in which it undoubtedly has the
better of Brother Israel in the ar
gument: we have been painfully
conscious during our nearly two
years residence in Ocala of the
many open stores and general des-
ecration of the Sabbath, but SO far
we have dismally failed to witness
that wonderful tidal wave of pros
perity of which Bro. Israel ascribes
to towns that run wide open on
Sunday. If the past two years is
a fair sample of open Sunday pros
perity, God pity us in cur adver-
sity. The fact of the matter is,
if we had less stores, saloons, club
rooms and gambling houses open
on Sunday we would have more
banks open on Monday. The fact
that the Sunday law is not en-
forced is no fault of the law. It
is lack Of moral backbone among
the people.

Suddenly he became aware that something was

time a hoarse growl and then sound as Of escap-

greeted his ear The next instant the air was illed
with flying mud and water, ana our valiant hunter
found himself taking steps backward. with the
water and mud to his waist, and his glossy silk tile
floating along on the surface of the water directly
After few seconds of deberation to what

Then the fun began. Quickly jumping to the

BIZ WILLIAM MUDFoRD.

Were all things ever hidden from my sight,
Did Life stand helpless In unchanging night,
Your gentle voice. and know that you were near.
Were the world SILENT soundless all the sea.
No note Of song In any bird for me,
Seeing your beauty-through my soul would ring
The music OF the songs that lovers sing.
And could speak not; were my lips denied
Their lordly right to chaunt love deihed;
Ny very blood would praise God and rejoice
For sake Of your sweet face and gentle voice.
