Annabel Lee.

AnnsbeI Lee.
It was many and many year ago.
In a kingdom by the sea,
That maiden live1 whom you may know
BY the name of Annabel Lee.
And this maiden lived with no other
thought
Thar to love and be loved by mo.
I was a child and she was child
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was moro
than love.
and my Annabcl Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs OF
heaven coveted her and me.
The angels not SO happy in heaven.
Went envyins her and me
Yes that was the reason. as all men
know,
In this Kingdom by the sea,
That the wind came out OF the cloud by
night.
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love 1t was stronger by far than
the love
OF those who were older than we.
OF many far wiser than we.
And neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever discover my soul from the sou
of the beautiful Annabel Lee,
For the moon never beams without BRING
ing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee,
And the stars never rise but I feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee
And SO all the nighttide lie down by
the side
OF nv darling, my darling. my life and
my bride.
In her sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea-

A Later Version.

Mary had a little ram which was
her only pet; and all the second
reader folksare telling Of him yet.
He wandered in the meadow with
butterflies and bees; his fleece as
white as cotton; his wool was full
of heas. He followed her to
school one day-'twas early in
the spring; the teacher put him
in a class, but he didn't know q
thing. And so he fired him out
of doors, but still he fingered near,
and when the teachers back was
turned he smote..him in the rear.
1t struck him like a thousand
brick; the sight was awful grand,
and now the teacher don't sit
down-he says he'd rather stand,
What made him butt the teacher
sol" the eager children cried.

ly spoiled too" But Mary knew
he wasn't cause his mother was a

The Kansas City Journal and
Topeka Herald, which are re-
garded as the Rockefeller Santa
Fe organs, are devoting a great
deal of time to the Democratic
state committee, although the re-
porters for these papers seldom
visit headquarters in search of
news. Nearly every day the
Journal and Herald print stories
about ''quarrels" among men who
are managing the Democratic CAM
paign, all of which are false.
There has not been a single dis
turbance since the campaign
opened, Harmony prevails in
every department. Friends of
the Harris ticket are cautioned
not to believe the tales of strife
reported by the papers named.
Local managers and newspaper
men are invited to visit Topeka,
getacouanited with the operations
at headquarters and see for them
selves how things are running.
Everybody at headquarters is
working hard for the success of
the campaign, and the correspon-
dence has grown so voluminous
that two senographers are needed
to take care of it.

admit that their greatest danger
is in the farming communities, and

ties that the record of Colonel
Harris as a statesman and a gentle

The present average price of
kerosene oil in Kansas is eight
cents a gallon. Before the pas
sage of the anti discrimination
law and the maximum freight
rate law the average price was
fourteen cents a gallon. The re-
duction in two years has amounted
to a faction less than IS per cent.
The average daily consumption of
kerosene and gasoline in Kansas
is 100000 gallons. This reduc-
ton of 6 cents a gallon means
saving of $4,000 a day to the con.
of the state. This
amount stays in the pockets of

Under the lew law the voter may

the feed and of the milk was kept.
At the end of the year it was found
the cattle had consumed $3.50 worth
of feed and produced $25 worth of
milk The farmer had lost $3.50 on
each cow in his herd, or something
like $780, In other words, he was not
even getting full market price for all
the feed he was giving his cattle. In
return for all his work he had re-
ceived rather low price for his feed,
and had large amount of manure,
but had not really received any pay
for his work An interesting sequel
to this incident is related The same
herd was bought by the experiment
station and fed under the control of
the management. AT the end of the
next year it was found that the cows
had eaten $2S worth of feed and had
produced each about $3S worth of
milk. A result which shows there is
much in good management and a
study of the feed market.

Alfalfa.

If you are engaged in farming on
sufficiently large scale to keep stock,
we hape that you are planning to try
alfalfa this fall, if you have not al
ready done So There is no doubt
that it is the best forage plant, where
it thrives 1t is also certain that it
has been successfully grown in this
state and it may be that it will do
we'll ON your farm, if you will give
it fair chance.
Remember that an abundance Of
we'll rotted stable manure is a great
advantage in getting it established
In Florida, the seed is best sown in
the fall, we do not know that tests
have been made which settle the best
month, but we think that November
is probably the most favorable time.
Get your seed early and have it
tested to be sure that it is free from
dOdder and other foul seeds. Give it
a place on the best soil that you have.
If it does fairly we'll the first year,
you can expect it to- do much better
after it gets we'll established. It
should improve for several years.
There are some who have been testing
alfalfa for a year or two back, we
should be glad to hear from them as
to the result of their experience.

Carrying Concealed Weapons.

A number of our state exchanges
have much to say about the law per-
hitting the licensing of certain parties
to carry pistols.
The Constitution of the United
States says that ''The right of the
people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed.'
In view of this fact, we do not
believe that any law forbidding the
carrying of arms would stand the
test if carried to the United States
Supreme Court Still we are no more
in favor of the carrying of concealed
weapons than any of our brethren.
We have no objection to law i'm
posing as heavy a fine as is desired
upon any one who is convicted of
carrying concealed weapons, be he
officer or private citizen. Let those
who wish to go armed put ON belt
and holster and carry one or two
pistols if they so desire, but do not
license any one to carry them con-
cealed

Japanese Sugar Cane.

The universal testimony, of those
who have tested the Japanese cane,
is that it is a wonderful forage plant,
whatever may be it's value for syrup,
etc We mention this now, to call
your attention to the fact that you can
secure a stock Of cane for seed much
cheaper in the fall than in the spring.
Also that when you have it on hand,
you can then plant it, when you think
best without waiting for possible de-
lay in shipping or in course Of trans
portation. 1t can be shipped more
safely in the fall than it can after it
begins to push out it's sprouts in the
spring Everything points to the wis
dom of securing your stock now.

A Successful Planter.

Chas. NJ. Mckinney, of Louise, one
of the most extensive and successful
farmers in Alachua county, was in the
city Monday.
Mr.. Mckinney is a champion sweet
potato grower. Last year he raised
2,2O0 bushels of a choice variety,
which sold readily in the Atlanta
markets at fabulous prices. He has
this year planted a tract of twenty
six acres, from which he expects to
harvest 5000 bushels, or 200 bushels
to the acre. He states that he has
already contracted for the delivery of
this crop, which will pay him hand
sOmely f. O. b. in Louise.
Florida needs more such farmers as
