The highest endorsement of the rural
free delivery system that can be given
is the declaration of an official high in
the department that Of all the thou
sands of routes that have been estab-
lished, within the past few years
the patrons of a route have expressed
n desire to return to the old methods
Often there have been changes and re-
adjustments made in routes to meet
new or unforeseen conditions, and in an
occasional case there have been COM
plants to look into and defects to rem
edy, but in every case as soon as a
route became well established and in
good working order it has become pop
ular with its patrons, all soothing and
objections have been silenced. and the
people have quickly appreciated the
benefits and advantages of the system.
There are thousands of applications for
new routes nov waiting the action of the
department The work is being pushed
rapidly as possible. and in every
part OF the land the system is proving
blessing to the rural sections.

Shake Hands With Fate.

Ills a sad old world, and bad old world,
1t is scarce worth while at all;
Its sorrows cling and its friendships sting.
And even it's joys will pail.
But dear is life for all its strife,
And love is better than hate
You'll find a grace in the surliest face
If you just shake hands with fate.
With light in your glance and right in
your glance
And your lips in a curve to the sky:
A spring in your walk and ring in your
talk,
Sure, hope will not pass you by.
The path that you will winds over a hill,
But it leads to an open gate;
So trill YOU song to lure love along,
And just shake hands with fate.
'Tis in yourself is the demon elf,
'TiS in yourself is God;
And youll never stray from yourself
away
Gods light or the DEVILS prod.
Whatever your mind you'll meet in kind,
And what is yourself create;
The world will view what is really YOU
Therefore shake hands with fate.

Our Trade With Japan.

Baron Shibusawa, herrllded as the
merchant prince of japan" is now in
this country, and his visit, following
that. of several prominent Japanese
statesmen, calls attention to the very
cordial relations between this country
and the island empire OF the eastern
seas which an American commodore
opened to the commerce and civilization
of the world two generations ago. 1t
also calls public attention to the great
growth of trade between the two coun-
tries. The American people have long
known that our trade in the Orient, and
especially with Japan, has been reach
ing large proportions, butt it takes the
most recent of satisfies to show how
large that trade has become. A report
of the bureau of statistics shows that
American exports to that country have
increased, in proportion to Japan's
whole volume of imports, nearly 200 per
cent in the past 20 years. and at the
same time the actual volume of our ex-
ports to that country has Increased by
more than 1900 per cent, putting us
very near the head Of the list of nations
in trade with the Jap.
Taking both imports and exports our
japanese trade in 1900 surpassed that of
any other single country in the world,
hxyo Ia fla nf
the leagued nations which compose the
British empire. The trade of the United
States with the island empire in 1900
amounted to s59,0OO,O 900, while that OF
the British empire-including Great
Britain, India, Hong Kong, Canada and
Australia-only went as high as $SS,
600, coo. The next on the list was China,
with only $31,OGO,OOO in trade with her
next door neighbor, while Germany had
but SIG, 100000 and France $13,500, 900.
At the present rate of progress it will
not be many years before the United
States will far outrank all other coun-
tries in the Orient. No wonder the
merchant prince of Japan wanted to
cross the Pacific and see what kind Of
a people we have here who can compete
with all the world and beat them all!
The report makes a most excellent
showing, and is another demonstration
Of the necessity of laying a Pacific
cable and of building an isthmian
canal.

Henry Ciews, speaking from the Wall
the political outlook, LAS for the
trusts. once the most inviting subject
for legislative attacks, the prospects
are now for less radical action than at
one time seemed probable. These in
situations have completely failed in
their efforts to suppress competition,
and are gradually succumbing to the
economic penalties of overcapitaliza-
tior and attempts to unduly control
prices. Many of the evils of the trust
system can be safely left to correct
themselves; still the public. will not
rest satisfied until some restraint is
placed upon the power of these cor
porations, and among the propositions
thus far advanced those favoring rea-
sonable publicity and national cor
poration laws seem to be the most ac-
ceptable. A national corporation law
would avoid the radical measures of
some states. and at the same time pre-
vent the abuse which permits the cor
poration of one state to break the laws
of every state except its own, which
very likely has granted its powers not
permissible within its own territory"

What Is Mine?

The gift of all gifts. life,
Though saddened with care and strife,
Sprinkled with moments of peace.
That linger an instant, then cease;
The sembance of happy hours,
The scent OF faded flowers,
Signs, and bitter tears,
Shadows of former years
This is mine.
Yea. more is mine
The right to live and let live,
The virtue to forget and forgive,
To do what's right ana ever plan,
Come what may to act the man;
Succor others in time of grief
Be not tardy with relief.
Not aspire for sordid pelf-
Think of others, then of self,
And make life sublime.
And more is mine
The right tn think, love. and feel,
Abhor deceit. be ever real,
Enjoy this earth. its shade and flowers
Natures gifts and summers showers,
The universe. its harmony;
Mingled with its melody:
The boundless ocean and its might,
The suns bright rays, the moons pale
light
All is mine.
But, worthy seer,
Tell me what means must employ,
These gifts of nature to enjoy?
To see all things as thou has seen
Would make this life an ideal dream,
The sweets of life i fain would crave
10 WOO me from living grave.
The seer replied: Go forth be true

LETTER FROM FLORIDA.

