only Helen and two fannel-clad young

had voted the tea-room too hot to bear.

the men, as he missed a hoop and hit
the ball away in disgust.

Helen was delighted, and in a mo-

Republicans Are Afraid OF Their own
Medicine.


Medicine.
Republican newspapers are severe in
their criticisms of the Dingley bill, as
it has been amended by the senate COM
mittee, and it is hard to find any COM
mandatory words concerning it any,
where. The fact is the republicans arc
afraid of their own measure, and the
result will be a struggle for revision
all along the line
When a leading republican newspapers
is forced to confess that the wool sched-
ule, as proposed, will result in a direct
tax of about three dollars per capita an
nually On the people of the United
States, the moss-grown fable that "the
foreigner pays the taxi must certainly
cease to have much influence as an ar
gument. Facts are stubborn things,
and when such facts as these are stand-
ing in the way, the triumphal march OF
protective tariff is badly blockaded.
With a tariff on tea, which is in no
sense protective, as tea is not grown in
the United States; with a tariff on cot.
fee, another strictly foreign product,
and with a tariff on wool, which results
in a direct tax which American con-
sumers must pay, the sophistry of re-
publican arguments is made self-evi-
dent-so evident. indeed, that repub-
lican newspapers are obliged to confess
judgment.
just how the return of prosperity is
to be brought about by laying heavier
burdens of taxation upon the people
A.
ing under, is a problem which the clev-
crest of republicans are unable to solve.
The whole matter is a hopeless chaos,
and the only men who are getting any
profit out of this tariff agitation are

Fire at Anthony.

The barn of J. H. .Talton, Just
at the north edge of town, was
discovered to be on fire at l
o'clock Saturday morning. 1t con-
tanned about 200 bushels of corn,
5000 bundles of fodder, one
horse, top buggy and road-cart,
four sets of harness and farm
tools, consisting of plows, hoes,
shovels, etc. Before assistance
could be rendered all was con-
sumed except small portion of
the corn, which was saved, but in
a much charred condition. This
is a severe blow to Mr.. Talton, as
it represents his years labor.
1t is thought to be the work of
an incendiary. In bis loss Mr..
Talton has the sympathy of the
community. He Is a hard work

A Fair Financier.

For many years we have been
reading of the "Napoleons of
finance" in a general and a local
field, but have read nothing of
the Napoleoness of fiscal affairs.
1t remained for Ocala to give a
striking example along this line.
The Junior Loyal Legion got up
an entertainment a few days ago,
and a young miss scarcely out of
her teens, with only border inter-
ests in the association, thought
she would surprise the mana gers
by giving a helping hand in rails
ing money for the good and
growth and order.
She zealously solicited. She
had good success in securing
names and amounts.
Now comes in her striking and
unique methods of collecting the
subscriptions, participating in the
social, garnering to herself the
soul satisfying viands of the oc-
casion. To collect the subscrip-
tlons, she secured the services of
the children's favorite turnout of
Ocala's popular livery; acted as
waitress at the social and the Or
ders she took for ice cream for
one and concealed the substance
of it on her own person was mar
velous and attracted the atten-
tention of the managers.
The gathering over and settle
ment called for from those who
had acted as fiscal and fiduciary
agents of the Junior Legion, it
was discovered to the dismay of
the board of managers that this
bright, particular Napoleoness
financial stars expense account
had far outrun her collections.
1t is needless to add this bright,
particular, youthful, female finan-
cier reveled in a good time, no
matter what effect it had on the
strong box of the order. Truly,
Ocala is making a record break
ing along financial lines that will
attract the attention of the
world.
