YESTERDAY AT TEMPERANCE HALL.

YESTERDAY AT TEMPERANCE HALL.
The Ocala Temperance Reform
Club was very largely attended
yesterday afternoon, and the meet
ing proved a very interesting one.
President w. L. Ditto presided,
and M, NJ Little led the singing,
with Miss Daisy Moore at the
piano.
After the opening exercises, the
speaker of the occasion, Hon. John
q. Reardon. mayor of the city, was
presented, amid, great applause, and
delivered very forcible address
on the line of needed reform.
Our inability, as well as our linn
tied space, forbids us giving any
thing but brief outline of his adj
dress.
He paid the Temperance Re-
form Club a fattering compliment
in maintaining itself as it had.
Coming TO the matter of reform
he said many wanted the laws re-
formed. He thought the laws
were all right, but it was the ad-
ministrators of the law and the
people who needed reforming. He
said that men in authority should
have the moral courage to enforce
the law against offenders in high
standing.
He asserted that men would not
go in the face of conscience-that
conscience makes towards of us
.ah"-but that it might be lulled to
sleep. He emphasized the fact
the man with moral courage has
the world at his feet.
He said the man who defes the
law is traitor to his country. He
expressed surprise that men of in
telligence in business in Ocala
should say that the Sunday law
should not be enforced. He re-
ferred to the moral uprising in
New York City and said Roosevelt
was simply doing his duty in en-
forcing the law that had been upon
the statute books for so long.
Mayor Reardon declared that
the day the moral standard is tram
pied on the republic would go
down, and stressed the importance
of keeping up the churches and
Temperance halls.
He said he could not close with
out referring TO the coming
woman, and was afraid she had
already come with her bicycle. He
preferred a womanly woman to a
manly one.
He was willing to accord woman
great privileges, but protested
against her entering the political
arena, and closed by saying that
pursuance of such course would
be the death knell to marriage and
the home.
Mayor Reardon's address was re-
-ceived with loud applause.
Then come quartet, consisting
of Mrs R. G. Blake, NJ. M. Little
and wife, and 0. L. Burdick, who
rendered with fine effect a beauti-
tul song entitled "A Mothers
Boy"
The program being finished. af-
ter taking up the usual collection
and making several announce
ments, the meeting adjourned.

Careful With Tea.

As a rule, it is only among the pros
porous that one finds the pet meanness.
The poor haven time to develop fads
of any kind; they never have much Of
anything, but they give of their little in
way that puts their richer neighbors
to blush.
The most amusing instance can re-
call of the effect Of q suddenly acquired
fortune upon pet meanness is that told
by an English author about an old wom-
an in an almshouse, who came into a
million by chancery decision that had
been pending 100 years. She bought ev-
erything that money could buy-silks,
velvets, laces, furs, estates, carriages,
horses, soidisant friends even. She
threw away her bank notes upon every
thing imaginable, in kind of frenzy of
possession. But when it came to tea
she suffered, she debated, she Chartered,
but she never could make up her mind
to buy and pay for, at any one time,
more than quarter of pound Of
good black Bohea." She would have
felt beggared by a pound of any tea at
any price; it had always been so pre-
cious to her that she had lost all sense of
its intrinsic value. Perhaps itrepresent-
ed to some extent the bright unattaina-
BILE, without which life has no zest.--

A born Artist.

Sir Frederic Leighton has con6ded to
a contributor to The Young Woman the
story of how he came to be an artist.
In his youth painting was not consider
ed respectable, and Sir Frederic's par
ents shared, in some degree, in that
strange prejudice, but during a sojourn
in Florence, when he was about II years
Of age, the lad prevailed on his father
to submit the question of his future pro-
fession to Mr.. Hiram Powers. the cele-
brated American sculptor. He said to
Mr.. Leighton, "Let me have portfolio
of your sons drawings, and if you will
cali OH me at the end of week will
give you an opinion Of them. :"
cit was an anxious time for me-"
says Sir Frederic. 81 remember so we'll
the afternoon on which my father went
to see Hiram Powers to receive the
momentous verdict. sat down to my
anatomical studies as the best means Of
passing away the time. Then came the
sound Of wheels on the gravel outside,
and I threw down my work and ran to
the window. When father stepped from
the carriage he was looking SO pleased
that l felt sure that he had brought good
news"
sis there reason to expect, MIR. Pow
ers?" his father had asked. "that my
son would attain to eminence if he fol-
lowed the profession of an artist?"
"Sir." was the reply, your son may
be as eminent as he chooses. "Then
you think" pressed Mr.. Leighton,
"that I should make an artist of my
son?' "That, sir" was the reply, cit
is out of your power to do; nature has
done it for you. An artist Of less un-
questionable modesty than the president
of the Royal academy might have shrunk
from relating all anecdote so eminently
suggestive of predestined dii tinction.-
