Ii Is now assured that DR.. J.

Now let our Baptist brethren aud
sisters who can DO SO PIT this
occasion down in their note books
as one they expect to attend.
We select this item from tie
Stetson Collegiate and endorse
every word OF it: "The Business
College OF Stetson University is
at once an assured success. Such
4 first class business college evi-
IDENTIFY meets 4 real need of TIE
young men of Florida. As an
evidence of this fact more stu
dents have already registered
in this department than were ex-
pected to DO 50 the entire year.
Prof. Fry has his hands full TO
them" We may
add, however, that all who are IN
tLis college are accommodated
and the department has already
been enlarged.
President Forbes left for the
North on Wednesday, The 10th

Wien a man owns 4 bloodeG
horse he is always careful of its
health. He looks after its diet
and is particular that the feeding
shall be regular and right. While
he IS doing this il is likely as not
that he is himself suffering from
some disease or disorder. When
the trouble gets so bad shat he
cannot work. he will begin to give
himself the care he gave the horse
at the start. Good pure, rich,
red blood Is the best insurance
against disease Of any kind Al
most all diseases come from i'm
pure or impoverished blood. Keep
the blood pure and strong and
disease can find no foothold. That
is the principle upon which DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry works. 1t cleanses, purifies
and c2riches the blood, puts and
keeps the whole body in perfect
order: makes appetite good, di-
gestion strong, assimilation per-
feet. 1t brings rudy, virile
health. 1t builds up solid, whole
some flesh mot faD when, from
any cause, reduced below the
healthy standard.

NO MONEY, NO TRUST.
New York Banker of Great Wealth
Unknown to q fruit Vender.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Isidor Wormser
is Wall street banker OF great wealth.
Today he stopped in front of a fruit
ve:der's stand, and, selecting six peach
es at a total cost of 10 cents, ordered
the Italian to put them in a bag. Frumb-
ling in his pockets the banker found
that he had no change. He was not
embarrassed, however. He reached for
the fruit, saying: I'm Wormser, Isidor
WormSer."
The italian bowed pleasantly and
smiled as if glad to make the acquaint-
ance, but he held out his hand. Il have
no change said the banker, 'fbut I'm
Wormser. That's my place up there,
and he pointed to the building where his
firm name was conspicuous. Mr.. Worm
ser had the peaches in his hand now,
and he turned to go away, but the Ital-
ian seized his coattail and said. ME
wanta de mon. You giva de mon or
syiva de peacha." A friend came to the
millionaire's rescue. All men look alike
TO the italian fruit vendors and the
Greek push-cart merchants.

THE OYSTER is EARLY.
New York Harbor Already Bears Its
Fleet of Oyster Boats

New York, Aug. 2S.-The oyster sloop
is dotting the placid bosom of the har-
Dor. An oyster boat may be readily
distinguished from other river crafts by
it's broad beam and weather. beaten APP
pearance. The fleet distributes itself
principally over the lower bay and
along the Long Island shore. Arrived
al the fishing grounds, they cast anch-
or, and the fishing or dredging for oys
tiers is carried on from early in the
morning till late at night. An ordinary
oyster boat frequently carries, say, 800
or 900 bushels. 1t may be roughly esti-
mated that a bushel, when shelled, will
make about a gallon of oysters.
On an average it is safe to say that a
gallon contains upward of 300 oysters, so
that an ordinary catch would be from
10000 to 25 900 oysters. When it is con-
sidered that some Pc boats are engaged
in oyster fishing, some idea of the enor-
NOUS proportions of the oyster supply
may be had. The fleet of oyster boats
lxet at thet1lir-
land their cargoeS at the wholesale
market at the foot of West Tenth street.
The market, which for the greater part
of the year is deserted, presents a very
animated appearance when the season
fairly opens. It is busy spot now, for
the oyster is ON deck earlier than usual
this wear.

of the word and completely captured
his audience. He made more friends
among the colored people than any ora
tor that has visited Wichita, and he de-
Iivered the best speech to the largest
crowd that ever assembled at Gr1swold
park
Mr. Little made the point that the
colored people are the purest Americans
of ALI He said that their ancestors
landed in Virginia at the same time the
Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock, and
that there had been negro Immigration
since 1908 He also claimed that the
black man had earned his right to free
dom by fighting for it. The negro, he
thought, had a right to be called an
American. Mr.. Little spoke eloquently
of the negro as he found him in his ma
tive land He said Timbuctoo was con-
sidered the jumping eff place of civiliz-
alton, but in Tinbuctoo the negro chill
dren went to school with books under
their arms as they do in Wichita. He
believed that the people who had taken
care of the white women and children
of the south for four long years while
their husbands and fathers were fight
ing to keep them in slavery, and not a
black man had insulted white wo-
man, could not be very bad He be-
HeXed the black man would make
good citizen and said he wanted to see
them in all the avenues of industry"
