The Poets Impromptu.

Edward Young, the author of might
Thoughts" was man of the world
and shrewd and caustic witeas well
as a poet and the rector of st. Mary's
church at Welwyn. 1t was there, in
the garden of the rectory, that he COM
posed some of the best impromptu
verses known. He was walking with
two ladies when some one summoned
him to the house. But his companions
were agreeable, and he was in no
haste to leave them Turning as he
reached the gate, he said:
Thus Adam looked when from the garden
driven
And thus disputed orders sent from
heaven.
Like him CO. and yet to go am loath;
Like him go, for angels drove us both.
Hard was his fate, but mine still more un-
kind
His Eve went with him, but mine stays
behind,

How Nerve Energy Is Wasted.

So many people needlessly and reck-
lessly waste their nerve energy. They
drum the chair or the desk with their
fingers or tap the floor with their toes;
they hold their hands; they sit in a
rocking chair and rock for very dear
life. If they go upstairs they make
the whole body do the work that was
intended only for the legs; if they write
or sew they get down to it with a
vengeance and contract their brows
and wrinkle their foreheads and grind
their teeth.
If they have an unusual task to do
they screw and contract and comfort
every muscle of the body, making
themselves tense and rigid all over,
when the work perhaps requires but
one set Of muscles or perhaps the mind
only, as the case may me.
Wasting nerve energy; frittering it
away
Little things, to be sure. But little
things have way of adding them
selves up into big things. - Medical

Those who are seeking through
study of superior men to make them
selves at least less inferior are often
puzzled and baffled by the discovery
Of characteristics that seem absolute
ly incompatible with greatness. There
is hardly great man whose life is at
all accurately known in whom there
was not weakness that would de-
stroy an ordinary man-sometimes
mental weakness, as utter lack of
Judgment; sometimes moral weak
ness; again, physical weakness.
But is there on record single case
OF a great man who had not through
his character certain toughness of
fiber which made him free from the
common weakness of whining and
rushing. about for refuge at the first
black lift Of adversely? Is not that
fundamental sense of insecurity, or
inability 10 stand alone, the great en-
envy we all have to fight? Is it not
the enemy that drives some to the
false courage of drink, others to stink
and crawl along the byways of indi-
rection and crime, many, many others

EARL KING. 2|8|(
Record, 2:151a. Sd Heat in Race.

Earl King trotted another race the fol-
lowing day and trOtted the Sd heat in 2:15H.
Earl King is handsome bay stallion, 15A
hands high and weighs 1850 pounds. He was
sired by Vicking 2:19A, the sire of ten with
records of from 2:'5A to 2:2SA and sire of
the dams of five with records from 2:12A to
2:29H.
Earl Kings dam Bess Bright by John
2:19A to 1924. Earl Kings fst and I'd dams
have produced one each with records better
than 300.
Earl King. 2:15h is too well known to the
patrons of trOtting and road stations
throughout Grant and adjoining counties to
need any unnecessary amount Of advertis-
ing as is usually used by stallion owners
When new stallion comes into commun-
ity and receives more patronage the second
year of his appearance than any stallion of
his class had heretofore it is certainly
proof enough of his worth. While there
have been many good stations in this local
ity for yeats Earl King 2:15h surpaSses ALL
taking into consideration size, style, breed
ing, action and speed. We make this asser-
ton without fear of contradiction. He was
shown in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois; has
been in the ring forty-six times and carried
away forty two first premiums Whenever
ne goes into show ring he appears to say
Il am from Missouri. -
Earl King will make the season of 1904 as
follows: Fridays and Saturdays at by er's
livery barn, Ian caster; the fore part of the
week at Bloomington.
Terms: $1,000 to insure a living colt.

John Bright had curious method of
guarding against any failure of men,
ory or language in his public speeches.
When he had to deliver a speech Of
Importance he wrote sort Of essay on
the subject and tore it up. He then
wrote another and treated it in the
same way, and finally third. In this
way he considered that he had not only
exhausted his own thoughts upon the
matter in hand, but had gained such a
command over the language in which
it could be expressed that he could new
er be at a loss for the right word.

Above 5000 crates of peaches have
been shipped from Florahome up to

would have been better had more
care been observed in fertiliZing,

suit that there would have been few

have produced a greater profit. 1t

TotnI Orange shIpments.

Two weeks ago the last Of the or
angcs for this season were shipped
from Crescent City, the fruit being
from the groves of Capt. j. w. Mil
Ter and Chas. 5. Gowen.
Since then through the courtesy
of r. O. Burton, traffic manager OF
fine steamer Crescent, and James
Padgett. ir., agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line. the News has been en-
obled to secure figures showing the
total shipments ofcitrus fruit Cor
,nres. grape fruit and tangerines)
from Crescent City during the seas
on of 1861. These figures show that
tho Crescent carried out of here IL
522 boxes, aud that the Atlantic
Coast Line carried l.SlO boxes, II to-
ta1 Of 1892 boxes for the season.
During the month of October last
tbo steamer Crescent was on the
wavs at jacksonville undergoing re-
noirs and being enlarged, ana curing
tbot month several shipments We're
made by the steamer McNeili' OF
which no account has been obtained.
Duriug that month w. B. Campbell
and J. c. Grimsley were among those
who shipped via the Mcneil. and
# is conservatively estimated that
enough boxes were shipped at that
t;me TO swell the total to 10000 boxes
from Crescent City for the season
The present prospects for the com
inc season are generally good, and
those in position to make estimates
orc confident that at least 10000 box
es will be shipped from here the com
