CouIdn't Do 1t. You Know.

The Miami News-Record says John
N. C. Stockton is the nominee Of the
Prohibitionists for Governor of Florida,
and wants to know If he intends TO let
his name be printed on the ballot, or
will decline TO run as the candidate of
that party The News-RecOrd is mis-
taken. The State convention of the Pro-
hibitiOnists made no nomination for gov
ernor, but simply endorsed Mr.. Stock
ton as the most suitable man for the
Democrats to vote for in the June pri-
mary. Mr.. Stockton submitted his
claims to the Democrats in the prima-
ries, and he will loyalty support the sue
cessful candidate. The Prohibitionists
cannot use him as instrument with which
TO defeat General Gilchrist.-Gaines-

What mother said-it didn't matter
then,
A loving word, perehanee, and then
When childish wrath came in our simple
play
A little woes beset youths rosy way.
Her sweetly gentle words dispelled the
wrath,
And coaxed the buds 10 bloom that lined
our path
Her voice was sweet to greet the morn
ing sun,
And sWeeter still, when golden days
were done,
Her soft goodnight that sent US to our
bed
II didn't matter then what mother said.
It didn't matter then. but now she's
gone,
The world lacks all its sweetness and
its dawn,
The sunbeams, coming down from heav-
ems dome,
But emphasize the loss from out the
% home.
No kindly smiles to cheer the passing
- day
No mother words to guide US on our
way
No loving arms that wait but to unfold,
When world and all grow merciless and
cold.
The kingdom there, think, is made of
such
What mother saidl Oh, now 'twould
mean 80 much.

Love nore. Hate Less.

The following little sermonette, is go
ing the rounds, credited to exchanges:
If you love, love more. If you hate,
hate less. Life is too short TO spend in
hating any one. Why war against a
mortal who Is going the same road with
US? Why not expand the flower Of life
and happiness by learning to love, by
teaching those who are near and dear
the beautiful lesson? Your hands may
be hard, but your heart need not be.
Your form may bent or ugly, but do
you know that the most beautiful Aow-
ers grow in the most rugged, unshel-
tered places? The palace for care, the
cottage for love. Not that there is no
love in a mansion; but sorrow, if we
are not very careful, business will crowd
all there is of beauty out of the heart.
THIS is why God has given the Sabbaths
and Saturday nights, that we may leave
business and have a little eheart-cleaning.

When the mulch 10 left on the year
around, find the roots como 30 the sur
face and these soon become full Of root
knot on high, sandy land, and then IN
time Of drOuth, unless Watered, these
small ro0tlets dry out and die, and the
tree Is much the worse for Il. Just 3
loose sand mulch, on high, sandy land
seems TO give me the best satisfaction
under shallow cultivation with q scufile
hoe.
The Rg will grow readily from cut
tings. In fact, the cuttings will geneI-
ally OutgrOW the rooted plant With
good care, one can get q fine lot Of fruit
the next year from cuttings or rooted
trees. have had them make q good
sized tree in one season. II you plant
cuttings you must get them when the
leaves are off the tree, almost any time
from November till the 1st Of Febru-
ary. In setting either tree or cuttings
don't fail to dig good big hole and Ill
in with old bones, palmetto roots, or
oak grubs, and lastly mix in two or
three pounds bone meal, depending on
the size Of the hole. IL may look use
less to 90 to all this trouble to plant a
stick, but you must bear in mind that
this stick will make a tree. If cut
ting, plant at an angle, and just leave
the upper bud out Of the ground. If
you have plenty Of cow manure, your
successis assured in the poorest sandy
land, but If you do not have this, then
use a liberal quantity of some good com
mercial fertilizer, containing plenty of
potash and nitrogen, and If water is
handy don't forget that.
Much more might be said in favor o.
this most wholesome and nOurishing
fruit, or flower, as the case may be, but
/ have probably written enough for this
time.
Now, let each reader plant a fig, yea,
dozen, and care for them, too, and
you will thank the writer of this article.

who grow fat in the winter are in a
weakened condition for several weeks
and cannot do themselves justice.
The temptation to drink and lead q
fast life are greater in baseball than
in the more prosaic occupations. A
star ball player is much sought and
hundreds of hangers-on i'll places where
a ball player shouldn't be are tickled
half to death if the diamond hero will
join them In a good time" A lot of
the younger fellows fall for II, and in
consequence come back in the spring in
mighty poor shape.
Those who a played the game for
years and who engage in hard physical
work in the winter have little difficulty
in keeping down their weight. Take
Cy Young, for instance. To begin with,
he was endowed with unusual physical
strength, has always been temperate
and has labored hard in the off season.
| He has pitched eighteen seasons n is

BALL PLAYERS SHOULD LAST
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS AT LEAST

Just now. while the annual Cy Young,
George Van Haltren and Jim O'Rourke
stories are going the rounds and the
baseball writer's are using up rcanfs of
paper telling how long these men have
been in the game, a lot of folks are
wondering why SO many bali players
last a few seasons, so back to the
minors and then disappear entirely.
The average baseball life is generally
conceded to be somewhere between ten
and twelve years. A nan may work
in a rolling mill twelve hours a day
for twenty years, he can make deli
cate watches TN high grade works of
art for a score of years, he can en-
gage In all sorts of work that requires
skill and good eyesight for perhaps
twice as long as an average ball player
retains his skill, and there must be
some good reason for this.
1t is a noticeable fact that all the
~ball5players who have been in the game
for Years, and who will play as they
used to, never lay off and loaf for long
periods. Ball players by the hundreds
quit all kinds of work when the season
ends in the middle of October and do
not do a tap of work until March, when
their clubs go South. Then the winter
laggards have TO sweIter and work in a
hot climate to get down to playing
weight. Taking off weight rapidly all
ways saps a mans strength, so those
