THE GAME OF LIFE.
Your own Resolution, and Not Fate,
Deals the Cards.

Your own Resolution, and Not Fate,
Deals the Cards.
Many man has tried to Justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him, that he must pick them up and
play the game and that no effort, how
ever great, on his part could materially
change the result. But, my young
friend, the fate that deals your cards
Is in the main your own resolution.
The result of the game does not rest
with fate or destiny, but with you.
You will take the trick if you have the
superior energy, ability and determine
ton requisite to take it, You have the
power within yourself to change the
value of the cards which, you say, fate
has dealt you. The game depends upon
your training, upon the way you are
disciplined to seize and use your op-
portunitles and upon your ability to
put grit in the place Of superior advan-
tages
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients to lawyers and pa
tients to physicians, put commonplace
clergymen in uncommon pulpits and
place the sons Of the rich at the head
of great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarcely
any experience, while poor youths
with greater ability and more expert
ence often have to fight their way for
years to obtain ordinary situations,
are you justified in starting out with
out chart or in leaving place for
luck In your programme? What would
you think of the captain of great
liner who would start out to sea with
out any port in view and trust to luck
to land his precious cargo safely?
Did you ever know of a strong young
man making out his life programme
and depending upon chance to carry
out any part of 1t? Men who depend
upon "luck" do not think it worth
while to make thorough preparation
for success. They are not willing to
pay the regular price for it. They are
looking for bargains. They are hunting
for short cuts to success,
Power gravitates to the man who
knows how. Luck is the tide, nothing
more. The strong man rows with 1t if
it makes toward his port. He rows
against it If it flows the other way
Success.

| - "A Doiidiu 10 mere lOr week OF
ten days to look after his orange
grove and see his friends. Mr.. Bal
lard now lives at Richmond, Lake
Co., where he has big kaolin interests
and Is manager of the mine. During
the past summer he has been enjoy
ing a rest at northern mountain re-
sorts.
II. G. Hennig, superintendent of
the "Lisnaro" grove, says that this
grove will ship about 1000 boxes of
oranges this season. He made his
first shipment of round oranges on
Monday. Mr.. Hennig is a most
painstaking manager and the Lisna-
no grove, under his direction has
been kept in fine condition and made
good progress this season. Lisnaro
will be heavy bearer the coming
year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ira G. Pratt of Crop
sey, ILL.,, arrived on Friday of last
week and for the time being and I'M
til they can get their own home
ready. are living in the G. A. Pratt
residence With them is their son,
Mr.. George w. Pratt, and Mrs. Pratt
Of Onarga,, ILL.,, and Mesdames Ash
ley and Paine also from the same
section of Illinois. This party of
pleasant people will remain here all
winter, and constitutes the advance
guard of our winter visitors for the
season of 1905-07.
The street lamps and posts were
placed In position this week, and for
all we know the lights are already
on. The lamps are beautiful and
should shed a bright light on the
streets. This is one more sensible
improvement the town has made
and one that is on a par with the
Central avenue sidewalk. Crescent
City is now getting to the fore, and
il getting good run for the tax
money her citizens have been paying
for the privilege of being one of the
towns to be dignified with mayor
and board of aldermen.
Well colored fruit has been going
forward all this week and on Mon
day the number of boxes ran into the
hundreds. There were big ship
ments from the Haw Creek Security
Grove Co., Chas. s. Gowen, Capt. j.
w. Miller and Collins B. Hubbard's
"Lisnaro" grove. This latter grove
sent forward a lot of well colored
round oranges. There were many
tangerines from Haw Greek, and
grapefruit from the Gowen and Mil
Ter groves. On Wednesday Squire
J. l.. Burton made a heavy shipment
of tangerines which were nicely col
ored. Mr.. Burton has one of the
most promising tangerine groves in
this section and for the size of his
trees has probably the best crop.
1t evidently does not pay to raise
turkeys in this section, else there is
knack Of procedure not generally
understood. Mrs. Baker, the lady
now living on the old Hicks place
near Fruitland, where she conducts
large farm, started in the season
with 40 young turkeys, now she has
two. They have all died, not all at
one time, but afew each week until
nearly all are now beyond the perils of
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mrs.
Baker states that she had hoped to
supply the Palatka market this holt
day time, now she can not supply
the requirements of her own table.
She has a large farm and an ideal
range for turkeys and other fowl.
She takes the best care of them,
and yet hea efforts to raise them
have proved a total failure.

The Coming Bible Conference.

The News has received the follow
ing letter from Rev. L. s. CHATTER,
president of the Southfield Bible
Conference association. which tells
of the plans for the coming meeting.
The News gladly gives place to the
letter In full:
East Mortified, Mass.
Nov. 2, 1905.
Dear Mr.. Russell:
No doubt many friends, in and
about Crescent City, are anxious to
know something of the plans for q
Conference the coming season, and
therefore write you the following
facts.
The Conference is to be held from
February 18th to March 4th. The
list of speakers is well made up. We
expect Rev. James M. Gray ID. ID. OF
Chicago, Dean of the Moody Bible
Institute as the leading speaker. AL
SO DR.. Elmo Harris, President of the
Canadian Bible School in Toronto,
Mr.. A. g. Gaebelein and myself.
Mr.. Stebbins will help In the music
as heretofore.
There is q very large and increas-
ing interest in this Conference all
through the north, and everything
points to o large attendance. We
will doubtless need every available
place for entertainment, and hope
the people will be willing to make a
real effort, IL need be, to provide for
these guests We are urging that
entertainment be secured as early as
possible.
The plan of the Conference will be
unchanged, the teaching being along
| the same general lines.
It has come to me indirectly, that
some of the past teaching seemed to
some to be unimportant and narrow.
