Covent Garden Is the chief wholesale
market of its kind in London The best
time TO see It Is shortly after daybreak.
1 left my rooms about o'clock a. m.
last Sunday and walked down to them
All the streets surrounding the market
houses proper were filled with carts and
wagons loaded with vegetables. imagine
the largest hay wagon you have ever
seen piled high with green cabbages. so
that the load is taller and broader than
any load of sheaves ever brought In from
t., wheat fields. The cabbages are laid
In regular rows. and there are thousands
of heads of cabbages TO the load.
Then there were great loads of pink rad
ishes. each no larger than a pigeons
egg. piled up the same way, so carefully
that they formed mighty cubes of pink
balls. There were vast loads of spinach
| and carrots, onions and potatoes, and all
sorts of green stuff from water cress to
asparagus.
American Fruit in Demand.
There was q great display of fruit in
baskets and in crates. There were or
anges from California. and apples from
Virginia and also from New York and
Oregon. Many of the appleboxes were
marked Tasmania and some South Aus
tralia. the latter having been brought
here on a forty days trip in cold stor-
age ships. There were dollhouse grapes,
PEACHES and strawberries. The strawber-
ries sold at 75 cents a basket and / was
offered peaches at s. cents apiece. The
peaches were larger than any have seen
in the United States. They are raised I'M
der glass and are soli from boxes of soft
white cotton. being handled as carefully
as new babies.
Among the curious things sold are
green gooseberriss and rhubarb This is
the only place l know where they call
rhIbarb fruit. Rhubarb and gooseberry
tarts are saved everywhere and my
teeth ara still on edge from trying to
masticste the so-called green gooseberfy
tart. The berries are larger than ours
but 80 sour that they turn the face of a
girl Of Is into that OF an old maid of 80
as she bites into them.
Flowers for Millions.
Leaving the vegetable market went
to the buildings adjoining where flowers
are sold. I cannot describe the blaze Of
color and beauty which greeted me as
entered. The great building, as large as
one OF our biggest depots, was nils
with blossoms Of every description from

been published in newspapers
II Is conceded that Mrs Hale added
the last two verses, which run:

The teacher did reply.
+. AT one time there VAS something OF
controversy over the ownership of the
sother verses, 1t being maintained that
Mrs. Hale had written all of them, but
Vshe promptly announced that she was
zrespoh5bls for only the last two.
The everses were published again in
1884, In the School Song Book" but
by that time they were pretty generally
known through the settled parts of the
country. their circulation being due to
the fact that some enterprisinH person
had printed Their, on handkerchiefs
which had an enormous sale. This hand

the rhymes widely known than anything

But of course, that would not account

HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.

Mr.. b. L. Duke, of Durham, N. c.,
gives some valuable advice to 1.-The
young man Absalom" of the South in
a recent article in a Washington news
paper. 1t is hardly necessary to intro
duce Mr.. Duke, since about everybody
knows that he is one of the great to-
bacco manufacturers of the country
and founder of the American Tobacco
Company, commonly known as the
Tobacco Trust" which now has it's
ramifications in Europe as we'll as lin
America. 1t is not commonly known.
however, that Mr.. Duke began life af-
ter the close Of the War Between the
States without one dollar. Indeed, he
says that he literally had mot one
penny to knock against another" But
he had what was better-the pluck,
brains and strength to work and sue
coed. With his father and seven broth
ers, Mr.. Duke began the manufacture
of tobacco. I'VE had no money nor
friends who could aid us. A kitchen
table, two knives and a very small
consignment Of tobacco constituted
our stock in trade at the outset" Mr..
Duke was made the drummer for the
small concern. AS his father and
brothers manufactured the tobacco, he
went out to sell it. His conveyance was
an old horse and rattle-trap sulkey
From that beginning one of the great
est commercial enterprises in the
world, with millions of capital, has
been built up.
When, therefore. Mr.. Duke tells
young men what they need to make
them successful. he speaks from ex-
perience. Having climbed the ladder
from the bottom, he knows every rung
of it. The young men of the South. he
says. are the sections stewards. They
must not bury their talents. Men who
never look back are what the South
needs. THE typical Southern gentle
man who sat on his vine-shaded We
randall in summer and at the hearth
stone of his club in winter talking
politics and race horses, must be rele-
gated to the realms of memory" The
need of the times is for work, work.
work! THE business men of the world
who have become great financiers, and
who control the commercial Industries
of this country, have risen from the
lowly walks of life. They are the men
who have suffered the hardships OF
poverty, have labored hard, endured.
and mastered" Hard and constant
work and the practice of economy, Mr..
Duke says, constitute the recipe for
success. and 1t can be followed with all
honor. One can work and still be a
gentleman. Mr.. Duke says that is the
plan he and his brothers followed. and
concludes; why did we succeed? Be
cause we worked day and night, and
ala not waste our time sitting at
some stove in a country store. indulg-
ing in trivial conversation and finding
fault with those who had not buried
