pany recently issued circular let.
ter which WAS mailed to every can
taloupe grower in the Arkansas
Valley. The letter starts Out to
win the sympathy OF the melon
growers by enumeratibg their dis
appointments, the pitfalls which
they have been led into. and the
egregious errors that have been
made by their local management.
They close with the startling state
ment that the only way in which
perishable goods Of any kind can
be successfully marketed.is through
commission house channels. and is
sue cordial invitation to growers to
open correspondence with them to
the end that some satisfactory ar
rangement may be made to bring
this about. ,':s
From the experience the grow
ers have had with commission men
in the past they, will probably con.
clnde that re- -opeping negotiations

semhlance to the feat of jumping
out Of the frying pan into the fry.

Another soul has wenled its way
To the relms OF JOY above,
Where all are free from sorrow and pain,
And dwell In peace and love.
otis only a soldier" some may say.
But still he was some mothers joy;
And that mothers heart is saddened now
At the loss OF her darling boy.
Our hero left home for HIS country's sake,
Twas early i'm the month OF May;
He donned his cap and shouldered his
gun,
And joyfully marched away.
His heart was happy. his soul was filed
With pleasure and delight.
For his country had called him and he
had gone
For his countrys sake TO fight.
One OF the Richmond Blues
Was this brave soldier boy.
And down 10 Florida his company came
Hopeful and fun Of Joy.
Ere long he had been in the sunny South
He was taken Ill with fever.
And this dear one In the bloom OF youth
Was called away forever.
The boy in blue has gone 10 rest:
He has given up glory and fame:
And though he neer fought on the battle
field.
He's true hero the same.
He's gone from this land OF mourning,
Where all are doomed 10 roam,
And into his Fathers home above
Into his home, sweet home.
So mother. father. friends. and all.
Though his body be meath the sod,
Let not your hearts be troubled,
For his soul Ii safe with God.

whittier the Emperor followed her TO
seek a reconciliation. She evaded him
! by leaving the place, and going on
| yachting trip, and il was eight years
before, chiefly through the illness of the
/ Crown Prince, the royal couple met
| again. and were reconciled, to the great
| joy of the Austrians. who celebrated the
! occasion with carousals, in which the
/ health of the Emperor and Empress were
! drunk in bumpers of Hungarian wine.
HER MELANCHOLY LIFE.
After the reconciliation the Empress
continued to live a melancholy life, de-
voted to her horses. and Indifferent to
almost everything else, until 1885, when
I there occurred the first of the
| tragedies that made every one who
knew her delicate and hlghstrung
constitution marvel that she re-
tanned her mental powers through
the series of ordeals. While the EN-
press was staying at hotel on one side
of the Starenberg Lake, her cousin, King
Louis, of Bavaria, was drowned on the
opposite shore, after having, in a fit of
insanity. murdered the medical attend
ant, whom he blamed for the restraint
put upon him. The Empress spent many
hours kneeling at the dead mans bier,
and never altogether recovered from the
shock. Six years later followed the ter
rible death of her only son, whose love-
less marriage to Princess Stephanie OF
Belgium, she had both opposed and de-
plored.
DEATH OF THE CROWN PRINCE.
The circumstances of the death Of the
Crown Prince Were of the most horrible
description. The Crown Prince com
mitted suicide, when insane with drink
on making the terrible discovery that
Baroness Marie Vetzera. the girl with
whom he was so passionately in love
that he was prepared to renounce his
succession to the throne, I'm order to be
able to divorce his wife and marry her,
was his illegitimate sister. She was
natural child of the Emperor and the
elder Baroness Vetzera.
X was the Emperor himself who in
formed his son of the relationship. and
demanded that they should separate.
This the Crown Prince felt he could not
do, and so blew out his brains, after
shooting and killing the girl.
ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.
IT was the Empress who first learned
Of the terrible tragedy from the lips of
Count Hoyos, one of the guests of the
Crown Prince. at the hunting lodge OF
Meyerling, where the tragedy took place.
She bore up wonderfully under the shock.
and, indeed, astonished all by her forti- [,
