And it soaked in. When his friend

that thing, and before the nurseryman
left he planned for a group of fifty
different kinds of lilacs, which are
wonderful in diversity of foliage as

Why So Stingy With That Front Yard?

Are you one of those unfortunate
mortals who cannot See any special
beauty in~well grown specimens of
Towering or ornamental plants? Who
would as soon, in fact, in some cases
rather, see row of cabbages in the
front yard as anything? If so, we
commend the following, from Wal
lace's Farmer, to your consideration:
A farmer built a fine house and
filled it with good furniture. He had
splendid yard, an ideal place to fix
up. He could have made fine park
OF it SO it would have been equal to
a rich mans estate in city suburb.
lie consulted nurseryman, and he
made very low estimate of forty
dollars to begin with The farmer
threw up his hands in horror at such
hold up" as he called it.
When he was building he spared no
expense, and when he came to furnish
lngs he was generous. There was a
big looking glass that cost twenty
live dollars; a rug on the parlor floor
cost fifty dollars. But the moment he
stepped out of doors where there was
room to do something, then he balk-
ed. He wanted fve-cent shrubs and
flowers to match that fifty dollar rug.
and tree that cost over twenty-five
cents was an outrage. Mr.. Nursery
man opened up on him with hot shot
and match His rainboWs and sunsets.
but for safety told him he had better
hide when the fool-killer came that
way. Said he, "You put $4,000 in
your, house. That is all right You
could afford it. You put in $1,000
worth Of furniture. That was good.
But when you step out into Gods
great parlor of all out doors and we
want you to have your yard decent
and match His rainbows and sunsets,
His fields of green, His lakes, and
wild flowers, then you get on that
stlngy streak. What do you mean
by it? Here are two acres you have
kept for your hog pasture and dilapi-
dated machinery, and your cattle yard
comes up to the house, and you pre-
fer to raise flies instead of flowers.
Don't you know that from the mo-
ment you enter your house it depre-
ciates in value? Use that furniture
year and it becomes secondhand.
Out in that yard you plant a Colora-
do Blue spruce and in a few years it
will be worth $780, Plant some
majestic tree lilacs that in Iune will
wear crowns of glory; put in some
large beds of peonies and phlox and
other hardy perennials, plant $500
worth of choice stock, and in ten
years this farm would sell for $500
more than it would with this, yard
as it now is. Plant in masses. Don't
be SO stingy"
"Well," replied the farmer, 81 am
not interested in these things. My
hogs and cattle are good enough for
me-"
"Well,' was the reply, "you are just
insulting God. He trusted you with
this piece of land, which reaches to
the center of the earth and UP to the
stars. He has pattern of what this
place might be. You just get the pat
tern and work up to it. Standing all
around you are forms of beauty wait
ing to come in and glorify your home,
and you won't let them come. You
profess to be Christian. Did you
ever think what you must endure

Potatoes From Orlando by Refrigera-
tor Car.

We noticed large refrigerator car
standing on the Atlantic Coast Line
tracks Wednesday, and upon inquir-
ing learned that it was loaded with
two hundred and fifty barrels of fine
Irish potatoes grown by Messrs: Her
man Hillman, Post and others in the
gardens about the city to be shipped
to Pittsburg, Pa 1t is only another
evidence Of what we have been claim
ing all along, viz, that Orlando can
do these things just as we'll as other
places provided the right men take
hold Of the business.
We trust that this shipment by re-
frigerator car will open up the way
for great future industry in and
about. our city and that added to the
already growing lettuce and celery
business next season will witness a
great expansion along all these profit
able llnes.-Reporter Star.

TRANSPORTATION OF OIL IA PROFITABLE BUSINESS
Some Facts Regarding the Indiana Pipe Line Company, Disclosed in the Suit to Break up the Combine.

