Queer Drunamera.

There's story" said a drummer,
about a commercial traveller whose
line was tunnels and post holes for
fences. Him | never met / did meet
once, though, a drummer selling iron
churches and suspension bridges. An
other time / met drummer who said
his line was pupils. What did he mean
by pupils? He meant, found, glass
eyes for stuffed animals, for dolls and
for human beings. One Of this mans
favorlte amusements was to open his
sample case and ask the people present
to pick out the eye that best matched
their own. The people made awful
mistakes in this, for nobody, 1t seems.
knows the color Of his own eyes."--

GRADED AND HIGH SCHOOLS

The result of the recent educa
tional campaign in Virginia arr
being felt in various sections of tn,
State, and these results have tax
en- practical shape in the building
of additional graded and higi
schools.
One of the ksynotes Of that cam
paign was the concentration OF
schools, go that there can be gath.
cred at these central points chill d.
rem In sufficient numbers to justify
larger schools, additional teachers
and longer terms. Three or four
schools united into one well grad.
cd school will be Of vastly greater
benefit to tho children of q com.
munity. The advantages Of better
classification, the stimulus that
conner from friendly rivalry, the
influence Of contact with more
skillful teachers, all have direct
influence on the minds and hearts
Of the young.
Another aud no less important
factor In shaping and moulding the
young life is that the central
school house can be made more at
trictive, thus contributin G to
the development Of the love for the
beautiful and the aesthetic. The
refining influence Of an attractive
building, with pleasant surround
ings, the walls adorned with pic
lures, will be felt by the child. and
the results will more than compen-
safe for the eforte and expense.
1t is significant that the spirit
Of improvement and advancement
Ia abroad in Rockbridge. Several
districts have already taken steps
for the establishment Of graded
end high schools, snd other dis
tricts, stimulated by the PROCESS
iveness of their neighbors, will not
DO long in following their lead.
The motto Of better school houses,
moro efficient teachers and longer
terms will ere long be adopted by
iii sections of the county.

THE STAGE KISS.
II Tests the Genius of the Actor and
the Actress.

IL Tests the Genius of the Actor and
the Actress.
The stage kiss Is important. There
Is nothing which so tests the genius of
an actor and an actress as the ability
under just such circumstances to pro-
duce the illusion of love. On the stage
1t is necessary for them to forget their
own personalities, to smother their
own feelings, one for the other, and In
the place Of the warped though genu-
Inc kiss we see at the railroad station
and the steamship wharf present to
our eyes by the magic of their acting a
highly artificial product
And this highly artificial product, be-
cause it is art and because it is pro-
duced by art, impresses us as real and
genuine where the actually real and
genuine would have filed us only with
derision and contempt, just as real
tears on the stage would fail to move
us. Indeed, the best stage kisses, the
kisses that are most convincing In the
way of realism, are usually given and
received by actors and actresses whose
feeling for each other in private life is,
to say the least, Indifferent. Frequent
ly, If audiences only knew. they watch
lOvemaking on the stage between men
and women who are literally at dag
gers points with each other.
I would not go so far as to say that
such a state of feeling always contrib
ltes to good stage lovemaking and to
stage kissing, but l do know
hat 1t is an automatic truth, recog-
lized by theatrical managers every
where, not to engage playfolk lovers
o enact similar roles In drama If II |
s at all possible to get any one else.--

the corporation commission said:
"We conclude that the statute

A Candidate for Governor.

The Fort Pierce News prints a COL
| umn article advocating Hon w. J.
Tucker. of that city, for Governor of
Florida.
AS this distinguished gentleman re-
sided for long time in Ocala and has
number of friends in this city and
throughout the county, we reprint
from the News the following biogra-
phical sketch of Mr.. fuckers life:
w. j. Tucker was born in 1910 in
Newnansville, Alachua county. He
was reared in Lake City, Columbia
county, where his father is buried.
The latter, Capt. John E. Tucker, who
in 1885, owned the first store in Lake
City. At that time it was called Fort
Lancaster, but was afterward chang
ed to Alligator, and then to Lake City
in 1859. Here it was that Capt. Tuck
er enjoyed the golden days of youth
and obtained the best education that
was available in those pioneer days.
At sixteen, in 1856, he was mustered
into the state service. For three years
he was one of the U. S. Mounted Vol
unteers and as a soldier boy he camp
ed on the shores of the beautiful In
dian river, which was to be his home
in after years.
In 1862 he entered the civil war as
member of the Florida cavalry and
served until '65 seeing much active
service. His only brother who was in
the Second Florida Regiment, was
killed in the battle of Seven Pines. at
Richmond, Va, in May, 1862.
On December 10, 1861, Capt. Tucker
was married to Miss Sarah Sistrunk,
whose father was a planter and a
prominent man in Marion county. She
has three nephews in Ocala now, who
are among the leading citizens there,
one a prominent lawyer and a men,
Der of the legislature, another Clerk of
the circuit court and the other Deputy
Clerk. The union was blessed with
three children, two daughters and a
son. The oldest daughter married A.
r. Anthony, of New York, who owns
large coal mines in Wilkesbarre, Pa,
and copper and zinc mines in Mis-
souri,. The youngest daughter mar
ried Judge Tye, a prominent lawyer
in williamsburg. KY. His son is a
rising young business man and plant
er here. a member of the council and
Il popular favorite.
