TRUCKING IN DeSOTO.

The trucking season in the "Wonder-
land of the Peace River Country" is
drawing to a close. Quite little stuff
is still going out, but the rush is over
and the truckers are counting up their
profits, and there are few, indeed, who
cannot count a good profit The jan
uary freeze and the dry weather cut
down the yield until there were only
about forty thousand crates of vegeta-
bles shipped from this station but every
thing shipped except Irish potatoes
brought fancy prices and the spring crop
doubtless brought $4,000 into Wauchula.
Messrs E. E. Bradford and J. L. Ed
wards doubtless had the champion acre
of cukes, it yielding $50 crates of cukes.
They averaged about $1.5o per crate.
This was on our ordinary pine land and
with no irrigation.
M. J. L. Edwards cleaned up about
$500 from a half acre Of beans and
half acre of cukes. He received over

The Ford Jury Disagree.

After, twenty-four hours elaboration
the jury in the case of Mrs. Jeanette
Stewart Ford, charged with black
mailing Charles L. Warriner, the de-
faulting treasurer of the Big Four
Railroad. was unable 10 reach an
agreement. and was discharged Satur-
day afternoon
Judge Swing stated after he dismiss
ed the jury that he had peen informed
that on the last ballot eight jurors had
stood for acquittal and four for convic-
ton.
The somewhat unexpected end to the
sensational case was explained by two
of the jurymen as due to the fact that
the majority of their colleagues re-
fused to give any credit to the testi-
mony of Warmer. They asser'e ed that
manswho had confessed to embezzl-
ing for 25 years would not hesitate to
perjure himself against woman WHO
he believed. had been the cause of his
exposure.
Prosecutor Hunt announced Saturday
night that he expected to bring the
woman to trial again within the next
three weeks. At the same time he in
timated that he might abandon the
case. He asserted that the result of
the trial was due to a "species of
diseased mentality which affects
American jurors and prevent them
from convicting woman ON any
charge +" He declared the asme pro-
cess OF reasoning was evident in the

shakespeare,s Greatest Play.

It is impossible to say which OF
Shakespeare's plays Is the greatest.
II is safe to say that the greatest OF
his productions are THE Tempest"
Julius Caesar" Hamlet" "Lear,"
Macbeth" and "Othello," but TO pitch
upon any one of these six, or Of the
others. as being the greatest would
be a bit OF objectionable temerlty.
It is a question OF individual taste
and judgment. Some claim that
Hamlet" bears the palm, others are
found TO be in favor of giving that
high honor to Macbeth. while each
one of his fifteen or twenty greater
plays seems the greatest to some
people. Perhaps the most talked OF.
II not the most popular, OF the Shakes
pearean dramas is Hamlet; while
the majority OF the profounder
Shakespearean critics unite In pro-
nouncing "The Tempest to be the
great dramatist"s wonderful genius.

Rome at It's Worst.

the reputation that ii bears, may well
be called infamous. This extends
from the death Of Sulla to the death
of Nero. including the end OF the re-
public and the early years OF the en-
pier. This period has a very bad repu-
tation: not only was it full of disorder,
civil war. scandalous lawsuits, put
nearly all of it's most illustrious per-
sonages were notoriously vicious, be-
ginning with the most illustrious or
them all, julius Caesar. All were
deep In debt. drunkards, gluttons,
spendthrifts; they were dissolute,
when not accused outright of giving
themselves up TO the most degrading
pollution. There is no infamy that
has not been attributed to them. Only
a very few have escaped from this uni
yersal censure; and. with the excep-
ton of Pompey and Agrippa, those
who did escape were of minor impor-
tance. The others were either odious
In the extreme or else depraved like
Luculius. Crassus, Antony, Augustus,
Maecenas. Tiberius. Nero-to say
nothing of the women of the Claudian
line. who, when they were not pois-
oners outright, were women OF evil

kind of horror.-Guglielma Ferrero in

Electric Railway Sidnals.

The Great Western Railway = In
England is experimenting with a
promising form of electric signals
for the prevention OF accidents
in fogs and storms. The apparatus
consists OF an iron rail placed
halfway between the regular rails
and connected electrically with the
semophores CONTROL ng switches; and
of an electric bell and whistle, car
ried in the cab of the locomotive, and
actuated by contact with the electric
rail as the train passes over it. The
middle rail Is elevated at a certain
height when the semaphores are turn
ed to indicate safety. and at a greater
height when they indicate danger. In
the first case, when the locomotive
comes in contact, the bell rings in the
cab, and the engineer knows that the
way is free; in the second case, the
whistle blows in the cab to indicate
danger

but Queen Victoria pointed out that
there was already French colony OF
that name in the Pacific. She sug-
gested British Columbia" and the
happy thought became a fact. After
wards her Majesty was invited by the
British Columbians to christen their
capital. and she decided upon New

New Westminster was found to be
not altogether suitable for metropo-
lis. and the capital was transferred
to Victoria. New Westminster, from
the circumstance of its birth, is still
