Leader is correctly advised, Mr.
Chaney’s opposition developed from
sources that are desirous of having
special legislation enacted, while he

A ROMANCE
MAN TRAVELS PROM ORANGE TO
FLORIDA TO GIVE HIMSELF
UP TO THE LAW.
WORK OF THE ARMY
“I know I have beat the market gar
doners out of several hundred dollars
in the pastriwo years,” remarked a
young householder to The Leader
editor this morning, “because I put in
some time every day on my. little
garden and our table is constantly sup-
plied with fresh vegetables the year
round. I enjoy the work, it gives me
necessary exercise, our table is well
supplied and our household expenses
largely reduced by our little garden.”
It is a very easy matter for a man to
raise enough vegetables for the sus-
tenance of his family on a little square
of ground in Orange, if -he will just
give it a few minutes' time and atten-
tion every day.
By Herbert J. Hapgood.
When you enter the employer's
office to apply for a position let it be
with a clear idea as to the price you
are going to put on yourself and stick
to that figure. Do not, however, be
afraid to lower your figure slightly at
the start, provided you think the op-
portunities for advancement good. It
invariably creates-a'gdod impression
for a man to say, "Mr. Employer, I
am worth more than you want to pay.
However, I am willing to start at $900
to show you what I can do. with the
understanding that if I make good you
will advance me to $1200 at the end
of the month.”
Both lack of confidence and over-
confidence are to be avoided. A-few
months ago a well known building
firm was in great need of architectural
’draftsmen, and was considering a
young man who had only limited ex-
perience, but demanded the highest
price they were willing to pay. The
chief draftsman was rather doubtful,
but in his anxiety to obtain a.rnan he
agreed to take him on two weeks’ trial.
Before time to report for work the
young man telegraphed that he was
sick and could not take the position.
The truth was. that he realized that,
he was not worth the large salary he
was asking and would not last longer
than the probation period. Thus his
overconfidence lost him a valuable
permanent connection which might
have been his by accepting a slightly
lower salary- at the start.
Overconfidence oftrin leads a man to
say that he can fill a position before
he knows what it really is. In fact,
this is a trap frequently set by em-i
ployers to catch the unwary appli-1 j.>een neglected and a most necessary
cant. The kind^iB man the> » n >■ and commendable work is to he under-
one who say*: 'Trom what I know taken
of the proposition. I believe l can • ‘ ‘ -
handle it, but I would not like to sayj
so definitely until I know more about\ We are prone t<)0 often to forget
the work” Intelligent inquiries about! 'hat there are always two sides to
the duties of a position are always every question and make up our minds
more effective than empty boasts. | 9'dckly a* to the merits of a case.
: However, there is nothing to prevent
1 a person changing his opinion when
he has discovered his mistake and
Indications all point to the fact that
there is a considerable revulsion of
feeling taking place in Orange just
now as to the merits of a disgrace-
ful occurrence of a few nights since.

A most Interesting story has just
been brought to the attention of The
Leader by Captain E. C. Reed,, officer
in charge of the local Salvation Army
post, which demonstrates the wonder-
ful work of the Salvation Army and
also the courage that is put into a
mans’ heart when he is converted and
makes up his mind to llve a clean life.
The first chapter of the story is in
the shape of a press dispatch from
Pensacola, Fla., as follows:
“Pensacola, Fla., June 9.—After be-
ing at liberty for several years ar.d
having a sentence of ten years to serv-p
in the Florida penitentiary, J. T. Mil-
stead. a white man. passed through
here today en route from Texas to
Tallahassee to surrender himself and
serve his term of imprisonment. He
was arrested upon his arrival here, but
upon a telegram from the state hoard
he was ordered released that he might
come alone to Tallahassee and surren-
der. This was immediately done and
he resumed his trip this afterfloon.
■“Milstead was convicted her<i of as-
sault with intent to murder, and sen-
tenced to serve ten years. He immedi-
ately escaped and went ’ to Texas,
where he joined the Salvation Army.
The fact that he was an escaped con-
vict and for whom a reward was of-
fered was constantly before him, he
said, and he finally decided to surren-
der.”
The second chapter in the story-
is a certified copy of an'order of the
Board of Commissioners of State Insti-
tutions in Florida, granting a parole to
8. T. Milstead. which certified copy
was published in the newspapers of
Tallahassee and is as follows:
Office of Board of Commissioners of
Stale Institutions.

ed in Escambia county, Florida, on
February 6, 1900, of the crime of as-
sault to murder, and sentenced to a
term of ten years in the state prison,
and escaped on September 14, 1901,
having voluntarily surrendered him-
self to the state authorities, coming
alone and unguarded from Orange.
Texas, where he was- residing, for
that purpose, and having been Con-
verted recently and become convicted ■
of his duty to God and the laws of;
the land to so surrender himself and !
appearing before the Board of Com .

DAVID A. SIMMONS.
Secretary of Board., t
Captain Reed of the Solvation Army
gives the following interesting account ]
of how S, T. Milstead was brought un-
der conviction for hi* sins and was;
converted and-courageously decided to]
take the step that he did:
“This case came under my observa-1
tion about three months ago. 8. T. j
Milstead. alias .1. A. Drew, by which
name he was known in Orange, camel
to our meetings and became convicted
of sin. and being burdened with this
secret hanging over him, he came and
confessed his life to me and after feel-
ing he had done his duty he confessed
Christ as his Savior. I began to in-
vestigate his case and at last T wrote
to the commlssionera In Tallahassee.
Florida, telling them of his conversion
and of his desire to go back and finish
serving his term out of prison. On
the first of June I received a letter
from that body telling him they would
like to see him In person. He at once
began to get ready to depart and on
Friday, June 5, he bought his ticket
and left Orange for Tallahassee. Fia.,
with one determination,' and that to
serve God, whether In prison or free.
He gives God all the glory and thanks
the Salvation Army of Orange for be
ing the Instruments in God's hands of
showing him the 3avlor. It is one
of the most sincere conversions I be-
lieve I have ever personally come in
touch with. Let every Christian in
Orange i»ray that they may give him
bis full pardon and that he may come
out a free man, be a worker for God
and a soul saver forJesus.
