LIFE.

1t is not life upon thy gifts to live,
But to grow fixed with deeper roots
in thee;
And when the sun and shower their
bounties give,
To send out thick-leaved limbs; a
fruitful tree
Whose green head meets the eye for
many a mile,
Whose spreading boughs a friendly
shelter rear,
And full-faced fruits their blushing
y welcome smile
AS to it's goodly shade our feet draw
near.
Who tastes its gift shall never hun
ger more,
For the Father spreads the pure re-
past,
Who, while we eat, renews the ready
store,
Which at his bounteous board must
N ever last;
and, as the more we to his children
- lend
The more to US doth of his bounty

1T Is NOW UP To THE PEOPLE

Elsewhere in this issue the citizens
can read the new ordinance and may
or's proclamation calling for a 100000
bond election for water works pur-
poses. II is now up to the people, the
property owners and taxpayers OF the
city to decide by their ballots whether
they want the city to own and operate
it's own water works or not.
The city's only public owned insti-
tuition is the electric light plant This
plant, while laboring under difficult
ties and handicaps Of its own, has been
the best investment the city has ever
made, and is clearing more than 81
900 each month above all expenses
This has enabled the city TO run on
much lower tax assessment than would
have been otherwise possible The city
ownership of the water works is much
more important
1t may not become necessary to ex-
pend anything like the total sum au-
thorized by the ordinance for water
works purposes. If it is not only that
portion Of the bond issue that is alb
solutely necessary will be expended.
The bonds for the remaining portion
will not be sold or issued. The fund
will be in the hands of a reliable and
thoroughly responsible board or BOND
trustees to handle and disburse-
The question has been asked wheth-
er the city will build an entirely new
plant or buy the present one This we
cannot answer at this time. The wa
ter company asked 100000 for its
plant and we are told that it will take
$4,000
The engineers asked to make an es-
innate on the cost of duplicating the
present water plant, in its entirety
absolutely new, stated that it could be
done for s55.000 in round numbers
The sale of the present water works
| to the city, if it is ever consummated
| will have to be made by a committee
of arbitration and not until after the
| city has had competent engineers to &c
/ into the matter carefully and make ar
estimate of the value of the plant a.
lit stands and the actual condition OF
| all of its pipes, machinery, wells, tanks
| etc, and have reported their findings
to the city.
| AS there is but little over month
| Intervening between this and the date
of the bond election the Star wishes Il
give the matter all the publicity pos
sible. This is also the desire Of th'
council that every voter in the cit!
may be thoroughly conversant with th
situation and understand what he il
voting for and what the city propose
to do.

4 Sixth Ssnsa.

An interesting discussion arose at a
recent college lecture concerning the
instinct OF direction possessed SO
marvelously by savage races and by
animals. Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent. In the case OF
humans it is different, and some of
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able TO find his way in the
densest forest without taking note of
the sun. the wind. the lay of the land
or the course of the streams. There
fore it was said he must be guided by
q sixth sense because none of the reg
ular FIVE senses could aid him. Other
pupils. however. argued that the In
dian found his way in places where
there were no apparent guides be-
cause he knew how, because he had
learned all his life how to do ii. just
as the writer. for instance. will write
page after page Of copy. spelling all
the words correctly. but yet cannot If
asked to spell simple word. This is
because he learned the words long
ago and his spelling Is purely me

There was once an old lady in Scot
land who kept a few hens. AS she
lived close TO the house in which a
church minister lived he asked her to
send him two new laid eggs every
morning and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl ia the
minister's house every moning with
two eggs. and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm. as
If they had just bes7 taken from the
hens nest
But one day the eggs were cold, SO
the servant asked: Are the eggs fresh
today. Janey? They do not seem
warm
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said. "Ou, aye. they're quite
fresh. only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning.

The business men OF Jacksonville
through their president, Mr.. Walter p.
Corbett, are out in strong protest
against the continuance of race track
gambling and set forth in the Times
Union the pernicious effect Of the busi-
ness. insisting by the best evidences
obtainable which is almost unanimous,
OF Its pernicious effect on the youths.
boys and girls and the men of the city
who indulge in the questionable get
rich-quick device. Mr. Corbett's letter
is a manly and strong presentation Of
the evils of the gambling race track as
II has been conducted the past two
years at Moncrief Park, Jacksonville,
and appeals to the Legislature of the
state to put its seal Of disapproval on
this demoralizing institution. The
Times-Union of Jacksonville came out
Sunday in a strong editorial condemn
ing the gambling race track, saying it
does not bring to that city a able
class Of people, but keeps away the
very people desired in this state and
further says 1t impoverishes the state
instead OF adding to its assets. Let
the gambling race track go.

Fiction or History,

After all, fiction is not always the
worst place in which to look for his
tory. There is a story Of Mr.. Disraeli
at the time of his extremely bumptu-
ous youth when he had just returned
from, his travels in the east AS a
young man, much under thirty. he
met Lord Melbourne. who was then
prime minister. at dinner. Lord Mel
bourne proceeded to discourse on the
eastern question. but instead of listen
ing to the prime minister with the re-
spect which he ought young Disraeli
said, 'It seems TO me that your lord
ship has taken your knowledge Of the
east from The Arabian Nights"
Some prime ministers l have known

severely. Lord Melbourne was not of
that kind. He rubbed his hands with
great cheerfulness and said to the
young man. And devilish good place

NEWS FROM THE STORES

The relation of the merchant to his
public is much like that of the news
paper man to his audience
The public, or at least the feminine
end of it, picks up the newspaper with
as much eagerness to learn the news
of bargains and of styles as to see
what the army is doing in Texas.
The merchant who does not respond
to this demand with good story about
his Offering and values, meets the same
fate as the newspaper man who does
not know a good piece of news when
he meets it on the street.
When advertising fails to attract, it
is usually because the writer failed to
make it newsy. In this spring season
there is a human interest story in ev-
cry retail business, a story of the
feeting caprices of style, of shrewd
bargaining by which the merchant has
protected his customers, of overstocks
that help family income go farther.
The public listens, Mr.. Merchant!
Are you there?
