glad TO see her again.
Mrs. NJ. L. Payne and her daughter.
Miss Jennie, were visiting in Reddick
last week. Miss Jennie is a popular
Seacher in the Plant City school. a DO

Sunday.
Mr.. William Scott, Jr.. is visiting
his sister, Mrs. Val Anthony.
Horace Redding, an expert tomato
packer from the East Coast, is put

ace has taught some of our tomato
men a thing or two about packing to-
matOes, and that the East Coast

rade, r. NJ. Fife, is very low, and will
probably live only a few days. Mr.
Fife spent four years in the COnfede~-
ate army and perhaps participated in
as many battles as any man in the
army.
DIR. Wilson, with W. NJ. Wilson,
Esquire, of Moscow, Tenn, made a
trip to Glenwood and DeLand last
week visiting the doctors son, Mr..
Emmett Wilson. They say the or
ange leaves over there remind one of
what we had in Marion county fifteen
years ago.
Our people were disappointed in
not receiving more definite news of
the election. II seems we do not yet
know who the fortunate ones are.
Did you ever think Of how many
men in Florida were aspirants for Of
fee before the primary last Tuesday?
II is said there were more than one
thousand candidates for state and
county Offices. If this be true, and
date in each precinct for justice of
the peace and constable the number
would amount to $500, or 10 per cent
of the number who voted in the pri-
mary two years ago.
Marion county never had a more
worthy lot of men as candidates nor
a~cleaner campaign. The only thing
khat was disgraceful was the dirty un
signed circular sent out from Ocala
the day before the election, and which
hurt the men it was designed to help
Many voted for the men it mentiOned
only because Of that circular. Sever
= Ell did that at Reddick. Every honest
man-and nearly all are honest in
their pOlitics-wants TO see every
man fairly and honorably treated even
if he opposes him. BARKIS.

Inglorious friend! most confident am
Thy life is one of very little ease;

PREDICTIONS ARE VERIFIED.
Just What Was Long Ago ForetoId OF
the Yellow Peril Is Upon us.

Friction between the United States
and Japan over the immigration of
Japanese labOrers to this country.
| which brought on race riots in San
| Francisco and elsewhere on the Paci-
flce slope. lends interest to the immi-
! grafton of Japanese to Texas. through
Mexico. The movement rose to a
considerable Importance in 1904 and
1905 and reached its climax in the
early part of 1907. when great numbers
or Japanese entered Texas They
came in bodies of thirty or forty at
time. each group having a leader. AS
many as 400 or 500 of them were in
San Antonio at one time last spring
and for several months displaced the
negro servants. especially as coach.
men. Then suddenly all of these men
quit their positions and embarked on
train for the Northwest
Many of the japanese, however, who
have come to Texas have come in
good faith as settlers. Some of them,
especially the colony at Webster, in
Harris county, in this state, have sig
nified their intention of becoming
American citizens. The sixty-first dis.
trict court Of Harris county has grant
ed to some of them preliminary pa
pers as proof of the declaration of
intention" The question has been
raised as to whether the Japanese are
eligible to American citizenship. 1t
is stated that Federal Judge in
Western Texas district has held that
the Japanese are eligible. and 1t is
probable that at the end Of the term
of qualified residence no objection will
be made to the final naturalization.
This colony in Harris county occu-
pies about 1000 acres of land, nearly
all Of which is under cultivation. the

DIVORCE OF JOSEPHINE.
How Napoleon Broke the DISTRESSING News
to His Wife that il Had to Be.

Napoleon would not go to Spain:
he would not settle his differences
with the pope; but he made up his
mlnd to bring to an issue another
long-deferred and vitally important
matter-that of divorcing Josephine
The emperor must have an heir.
the question of success must not be
left open longer; political necessity
was inexorable; ambition would toi-
crate no obstacle.
Great as Il man may become. he
is human after all, and Napoleon
tiinched from the fateful word to
Josephine. From time to time he
shrank from the pitiful task, and the
way in which he led up to it is full of
the pathos which sometimes lies in
small things. Whenever Napoleon
was at home it was a custom for n
page to bring in coffee for the emper-
or after dinner. Every day Jose
phine herself would take the trav
pour the coffee, sweeten it, cool Il
taste it, and hand it to Napoleon.
Years had come and gone, and the
little domestic custom had become As
the relations of man and wife.
AT length came the day of DAYS
for them both, dismal evening upon
which Napoleon had resolved TO
speak. He was gloomy and sad; she
was red-eyed with weeping, wretch
ed, awaiting the word she dreaded
and expected. Dinner was served
but neither ate, neither spoke.
The emperor rose from the table
she followed with slow steps, her
handkerchief over her mouth. as if to
stifie her sobs." The page came in
with the coffee, Offering the tray to
the empress, as he had always done,
But Napoleon, looking surlily at Jo-
sephlne. took the tray, stirred the
coffee sweetened it and drank.
Josephine knew that thev had
reached the parting of the WAYS.
The tray was handed back to the
page, the attendants withdrew at a
sign from the master. Napoleon
closed the door, and then with face
as cold as death he spoke of the
divorce.
Constant, the valet, dreading
some terrible event. had sat
down outside by the door. He heard
shrleks, and rushed forward. The
emperor opened the door; the em-
press was on the floor weeping
and crying enough to break one S
heart. They lifted her and bore
her to her room, Napoleon assisting.
Ihere were some tears in his eyes
and his voice was broken and trem-
ping. 1T was a bitter night to them
Doth and Napoleon visited her room
several times to inquire after her con-
ditr'n. He did not sleep; and he did
not utter word to his attendants.

