New smyrna, tla.. May l9, 1902.
 We left Orange City week ago and drove over to this place, 28 miles to the east and on the sea coast. The
 same day Mrs Gum Eof Washington. Conn, in company of Mrs E. K. Flames,
 started by train for Jacksonville. to
 take the steamer for New York. After seeing Mrs Gum safely domiciled on
 board Of the splendid steamer
 Apache, of the Clyde Steamship Co.,.
 and in care of the gentleman purser of the ship, Mrs Flames returned the next morning to New Smyrna, where she was met by J. M. White, and they drove to the Rev Mr Byron's, where they were made husband and wife.
 Mir White is one of the prominent men of Orange City, and much esteemed, one who is deeply interested in the public library and all improvements of the city. He has most beautiful home and the union will add new charm to the literary world of the city. They are now spending two weeks at. the scashore before return ing to their home. New Smyrna is a very lovely place, situated on the west bank of Indian River. North, and four miles south of the New Smyrna Inlet Light, and F miles south of Jacksonville. A long bridge connects it with the seashore, some two miles to the east, where there are one or two hotels and 20 or 25 cottages The beach is one of the finest 1 ever saw, some 300 yards wide, and as far as the

 father was candlestick maker, ant i young Valentine used to hold the light in long winter evenings that his an
 cestral parent might the better be able !; to oversee his wOrkmen. When young Valentine became of age he struck out for himself and turned over new leaf He was ordained bishop at the ruins of Thermopylae in the period when the architect who planned the laying of the ancient Pyramids had the capstone of that imperial mausoleum laid. His great desire was to visit the old
 the middle aged, and the young One day an epistle was found sticking in the gate post of a young lady friend of his with no name signed to it. As no one had passed this gate but this good
 Bishop it could but be surprise to the inmates of that cottage. While sleep. ing, one day in the outskirts of the city, he was accosted by fellow travel CT who bade him arise saying, the desert is on fire and he must needs flee to his home for safety. On the day the first stroke was struck to lay the river Nile on it's then foundation, he came to the spot and wished to pass over the river into small hamlet to hold services. But at this early period there was no way to cross over~ except on green birch bark dried to a powder and soaked in powerful non-adhesive glue which would, on it's coming in contact with the water, strike fire although it was incombustible owing to it's f1inty nature. When first he landed on the opposite shore, his first step was heralded with sounds and he was accosted with the same harmoni- ous music that was played at the dedi- cation of King Solomon's Temple. It is found upon perusal of most of our ancient history and all of modern history, that the birthplace of this noble and worthy Bishop or saint is lost to the present day historian. One item occurs where you will find that he was beheaded about the days of the birth of Methuselah, supposed to be the grandson of the ancient and honor- able one. What beautiful and illus tratiVe fact. As we look over ancient and modern history and read carefully the 1ull and condensed mediocrity of his being and how much more bcauti- ful are our thoughts when we can but embrace the lines of some poetical genius whose relays have long since be- come extinct because of mans inhu- manity to man.

THE SOLDIERS.
WRITTEN FOR THE BEE.1

s>> What more had they than greater gift to give Who yielded life In battles strife, And In their pride of manhood's bloom, And some in stalwart years of life! They're past. the silent watch is over, No more the picket on his weary tread The land by blood and treasure bought, The myriad troops to battle led; Some rest beneath the sounding sea- The forest winds sound requiem walls, Where sleep the brave, where dwell the free. Glorious sons of Liberty! o men and boys who died and glorified America, with deathless name,- Our country's own. let's not forget Their heritage to immortal fame! What recompense but when the May is green But wreaths and roses scattered at the head Of victory, through battles smoke and flame Offering sweet incense to the silent dead, We'll crown the soldiers graves to-day; We bring fair fiowers fairest of the May, We stand and weep as the warm blood ripplcd
 red
 When men fought and fell in warlike fray, We'll pour our gifts from east to west. Pile every soldiers grave with bloom. On, could we look on faces we shall see no
 more,
 But only through the darkness of the tomb, Shall any that are living cry out, harden'd. Against grave evils they behold beset them While OCT them ride despoiers and injustice Crushing them beneath the rulings they cou-
 demn? VIII the spirit of their sacrifice stir our hearts. Ny the grateful knowledge of this free land? on Lord. help us to understand and duly
 honor Through kindest deeds, our patriot hero band.

l SELECTMAN WILLIAM B. ROE. William B. Roe, Brookfield's popu lar first selectman, is the son of tn, late Harvey and Mary B. (Blackman Roe, and was born in Millerton, N. Y. August 5, 1856. His father represent ed the town of Brookfield in the Gen eral Assembly of 1868, and for 12 year. was first selectman and for 20 years justice of peace of the town. MT Roe was educated in the Newtown Acad: emy and Kent Seminary.

He is a successful farmer, and highly respected mem Der of Union lodge, No. 40, F. & A M., Danbury. On June 3, 1885, he married Minnie s. Clark. Two chil dren have been born to them: Jessie M., born September 3, 1888, and Ger trude C., born June 8, 1896.

 The week ending May 17 was the most critical period of the apple crop. It had come to be a well recognized fact that the period of pollination or fertilization of the blossom settles the question of large or small crop, more, perhaps, than any other factor in the case. A long cold storm or one accompanied with high wind hinders pollinatiOn to greater oLleSS degree Even quiet storm ust at the right time is unfavorable. The week in question was without wind or storm of any kind and no temperature low enough to injure the blossoms in any way; hence we ought to expect a good set of fruit.
