THE PERVERsITY OF Gor,F
 BALLS


 Of all the balls used in the realm of sport the golf ball Is the most per verse. A football has been known to seek adventures on the sluggish waters of canal; @ cricket ball has been ex- tracted from out of a rainwater nine while tennis balls have behaved in an extraordinary manner on more than one occasion, even to the length of splitting woman's parasol, but the ways of the balls used in these sports are angelic In comparison with the habits and customs of the golf bali.
 The golf ball, notwithstanding it's core of India rubber, Is the most hard hearted ball fabricated A player may imagine that he is on good terms with his ball when he is playing at the ton of his game, but careful study of the golf ball and it's peculiar obde of nor- als only shows that the little white pil- lule on these occasions is biding it's time and is merely encouraging the man behind the club for the purpose of letting him down badly when conf dence has lured him on to taking mon himself some heavy task, And not only is it conscienceless, but it is also entirely bereft of the sporting instinct.
 Give a golf ball a chance to lose it. self and 1t will immediately accept it, No ball with a grain of sporting in- stinct after it had been hit hard and true from off the tee would seek to hide itself, but golf ball will do so without a moments thought.-Macmil- lan's Magazine. aT

 He narrowly escaped being burned to death. As he staggered to the ton he cried fire, and then fell to the floor in a faint.
 Some of those fin the store turned the alarm in, while others carried Mokens to the rear of Florest Moore's store next door, where he recovered,
 The fire was kept confined to the front part of the cellar, The damage will likely amount to $500, which Mr Scott says is covered by insurance. The damage is mostly to the building which is owned by Charles A. White.
 M. Scott said the fire started near the gas meter, and he believes that the cellar was full of gas. He said that there was no gasoline in the cellar. and that the gasoline is kept in big tank in the back yard.
 Chief Fancher took exception to this view of the situation, and says that to his mind there was undoubtedly some gasoline in the cellar.

 Is Needed in the Present State of so-
 cial Development.
 Our social organization has devel- oped to stage where the old right eousness is not enough, says F. A. Ross in the Atlantic. We need an an- nual supplement to the Decalog,,e The growth of credit institutions, the spread of fiduciary relations the en- meshing of industry in law, the inter- lacingof government and business. the multiplication of boards and inspectors --benefcent as they all are, they invite to sin. What gateways they open to greed! What fresh parasites they let in on us! How idle in our new situa- ton to intone the old litanies!
 Tho reality of this close-knit life is not to be seen and touched; it must be thought. The sins 1t opens the door to are to be discerned by knitting the brows rather than by opening the eyes.
 It takes imagination to see that boz gus medical diploma, lying advertise ment and fake testimonial are death- dealing Instruments.
 It takes imagination to see that sav- ings bank wrecker loan shark and in- yestment swindler in taking livelihoods take lives.
 It takes imagination to see that the business of debauching voters, fixing juries, seducing lawmakers and cor rupting public servants is like saving through the props of a crowded grand stand.

When Il q Store SuMeisntIy Advsr-
tfaaA.

A merchant Of a western city recent
" made trip TO New York. Calling
upon business friend he was asked,
How does your store really compare
with others in your line, in your cityE
Are you setting or following the pace?"
For reply the merchant took from his
handbag several late issues Of his lead
ing home papers, and said: LOOK at
these papers. | will mark for you my
advertisement and those Of my compel
itors for three successive days. Judging
from these ads, what Is your opinion Of
how my store stands in the racer"
After some consideration, and the use
Of measuring tape, the friend replied:
ION the showing here made-if it rep
resents the general average for longer
period-your store stands first in your
line in your CITY,"
Eyes, it Is true that in that showing
] use eight inches more than my next
competitor, but it is safe to estimate a
stores importance upon the space 1t oc-
cupies in It's advertisements"
"Safe enough" replied the friend,
Ito make it a general rule among bust
ness men. Your newspaper advertising
In an outlet for your enterprise, and a
big enterprise requires a big outlet.
"Now, as a matter of fact, continued
the merchant, my store is still second
in volume of business done in my line in
our city. But-two years ago it was
fifth. At that time / concluded that
would use as much space in our leading
newspaper as my competitor used, al
though such campaign seemed to be
beyond my real resources. ! was then
doing less than half the business as the
biggest store j" nc ity- employing less
than half as many clerks, occupying a
building a third as large, At the end
of thefirst year found that had had
less worry over the big advertising bills
than had previously had over the small
ones-and that | was fourth in the pro-
cession.
Then / concluded to use little more
space in this newspaper than the big
gest store WAS using and for the year
past have been doing that. The re-
suit is that now am a good second in
the race--and year from now the other
man will have changed places with me.
1.-THE other man has professed to be-
leve would tire of paying big fO-
space, but my experience is that it
seems easier to pay bill of a hundred
dollars when there is a balance in the
bank Of two hundred, than it is to pay
bill of fifty dollars with a balance of
seventy.fve. And | have found that
sufficient advertising has made change
Of about that proportion in my financial
affairs. Lake City Reporter.

Captain K. E. Rose, State Chemist,
returned from the Mobile Convention Of
Interstate Cane Growers on Monday.
He informs the True-Democrat that
this, the fourth animal convention, was
probably the best attended and most
interesting Of any convention held.
Florida was we'll represented, delegates
from all parts Of the State from Man
atee TO Pensacola we're present. One
Of the features Of the convention was a
large display Of "cane tassels" from
Manatee. Few Of the delegates from
other States had seen, or even knew,
that cane fully natures its seed and
"tassels" in Florida.
DR.. w. G. Stubs, Of Louisiana, gave
the results Of his examination OF Geor-
gia and Florida cane fields, with the
analysis of the canes Of these States,
showing that Florida produced far richer
yields than the alluvial lands Of Louis
lana, and that the tonnage, under
proper conditions Of culture and fertil-
izing, was equal TO that Of Louisiana.
Canes from different parts Of Florida
show from II 70 IL per cent Of saccha-
rine, with very small per cent Of glu-
cose often less than | per cent. This
TO a sugar maker is fully appreciated
Handsome samples Of syrup from
Gadsden, Jackson, Santa Rosa, Walton
and other counties were exhibited.
Much general information was had.
Methods Of culture, fertilizing and man
ufacture were discussed. The papers
read by Prof. B. b. Ross, Of Alabama,
the addresses Of Dr. W. G. Stubs and
Prof. Il. f. Blouin, Of Louisiana, were
of much interest and Of great value.
They will be published in the proceed
ings of the society.
The address of Gov N b. Broward,
on the Drainage Of the Everglades,
opening a vast field Of rich tropical
sugar lands of sufficient area to furnish
the entire American consumption Of
some 3, 700, 900 tons Of sugar, only &c.,
600 Of which Is produced in the United
States, was the feature of the conven-
ton. The existence of such tract Of
land, 80 susceptible of drainage and
culture, was unknown 10 majority Of
the members. Much interest was shown
in the matter and many questions
asked of the Governor, which, as he
has fully posted himself upon all the
phases Of the subject, he was able to
readily and satisfactorily answer.
III" next meeting of the association
will d uotess be held in Tampa, where
The members can see for themselves

the most economical conditions for sue
