by the shock, trying TO understand
what had happened.
Are you hurt?" inquired one of the
policemen.
The man, mumbling an unintelligi.

flowing freely.

their way through the crowd which

middleaged individual, who gave his
name as DR. Thrston and offered his
services as physicians; the other was
young man with keen gray eyes,
who said nothing, but exhibited re-
porter's badge.
The physician at once turned his
attention TO the cabman; felt him,
thumped him, pinched him: smelt his
breath: and then delivered his ver-
diet:

The horse had by this time been
embarrassed and the cab had been
lifted upon its wheels again.

apparently listless spectator of the

Appreciation.

My thought has been very
much occupied lately in think
ing of that beautiful word-ap-
probation. In almost all de-
nominations of Christians, we
find that the thought of prayer
is mostly looking for God to do
something good,-asking Him
to do something good and look
ing for Him to do more and
more good. Christian Science
tells us that God has already
done all good, infinite good,
and that we are right in the
midst of infinite good, and |
have been asking myself: "Well,
then, if this be true, what is it
that is wanted? Is it more
good?" Surely not. 1t is sim.
ply more appreciation of the
good. If a man wishes to enjoy
a beautiful gallery of paintings,
it is not only necessary for him
to find the beautiful gallery of
paintings, but he must educate
himself to the point where he
can appreciate the artistic
beauty that Is around him, or
else it is absolutely nothing to
him. If one wishes to hear
famous musician, he must have
cultivated himself to the point
of appreciation, or he will hear
nothing but sound.
And so it seems to me that we
are like the musician who seeks
music with no appreciation of it,
or the one who seeks the gallery
with no artistic appreciation.
We are in the midst of good,
but do not know how to under
stand it or appreciate or apply
it. We do not feel it because
there is a lack in ourselves of
appreciation. and | would like
to suggest to every one that
each one may receive the same
benefit, and to that end he
should ask himself sincerely
from the bottom of his heart,
"Am | trying daily to appreci-
ate the good that | already
have? Do |, as a child, ia Ike
what is done for me by my par
ents as matter of course and
always look for more, or am l
trying to find within myself an
appreciation for what is done?
Do | as a parent expect the good
done by my child and not APP
preciate it? Do take the &C
tons Of love from day to day as
a matter of course, or do l APP
preciate and cultivate apprecia-
ton for every bit of good that l
already have?'
Without this, I believe we
shall never find any more good
until we learn to appreciate
what we have. George MacDon-

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT Strip.

To the Editor Of the Ocala Banner:
In view of the fact that south Geo.
rgia and Florida will have an excep'
tionally fine crop of sugar cane, 1
want again to urge growers to be
careful Gin manufacturing and pre-
pari ng the cane strip for market.
1t should be boiled to a proper con-
sistency, without being scorched or
overheated, and then put up in cealed
cans-half gallon preferable-and
then kept in cool place till you are
ready to market. Great care should
be had to make the syrup of as light
color as possible. This can be accom-.
plished by using the necessary ehemi'
Gals to induce proper precipitation,
lime water is good, and by being very
careful in skimming.

but expressed regrets that the sample

Handle your cane with care. Make
the best strip that can be made from
it, and then put it up in tin packages
made air tight, and you will realize
twice the revenue you now obtain for
this farm product.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way tc cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out anu this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con.
dition of the. mucous surfaces.

Everywhere the Same Story.

Lake City is constructing more
houses than at any time in its history,
and, what is better, every store and
every dwelling if not occupied is
spoken for. The same story reaches
us from Live Oak, Gainesville and
Palatka. All iof South Florida is on
an unprecedented, substantial and APP
parently permanent boom. A circus
aud menagerie coming to town and
pitching its tents is not more bustling
and busy than the city of Jackson
vile. The work of rebuilding is going
on day and night under electric ark
lights. If Aladdin had lived in this
day and visited Jacksonville he would

Woman Suffrage in Colorado.

To the Editor of the Banner;
II would hardly seem possioie Ior
any person of ordinary Intelligence 10
visit Colorado without becoming con-
v,nced of the value of woman SUI
rage to society and to the state. How
ever ones previous convictions might
have differed from this conclusion, IL
j. one that must almost inevitably De
forced upon the ordinary inteiilgeh'
PERCEPTION, when brought face to lace
with the great object lesson OF It's
working demonstration. For myself,
7 REQUIRED no conversion, it is true;
but my belief is no longer faith alone
but light as well. Even the enthus'
astic advocate of the political enfran-
chisement of woman is aroused 10
new energy in the vistas of larger life
and finer social results that reveai
themselves as the result of this hlgn'
or step inEprogress in the centennial
state.
The fact that women are voters
changes the entire structure of society
TO a degree that is surprising, even 10
those who have theoretically believed
in this same result. It's all we had
believed, and even more so. what
ever special interest women have at
heart, whether the building of a club
house, the extension and higher de-
velopment of the schools, or the I'M
provement of any municipal matter,
their effort is perforce taken seriously,
and not regarded as matter OF amuse-
ment. The result is that the woman
takes her place in the affairs of life as
a rational and responsible human he
ing; and that social matters and con-
versational interchange are infinitely
more interesting and significant.
