No shroud of frozen snow envelopes the corpse of the poor, dead, shrunk- en world outside; no depressing thought of stock eating their heads off during the long, dreary months of unproductive winter on the farm and consuming the profits of the summer’'s toil; no red-hot stove working overtime day and night in home and store, devouring costly coal for months on a stretch, with grouchy mortals gathered about it, weary of the winter -and yearning for the springtime that seems a cen- tury away; no blizzards with their ghastly toll of people caught in them and frozen to death; po snowed in trains with resulting coal and food famines in the towns and cities. We miss all these, and in their place we gather our strawberries andl pick our oranges and grapefruit and plow our mellow soil in preparation‘ for the crops that so rapidly succeed! each other, cull our roses and” ini many other ways get the best out of life while we feel a gentle commis- eration for the luckless denizens of fierce climes and a mild wonder that they will abide therein when the .dord has been good enough to place Florida in easy reach. RS, W— The late President Finley of the Southern Railway was surely a piker in the matter of accumulating a for- tune considering his magnificent op- portunities. e left an estate val- ued at only a measly $185,000, whereas if he had been like some of the others who hold a public trust as a private snap he might have left many millionp. But perhaps he’s just as well off now for not doing so. el e The Tampa Tribune devotes sev- eral paragraphs in its news columns to what appears to be an uncommon sight in that town—a woman with a slit gkirt. It's the women in Lake- land who don’t wear slit skirts that are the most uncommon, so we would advise our rural brethren to come up to the real fashion center once in a while and take a squint at what is| being worn, or rather not worn. o For years we have been making heroes of our prize fighters and race horse jockeys. Out in Ohio we are now making heroes of the boys who grow one hundred bushels of corn to the acre. The pictures of Jack Johnson and Harry Thaw have been driven off the first page of our papers to make way for the pictures of the boys who grow corn and the girls] who make the best bread.”—From address of president of the Ohio agricultural commission. And don’t forget to put in that pic- ture the little Florida corn club hero who made 136 bushels of corn on an acre of ground this year. 0~ The Ocala Bannersays that Thomas Edison is not only a great man in the realms of discovery but possesses a wonderful mind in other directions. In proof of this the Banner cites Mr. Edison’s recently expressed opinion that law is no longer justice as ap plled by our® courts but merely a mass of formulas and technicalities. If Mr. Edison relied on that discov- ery to make him a wonderful man he would find himself in so much company that wonderful men would be the most plentiful commodity in the country. The woods are full of them, Bro. Harris, and, without be- ing exact as to dates, we think we made this discovery about our courts and publicly announced it while Mr. Edison was yet unknown to fame and before the phonograph or the Edison light were born. RSHNSIRLY W S— There isn't a doubt in the world that President Wilson would be de- lighted to see the Democratic party of Florida re-elect Senator Fletcher to his present position. As the Ocala loyally stood by him in the enact-' ! ment of the tariff measure into law. He is loyally standing by him in his efforts to hove the currency bill en- acted into law. eliminating the Mexican dictator. The president seems very deeply con- cerned in the matter of ‘rural cred- its’ and in the commission appointed for the purpose of making a thor- ough investigation of the operauons' of this system Fletcher was honored in having been to his report with very great inter- posed great confidence in our senior senator. cial congress, in which the president has shown great interest, and theI very nature of Senator Fletcher’s po- | $ddubdddubsdudidubdudud bbb sition has thrown them together a great deal.

Nixon, the president of the St. Louis and San Francisco Rail- way, is 55 years old and has been employed in railroad work for thir- ty-five years. He started in with the Santa Fe as watchman in 1878, When he left it in 1906 to become vice president and general manager of the Frisco, he had risen to be sec- ond vice president and general man- ager of the larger system. One of Mr. Nixon’s notable performances with the Frisco has been an increase in the/ revenue trainload ffom 214 tons in 1906 tb 255 tons in 1912, accomplished in spite of the fact that the road did not have with which[ to extensively reduce grade or buy more powerful locomatives. l 4c is what it will cost you if you buy one of our machines and make The' Ladies’ Friend, 14 Useful Combin- | ation Kitchen article all in one, a world seller, making and selling them on the street corner, or can- | vassing.

In the old days of hand compositjon “, I-C-E| a printer known from New York to San Francisco as “Pilgrim” Hazlett wandered into a Pennsylvania town and asked the editor of the weekly for | a “sit.” “Well,” said the editor, “I can put you to work, but I'm afraid I can’t pay much money.” “Make me an offer,” said the Pilgrim. “All right. I can give you two meals a day at my house, you can sleep in the office on this lounge, and I'll take care of your laundry. Then if you need tobacco get it across the street at the grocery. They run an account with us. And up at the brewery you can get a can of beer whenever you like. Besides, I'l pay you four dollars a week.
