BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Loves Little Ones.---Sayss That 1T Nav
Mean That He rs Growing Old.
Atlanta Constitution.


1t is beautiful prospect to look
from the trains at this country now.
Every mile or two you see the truck
farms in strut of vegetation, and the
Strawberries especially attracted my
attention. Idearly love 10 see them
by the acre and look upon the pink
and carnation colors that mingle so
prettily with the green leaves. At
almost every station the crates of ber-
ries are piled up waiting for the ex-
press trains to speed them to market.
They are now bringing 81 crate at
the producers station, and there is
money in the business. Children,
white and black, are seen picking
them. Little girls get 3 cents quart
and little boys 81 cents, for the girls
handle them more carefully and don't
steal every big one they find.
Then there are the new potatoes and
tomatoes and cabbages that are in full
harvest and bring good prices. AS to
cattle. you are hardly ever out Of sight
Of them. They are not great big fat
cattle, but our lamented friend, Judge
Clark, said Florida heifer in fair
condition made che best and sweetest
beefsteak in the wofla and was more
like venison than beef. The lumber
and turpentine business down here is
on regular boom. Lumber that a
year ago brought only $12 Thousand
now brings's24 to $50, and turpentine
has advanced from "a cents a gallon to
So cents.
I've got good joke on myself OF on
somebody else. Ny old friend, Phil
Brown, who used to run the old Mark
ham in Atlanta, wrote me nice let
ter o month ago and begged me to come
down to Ocala and be his guest at the
Plant hotel that he has been running
all the winter. So I made straight for
the Ocala house, and he seemed sur
prised and delighted to see me. We
talked for some time about the good
old times we used to have. had had
no dinner and not much breakfast and
was hungry as wolf. The sun went
down and the big dining room doors
did not open. Some friends called to
see me, and it grew later and darker
but still those doors were closed, and
/ noticed that Mr. Brown had depart
ed those coasts. Ako.s! g:22H . CLOCK
I ventured to inquire Of lad what
time they had supper. He smiled at
me and said: "We don't have il here
NO more. This house is closed for the
winter" He was very kind and took
me 20 the door and pointed to a place
where / could get something to eat,
and |, too, departed those coasts With
alacrity. The next. time Mr. Brown
invites me / will 60 sooner or not go
at all.

True Victory.
BY NJ. A. MITLAND.

He stood with foot on the threshold,
And cloud on his boyish face,
While his city comrade urged him
to enter the gorgeous place.
"There's nothing to fear, old fellow;
1t isn't a lions den;
Here waits you royal welcome
From lips OF the bravest men,"
Twas the old, old voice of the tempter
That sought in the old, old way
To lure with q lying promise
The innocent feet astray.
"You'd think it was Bluebeard's closet,
To sec how you stare and shrink!
tell you there is naught to harm you
It's only game and drink"
He heard the words with shudder-
cts only game and q drink"
And his lips made bold to answer:
'But what would my mother think7"
The name that his heart held dearest,
Had started secret spring,
And forth from the willy tempter,
He fed like hunted thing.
Away, till the glare of the city
And its gilded halls of sin
Are shut from it's sense and vision.
The shadow of night within.
Away, till his feet have bounded
Der fields where his childhood tr0d;
Away, in the name Of virtue,
And the strength Of his mothers God.
On the page where the angel keepeth
The record of deeds we'll done,
That night was the story written
OF q glorious battle won.
And he STOOD by his home in the star
light
All guiltless of sword and shield-
A braver and n0blcr victor
Than the hero Of bloodiest field.

For the Housekeeper.


Now how many Of the readers have
ever used paint brush and whisk
broom to blacken and polish the
kitchen range? To any who have not.
let me say that, if you will try it once.
you will never go back to the old
blacking brush. Get 10 cent paint
brush about l inch wide ana an old
whisk broom, paint your range over
with good blacking, using your brush;
then, with the old whisk polish; you
will find you can do the whole business
In about five minutes and not soil
your hands, and what blessing that
is. DO you ever use rag just damp
ened with either good furniture pol
ish or sweet oil and turpentine, four
parts of oil to on part of turpentine,
for dusting? If not, try that instead
of scattering the dust from one piece
of furniture to another to be all wiped
or brushed again. The oiled rag
holds it and leaves beautiful polish
on the wood. OF course this can
only be used on the woodwork. For
the upholstery I find nothing SO good
as a pair Of bristle whisks, one soft
and one heavy. Another thing is a
little coal oil in the water to wash
windows and mirrors in; about two
tablespoonfuls to a bucket Of luke
warm water. Wash and polish in the
regular way and see how they will
shine, and besides they keep clean
twice as long. To. keep piecrust from
soaking, brush over with beaten egg
and let dry two or three minutes and
your custards will be all right and not
have soggy bottom crust. To clean
bottles, use coarse coal ashes and
soapsuds.

Why the Judge Paid the Bill.

For this story of the relation of poll.
tics and medicine the Philadelphia
Medical Journal vouchcs: A physician
was summoned in haste to attend the
child of family that lived in two
rooms IN the heart of large Alneri-
can city-not New York. The child had
been seized suddenly and seriously
and just Mt election time. The mother
was in despair, and when the doubtful
pfognosis was given she broke into
waiing and violent self condemnation
for some horrible sin of the family to
which she said the chil(l's illness was
due-a direct punishment for their
crime. She would go and curse the mag
istr;ltc for 1t all, her husband should
resign from "the force" and such evil
ways should be renowned forever.
Curious to know how the magistrate
could be held responsible for the child's
illness, the doctor finally secured the
confession that the crime of the poor,
conscience stricken woman consisted
In allowing the names of many fraudu-
lent voters to be registered as residing
In her house, in swearing to the lie,
etc. The magistrate also had demand
ed this of all the ncighbors in return
for indcscribable political favors.
The child recovered, and the magis-
trate paid the physicians bill.

The Two Romeos.

Joe Jefferson told this story: David
Garrick and Spranger Barry We're both
playing Romeo Mt the same time in
London. Barry played it ut Drury
Lane on the Monday and Garrick play
ed it the next night at Covent Garden,
and the town was divided as to which
was the greater Romeo-in fact, there
was quite Il great excitement about it,
and they acted it upon such different
lines and with such marvelously differ
ent conceptions that the people argued
the case as to which Shakespeare in
tended. The fact is that Shakespeare
intended it to be acted we'll, and If
one mans temperament suited 1t best
to act in that way it would do for an
other temperament the other way.
$50 they asked Mrs. Siddons, who
was the Juliet alternately with the
same Romeo, which she considered bet
ter of the two, and she said: 1T is diff
cult to say; they are both wonderfully
great, but l will tell you how they
impress me in the balcony scene. In
the balcony scene Garricll seems SO
eager, so intense and so full of fire and
spirit that Pm afraid hell jump up in
the balcony to me, and Barry is SO low
able and fascinating that Pm afraid I
shall have to jump down from the bal
cony to him."

Bryan's speech accepting the nomi-
nation is, like all his formal utteran-
.cnces, rhetorical and tricky. 1t is de-
voted entirely to the question of Sim
peralism," which he and his platform
declares to be the paramount issue of
the campaign. An overwhelming ma
lority of the people of the United
States believe that reputation, which
he and his platform have projected in
to the canvass, is the burning issue of
the campaign of 1900, yet he lodges
that question completely. His whole
speech is devoted to matter which
not one Bryanite out of ten cares any
thing about.

Mr.. Bryan's speech at Indianopoli

application of that principle at home

Mr.. l5ryan's discussion of this para.

but to our best and noblest impulses,

is most sacred in our history.