From a personal letter to the editor of the NEWS. written from Rockledge, Fla March l. by Mir 8 W. Barnes of Canaan. Conn.,, the editor takes the responsibility of publishing the follow ing paragraphs as he thinks Mir Barnes would not object to the publication oi parts of the letter which will interest the readers of the NEWS.
 We left Canaan on Monday morning, February 17th, as you we'll know, in . ing not only through the New England states but as far south as South Carolina where several inches of snow fell. Be- low that point it did not reach to any extent. We arrived at Jacksonville early Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning we wandered around over a portion of the burned district, and were much surprised to see SO many buildings erected, and others in the course of construction. It shows that the people of Jacksonville have lots of push and clear grit still left, and in 8 very short time the city will be more beautiful than ever 12 55 found us on the train for Rockledge, which place VIC reached about 6. 30 p. m. We find every hotel full to overhowing- and turning people away daily-which shows how many people go south to escape the cold winters north. And such change from zero and below to 75 and 80 above. It makes one rather sleepy at times, but between maps we manage to keep the ball rolling.
 The first question in the morning is, 'Are you going fishing todayP" A large number go out daily and 1 must say have splendid luck, bringing in from twenty five to forty five bass and lake trout ranging in weight from one and one half to sixteen pounds each. one catch of 1l6 pounds, another of 125 pounds on Tuesday of this week. These may seem to you pretty big fish stories, but if necessary can get them verified under oath by the local clergy here. am not at all concerned about you, bu, should you repeat these yarns to your readers they might wick the other eye. Oranges are plentiful here and we have all we can make way with. A notice in the hotel grove reads: "Please not pull the oranges which notice is respected, but the nigh winds Will blow fthem of, and it's too bad to see them decay. and loose their fragrance on the desert air, 30 we manage to rake them in, and not let the dew fall on the unprotected, golden fruit. In the yard we also see bananas, grape fruit, qum- gusts and pawpaws growing, besides m any flowers.
 Many thanks for a copy of tho NEws received last Saturday, should another copy reach us today, rest assured it will | find a welcome in our corner of the hotel cottage, just across the grove from the main buildidg. It is called the annex, aud we pass through among the heavily laden orange trees several times daily to and from our meals Is it any wonder the oranges have to suffer? We expect to leave for Altsmonte Springs next Wednesday afternoon, 9th inst. Will probably remain there two weeks or more.
 I might also mention that the orange trees are budding full-will soon be open-which means oranges in abund ance another year.

WET SPELL IN THE STATE.
Washouts and Accidents-LocOmotive
 Engineers Were Careful.

 Engineers Were Careful. On friday night the express and passenger trains on the Berkshire Division of the N Y N. H x H. rail road were about two hours late on ac. count of the terrific rain of the after noon aud evening. There were no serious wash outs on the line up to that time but the engineers ran their trains very slowly as they placed little con. 6dence in the rosdbed which they could see only by the rays of the headlights. At Derby 400 feet of the trestle was swept away by floating ice and left nothing but the rails hanging in the air on Saturday morning.
 Near Philmont, N. Y, a freight train ran into washout Saturday morning on the Harlem Division and Engineer Stewart, Fireman Wa'ermeyer and Brakeman Clark were killed and Brake. man Thomas O'Connor badly injured.
 Another washout at Boston Corners delayed wrecking train a long time before it could reach the scene of the disaster. There was also a washout of three quarters of . mile of track at Wassaic, but trains were running again Sunday.
 Saturday night the roadbed of the Central New England railroad at Ore Hill sagged ten inches in places but trains were run over it. On Sunday afternoon the 0. N. E train going east was delayed an hour at West Norfolk by landslide on the track, 40 feet long and feet deep. A section man Jagged the train and no damage resulted. The train crew and others shovelled their way through. The track was somewhat washed near Tariffville. but the train passed over and on to Hartford.
 At East Canaan the highway bridge on the main road over the Whiting river became impossible Friday night. The water and ice tore away the west abut- ment and the bridge dropped down on to the dirt. It was temper .rily repair ed so that light teams could cross it on Monday.
 At Collinsville the wooden spiles to the Consolidated" railroad bridge were washed away Saturday by the ice, and trains used great care in passing over.
 At Danbury on Saturday, Burris Whitney, colored, 43. fell into Still river and was drowned. His body was recovered under the White street bridge.
