"THE HAPPY WARRIOR"

"This is he, that every man IN arms
should wish to be-"
These final words in William
Wordsworth's celebrated poem, The
Happy Warrior" were forced on the
editors mind one day last week as he
parted after a pleasant visit with
Rev. B. R. Mosley at his home in Mel
rose.
This retired warrior, this once pow
erful leader in the battle for Chris
tian living. now broken in health, was
sitting on the front porch of his pleas
ant home while happy children kept
him company. Spread upon a conve-
nient chair by his side were num-
Der of magazines, mostly reviews, and
one of which, "The Outlook" he was
reading as we approached. He gave
his visitors a happy greeting when
they had introduced themselves, and
made them feel at home.
Despite the affiction which has
caused his retirement from the field,
this old and faithful servant of the
Master Seemed as happy as a lover
and attired with sudden brightness
like a man inspired"
He not only seemed happy, but he
was happy, even in affliction. The
once ready tongue that throbbed with

eloquence as he plead with men to for
sake sin, has been partially quieted
by paralysis, but his always keen
mind is yet as clear as whistle.
He says little now, but he listens and
thinks, and in a word approves or dis
approves as his trained mind and con-
science dictates.
But his cheerfulness, his kindliness,
the charity of the man were the
things that impressed us. And we
thought; here is one Minister of the
Word whose influence does not end
with his retirement from the pulpit,
but rather one whose life in Melrose
and the surrounding country, even in
his days of partial helplessness, is as
a benediction.
Rev. B. R. Mosley was for more
than ten years the loved pastor of
Eliam Baptist church. During the
years of his active ministry his pulpit
power combined with his sweetness cf
spirit made MIN commanding infu-
ence in his church and among the peo-
pie. He was power for righteous
ness. Now he is simply waiting in
the name and the glory of the grace
and love of Him whom some day,
when the shadows of earth are fled
and gone, he will see face to face.
Certainly, "this is he, that every man
in arms should wish to be- when the
shadows begin to gather about his
own life.

The Jumpino Froo Story,

1t was in the Angel Camp bar that
Mark Twain heard from an exploit
called Ben Coon the jumping frog
story. Clemens related it to Artemus
Ward, who urged him to write 1t, to be
included in book that Ward was pub
fishing. Clemens dallied and sent 1t
to the publishers too late, but they
handed it over to dying paper called
the Saturday Press, which gladly gave
it pride of place in its columns on
Nov. IS, 1865. Professor Sidgwick
synopsized 1t in Greek form for his
book Greek Prose Composition" and
thus arose the legend that the jump
ing frog story originated in ancient
Greece, legend in which Clemens him.
self believed till Professor Sidgwick
undeceived him in 1899 by telling him
that the Greek version was merely a
translation Of Clemens own work.

Formerly the Marquesans had such a
barbarous manner of doing their tattoo
work that it often took nearly six
months to heal that which had been
done in single day. They covered the
whole body Of the males with crudely
initiated rough designs, circles, curves
and many designs of small work, in
Guiding round and angular spots, even
to the finger nails and the top of the
head. Thus, beginning at vir!lity.
some were upward of thirty years old
before their tattoOing was completed.
Marquesan tattooing was perhaps hlore
remarkable in appearance than that of
any other primitive race.

The Bankers Of Lake

Tampa Tribune: The bankers of
Lake County are setting a commen-
dable example to the rest of the
State. Without asking outside as
sistance or seeking to cast the bur-
den of work and expense upon 9TH
ers. eight of the nine banks of the
county have organized for the pur-
pose of financing the DEVELOPMENT of
the live stock industry. They will
foster the purchase of blooded ami
mails for breeding purposes, silos and
improved equipment and dipping watts
for tick eradication. The sum OF
81, 500 was subscribed by the banks
to begin this good work.
In a statement of the purposes of
the organization. The Tribune finds
the following:
at is believed by the bankers of
Lake County that the permanent
prosperity of their community can
he advanced in no other way so eff
ficiently as through greater atten-
ton to general farming and live
stock-raising. They consider that
loans made to farmers of good char
acter and industrious habits on live
stock and improvements not only will
be safe, but will rapidly increase the
development of the county along de-
pendable lines. Their effort first
will be to show the farmers the ad-
vantages and possibilities of the
county for stock-raising purposes,
and then to impress upon them the
things which it is necessary to do to
bring about an extensive development
in this field. The unique feature of
the proposed campaign is that the
banks not only undertake to bear its
expense, but to show their good faith
by financing the livestock industry of
Lake County"
The newspapers of the county have
agreed to carry the advertising mat
ter relative to the campaign at one
half their regular rates. The lead
ership in this excellent movement
was taken by G. C. Ware of Lees
burg. and he met with the hearty CO.
operation of the other bankers Of
the county.

CASH MARKET FOR
STAPLE CROPS.

