Most people think that wonderful
possessions make for happiness. But
no, indeed. These things never bring
happiness. Never, never, never! And
don't you let yourself think so for half
a minute. They bring, on the contra.
ry, sadness, WEAKNESS and ennui. Oh
is there anything on earth as awful as
ennui? 1t bites into the very soul and
saps life of all that is worth while. II
is worse than sorrow, worse than
sickness, worse than death. Now en-,
nui always engenders other conditions
unless you die of it. Lots of people
have died of ennui, though the doctors
and the coroner call it all sorts of diff
ferent names. And among the condi-
lions that develop from enndi are vice
and observation-disclosures.

Victor Huqo's Double.

Victor Hugo had real double in
flesh and blood, who exploited his
physical resemblance to the man Of
genius. He cut his beard like Hugo's,
copied the masters dress in its small

divided with the master the admira-
ton of the public. His especial de-
light was to pose in poetical attitude
in front of Punch and Judy show
He did this at particular spot every
Thursday afternoon for years. thor.

We do not hear that he reaped any
other reward but his pleasure.

VIII be a Candidate.

w. c. Alvers, county commissioner
from district No. 1, and the only member
of the present board who will be on the
incoming board, has decided TO be a
candidate for the Craftsmanship of the
new board at the initial meeting in jan
uary. j
| To the News Mr.. Alvers said yester-
day: "Since my name was suggested by
someone in the Palatka News several
weeks ago, have had seveal letters
from prominent citizens of the county
in which the hope was expressed that
would be given this honor. will tell
you frankly that ii is an honor would
appreciate, and have decided to submit
my claims to the new board. wish you
would, for me, thank the gentleman who
is responsible for the suggestion, as do
all who have interested themselves in
my behalf"
Mr.. Alvers received the highest vote
of any of the candidates for commission
er on the incoming board, and will be
the only experienced man on the new
board.
The Craftsmanship has usually gone by
precedent to the member from Palatka
but in the new board there will be no
Palatka member Mr.. Moody, who will
represent the district of which Palatka
is part lives several miles in the coun
try, and was elected as an Independent
over the regular democratic primary
nominee.

Mountains of Moab.

Most travellers who visit the Holy
Land content themselves with a visit
to that restricted part west Of Jordan.
The mountainous regions of Moab as
seen by them from Jerusalem are lost
in a purple haze that constantly hangs
over them, and the great stretches be-
yond are covered in mystery. This
is true partly because Of the fewer
historical incidents connected with the
eastern regions, but mainly on account
Of the great abyss Of the Jordan val
ley that has always acted as barrier.
Few who descend into the valley 1900
feet below sea level undertake to climb
the hills beyond, which rise to a
height Of 5000 feet. Though its glory
is far outshone by that Of western
Palestine, still, both in the old and the
new dispensations, it has history OF
its own and from an economic stand
point will always enter very largely
into the life of Palestine.-Christia

"OLD CRIMES,
Original Was Negro Slave, and Poem
 Was Written By a Senator

From the New York Press.
 New Englanders, Yale men in particu- lar. sang "Old Grimes" for three genera tions without knowing anything about it's origin. Dwight c. kilburn of Litchfieid, Conn, in preparing legal history of his county, clears up the "Old Grimes" mys- tery. Around the law school which flour ished at Litchfield a century and more ago was William Grimes, a runaway slave, who was servant to the students. Some of the southern students informed upon him, and his master took steps to recover the slave, but Grimes freedom was bought for him, and he moved to New Haven, where he was servant to the Yale boys. Albert G. Green, who after ward became United States Senator, used to make rhymes when he was 8 student upon anything at any occasion. Grimes begged Green to write some poetry for eim, and the future Senator gave him "Old Crimes"
 New. Englanders may like to recall the odd twists in some of Greens verses: Old Grimes is dead-that good old man
 We ne'er shall see him more; He used to wear long black coat
 All buttoned down before.
 His heart was open as the day,
 His feelings all were true;
 His hair was some inclined to gray
 He wore 1t in a queue.
 Whene' CT he heard the voice of pain
 His breast with pity burned; The large round head upon his cane
 From ivory was turned.
 Kind words he ever had for all
 He knew no base design:
 His eyes were dark and rather small,
 His nose was aquiline.
 He lived in peace with all mankind,
 In friendship he was true
 His coat had pocket holes behind.
 His pantaloons were blue.
 But good old Grimes is now at rest,
 Nor fears misfortunes frown He wore a double-brea sted vest,
 The stripes ran up and down. He modest merit sought to find
 And pay 1t it's desert;
 He had no malice in his mind,
 No 'rufles on his shirt.
 His neighbors he did not abuse,
 Was sociable and gay;
 He wore large buckles on his shoes,
 And changed them every day. Thus undisturbed by anxious cares
 His peaceful moments ran, And everybody said he was
 A fine old gentleman.

Bosch, and is to die for the murder of 19year-old girl, Germaine Bichon. l The crime was discovered in the apartment In which Germaine Bichon lived owing to a drop of blood pene- trating the flooring and dropping onto the hand of a waiter employed in . cafe underneath the apartment. The woman Bosch had obtained entrance to the apartment while Germaine Bi chOn was alone and, after killing her with a hammer, had stolen what lii tie money the girl possessed. The mur- deress then left quietly by the front door, but was arrested the next day. A workman named Fronh elm, em- ployed at foundry belonging to the Soclete Asacienne at Belfort, met with . tragic death recently. He had gone Into 2 room used for drying m0lds and, feeling exhausted by his labor, fell asleep. Meanwhile a fellow work man came along and closed the door without perceiving Fronh elm. Then he lit the fire. Next day, when men went to take out the molds, they discovered Fronheim literally roasted to death.

Under the present system when Wit ness for the state is given scrip for one day's attendance at court the face value Of which is $1 he is compelled to wait three or four years for his money or take 15 cents on the dollar from the scrip buyer. Such conditions are a shame and dis grace to this great and wealthy county and are brought about because the sheriff has not the proper knowledge of law and makes wholesale arrests on imaginary cases which are not violations of law. The courts under the law are compelled to dismiss them. This throws the costs on the state and reduces the fine and for leiture fund to its present condition three or four years behind.

 For almost a week Manton was lost in the heart of Death Valley. In three days he tramped 80 miles over sands so hot that he could scarcely walk on them, though shod with heavy shoes. During those never ending days he had no food and but one drink of water.

It lies, a. great sink in tlfe sandy plain, about 250 miles north and east of Los Angeles, Col, and within the boundaries of that state.

 We hardly expected it from Paris, and least of all that 1t would start with the music hall singers, but here it Is that a protest breaks forth against the licen- tiousness of the stage. At gathering of members of two syndicates of music hall artists a resolution was passed demand ing, together with better salaries, the sup pression of all icentious allusions and actions in public spectacles. We are glad that the nightly nastiness offered in near ly every music hall in Paris has at last aroused disgust among the players them selves. Paris has long held the primacy for vice and all kind of excess, and 1t sounds good to hear that a revulson of feeling has begun here where most it Is needed. But Is there any one who doesn't think that our American stage has got ten terribly demoralized. too?
