Turn, Fortune, turn they wheel and lower the proud; Turn they wild wheel through sun shine, storm and cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel with smile or frown; With that wild wheel we go not up or down; Our hoard is little, but our hearts are great. Smile and we smile, the lords of many lands; Frown and we smile, the lords of our own hands; For man is man and master of his fate. Turn, turn thy wheel above the staring crowd; Thy wheel and thou are shadows in the cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. (Browning.) Then welcome each rebuff That turns the earth’s smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but goI Be our joys three parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare never grudge the throe! LEFT THIS MORNING Mrs. D.

Harrisburg, July 17.—Governor Ten- er held a consultation with Harold Pierce, of Philadelphia, one of the members of the commission for exter mination of the chestnut tree blight, and discussed the proposed 'work of the commission. It is the plan to be gin work within a short time. Crabs Run Up the Delaware. Woodbury, N. J., July 17.—Crabs are plentiful in the Delaware at the mouths of Woodbury, Mantua and Tim ber creeks. This only happens peri odically in long droughts. The same conditions prevail further down the river, it is said. It is the costliest railroad in the country, exceeding $200,000 per mile. Total cost more than $30,000,000. Its stone ballast ranges from twelve to twenty-four inches in depth. One hundred and ten-pound best steel rails were used in its construc tion, and a grade of only six-tenths of one per cent has been maintained. An elevation of 300 feet is reached at Alta Pass. From Marion to Spruce Pine, in a stretch of eight miles, there are nine teen tunnels. Where these nineteen tunnels are located the road makes some wonderful curves, making a com plete loop of six miles and returning to within 300 feet from where it began. The road is also remarkable for its great cuts and fills. The largest cut is called Soldiers’ Home Cut, near Johnson City, which is nearly a mile in length and 85 feet deep. Near this cut is the largest fill known as Knob Creek Fill, 125 feet deep and three-fourths of a mile long. The road traverses for 45 miles, the beautiful Nolichucky and Toe rover gorge or canon, whose walls rise pre cipitously a thousand feet or more. Many ideal resort places are found along the Clinchfield road. The annual B-B excursion will be operated over this route to Johnson City, Tenn., next Thursday, leaving S. A. L. depot at 8 a. m., rain or shine. Stops will be made at Spruce Pine, Tennis Racket Loop and Unaka Springs. Round trip fare will be only $3.00. Nursing Mothers and Malaria.
