sturdily walked into the office of the head of the concern.
 He was trif1e perturbed at the vast ness of the institution and the exclu- siveness of the office of the great MT Hope. But he rallied in a moment
 Am not I also to be a great mer- chant" he said to himself. He Is nc better than I am-only older"
 So Herman walked boldly into the presence of the great man, who frown- ed at the intrusion.
 Well?" he demanded.
 Herman looked him squarely in the eye. His momentary timidity had van ished He was In the very Inner sanc- tuary, which was the home of his dreams He felt fully confident.
 My name is Herman Corning" he said steadily. T have decided to be- come a merchant That is why I came to the city. l want to learn the busi- ness and get a start. That is why I came here. I am not afraid of hard work and I can live on small wages. Will you give me a trial?'
 The merchant had turned away with an impatient gesture when Herman be- gan. The odd way of putting the prop osition arrested his attention and the intense earnestness of the boy attract ed him.
 Why did you come to me?" he said sharply. Don't you know that depart ment heads hire the employes?'
 T wanted to talk to the head of the house" replied Herman simply
 The merchant pushed a button and a man appeared instantly
 Take this boy to Hopkins" com manded Hope, and tell him to set him to work"
 And so Herman Corning found him. self launched in merchantile life as as sistant stockkeeper at six dollars per week. He worked hard and gave no thought to anything outside the bus mess of the department. He did so much work that his fellow employees disliked him. Hopkins noted the i'm proved condition of the stock. however and after few months Herman had his wages raised to eight dollars. He cared little for this. He was perfecting his knowledge of the stock and of prices. Meanwhile he watched the statesmen and customers like a cat.
 There was a whole shelfful of but tons of ancient vintage. which Her man noticed were never called for. One day Houston, a salesman. was trying to attend to two customers.

 Wilson came here a few weeks ago and. being slave to liquor. did some things he would not have done, 1t was alleged, had he been in his right senses. He passed drafts in this city which raised a suspicion as to their worth. and one from whom he had ob- tained $25 by this means, made charge against him of being a danger ous and suspicious character, and he was held in jail until the draft was sent on to Gadsden for investigation It was promptly taken up by the father of Wilson, who Is a man of means, and this gave him his release. Immedi- atAy after securing his release Will son tried to get money by the same means. The suspicious of the police were aroused and he was locked up.
 On this second charge, sentence was suspended on condition that he leave town at once. The Mayor relented in this decision when asked by Wilson for two days, but when he did not leave in that time, he was again ar rested. This was the case made against him today.

WIND AND RAIN STORM
FARMERS AROUND PENSACOLA
 SUFFER GREAT DAMAGE.
Heavily Laden Pear and Peach Trees Broken Down and the Fruit Rendered valueless--Lixht-
 ming Strikes Residence.

Pensacola. Fla. July 22.-(SpeciaL)-- The wind and rain storm which passed over Pensacola yesterday did much damage in this and imme mediate vicinity. Che of the most serious phases of the damage was .he breaking down of heavily laden pear and peach trees, and this before the fruit had reached such state of maturity in some cases tn It it could be used for marketing pur- poses.
 Reports from over the county re- ceived in the city this morning were that the trees had been badly broken. and that the fruit had been blown to the ground, causing the farmers the less of no inconsiderable sum. Peaches had been yielding greatly this sea- son. and the pear blight, so common in this part of the State, had not made its appearance as thickly as had been the case heretofore. The farmers were the making of money from these fruits, but the storm de- stroyed this hope to some extent.
 Shortly after noon, and during time when the storm was at its height lightning struck the beautiful resi- dence of Mrs. J. S. Leonard ol East Romano Street, and did some dam age although none of the occupants were hurt The lightning was convey ed to the residence on a wire from a telephone.

HOW HERMAN CORNING
 PAID THE PRICE
BY HOMER FISK.

fCopyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub.
 (Co.).
 Herman Corning made up his mind when a mere boy that he would be- come a successful business man and the possessor of great riches. From his earliest memory he had hated the narrow village life and the cramped home existence, where every penny had to be watched in order to make both ends meet. He dreamed of great es- establishments with hundreds of busy workers all pliable to his will. as ex- pressed from the inner office. He dreamed of meeting the greatest and most powerful men of affairs and dic- tating terms or forcing them to com promise with him.
 He read somewhere or heard some wise man say that a person could have anything he wanted if he would pay the price. He resolved to pay the price. People wondered where the son of the ploddng shoemaker acquired such ideas and many openly said that Joe Corning should beat the nonsense out of the boy before he was spoiled.
 Among all his playmates at school but one sympathized with his ambi- tions or believed in him. That one was Hannah Curtin, the grave-eyed girl with the high forehead. who always stood at the head of her class. All the rest derided him.
 T believe you will succeed, Her man." said she, seriously. and when you do I will marry you"
 will you?" asked Herman, eagerly. And then he added with a stubborn set of his square jaw, You may have to walt long time, Hannah. because if don't succeed at first I will keep on trying"
 So the compact was sealed and one fine day. when Herman was Is, he full filled the worst prophecies of the will lage gossips by going away to the great city. He was able to scrape to- gether barely money enough to get him there. but he feared nothing. He had heard the expression merchant prince" and 1t attracted his imagination. He resolved to enter mercantile life.
 Upon reaching the city he went di- rectly to the biggest wholesale house In the city, Hope. Norris & Co.,, and

George Afford Acquitted.

George Afford. white. was acquitted late yesterday afternoon in the Crir,- final Court of arson. he having been charged with firing dwelling houses some months ago at Ferry Pass, a set tlcment east of this city.
 This Is the second time this case has occupied the attention of the Grim: na Court. Last November the first .rIal was had and a conviction was secured Afford. with another white man. Jack Esleman, were arrested for the burning of three houses at Ferry Pass. Clsc- man was acquitted, but Afford was not so fortunate. He was convictc and sentenced to imprisonment in the State penitentiary for fifteen years.
 Attorneys for Afford took the case to the Florida Supreme Court on aL. peal. That tribunal remanded i: "a the lower court for new trial. and for the past three days the trial has pee a on.
 The testimony of yesterday reveale a state of things at Ferry Pass which made existence there dangerous. Wit nesses stated that boats were de- stroyed at night, timber cut adrift, a brick yard was threatened with inc er- diarism, and 1t was sworn to that &r association at the place had appropri ated $50 for the accomplishment of other things. not the least interesting of which was the calling of E. C.. Creighton. the principal prosecuting witness in the above case, to the door at night and placing rife balls through his body. Creighton. it seemed was the owner of the boats which had been destroyed. was the custodian of timber cut adrift. and was the owner of the houses burned.
 The defense did not deny that these conditions existed at the settlement, but later proved that the defendant was not responsible for the depreda- tions.
 The case all the way through, last ing through period of three days, was as interesting as any that ever oc- cupied the attention of the court.

Boys Were Handcuffed.

A depressing sight was witnessed here shortly after noon yesterday Two boys from Montgomery, named Gore and Williams, who were caught steal ins ride on the train. and who were sentenced to short terms on the county road. were handcuffed and were being taken to serve their terms with a iot of negro convicts, who were also be- ing taken to serve terms. The sigr [ of two boys. not yet in their teens, oc- ing shackeled. excited the compassion of many who saw them, and wonder was expressed that the State had n-Ver provided a place for the confinement of juv emile prisoners instead of having them mingle with hardened criminals and negroes, as in this case
 These are the two boys to whom ref. erence was made in these dispatcnrs of last Monday.
