FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, But Health as Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-
Gus, who suffer from indigestion or dys-
pepSia, headache, biliousness, or torpid
liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in
the morning and poor appetite. 1T be-
comes necessary to turn to some tonic or
strengthened which will assist Nature
and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into its proper condition. 1t
is becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants
and roots.

LINCOLN'S CARELESSNESS.
His Hat His FavOrite Receptacle For
Letters and Papers.

His Hat His Favorite Receptacle For
Letters and Papers.
When Lincoln was postmaster Of
New Salem he used TO tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they We're addressed AS this
is Il fair example of his business sys-
TEN, 1t may readily be imagined that
the office Of Stuart & Lincoln was not
a model establishment, where there
was place for everything and every
thing in its place. And it was not. In
deed, as a managing clerk the junior
partner would have been a hopeless
failure, and as an attorney, in the
technical sense of the term, he would
never have distinguished himself. He
disliked everything connected with the
drudgery Of legal routine, hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas, despis-
ed the artificialities and reinements
which were even then beginning to
creep into the pleadings and disregard
ed forms whenever it was possible to
do so.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else or methodical about the man, and
in all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful, orderly, ex-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers were,
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made to better the disorder was to
write on one of his bundles Of papers
which Uttered his desk, when you
can't find it anywhere else. look in
this" But that was long after the firm
OF Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved, and
even then we find him explaining to a
correspondent that he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it, which shows he
had not wholly outgrown the habit Of
his postoffice days. Indeed. his hat con-
tinued to be his favorite receptacle for
papers as long as he lived. and he
never acquired any sense of order:

AN ORANGE GROVE.
Modern Methods In Cultivating the
Gold of the Orchard.

Modern Methods In CHltivating the
Gold of the Orchard.
You are certainly entitled TO look
through that wire fence and see ali that
constitutes an orange orchard There
are 200 round headed trees, about
twelve feet i'll diameter. The fruit
looks immensely rs if it had been arti-
ticially put in place. Really those
would pass for POO Christmas trees.
Does nature do this sort Of work any
where else? You forget the cherry trees
in your northern orchard. You have be-
come so familiar with the scarlet Glob-
ules that hang all over those trees,
with orioles and robins shouting ap-
prevail. and tnnagers with indigo birds
sitting in the apple tree overhead. that
you cannot fully see and appreciate the
charm. But Won certainly have not for
gotten the glory of 4 Mcintosh red APP
pie tree in October or indeed whole
orchard of ripe Northern Spies, Spleen
burgs and Kings. Yet the orange has a
glory all its own. 1t is the gold Of the
orchard. You thought the trees grew in
groves. but here they are iii long. reg
ular rows" That was ,sord borrow
ed from the wild orange that in Span
ish days came up where they might
and were seldom transplanted. They
grew as those wild persimmons grow
at the edge OF the orchard o" as pines
and naples grow. But your modern
orange trees are grown in long rows to
be cultivated with plows and horses.
The real orange tree should stand
about twenty-five or thirty feet high.
with trunk of five or six inches. Its
foliage is dense and Il rich green. 1t is
grand tree to sit beneath ut midday
and drink the Juices of the fruit Instead
of water-it is distilled perfectly. But
these trees are round and Tow headed,
and one must stop to get beneath
them. They arc made of the CRATER
shoots that came mp around the old
trees after 1.-THE freeze. They are more
convenient to spray. to protect from
the blizzard. while the fruit is more
easily gathered. You can walk all
about that orchard and reach half the
fruit without ii ladder. 1t is Il good il
lustration Of how good sometimes
comes out OF evil.
Different shapes" To be sure
There are quite as many varieties of
oranges In. This orchard as there are of
apples or plumS In most Of your north
ern orchards - fifteen or twenty. at
least. The grower knows them all by
name and can tell them all by the
shape and'the quality. He does not go
at random'and pick any fine big orange
for his own eating. but he takes his
se!ection-the King or the Homosasa,
or the Jaffa. or the Ruby. or Parson
Brown, or Satsuma. or possibly the
tangerine. He fills his pocket with Sc
lected varieties ard then goes to that
pine grove over there and peels them

ROBBED AND BEATEN

Galveston, July a-F f. Barnhiil.
"a lawyer of Houston, was brutally as
sauited and robbed OF SIS by negro
Saturday night Mr.. Barnhill was
found In the alley on Twenty sixth

streets, yesterday morning about Ave
O'Clock and sent to the hospital He
VAS conscious but helpless and very
weak from the loss of blood. His in
iuries. although serious are not ne
eessarily dangerous It appears that
after the assault he was thrown into
the alley and fell, striking on the
pipe, which inflicted a deep cut on the
back part of his head.
According to the statement of Mr.
Barnhill he was passing the alley
about 10.30 O'Clock Saturday night,
when his assailant, whom he thought
10 be white man, stepped out and
asked for a quarter and then struck
him and relieved him of his money.
Sergeant Curtis, Detevtive Waters
and Officers VIII Johnson and John
Smith were assigned to the case and
before 1 O'Clock they had a negro in
Jail, the arrest being made by Officers
Johnson and Smith, who found the
man in a house mile from the scene
of the robbery. He had returned to
the alley yesterday morning and find
ing his victim still there dragged the
helpless form into a passageway be-
hind saloon and gave the alarm.
The negro is a well known police
character, having served term in
the penitentiary for stabbing a man
and being arrested several times for
robbery.

Negroes constitute 116 per cent
