Ell unique entertainment in the
shape of dance by Billy Bowie Is
and his tribe of Seminole Indians.
His real name is Holatter Niece, and
he is the great nephew of Micanopy
who stood first among the Florida
chiefs in the Seminole war, and is a
liDeal descendant of VitachuCc. who
fought DeSoto, and of the family that
governed wide territory in Florida
long before Columbus sailed from Pa
los.
The scene Of the dance viii be Han
memo, in the eastern edge of the
Everglades. Around the camp
number of palms rear their straight
trunks like sentinel warriors crowned
with headdresses that culver in the
slight breeze and shine in the moon
light that glitters on the wide waters
OF winding waterways and tips the
lilypads and giant grasses with silver.
Ii is an ideal spot for such a scene.
Afar the boot Of the bittern sounds
like war drum, and the scream of
the heron tells that the alligator has
missed his prey. The surrounding
views have suffered no change, in
Geed, since the cannibal Carribees
made incursiOn on the cillages of
four centuries or more ago.

Duty of the Florida legislature.

Clemson, South Cardinals Agricul-
tural College, had four hundred and
sixty-one students the past session
and three hundred other applicants
were denied admission. That is a
very different showing from Florida's
Agricultural College. The legislature
of South Carolina is very liberal in lis
appropriations to Clemson, and, as a
result, it has built up fine reputation
as technical and industrial training
institute. Because of the meagreness
of the legislative appropriation to the
Florida Agricultural College, Florida
boys and girls who are seeking indus
trial and technical training are com.
PEELED TO go to colleges outside the
state. Ocala, for instance, has a half
dozen boys attending schools in other
states. We hope the next legislature
of Florida will have an eve mindful
to the building up of a great Florida
educational institution. IT is a duty
Florida owes to her boys and girls.

ONE WORD.

| Were the Ocala Banner limited t.
one word in its New Years advice t.
its readers, that one would be the
| word, Enthusiasm
1t is life. 1t is the soul on fire. II
means success to the individual. The
want of it is written all over with
failure.
The spread of religion; the estab'
lishment of governments; the tri.
! umph of armies; the achievement OF
inventors, are explained by the one
word, Enthusiasm :"
1t is power greater than steam or
electricity. 1t means no relaxation
of the faculties. 1t never sleeps. 1t
never grows tired. 1t never hest
tates.
Read what enthusiasm did for Igna-
titus Loyola:
Here was cripple. a man almost
repulsive in his features. An unat-
tractive speaker. But he was an en-
thusiast, and tramped barefoot over
Europe preaching the beauties of the
doctrines of the church, and accom-.
plished as much for the spread of
Catholicism as Martin Luther did for
the Reformation.
His physical endurance seemed al
most superhuman and his success
miraculous.
The apostles and pioneer preachers
were all enthusiasts.
The successful inventor is an enthu-
siast.
SO is the successful teacher.
Bryan could never have made his
wonderful campaign bad he not been
an enthusiast.
The successful farmer must also be
an enthusiast.
Our advice to our readers is to make
a specially of some line Of work. He
Will soon become interested in il and
will want to. excel.
In little while he will become an
enthusiast" and his success will date
from that hour.

An Arkansas judge severely repri-

Senator Foraker, of Ohio. has made
reply to the recent speech of ex-
President Harrison, and denies the
eX-president's charge that the Porto
Rican tariff law was departure
from correct principles" He saws
the United States gave Porto Rico a
far pore liberal civil government
than was ever given to any territory
prior to the civil war. The Ohioiap
said that We found Porto Rico as poor
as poverty could make her. She had
no money, no credit, no system of
taxation of any kind. We did for
her more than we did for Louisiana.
Florida or California, and The Porto
Ricans are in better condition today
than ever before in their history, and
are grateful to the United States for
what we have done for them.
