 To the ordinary man and woman no conception Of the torture to which the poor, unfortunate goose Is put could possibly be formed.

 Feet. wings and bodies are spread out and bound by bands. % that only tho neck Is left free. AS may be imag- ined, the animal struggles with all its might against this stretching till, after days of vain endeavor to free Itself from the bands and Its position. Its powers of resistance are overcome, and . dull resignation. broken only by its low cries. takes possession of It. Two months must pass~away before death brings relief.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES
AT GRACE CHURCH

The Christmas services at Grace
Episcopal church were well attended
and Rector Harrison preached an
earnest and forceful sermon on the
birth OF Christ and its significance TO
the world 1t was an appeal for all
men to turn to him and his teachings
and live the true and only happy life.
The church was beautifully dec
Grated and presented a lovely appear

most effectively and delightfully."-.
The organ is without doubt the fin

the rich notes as they rose and fell
under the artistic touch of the organ
list produced a most pleasing and i'm
pressive effect
The members Of the choir wore
their gowns and caps and as they
marched from the vestry room to
their places in the chancel, to the
notes of the instrument, presented a
very pretty and pleasing picture. The

CHRISTMAS DAY IN ocALA

Christmas day was unusually well
observed in Ocala. The only business
houses closed for the day outside of
the pOstoffce and banks, were the n.
r. Masters Co. and the Marion Hard
ware Co The other merchants re-
manned open until noon. when they
closed and went home to dinner.
while there were a good many peO-
pie on the streets and doing consid-
cradle trading. in the main. the day
was quiet. 4 great many visitors and
friends were in town, the giests OF
other friends and the social board
groaned under the toOthsome edibles
dispensed on that day and all enjoyed
regal repasts and good cheer and
good cOmradship prevailed in many
homes to brighten the happy hours as
they sped along TO the shadows Of the
night
Al in all IL was a very pleasant
day, though in the afternoon dust
hew in clouds and made Z very dis
agreeable for persons down town.

HOLIDAY TRADE

Early in the month the merchants
view Of trade prospects for the holt
days based on the fact of unremun-
erative prices for truck during the
summer months and Indifferent prices
FOR lumber as well as a general re-
dUctiOn OF wages in the phosphate
mines. as well as other industries in
the country. but the fair week and
the week preceding Christmas trade
began to pick up and customers kept
coming and this cheerful state of
commerce continued until Thursday
morning. when the crowd was so aug
mented that at time the sidewalk on
the south side Of the square was con-
tested and most of the merchants had
their hands full to take care of their
customers and when the grand rush
wound UP at shutdown and the stores
closed late That night IL was the
general consensus of opinion that the
Christmas trade Of the town was as
good as it has averaged for the past
ten years. Several of our merchants
those who were the most persistent
advertisers. say that it was the best
seasons trade they ever did. The
merchants all wear a cheerful smile
and feel that they have not labored in
vain. The hunting up of the old
stockings in which the holiday money
WAS slowed away for the past year
coming to the light and the fact that
Ocala merchants had the goods, GER
taiuly brought the returns.

owner Of many millions. rs she sits
at her private desk in the biz bank she
owns in New York city.
Since the days of Russell Sage this
woman has more ready cash to lend
than any other person in Gotham
When taxes come in slowly and the
city authorities need money to meet
the heavy expenses they go TO Hetty
Green for it-and pay good interest
for the short loan, you may be sure.
For many years Hetty Green lived
IN cheap fat in Hoboken, just across
the river from Manhattan, and paid
therefor a rental Of SIC per month
New York gasped when she gave up
her fat and moved into the high priced
Plaza hotel 1t did not last long.
though Hetty could have bought the
hotel and never missed the money.
She went back to HOboken and tried
70 rent the old fat, but 1t had been
leased. She is still looking for a fat
in that neighborhood.
You see. rents are cheaper and Hr-
ing Is cheaper In Hoboken. And the
grasping old woman pinches the nick
els closer than you or l.
She lives only to pile up extra dol
lars.
So far as known, Hetty Green never
gave away a dollar 1t would be diff
ficult to make her believe In the beati-
tude. 1T is more blessed to give than
to receive"
Therefore it is almost superduous TO
inquire whether, with all her dollars,
she is happy.
Not necessarily. Dollars won by
commercial conquest may give to the
conqueror certain species OF salts
faction. but dollars cannot bring hap
piness. Happiness and dollars belong
to different worlds.
Wealth itself Is like salt water.
That Is TO say. the more you drink of
either the more you want.
And so this money mad little wo-
man. at a time when she ought to be
dancing her grandchildren on her knee,
sits long hours In the bank. Besides
the bank which she controls. she has
many millions invested IN real estate
and securities.
She denies herself the comforts de.
manded by a twelve dollar a week
clerk and goes on squeezing out dol
| lars.

