They Won't Together.

TON Meyers was peddler in
humble way In Chicago. and be and his
'utfit were well known In the poorer
quarters. His wagon was old and rick
'ty. his horse had seen years OF service
street car line. and the peddler
vas old and feeble as his horse, which,
ny the way, bore the impressive name
OF Baron.
Saturday is always a busy day with
peddlers, and one very cold Saturday
Pedder Meyers had an unusually hard
day. AS he drove. home late in the
evening he noticed that Baron looked
sick. BE gave him a good supper of
oats. rubbed him down and then went
to his own supper.
An hour later he. again visited Baron
and found him worse. He applied such
remedies as he could, and then, finding
that the horse evinced a desire to lie
down, he led it out of the stable and
up, the street. i,
Around and around the block he led
Baron, and in the. early morning po-
Iiceman found the borse lying on the
street and the old peddler by his side
with an arm on the animals neck. and
both were dead.-St. Louis Globe Dem

The Peacock at Home.

The real home of peacocks or pea
fowls is in India. There they were
and are hunted. and their flesh Is used
for food. AS the birds live In the
same region as the tiger, peacock hunt
ing is very dangerous sport. q The
long train. s6f the peacock is not Its
tail, as many suppose. but Is compos-
ed Of feathers which grow out just
above the tail and are called the tail
coverts. Peacocks have been known
for many hundred years. They are
mentioned in the Bible. Job mentions
them. and they are mentioned, too, in
I Kings x. Hundreds of years ago In
Rome many thousand peacocks were
killed for the great feasts which the
emperors Smade. The brains or the
peacock were considered a great treat,
and many had to be killed for a single
feast.

GREEK STRATAGEM.
Military Tactics That Won Where
Strength Was Lacking.

Military Tactics That Won Where
Strength Was Lacking.
After the decline Of Rome the center
Of the worlds military progress was
for seven or eight centuries transferred
to the Greek empire. Constantinople
ruled elements Of a much less homo
generous nature than Rome in her
prime had depended upon. There was
less loyalty to the central rule there
and far less liberty under it.
The decisive military fact Of the east
was, however, that Byzantium had to
contend against overwhelming numeri-
cal superiority in its enemies. South
of 1t, from the Indies to the Atlantic,
was the Saracen empire, burning with
the zeal of a new religion. To the east
were the SeIjuk Turks, while to the
north were the Bulgarians and the
Slavonian and Hunic tribes.
Against such odds 1t was useless SIM
ply to match man for man. The mill
tary leaders Of the empire were full
of military spirit and took keen delight
in war as a game, but they were the
descendants of Ulysses, and they made
Of war q game Of finesse, of cleverness
in short, war Of wits. BY their spy
ing and brides, by stirring up treason
in the enemy's camp, by surprises, sim
ulated retreats and ambush, they IL
frustrated the saying of Bacon thai

THE GAME OF GOLF.
II Is Very Serious Matter With the
Real Scot Enthusiast.


Real Scot Enthusiast.
In Fife and the Lothians every one
plays golf-men of leisure, working
men and loafers, the last class produc-
ing the finest players. Many Of the
Scotch towns have public courses, and
even where they are private the art-
san clubs may use them on generous
terms. Says Stewart Dick in "The
Pageant of the Forth"
There is something very Scotch
about the Scotch golfer. He seems to
suit the leisurely and contemplatve
game. Keep your eye on the ball,
Slow back and Aye be up are writ
ten all over him. AS a nation one
would say the Scotch were profession
al, the English amateur, golfers, for
there should be nothing dilettante
about the game of golf.
How serious a matter it is may be
Judged from the old story of the Scotch
minister. Emerging after a hot and
unhallowed strife in the bunker, his
profane words still echoing in his ears
he mops his heated brow and exclaims
bitterly.

THE EDITOR.

