AN EXCHANGE says that it may
sound little startling, but it is said to
be true that more young men are learn
ing trades in the penitentiaries than
out Of them because parents are trying
to make clerks, doctors lawyers aud
even preachers out Of material that is in
tended for carpenters, blacksmiths and
other trades for mechanics. The trouble
is that boys are eager to avoid the labor
Of life and are TOO anxious to follow a
calling that does not soil their hands

WISCONSIN is one Of the few states
in the union in which the farmer boys
are not deserving the farm for city life.
Statistics which have recently been
compiled show the city population to be
37.3 per cent. of the entire population
of the United States while the country
population is 81. and the suburban 1Oo.
In 1890 the rural population was 57.3
per cent of the entire population. In
Maine, Now York, New Hampshire, Yer
mont. Massachusetts, and New Jersey
there has been q steady loss in the rurai
population, which has gone to the cities
and towns In Rhode Island. Connectl-
cut and Pennsylvania there is q slight
gain in the rural population. Statisti-
clans believe the movement OF rural
population to the cities is because OF the
increased facilities for education. The
allurements of the city caused relative
loss of "a per cent in the rural popula'
ton in 1900, as compared with the cen
sus figures Of 1890 In all sections of the
United States in which are large cities
and towns the rural population has de-
creased with a corresponding increase
in the city population. This was practl-
cally true in the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Nebraska and Kansas. The
rural population in the states of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and the Dakatos was in
creased by the people from the cities
leaving and going to the country.

A Scattering Bath

In the New Letters and Memories of
Jane Welsh Carlyle" is letter from
that witty lady written from a health
resort, in which she gives an amusing
description of her experience under
medical treatment:
"A bath woman in thick white fan
mel gown, like white Russian bear,
came to my bedside at 6 in the morning
and swathed me tightly, like mummy,
first in dry blankets, then heaped the
feather bed and bedclothes atop of me,
leaving only my face uncovered, then
went away for an hour, committing me
to what Paulet calls my distract ideas
and the sense of suffocation, all the
blood in my body seeming to get press
ed up into my head.
"Only one thought remained to me
could I roll myself over, feather ped
and all, on to the floor and then roll on
toward the bell, if there were one, and
ring 1t with my teeth? l tried with SUI
perhuman effort, but in vain. l was a
mummy and no mistake. So nothing re
manned to me but to put off going rag
ing mad till the last possible moment.
when the bath woman came back at
she was rather shocked at my state;
put me in shallow bath and. poured
| several pitchers of water over me to
compose my mind. 1t shattered me all
to tatters"

The Truth in Il Nutshell.
Editor Palatka News:

Having seen articles in some of our
state papers asking for Mr.. Davis
platform, can say from my knowl-
edge of the Hon. r. w. Davis it is
the platform of Democracy. Voters
not satisfied with that kind of plat
form should not vote at Democratic
primaries. "Our Bob is the plat
form on which the people stand-all
live oak, foot thick, clear from
knots and free Of wind shakes.
Not so thoroughly polished if rubbed

to do mean act or work against the
interests of the people you will get
your fingers full of splinters.
He is one of'our own kind-wouid
stand on his head or fall down stairs
to make wrong right.
After the people have made nm
Governor of Florida, the other can
didates can go way back and attend

manner. This is the truth in a nut

MANIFESTATION EnglI.h. ;,

There is an old fallacy that Anglo
Saxon words are the best. The fallacy
is based on the belief that words of
Anglo-Saxon origin are more simple
and vigorous than those derived from
Latin. In point of fact, some Anglo
Saxon words are obscure and long, and
many of our commonest, most simple
words are from the Latin. The Lon
don News tells story in point.
A barrister more remarkable for the
vigor of his address to juries than for
his learning was commenting on the
proceeding of the other party in case
under trial.
II do not know what gloss my
learned friend is going to put upon this
matter, but will not mince my words.

A little too much rain during the
past few weeks. and especially the
past week, has greatly retarded gath
errng hay and fodder. Our people
are not fully posted as vet in the
capabilities of COW peas and corn fod-
der to resist injury by being exposed
to the weather or being housed semi
cured. There will be no need of inn
porting hay here this year as oil are
alive to the necessity of putting up
such an abundance as TO prevent it,
A fair acreage of Irish potatoes
have been planted for the fall crop.
Another week will see many acres
put in. We use the culls from the
spring crop for seed.
Some talk of trying celery. For
want OF definite information regard
ing the method to pursue only few
test patches will be put in.
Onions and lettuce will be the
main trucking crops, while some
cabbage will be put in to fill the
needs of that vegetable.

The time so spent is ever at loss to
the proper and successful teaching OF

Good order should be enforced by

Some very fine grapes are exhibited
among our people. Mr.. Harrison has
an arbor of the muscadine quality on
which bushels of as fine fruit as ever
seen is now ripening. Our hammock
lands do grow vines. A great wine
and grape juice industry could be
successfully established here. Some
few late peaches are to be found.
They lack the sweetness and flavor
of the spring varieties but would be
excellent for canning owing to their
tart flavor.

chase of another large trsct of land

Death of Mrs. A. Y. Driver.

Mrs. A. V. Driver died at her
home in this place at 5 o'clock on the
morning of Wednesday, Aug. 10Th,
after all illness of only five days.
The funeral occurred from the house
on Thursday, the service being con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. d. NJ. Reeves of
the Presbyterian church, and there
was a large attendance of sympa-
thizing friends and neighbors.
There is something ineXpressibly
sad in the death of this excellent
woInan--this devoted wife and
mother-not the least of which is
the fact that in her death five little
children are deprived of mothers
care at time in life when it is most
needed. Then the devoted husband,
who left home only n week before
when all was well with his family,
was not appraised Of his wife illness
until it was too late, arriving some
hours after death had claimed her.
Mrs. Driver was taken ill with cry
sipclas on Friday the 18th, On Sun
day she sent for Doctor Sprague
who diagnosed the case, but who had
difficulty to make his patient con-
slider her illness as serious. On Mon
day Mr. Driver was notified, but as
his camp is situated somes miles
from IL pOstOtfice he did not arrive on
Tuesday, when Mr.. Lastinger was
dispatched to bring him. The mes
senger arrived late on Tuesday night,
and when it was impossible to catch
a train home before the next day.
Mr.. Driver arrived at 3 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon, some hours after
his wife's death.
Mrs. Driver has lived in Crescent
City some four years, and in that
time had greatly endeared herself to
many of our people. The suddenness
of her death was shock to the whole
community and great sympathy is
felt for the five interesting and now
motherless children.
Mr.. Driver expects soon to take his
family to his new turpentine camp
near Indian Springs, Volusla Co.,
an arrangement he and his now de-
ceased wife had perfected only two
weeks ago. The family will leave in
about two weeks.
Mr.. Driver asks the News to thank
for him all those good neighbors. who
so kindly and devotodly ministered
to his wife during her illness and
who were with her in the hour of
death, easing the way and giving
consolation to his stricken children.
