtrained man
who may be shade the faster of the two.
Nearly all novices enter their first contest
overturned. Fifteen minutes OF earnest,
suappy work on the path is better than hall g
day of alternate lounging and listless ap-
pljcauon.
In middle and long distance races great pun
ishment must often be endured, and the con-
testant who never Furnishes himself in prac-
tice will rarely find that he has the heart for
Furnishing race. 1 would advise running at
least once week at top speed against the
watch when training for distance events.
a frequent failing with novices is to dwell
upon the details OF q coming contest until they
worry themselves sick in mind and body.
Keep your mind of the actual contest as
much as possible.
l would advise the aspiring athlete to select
the event for which he has the most talent an d
stick to it. 1t is seldom that an all-round atb-
lete will reach championship form in any
event. One can train at the same time for the
100 and 220 yards or for the go and 44o
yards, or for the 440 and $50 yards. but an
endeavor TO cover wider range of distances
is fatal to excellence in any OF them.
In conclusion l would say, Let your ath1etic
reputation grow naturally. Don't try to force
it by expounding your proves. Ii Won follow
this rule it Will save you many difficult and
complex explanations when you are beaten.

TALE OF A POSTAGE STAMP.

treme rarity of all these stamps, and how
much they are sought after by collectors
is shown by their market price to-day.
The most common specimens, certain
varieties of the and 10 cent ienomina-
tons, are valued at $3.50 each, while the
rarest, certain varieties of the Decent,
which were found among the Louisville
lot, recently changed hands at the record
price for stamps, a pair of them having
been sold for $1,000.
Stray fragments of the story of the great
Louisville find have appeared in various
phiatelic publications for the past few
months. but the full details of the sensa-
tional developments relating to the mat
ter were jealously guarded by those who
were in position to divulge them. The
lions share of these gems eventually fell
into the hands of the G. Fl. Mekeel Stamp
and Publishing Company of st. Louis, and
in the special semi-annual edition of their
Philatelic Journal of America, Just out,
the full story of the great find is told for
the first time, the only variation from
absolute facts being changes in the names
of those who made the original discovery
and those who assisted to dispose of the
stamps. The salient and most interesting
features of the story follow:
Black Bob is a Kentucky negro employed
as porter in the courthouse at Louisville,
KY. One day last August Bob was COM
missioned to clear up some boxes of old
correspondence, besides an accumulation
of miscellaneous traps that had for some
time been an eyesore to those about the
building.
