GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.

He is growing long and awkard.
He is slipping out of knee pants into
long trousers. His voice is husky
and squeeky by turns and there ap-
pears hair line on his upper lip.
He is self conscious and sneaks off
behind the barn and practices bass
tones trying to control his voice, and
he hooks his daddy's lather brush
and razor and at the risk of cutting
his nose-he scrapes off that embryo
mustache. He feels he must carry
himself with greater dignity, and his
self Importance sticks out of him if
for moment he can associate with
men.
A girl of sixteen can make him
run, but he leans kindly to the gentle
miss of thirty and his calf love may,
as like rs not, be directed to the
older girl.
He's alright, this growing boy.
Give him a chance. Don't laugh
him down. Let him have a kindly
lift. Speak him fair. Raise his am
bition. Don't spoil his young soul
by repeating doubtful stories and
don't damn his life by inviting him
into saloon.
That boy wants chance. Every
older man ought to give it to him,
and, however shady his own life may
be, he should be able to congratulate
himself that he has put no stumbling
block in the way of that boy.-Or-
lando Reporter Star.

Commissioner McLin, in his offic-
ial report to the governor, says that
the clerical forces Of his office is not
sufficient for the proper discharge of
its duties, and asks that the legisla-
ture provide him with more clerks.
This is the proper way to go about
this matter. The Legislature will no
doubt investigate the conditions in
the commissioner office, and if his
statements are found to be correct,
and there is no reason to doubt them,
he will unquestiOnably be given the
assistance asked for. The legislature
should be the only power authorized
to allow these clerks in the capitol
building, and the system now in
vogue of allowing the different
boards to employ clerical assistance
as they see fit is bad.-Pensacola

On the assembling of the legisa-
ture listen out for the blowing of
trumpets, the sounding of poems Of
praise as every member is seated.
Every one will be pointed to as a
commanding figure and the crown of
craftsmanship will decorate each
brow. But at the ending in June,
how will it be? The praise will have
become feint and some of the giants
will have grown to pigmies. Better
to go out than to come in with the
sounding of trumpets and the carry
ing of flowers. The man who holds
his own at the finish will be the true
patriot and statesman. If all will do
this what glory the present legisla-
ture will shed over Florida. We
hope every member will go out a yer.
liable flower garden and with the
plaudit: well done, thou good and
FAITHFUL servant. "-Ocala Banner.

This weeks edition Of the Punta
Gorda Herald contains a half-tone
illustration of the new Herald build
ing and OF editor Adrian P. Jordan.
That illustration is going to make
the state press envious, for the struc-
ture is evidently large and substan-
tial one and credit to Punta Gorda.
AS for the photograph, a study of the
features does not suggest in the
slightest degree the propensity of the
original for telling fish stories. With
all his faults, Florida newspaper
men still have fondness for the
Punta Gorda editor.-St. Augustine

The automobile race from Jackson
willie to this city recently proves con-
clusively the ground taken by the
Record long ago-that if our COM
missioners would fix up the bad
place, our roads would be quite pas
sable until we can give them hard
surface. Bridges need repairs, and
in places a little grading would
make a world of difference. If we
expect people tocome here instead of
going to California, we must give
them some of the advantages sup
piled out there. If we had a good
wide-awake roadmaster, whose word
was law, our roads would be far bet
ter than they are now.--St. Angus

Since the adjournment of the last
Legislature, have given much
thought and study to this subject, and
have compiled much data and in
formation relating to the subject Of
State Life Insurance. My investi-
cations have convinced me that the
idea advanced in my message to the
Legislature of 1906 is practical and
beneficial, and should receive the
careful investigation of this Legis-
lature.

Registered Sheep.

w. H. Williams, who is owner
of the T. w. Boone ranch has just
returned from the East where he
went for the purpose of buying
thoroughbred registered sheep. He
informs The Tribune that he bought
288 rams and 43 ewes back and now
has them at his ranch. The sheep
are of Shropshire breed and are all
choice selections and win be sold at
much less prices than this class of
sheep are usually sold for.
Mr.. Williams contemplates maxi
ing his ranch model stock farm, he
he is in position and will handle
horses, cattle and sheep. nothing but
registered stock will be kept ON the
farm. It Is fortunate for the ran
cheers and stockgrowers in this val
ley that Mr.. Williams has decided to
establish his industry in this section,
as 1t will enable all who desire to
visit and inspect the stock without
expense before buying. The sheep
will be sold on liberal terms. The
prices for rams are $4,000 and ram
lambs will be bought or taken as part
payment at $500. This arrange
ment will greatly assist In getting a
good breed of sheep established in
this county. Mr.. Williams will move
his family to Caldwell next week and
mail addressed to him here will re-
ceIve prompt attention.

Superintendent has been busy during
the last two weeks, examining Sth

enacted a law, compelling all schools
in the county to send In 9Th grade
examination papers on the branches
included in that grade. It necessari-
" follows that there we're severa! pa
pers to be examined. Through the
courtesy of Miss Bean The Tribune
10 enabled to publish the names OF
those of the scholars who received
100 per cent In any branch. There
were over 100 pupils who passed.
but there was but thirty who got
100 per cent in any studies. The av-
erage is not so high as It was year
ago, this il caused by the number Of
schools being closed by reason of
small pox. diphtheria, and other con-
tagious diseases that were prevalent
during the past six months. Then
again. many of the schools are over
crowded. Take, for instance Payette.
the 9Th grade has but one teacher,
