The thirty-two page special trade
edition of the Ocala Banner was a
great newspaper. The writezup of the
city and county was interesting and
good, and the illustrations were fine;
the makeup and the presswork were
excellent. Taking it as whole, it was
one of the best special editions ever
issued by any newspaper in Florida

THE STORY or GRANT


In one of his interesting letters Mr..
Frederic j. Haskin gives the following
short. graphic and interesting story of
General Grant:
In many ways the story of General
Grant is one Of the most inspiring in
American history. Born in log cab
in. his appointment to West Point
came about by visit to the house of
neighbor to buy some butter. He
was a plodder in school and worked
hard for all he accomplished. His first
commission was signed by Jefferson
Davis, as the then secretary of war.
Grant seemed to meet with little sue
cess at whatever ne attempted. and
when he wanted a commission in the
federal army at the beginning of the
war he could get it only on condition
that he recruit the men he sought to
command. He was not considered
much of a soldier, but he stuck to his
work faithfully, was a persistent drill
master, and improved every opportu-
nifty to increase the efficiency of his
men. The difficulties he encountered
were many, but he surmOunted them
all, and the stone which the builders
of the army rejected afterwards be-
came the cornerstone of the military
edifice.
After his retirement from the pres
idency and his entrance into business,
the star of i'll luck persuaded him, and
the savings of a lifetime were swept
away in the financial crash. Impover-
ished and enfeebled by his great suf-
ferings with cancer of the throat, Gen
eral Grant seemed destined to die al
most as poor as he was born, and to
leave his family in poverty. At this
crisis a publishing firm came to his
rescue with an offer for the publica-
tion of his memoirs. Although he had
never been a success as a writer, his
memoirs We're such a simple, unvar-
nished, straightforward story that the
world was pleased with them.
In these latter days we hear of an
ex-president receiving a dollar a word
for all that he writes. and of an arctic
explorer getting more than that for
his story, but up to this time no au-
thorship has met with richer reward
than Grants memoirs. 1t has placed
the family of the author again in the
realm of affluence. and it is said that
the largest literary check ever written
was the royalty on the work of man
who was generally considered poor
writer"

RAvAGES OF FOREST FIRES
Less Estimated at $15o0o0, 900 In Ono year Laid to CareIessness
 of Woodsmen.

With a total estimated forest fire loss for the entire country last year ranging from $150,O00,000 to $200,- 000,000, and causing the death of several hundred persons, uneasy in- deed must rest the knowledge upon any woodsman, experienced or anna teur, that he caused a fire which may have contributed in this loss of life and property, says Guy Elliott Mitchell in the Review of Reviews. On the other hand, the man who ex- tinguished an incipient fire may take just pride in the act.
 The way to prevent big fires, as Chief Forester Graves says, is to put them out while they are small. If people are careful not to start fires, or if in case fires do start there are enough people available to fight them, they will gain no headway. The forest service in its posted no- tice lays down a few simple rules to keep in mind when in the woods and particularly requests in ease of fire that the forest guards be noti- fled. If the fire has not gained too large headway it may be very pos- sible to check and extinguish 1t, al- ways remembering that fire runs rapidly up a slope, burns slowly on the crest and travels down hill yet more slowly. Many an incipient fire has been put out by single guard or ranger, or an experienced camper, using his blanket or green branch for beating the fire or throw. ing on loose earth or sand.

THE TEA DRINKERS.

The chronic tea drinkers of this country are generally the kitchen girls and women who remain in the kitchen and in the house a great deal. The teapot is constantly on the stove and the strong stale brew full of tannic acid and bitter extrac- lives is poured into the stomach at frequent intervals. Here we get not only the stimulation of the cnf- fein, but the irritation of the tannin derivatives on the stomach mucous membrane. The sooner or later re- suit is sleeplessness, and irritable fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia, or even gastritis, and constipation. Of course, the treatment is to stop the cause, treat the insomnia, dvs- pepsia and constipation, and give fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier than other individuals decay of the teeth. Children up to Is years should not drink coffee or tea regu- larly.-Journal of the American Medical Association.

THE CAR AND THE HIGHWAY.

"Nothing has given so forceful an impetus to the movement for road building as the automobile" writes Thaddeus s. Dayton in Harper's Weekly. Millions of dollars are be- ing spent upon state roads. "The time is not far distant when the fed sral government will step in and aid h their construction. There is bill before congress for an ocean-to-ocean highway, which shall have a right of way . mile wide. The highway proper is to be 1,430 feet wide. Along this will be roads with a macadam surface, steel tracks foI electric cars, steel-plate tracks for fast automobiles, and cement ways for motor cars going less than twen. ty-fve miles an hour. It is planned to have this highway follow the thir- ty-ffth parallel of latitude"

CRUSOE IN MANHATTAN.

Another reason why an English man is apt to tire of New York with unexpected rapidity is the curious isolation of the city. One feels in New York singularly cut off from the rest of the world and not least from the rest of America. Personal ly I confess 1 never really regard myself as in the United States until New York is left behind and I am free of its atmosphere of concen- Sate6 self suficiency. A Lon- doner who is used to being at the center of things and watching be- meath his very eyes the convergence of a thousand worldwide interests not only feels in New York that he has been banished to the outer cir conference, but feels also that he has left England without really reaching America.-From the narrative of a revisiting Englishman in Harpers Weekly.

HOW TO THINK YOUNG.

You can help to keep off sagging cheeks if you will only think young" Never allow the cheek mus cles to droop for single instant Pleasant thoughts help the muscles as we'll as the mind. At night mas sage the relaxed muscles back into place with a good ointment. Sleep on your back without pillow at night, and if this does not do, tie up the chin in chin belt. It will hold up the relaxed muscles until your cheeks return to a frmer con- tour. You can get one by sending to any good beauty shop. Woman's World

FIGHTING FOR WIFE AT 90
Aged Turkoman, Taken Prisoner by kurds, Was Grained by Woman
 He Had Captured.

Describing feature of fight be- tween Turkomans and Kurds in Per sia, traveller says: "The Turko- mans, who always fight on foot, were ultimately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were taken and still more captives were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had joined the expedition in order to secure a new wifel The damsel in question came up during the in- terrogatory and brained her captor with a stone During these raids, past and present, the Turkoman ap- peared to have enjoyed a great and permanent advantage, in that nei- ther Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women, owing to their ugli- ness. The Turkoman, on the other hand, preferred Persian to their own women, and thus had a keen incen- tive, apart from the purely commer- cial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary"

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

The Minneapolis autoists who were
entertained in this city during the past
few days expressed themselves as be-
ing pleasantly surprised at the grow
ing progressing city which they saw
when their cars pulled into Devils
Lake. Without exception they saw an
unexpected growth and an unexpected
air of progress throughout the city.
They went away as valuable advertis-
gers of the city and its possibilities.
Without question their good will and
good words will bring many benefits to
us. Wherever these autoists go they
will take with them the good impress
sion Devils Lake made. The effort to
entertain them was: well worth while,

BIGGEST FAIR EVER.

Grand Forks is holding the greatest
state fair this year that has ever been
held in the state. On Wednesday it
is reported there were over 10000 peo-
pie in attendance. The aerop1ane
flights have been something marvellous
and are the great drawing card. Avia-
tor Tom Mccoy, local Grand Forks
man, who flies a Curtiss broke his aer-
oplane on Tuesday night when he
crashed into barn. He escaped un-
uninjured, but some damage was done
to the machine, but not so much but
what it is expected it can be repaired
so that he can make another fight
or two before the fair closes. It was
expected Thursday and Fridays at
tendance would be greater than We'd