NOT AN Ausplclous BEGINNING

young colored man from Martel
got into trouble Thursday by imbib
ing too much fire water. Result, he
got into the jug. When he revived
enough to realize his unpleasant and
restrained position, he began a wall
about his dear wife. He kept up the
sad and heartrending wall for fully an
hour. and the marshal knew there
was something unusual in the plant
i've wall. Shortly after a colored wo-
man accosted the marshal to ascer
tain IL he had seen her man." for
whom she had been searching in
vain. He informed her there was a
gentleman of color in the cooler, but
could not say whether or not IL was
her man" She begged permission
to interview him and sure enough it
was the person sought. but her arrival
ut the Jail only intensified the walls
OF the maudiin individual on the in
side She inquired the price of his
freedom 1t was given. She said she
had the amount and demanded his
immediate release. The marshal said
he was i'm no condition to be turned
out. "Oh. I'll take care of him." she
replied. But how can you the Of
ticer asked. why" said the woman.
Tn get the wagon and haul him off. :"
Very we'll" replied the marshal. IF
you will do that you can have him"
She got the team and the marshal
had the man placed in the wagon and
the woman struck a bee line for Mar

morning and came to Ocala to enjoy

WALKING AS AN EXERCISE.

This heart to heart talk will be about
the benefit Of walking as an exercise
and the why.
You know physicians recommend this
as the best all around exercise known
TO them.
Why?
Let's put the matter In plain speech
and print out the main words In capt
tai letters:
In the first place. when you walk
you RAISE THE TEMPERATURE
OF YOUR BODY. II is like putting a
lot Of coal In the stove and opening
the draft. There's something doing.
Waste Is being carried of and your
muscles and nerves get needed nutri-
ment when the temperature Is raised.
Besides, you BREATHE MORE
DEEPLY when you walk. And that
puts more oxygen In your blood, and
oxygen is LIFE.
And there's the skin. Millions Of
pores-little sewers-are opened up.
Precipitation carries of waste. waste
which if it stayed in your blood would
poison you.
And your DIGESTION-walking aids
that process and puts an edge on your
appetite. And good digestion waits on
appetite.
But that Is not all
There's your diaphram. That useful
thing is sort of movable stage plat.
form between the chest and the aldo.
men. 1t is raised or lowered by the
contraction or swelling OF the lungs
When the lungs are filed the dlaphram
goes down and presses upon the liver,
stomach and spleen.
Now
This movement of the diaphraln up
and down. especially down. is like a
massage on the liver, stomach and
spleen. The massage helps to keep
those organs in good order, especially
the liver. He who walks regularly
and Systematically will have no liver
troubles.
Nothing is here said about the MEN
tai BENEFITS-th exhilaratiOn thai
comes from being in the open, the JOY
that comes in knowing that your whole
organism is in good working order
and the reaction of the mind on the
body.
Do you see? Especially that about
the diaphram?
1t pays to walk. purely as beneficial
exercise. TO say nothing Of the enjoy
ment. 1t pays big.
He who constructed POUR body die
not intend you to ride. He gave you
two legs.

there was no fire in that section. the
