MEASURING DISTANCE.

During the exhortation Of Sin Killer
a few nights ago he was commenting
upon his own voice, as to how far it
would echo in the distance, he said:
you can hear me in the north one
mile, you can hear me in the south
one mile, you can hear me in the west
one mile, you can hear me in the east
one mile" and as he cast his piercing
eyes toward an earnest listening
member of the congregation, asked,
''how far is dat sister," She quickly
responded, -four miles!" Yes, yer
kin hear me four miles" And the
good colored sister fell back in her
seat looking extremely happy.

1t is really astonishing to a sensi-
bleN man the amount of STUFF the
great dailies of this country and Great
Britain publish in the way Of stuffing.
Padding out a three-line paragraph to
make a half column is the exception
not the rule. Time is coming when
this thing will change. Life is too
short, nerves too precious, eyesight too
dear, brains too valuable to be fritter-
ed away in this wading through
bowl of news-soup for the little pea in
the consomme. Those papers that
print the boiled down news, making
point and not padding their idea of ex
cellence, are taking the road today.
Anybody can write a long-winded ar
ticle. Not every one can make the
paragraph of three lines that includes
in its brevity whole column of very
thinly distributed intelligence, such as
is the stock in trade of the space wri-
ter and the gossipper. Brevity is the
soul of wit, so says the old prOverb.
Not the less true is it in newspaper
dom that brevity is the soul of sense.

1t was not the policy of Russia in the
old Balkan business to allow of any
concentration of power there, and it is
not now the policy of Russia to allow
Turkey to acquire any addition Of ter
ritory or any ACCESSION Of power. Rus
STA wants the Southeast to continue
disintegrated until her own plans
consummated and the hour fully come
she can easily extend her arm over
the whole of Eastern Europe. Uni
versal Christian empire is the ambi-

England seldom commits an injustice
upon one of her own colonies. Her
acts of robbery and usurpation and
fraud are committed upon the weaker
fellows who loaf around the door stone
of these colonial dependencies. This
fact it is that makes the colonies of
the British crown SO loyal to mother
country. John Bull is stubborn and he
does not readily learn anything, but
once he does learn he never forgets.
The lesson that the American colonies
taught him, century and quarter
ago, lessons written in blood and the
loss OF empire, have not had to be re-
learned. All the British colonies to-
day from Canada to Australia are
reaping the blessed fruits of that SOW
ing in blood and disaster.

There is no pig can get fat on what
another pig eats. There is no man can
grow wise on what another man
studies and digests mentally. There IS
no woman can grow sweet and happy
on the failings Of others. There is no
party can grow on the growl that it
takes for daily diet. The party of dis
content is doomed to failure. This Is

Some folks profess to love a good
hater, some people pride. themselves on
their inability to lie artistically. others
are pulled up over their imperturbabil-
ity. The Turk boasts of nothing, but
for pure cheek there is nothing on top
of sod compares with him. His cool
proposition to the Powers, that he
send troops into Crete, is the latest in
that line.

The impossible Turk, was not bad
ly named. 1t is impossible to rouse him
out Of his stolidity, impossible to make
him see that Europe is likely to snatch
him baldheaded, impossible to frighten
him into compliance with demands
made by all the Powers, impossible to
hold him back from that temerity of
foolishness that is the forerunner of
destruction.

Florida is not the only state that,
forced out of her chosen theories of
production by the stern hand of neces-
sity, has found lessons of adversely to
be lessons of good. The frost that
killed her orange groves tingled
through her veins the blood of new
enterprise in the production of ber-
ries and vegetables, by which she has
doubled her wealth.