Allegorically speaking, the editor is
a happy medium between a soupbonc
and a porterhouse steak. Nobody ever
saw a rich editor, and on the other
hand no one ever encountered an
editor who didn't head every sub
scription paper in circulation with
donation of four bits and stub pen.
The editor is said to belong to the
fourth estate because that is the only
kind he ever leaves. He Is also one
of the most cheerful OverwOrked pre-
yaricatOrs now passing legal ten
der. He has to be whenever a girl
with a face like a cream puff marries
a youth who never earned Il dime
outside of the shooting gallery. The
editor has to paint the bride as a
radiant vision of blushing beauty and
he groom as one of our rising young
business men, or else disappOint an
cxpectant circle of delinquent sub
scribers. II the editor fails to spread

We have reached high plane Of
liv ne when We can realize the great
beauty Of the little things.
The simplest words in our lang
uage mean the most. There is rare
ly an emotion that cannot be ex-
pressed in words of four letters. All
the bitterness. the unchar tableness,
the cruelty, the brutality of the
world, are compressed in the word
Hate.
All the happiness. the tenderness,
the joy of living, are contained in
the little monosyliable Love
The future would be meaningless
if we had not Hope TO guide us to it.
Agonizing sorrow is only part of
the Pain thai shriyels up our very
hearts and leaves us Cold and Dead,
even while we seem alive.
About no word can linger the
sweet memories that come when some
enc mentions Home.
The great panacea of all-WOrk 4
fills our lives with sun and substance,
is a very simple word to express so
much.
BE glad that the real things, the
things worth while, are those which
each of us can have and know. The
Babe, the Girl. the Wife. the Home.
the great Hope. the deep Pain, the
Hate that burns. and the bliss of
LOve-what are these but Iife?-

FIGHTING THE SYSTEM
NOT THE INDIVIDUAL

O.
The Punta GOrda Journal, whose
editor Is extremely sensitive to any
thing that savOrS in the slightest of
criticism of Gov. Gilchrist, takes ex.
ception to a paragraph printed In
this paper to he effect that II the
Governor were to spend some time
incOgnitO in the state convict camps
he would possibly revise his estimate
of their attractiveness and his 0pin-
ion as to the fine treatment accorded
the convicts. Editor Jordan wishes
the editor of The Telegram to make
a tour of the convict camps, visiting
them incognito, and to write up what
he might see on such trip OF in
spection. He offers to contribute to
a fund to pay the expense of such an
Investigation.
This is certainly very fair prop
OsitiOn, and the editor of The Tele-
gram regrets that he is unable to
act upon ii, for he would like to be
convinced by personal observation
that humane treatment is the rule In
the convict camps of Florida. There
have been so many distressing stories
Of abuse and inhumanity. and they
have come from so many differen;
sources. that ii is difficult to believe
that there is no foundation of truth
back of any of them.
The mistake Editor Jordan and
Others make is in suppOsing that
when the convict lease system is
criticised there is an intention to re-
feet upon the administration. This
is certainly not the case. SO far as
this paper is concerned. Our fight
is not against any individual. or in
dividuals, but against the system,
which We believe to be utterly wrong,
and which we will continue to fight
until it is abolished. We do not
think 1t will be necessary to carry
on the war many years longer. The
sentiment of this State has under
gone a radical change in the past
few years, and if vote were taken
today on the question as to whether
the convicts should be leased or put
to work on the public highways. the
latter proposition would carry over
whelmingly.
Here is the cruX of the whole mat
ter: II is not SO much Il question
of how the system is applied. but the
contention Is that the system is
wrong. You can't make wrong right
by any method OF applying it. You
cant argue that saloons are the
thing. because they are fitted with
fancy fixtures. You wouldn't defend
immoral houses because of the gilt
in the furnishings. And SO. we hold
that. even if every claim of humane
administration were admitted. there
is yet no justification for a system Of
slavery in which the State becomes
party to a traffic in human misery,
and allows financial consideration
to be dominant in the disposition of
its wards. Let it be admitted that
there are no abuses-the fact remains
that the opportunity for abuses is
present and that the temptation to
practice such abuses is tenfold more
great where convicts are worked for
the sole purpose of gain than where
the State takes direct charge of the
convict. performing the functions for
which it is responsible. and which il
has no moral reht TO delegate.
