STRANGE OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN.

Someone with n talent for figures and an
earnest interest in the sex has been raking over
the last government census and extracting there
from a bundle of statistics showing some OF the
strange occupations in which the women of our
country are engaged
A brief glance at this interesting list Is
enough to reform any mere man who might have
thought that woman is "frail critter. only mt
for fancy feather stitching ard similar dainty
pursuits, and entitled to the gentle considera'
tion of the sterner sex.
The sex has surely arrived" and no longer
stands in need of protection when 1t is stated
that about one.third of the adult women in the
United States are earning their own living not
counting those who surely earning living
after the good old orthodox fashion, in cooking.

cessful one. These services are be-
ing largely attended and are most in
structive. The singing is being led
by members of the various choirs of

these services.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Hamill
had charge OF the conference Her
subject was, Teaching Little Child
ren," and she handled it in a most
splendid manner. Her talks are sim
pie. instructive and should be heard
by every Sunday School teacher in
the county. She spoke for about an
hour and the congregation were very
much charmed with her. AS a pri-
mary teacher and an instructor of pri-
mary teachers she has few equals and
it is a great treat to hear her explain
her methods.
In the evening there was a song and
promise service and different reports
were given, after which the following
program was carried out:
Bible Study-"The Life Of Christ"

The talks of DR.. and Mrs. Hamil
are practical and helpful and they are
making many friends in Ocala.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. v. Miller Entertain
for Their Lovely Guest.

A bright, social event of the week
was the party given on Tuesday eve
ming by Mr.. and Mrs Charles V. Mil
Ter at their pretty home on South
Second street in honor of their guest,
Miss Mary Davenport, of Chattanooga,
Tennessee.
Miss Davenport is an attractive
blonde and was very lovely at this
time in simple white gown and she
proved to be exceedingly popular with
the young people.
To entertain their guests Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller had arranged a decidedly
novel and amusing feature. The names
OF the gentlemen were placed in one
basket and the girls names in an
other. Each girl selected the name
of a gentleman and vice versa and each
person was required to draw the
photograph Of the partner that had
fallen to their lot on a big blackboard.
The drawings were quite amusing and

talents displayed by some of the
guests caused an immense amount of
fun. The judges decided that Miss
Gertrude Pereda and Mr.. Emmett
Robinson had drawn the best pic
lures and the most perfect likenesses,
so to them were given the pretty
prizes.
The host and hostess were assisted
during the evening by their sister,
Miss Eloise Miller and their other
guests were Miss Davenport, Misses
Eloyse Izlar, Grace Hatchell, Pauline

ashes.

Killed by Falling Tree.

Tuesday morning Mr.. Phil Shafer
and a colored man, Aren Rogers, were
driving into Ocala and when about
two and a half miles from the city,
near the Silver Springs road a tree
fell across the buggy completely de-
molishing it. Mr.. Shafer jumped and
escaped with but a slight injury. The
colored man was terribly crushed. He
was brought into town and taken to
the Marion county hospital. He lived
for only a few hours and suffered in
tense agony until death relieved him.
The escape of Mr.. Shafer was indeed
a miraculous one.

THE HALL OF FAME.

Mr.. Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal, himself a
princely man, an honor to his pro-
fession, the state and the nation, sug-
gests the names of Henry Clay and
John c. Breckenridge as Kentucky's
contribution to the Hall of Fame at
Washington, d. c.
And who will say that Mr.. Waiter
sons suggestion is not an eminently
fit and proper one?
Clay stood with the giants of his
day-a little taller, a little broader,
perhaps, than any of his contempor-
aries. AS long as he lived he was the
idol of the Wings. All his life he
was its leader and when he died no
one was found to fill his place.
John c. Breckenridge was one of the
nations most CONSPICUOUS men. He
was in the Senate of the United States
when mere youth and was even
younger than Bryan, when he receiv-
ed the nomination for the presidency
in 1860. The civil war followed soon
afterwards and changed the current of
his life.
But, yet all through that struggle he
was a CONSPICUOUS and commanding
figure.
Mr.. Watterson's suggestion that he
be selected with Mr.. Clay as Ken
tucky's contribution to this hall of
national eminence, we believe will find
responsive echo among all Ken
tuckians.
But, what of Florida? Whose heroic
statues shall she send to adorn a
niche in this gallery of heroes?
Captain Bill Kendrcik. well known to
fame, Florida pioneer and fighter
in her wars, whom he thought was
F'lorida's greatest son, her most COM
handing genius, and without hesita-
ton, his answer was:
"Osceola!"
Captain Kendrick said that this red
man of the forest possessed a, most
wonderful magnetism, was gifted with
the eloquence of speech and was thor
ough master of the arts and strategies
of war.
True, Osceola, was a native of the
state; he belonged to the aborigines
of the soil; was the representative of
a race that is almost extinct, but he
fought against the white man, belong
ed to an alien race, would it be quite
the thing to have his effiigy in this
Hall of Fame, which so far, without
exception, serves the purpose of per-
petuating the genius Of the white man
only?
The names of Richard X. Call, Ste
phen r. Mallory, Omitted States Sem
Cabinet) and Hon. David L. Yulee,
protector of Florida's first railway sys-
tenn, have been proposed for places in
this statuary hall.
But, Florida is young, yet and has
not made the history nor the achieve
ments as some Of the older states. She
has so far produced no eminent poets
nor historians nor statesmen that rank
alongside with Clay, Webster and CAL
hOun and can afford TO wait before oc-
cupying the place allotted to her in
the Hall of Fame.
Mr. Watterson's history of the ORR
gin of this hall, like everything that
proceeds from his pen, is cleverly
written and we know will be interest
ing to our readers, so we reproduce it
elsewhere and call especial attention
to it.
