MY GARDEN.


None guess my hidden riches,
My wealth of leaf and bloom;
The gold of chaliced lilies,
The roses rare perfume.
Here climbs the starry jasmine,
Hopes ladder to the skies;
And here, like thoughts too pure for
words,
The silken moonfiowers rise.
Here falls the FLASHING fountain
With fancy's waters bright;
Here fit ambitions butterflies
Winged jewels in the light.
And all sweet birds are singing
Their happy songs together;
So bring the year whatever cheer
My heart holds summer weather.

A SUMMING UP OF
OUR JURY SYSTEM

Now that the rest OF the news
papers have concluded the argument
for and against the system of trial by
Jury. The Herald assumes the role OF
iudge and decides as follows: The
system is all right. 1t is the manner
in which it is carried out that SO Of
ten results in the defeat of justice.
As originally contemplated a man
has the right OF trial by a jury OF his
peers. that is. his equals In social
standing and intelligence. No man
should be permitted to serve on a
Jury unless he be of good character,
respected by his neighbors. possess
ed Of q common school education. and
regularly engaged In some legitimate
occupation. Paupers. loafers. va
grants, ignorant persons and those
who do not have the respect and es-
TEEN Of their neighbors. should by
no means be permitted to serve as
Jurors. Put only men of intelligence
character and responsibility on jur'
les, and we shall have no more
miscarriages Of justice as have here
tofore resulted from the jury sys-
TEN. Another thing: the number
of challenges allowed the defendant
in criminal cases is beyond all rea-
son and should be reduced fully Cne-
half. As at present managed. the
defendant can select jury composed
wholly of men of his own selection.
This is a prolific cause of judicial
farces. Aspirants for elect ton &c the
legislature should earnestly Study
this subject and endeavOr to fcrmu-
late and secure the enactment of the
law for the enactment OF the jury
system along the lines suggested
above. Punta Gorda Herald

The first issue of the Lakeland
Evening Telegram has reached our
office, alive with local and foreign
news of the day. We congratulate
Prcther Iictherington upon his en-
trance into the daily field and wish
him the abundant success which he
deserves. lie made such a good job
OF il on this day that one would be-
lieve that he has been running a
daily paper all of his life, and we be-
licye that his wife took the time TO
help him out some. In the Evenins
Telegram we found more matter of
interest than in some daiies pub
lished in much larger cities than
Lakeland. There Is another matter
upon which we wish to congratulate
Brother Hetherington and that Is
the foresight and business judgment
he displayed in deciding to enter the
evening field. By entering the
evening field he will deserve and no
doubt secure greater patronage be-
cause his paper will be issued at a
time when the people are at home
and have the opportunity and ineli-
nation to read. In getting out such
a good paper on the first day Broth
er HethcrinctOn has set a high
standard. 1t will be necessary for
him to continue to get out paper
just as good each day or the people
will say he is falling down on his
job. There is no doubt that he will
do better each day, but the point We
want to emphasize is that getting
out a good paper now and then does
not convince the public that your pa
per is good one. The public is
Justly critical of newspapers. owing
to the very high standard which the
newspapers themselves have set.
Brother Hetherington, your entrance
into the daily field makes us feel
like married folks at a wedding. 1t
is as serious as young man S
twenty-first birthday. - Pensacola

THE uNIoADED GUN

Everybody is familiar with the
tragedy of the unloaded gun which
happened to be loaded. A gun Is a
dangerous instrument to fool with.
as many persons have found out to
their everlasting sorrow. To shoot
ones neighbor is no pleasant exper-
fence for either party to the transac-
ton. No one wants to be shot and
no sensible person wants to be re-
spOnsible for helping any body out OF
existence by contributory negligence
or otherwise. II these trite but few
facts were borne in mind there
would be fewer accidents during the
hunting season; fewer funerals. few
err prostratiOns and whole lot more
of individual enjoyment and general
satisfaction"

HOW THE EDITOR WOULD GO.

The editor of the Burlington juno
ton Post goes on record as follows:
AT this writing We have no de-
sire to leave this vale of tears and
hurl ourselves upon Abraham's bos-
ON, but if We should desire to do so,
we wouldn't lean up against a load
ed gun and then pull the trigger. as
many do. Neither would we eat a
solid meal of rough on rats, blow
out the gas. drink concentrated lye'
sit down in the lap OF buzz saw
smoke cigarettes, or call Kentuck-
ian liar or a poor Judge of whiskey.
We would simply get out an edition
of our paper in which we would
strive to the best of our ability ia
print the plain, square truth as we
understand it, and then calmly
await the end"

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE
ENN0BLES AND UPLlFTS

The most uplifting force in all the
world is woman. Her influence up
lifts and ennobles. Without the ex-
ample she sets civilization would
languish and the world would rap
idly deteriorate says the Greenville
Times.
She teaches man by precept and
example, the higher duties OF lire.
The gentleness of her nature Will
drive the brute out Of man, II any
power on earth will do It.
Men who are not habitually asso-
ciated with woman. lose the finer
qualities of their natures and become
at heart, coarse. vulgar and selfish.
This may be hidden by an assumed
manner, but the lack OF the influ-
ence Of woman has robbed the life
Of something which can never be re-
placed.
The man who has lost respect and
admiration for woman Is depraved'
He has surrendered the motive pow
er, the moving force Of right living
His course is thereafter downward
The man who will not be manly
because of the influence Of women
friends, his mother or wife. is hope
lessly lost.
Woman has uplifted the world to
whore it rests today and is the pow
err holding il there. She deserves tc
be hOnored, cherished, loved. She
should never stoOp beneath the dig
nifty OF her quecnliness or forget hel
responsibility to elevate. uplift and
inspire. -Greenvlle Times.

receiving much encouragement in his

burden OF cost will be placed where

able to bear it. The plan has been
tried out in fernando county and
there. it is reported on reliable