AT the meeting OF Ine DoarQ O.
trade Monday night earnest consider
alton was given to the subject of ;
bonded warehouse, or, in other words
a cash market for field crops fo,
farmers in the territory tributary II
Palatka.
The one great problem in the devel
opment of the agricultural resources
of Florida is the market problem
Hundreds of people have come to Flo,
rida to start life on farm and gone
back home discouraged and disppoint-
ed because they were not able to sell
the produce they raised.
So far as field or staple crops are
concerned this problem can be solved
by the farmers in the Palatka terri
tory by the simple announcement of
the fact that they are producing
enough corn, hay, beans, peas, pea
nuts, ETC., to justify a reliable firm or
warehousemen to rent warehouse in
Palatka and to engage in business at
this point.
Messrs. Williamson & Dennis have
done wonderful work in developing
the agricultural resources of the terri
tory around Gainesville by establish
ing warehouse under the terms of
the Federal Reserve act witch ena-
bles farmers to store their staple
crops in warehouses under proper reg
ulation and bonds and borrow money
to the amount of rs per cent of their
market value at six per cent interest.
But these gentlemen have done
more than that. They guarantee to
buy at minimum price from the
farmer in any quantity, small or
large, all the field crops that he raises
and leave him free to sell them at a
higher price in the open market When
ever he may. Or they will standard
ize his crop and store it for him so
that he can borrow rs per cent of its
value at six per cent interest per year.
If a sufficient volume of staple
crops will be raised in the territory
tributary to Palatka this summer,
Williamson & Dennis will establish
warehouse here in September and
purchase all staples offered at the fol-
lowing minimum cash prices, or better
if the market warrants it:
Peanuts, valencia Spanish, per. bu.
of 25 lbs, (plant up to July 49, $1OO.
White Spanish, per bu. of 2o lbs,
(plant up to July 15th), rs cents.
Florida Runner, per bu. of 20 lbs,
(plant up to June 1st) As cents.
Velvet Beans, any variety, in the
hull, per 100 lbs, 80 cents.
Blackeyed Peas, (Callfornla) per
bu. of 60 lbs, $500.
Corn, slip shuked, "a lbs. to bbl., up
to Dec. 1st, after Dec. 1st, 80 lbs. to
bbl., per bbl., so cents.
Write them for contract anu Saih-
pies of quality. They will also buy
all other staple crops as we'll as hogs
ard cattle.
Palatka because of it's transit IA
cilities and competitive freight rates
is the logical point for a cash market
for the farmers of Putnam -ounty
and for good proportion of s.. Johns
,olusia, Clay and Marion counties.
Let us hope that the farmers ard
county demonstrators in each coanty
will cooperate with the Palaika board
Of trade in assuring Messrs. w nam
son & Dennis that the business Is here
to justify them in providing a cash
market fcr staple crops.

Orlando Reporter-Star: The man
who makes two blades of grass grow
where one grew before is embalmed
in verse and aphorism as the man
worthy of honor. Because of this ac-
cepted truism, we should not fail to
honor J. c. Luning, present staJe
treasurer, who, be it known, is a can
didate for reelection. There is no
doubt of Mr.. Luning's reelection. He
is being opposed by some on
forgotten just who, but whoever it is
he hasn't shown why the Honorable
John C. should be ousted. The truth
is that Luning is safe and sane per-
son and as such is eminently the fit
man to keep in charge of the state's
money. He exhibited the right kind
of business judgment when he cashed
in the bonds of the states of Tennes-
see and Louisiana, which were paying
the school fund of the state of Flori-
da three and four per cent, respective
ly, and invested the money in the
bonds of Florida counties at five ana
six per cent, thus adding some S15,-
600 a year to the public school fund.
By doing this, Treasurer Luning has
earned his salary over and over again
for many years and is certainly de-
serving of reelection. 1t does seem
that any state treasurer would have
had sense enough to do just what Lu-
ming did, but it appears moreover
that this wasn't done until Luning
took charge of the office. All going

PENSION SYSTEM

TOLEDO, Nov. 3.-The executive
officers Of the Ohio Old Pension
League, who are also delepates to
the Ohio Federation of Labor, have
agreed to start petition for a. con-
stltutional amendment demanding old
age pensions afer the November cleo
ton. TX.
The Ohio Federation of Labor HAS
full legislative program for next
winters legislature and it was the
opinion of the leaders that the Old
Age Pension nqeRsure should not be
added to this nNa$ram. =.
This was entirely satisfactory to
the Pension LEAGUE officers, since the
measure can be enacted and put in
force at just as early a date by an
amendment to the constitution as by
a law. -
Doing it this way will make it pos
s1blen to draw some of the funds for
old age PENSIONS by a super-tax on
vacant land or by tax on the un-
earned increment of land value.
The form of the measure will be
drafted in cooperation with the ex-
ecutive officers. Of the Ohio Fedora
ton of Labor. The following is the
resolution which the labor conVentin
adopted: ~ -.
BE it resolved, That the executive
officers of the Ohio State Federation
