A Course of Reading
Each year we should take a fresh
look about the world in which We live.
If God so loved this star as to make
US out of it's very dust We ought to
love to study it we'll, because here is
enacted the great drama Of mans life
and death. 1t would be an ungracious
thing for US to go on living here with
out knowing an all We can about 1t.
The evenings Of one week spent with
Geikie and Dana will do for this work
Another week with Gray will tell us
all about the plants and trees Another
week with Audubon and Agassiz will
tell us all about birds, and beasts and
fish Another week with Maury will
take US on a voyage in a glaSs-bOttom
boat more than 5000 leagues under
the sea. And, having journeyed
around the earth, we ought to make
d study of ourselves. as physical, men
tai and spiritual beings And from
the individual man We should study
man in the aggregate, as races Then
We should take up biography. and
Nor should we forget the books of art,
wherein the facts of life are idealized
and carried I'D to beauty, such as the
great dramas. poems and novels
But apart from, and above all other
books. study the Bible. 1t alone has
civilized whole nations. In it the
greatest geniuses of time tell us OF
things they caught fresh from the
skies. 1t is the one book that can full
ly lead forth the richest, deepest,
sweetest things in mans nature. Read
all other books, philosophy, poetry,
history, fiction, but if you would re-
fine your judgment, fertilize your rea-
son. wing your imagination, attain the
finest womanhood and sturdiest man
hood read this book, reverently, pray
erfulIy, daily Read. indeed the 100
great books If you have no time
make time and read them. Read, as
toll the slaves of Golconda. casting
away the rubbish and keeping the
gems. Read, to transmute facts into
life But read daily the book of con-
duct character and eternal life. For
the book which the great men of earth
have placed under their pillows while
dying is the book all should carry in
their hands while living.

Charges Graft in the comptrolisr's
For the entire four years of the in
cumbency of the late Hon. VIM. H.
Reynolds a. comptroller. the annual
reports of that official aggregated
354 pages; for the ensuing four years,
under Comptroller Groom, the annual
reports aggregated 1 $40 pages, an in
crease of more than 395 per cent in
this single item of official printing.
This enormous mass of badly
ed work was not made necessary by
any abnormal increase in the trans
actions of the office, but bears all the
ear-marks of ''put-up-job, to make
unlawful gain out of the people, and
could not have been possible under
the administration of such a man as
Reynolds.
Is it any wonder that the belief
generally prevailed that the comp
troller and the state printer were
unitedly interested in a miserable
scheme to extract the peoples money
from the state treasury for an unnec-
essarily exaggerated mass of slouchy
work?-Tailahassee True Democrat.
Unless the comptroller is a more
industrious man than the most of US
he would not take upon himself all
this labor just for a little rake off in
the printing. He can no doubt find
in his office easier roads to graft than
the one here pointed out.
locking the Stable Door After the
Horse has Fled.
The state auditor has discovered,
after an expert accountant revealed
the fact, that I. J. Mccall, formerly
clerk of Hamilton county, was
''short' in his accounts, this shortage
covering a period of two years, no
investigation having been made of
the books beyond that time At this
stage it is pertinent to ask: ''Why
did not the state auditor find this
irregularity, and at an earlier date?"
This is matter concerning the peo-
pie, and they are entitled to know
why this official neglect occurred.
The Hamilton county incident
clearly reveals official laxity or stu
pidity that renders such an office a
farce in the course of its conduct.
1t is indeed poor protection that
fails to discover peculation or short
age until long after the accomplish
ment of such acts.
And, by the way, in every case,
whether accounts are found correct or
discrepancies exist, the whole report
should be given the public.
Such is necessary because cases oc-
cur where defaIcation is found and
friends of the defalter make good the
theft on condition that silence be
maintained and the embezzling Off
cial kept from disgrace ''--DeSoto