New York. Sept. 26.-The Indiana Pipe Line company. a subsidiary com pany of the Standard Oil made profits to the amount of $4l.O9l. .022 in 1903 on a total investment of S222S. 75S, ac- cording to figures produced by George Chesbro controller of the National Pipe Line company who appeared as a wit ness today in the federal suit against the combine.
 Chesbro testified that the Indiana Pipe Line company was a common car rier engaged only in the transporta- ton of oil. From the balance sheets of the company Frank B. Kellogg con ducting the governments case sought to show that the India.ra company was making extensive profits and that il maintained a high schedule of traiffs to prevent the shipment of oil by inde- pendent oil producers.
 Chesbro testified that the Indiana company transported practically only the oil of the Standard. Counsel for the government allege that it will be shown that the profits made by the pipe line company was in some cases twenty times the actual cost of oper- ation.

 In This Territory
Commissioner Lane Now On the Coast Will Look into Rates here.

Los Angeles. Sept 26-Commission- CT Lane, who is in the city investigat- ing certain complaints of merchants against the railroads, said that prob ably he would go to Arizona where grievances are alleged.
 The particular case which has brought Commissioner Lane here. was a shipment of furniture from Kenosha Wisconsin. It was capable of being carried in one ordinary furniture car but the ailroads packed-it in two small cars, afterward presenting a freight bill for two carloads.
 Cases similar to this" said Lane, '.are arising in all parts of the United States continually. but this is the first time the principle involved has been brought before the commission. l consider it a very important one"
 Commissioner Lane said that before returning to Washington he might go to Arizona where there is much dis satisfaction over rates.

THE POWER
 OF SCHMITZ
Still Over-Shadowing In
 Union Labor Politics
He Controlled From the Jail the Convention That Nominated Mccarthy.

San Francisco. Sept. 26.-The union labor city and county convention to- night nominated the following part al ticket and adjourned to the call of the chair for it's completion: For mayor, P. H. Mccarthy, president of the Building Trades Council; sheriff. Thos. F. O'Neill. she incumbent; city and county clerk, Harry I. Mulcrevy. the incumbent; city and county recorder. John H. Nelson. the incumbent.
 The fact that Schmitz is a prisoner in the county jail under sentence for extortion. did not keep from him the control of the convention. His pro- gram and orders were carried out. One of the eighteen delegations rebelled and bolted after Chairman Leonard had squelched fiery effort by its leader to turn the tide of battle. This futile effort indeed was the feature of the otherwise cut and dried proceed ings
 When the report of the committee on rules and order of business was adopted and the platform affirmed, the chair entertained a motion that the proceed to the nomination of a mayor.

COLLECTION OF CRUISERS FRENCH CONSUL AT HACKS Al Tiff GOLDEN CAFE AN IMMIGRATION ORDER
The Bay Cities Prepared For a Recep-
 ton of the Pacific Squadron.

San Francisco. Sept. 26.-A wireless message from the flagship West Vir- ginia, received this evening by the Goat Island station says the cruisers of Admiral Dayton's squadron are ly- ing outside and probably will pass through the Golden Gate soon after daylight tomorrow evening.
 The officials of the San Francisco, Oakland. Alameda. and Berkeley com mercial organization met this afternoon to arrange the greeting and future en- tertainment of Rear Admiral Dayton. commander-in-chie of the Pacific fleet, his officers and men. It was decided that a committee of about one hundred representative men of the Bay cities among them United States Sen ator Perkins, Congressman Knowian. and the respective mayors and board of supervisors. should accept the ten der of the governments tug Slocum to go out and meet the flagship and greet the admiral at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. A wireless was sent by Col. Draper asking what time it would be convenient to the admiral to have the reception committte board the West Virginia.
 At the time these arrangements were made the last wireless message was re- ceived saying the cruiser squadron would arrive early in the afternoon. When the subsequent message came the committee had gone its several ways and it was too late to make a change in the program.
 It is .unofficially understood that the California, the Charleston. the St. Louis. the Raleigh and the Cincinnati. now in port here will sail for target practice to Magadela Bay immediately after the arrival of Admiral Dayton's squadron tomorrow. The West Vir- ginia. the Maryland. the Colorado and the Pennsylvania probably will remain in these waters for some months. and one by one go in to dock at BremertOn navy yard for painting and overhaul ing after the transPacific voyage.