Constant, in such aff1iction.

to trust him. He was logged out il

Rumor also has it that while Uncle
Sam has not forgiven, he is inclined
to relent. Also, some very respectable
persons We're seen to embrace him and
were seemingly sincere in the act
We are glad to hear all this We are
of the few who have always had cor.
fidence in the honesty. integrity and
well-meaning of this forc;bly estranged
one. We were once fairly well ac
quainted, and our great regret is that
circumstances should arise to thwart
our endeavor to ripen into intimacy
AS we remember him, one of the dis
tinguishing characteristics of Cart
Wheel was his unaffected democracy.
He was neither servile to the rich, nor
naughty to the poor-nOt frowning to
the one nor exacting of the other. He
was seemingly as well pleased while
sitting on the bare table of the i'm
poverished widow as when nesting
midst the silks of my lady's boudoir.
and gave his services as readily to the
one as to the other.
His word was ever as good as a gov
ernment bond. We never knew a mer-
chant to refuse him credit He was
never asked for security. The soft
words and fair promise of others oft
times failed their end-his never. AL
though credited with being good
talker, his words were few and always
to the point.
His most distinguishing character
istic, however, was his absolute 10y
atty. We never knew him to fail a
friend In need. Like others of our
kind. our cruise through life has not
always been on balmy seas. The vicis-
situdes of fortune have sometimes left
us stranded on the rocks. But we
never knew the time when this big
hearted fellow was by us that he failed
to serve us to the full extent of his
capacity. We can recall instances. at
certain periods of our life, when he
was the only friend we had on earth
the one only friend upon whom We
could implicitly rely for b bed for the
night and meal for the morrow.
So here's to you, old "Cartwheel."
May you live long and prosper. May
your progeny become as the sands of
the sea. You have been nothing but
good to us. and We believe you have
been harmful to no one. Captious
critics have carped, and may carp
again; selfish interests have ranted.
md may rant again; but we trust that
he good sense of Uncle Sam will event
nally restore you to that place to
which your lineage and your merits
entitle you.

SPIDER THAT SHOOTS BALLS.
Species Of Spinning That Lies in Wait
for Prey.

will you come into my parlor?" said
the spider to the fly.
ITS the prettiest little parlor that
ever you did spy,
The way into this parlor is up wind
ing stair,
And I've many rare and curious things
to show you, when you're there"
IL was these seductive words that
the willy spider, of Mother Goose fame,
invited the foolish little fly into his
| web.
Charles E. Hutchinson tells in a
recent number of the Scientific Ameri-
can how the Ordgarius Cornigerus
Hentz. the scientific name of very
common spider, manages to secure his
prey.
This spider is of more athletic
| character than his much-sung relative
who remained in his parlor awaiting
callers. He cleverly constructs bolas
or ball, by emitting a very thick sub
stance. which he attaches to the end of
a line which he suspends from little
hanging web, that he has previously
made beneath a branch
Now ordgarius, for his whole name
is entirely too long for every day use,
holds on the claw of his arm-like fore
leg the line, on the lower end of which
is attached the stick little ball He
seems to wait very patiently. hanging
| from his web, in the moonlight, some
times as long as thirty minutes. but
usually before so much time has
passed, his watch is rewarded by the
| appearance of a moth.
The Ordgarius gets ready for great
effort. Like baseball player prepar-
ing to pitch the ball. he prepares to
throw his bolas. The body swings
about If necessary, to assume favor
able position in reference to the moth,
and when the marked victim comes
within the proper distance, our pitcher
draws back the leg chat is holding the
ball and wit pendulum-like movement
quickly swings it forward in the direc-
tion of the moth
Ordgarius does not send curved balls,
but his aim is unerring and the bolas
is sure to land somewhere on the
moth, usually on the wing. to which
1t sticks fast. The moth finds itself
caught and flutters violently in an at
tempt to get away. but without sue
cess. 1t is pounced upon by its as
sailant who drops quickly down from
| his trapeZe. In his descent he follows
| along the bolas line, spinning as he
goes new supporting thread which
keeps him from falling.

SPRINGS COMING.

The woodland thickets blushed wit
blooms,
The spiders spun with silver looms
SO softly on the grass;
And not sound the stiffness broke,
All silent stood the forest folk
To see the princess pass.
But as they watched murmur ran,
For all the little birds began
Such pleasing songs to sing;
The dew threw jewels at her feet,
And flowers raised their eyes to greet
The pretty Princess Spring.
