THE BAND CONCERT

The concert which the Ocala Met
roLolitan bank boys gave last night in
the courthouse square from the band
stand was unusually largely attended
by our citizens, who were loud in ap-
plause and appreciation of the splen-
did music rendered. The night was
IDEAL in it's moonlit glories, the sur
roundings most appropriate to take in
all the pleasures Of the evening. The
Ocala House porch, the steps of the
courthouse and the coping that sur
rounds the walks and we'll kept lawn
lent kindly seats to the delighted and
appreciative listeners. These concerts
are growing more popular as they
progress and our people seem to
realize what a splendid musical Or
ganization we possess. That is right.
Encourage the boys. Why not arrange
free will offering at each concert
70. the benefit of the band? Who
could refuse to contribute a quarter
or more or less, at these delightful
entertainments.

CLASS DAY AT VASSAR

Five thousand spectators, the larg-
est gathering ever assembled at Vas
sar College, says the New York World
saw the beautiful open air exercises
of class day this afternoon. The 211
seniors, no two of them dressed alike,
with arms heavy laden with daisies,
marched from the main building to
stage in front of the library where
the exercises were held They We're
led by the marshal, Miss Helen Bar
stow Josselyn, of Wollaston, Mass.
At the head of the procession, all in
white. marched the twenty four pref
tiesr girls of the sophomore class who,
until another daisy chain brings forth
the fairest of another sophomore class,
will be known as the Bellies Of Vas
SAL" The thousands of daisies form
ing the chain were all picked by stu
dents. 1t is the undergraduates trib-
ute to the graduating class.
After the address of welcome by
Martha Pattison Bowie, president Of
1905, reading the class history and
prophecy, the chain was borne to the
class tree and arranged in a huge cir
Gle, within which the seniors gathered
and buried the class records under the
tree, each girl throwing a flower into
the grave. while original class songs
were sung in chorus.
The spade was turned over to Miss
Ruth Elizabeth Presley. who accepted
in for the junior class.
Miss Francis B. Anderson, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Anderson, of

institution of learning. Mr. and Mrs.

that he is such a happy combination
of Scion and Aristides?
If Bittinger is elected, he will go to
the legislature believing that the
democratic voters of Florida have
picked out a hundred average good
men to represent them: he will con-
fer with them as men who have the
best interests of their state at heart,
and will do what he can to further
those interests. He will strive for
economy, he will oppose extravaganza
and corruption, if he finds 1t. but he
Will do these things by business meth
DDS and not by spectacular exhibit
tions.
Light poses as the farmers candi-
de- te-prOclaims that he alone under
stands the farmers needs and can
legislate for him.
Bittinger was brought up on a
farm. He has titled Marion county
soil, and in all the years of his news
paper life he has kept in close touch
with the men who do the work on
which all our national prosperity rests.
But If Bittinger goes to the Florida
legislature, he will do his best to rep
ISSchl TIC pcOplc, dNu Uc-
lieves he can do 1t. There is no call
ing in which man has so great an
opportunity to learn what the people
have and what they lack, what they
want and what they do not want, as
the newspaper business. For twenty
years. not as a candidate, but as a
journalist, a neighbor and fellow citi-
zen, Bittinger has traversed. Marion
county, meeting and greeting the far
mer, the merchant, the mechanic, the
miner, the lumber man, and the man
OF every other calling, being told Of
their conditions, their hopes and their
fears, and telling them again TO their
neighbors in the next community. and
their fellow citizens on the other side
of the county, and he challenges not
only Light, but any other man, to
prove, that he knows any more about
the people of Marion. A man who
tries to represent class will do harm,
not good. to not only that class, but
all the others.
One thing Is certain and that is,
when the votes are counted and the
result announced, Bittinger will have
neither undue elation nor regret. The
campaign has been a pleasant expe-
rience to him. He has met many old
friends and made some new ones. He
knows that his feelings have not been
hurt, and he hopes that he has hurt
no one. If elected, he will do his ear
nest, level best to represent Marion
county. If not, he will congratulate
his opponent, and go on as he has for
years, gathering news and subscribers
for the Star. The people sometimes
do so when they choose.

A LAST WORD

Let us all try to keep cool and
cheerful in these last days Of the
campaign. The country is not in any
danger. There are no very bad men
running for office. The man who was
good citizen, a good neighbor, good
friend, six months ago, is probably
one today. Politics may have warped
Judgment, but it has not changed
character. The better you keep your
temper, the better you can understand
public men and public measures. It
is your duty to study politics and your
duty to vote, but you will be foolish
today and sorry tomorrow if you are
urtruthful and unkind toward your
fellow citizens. Let us all give one
another respectful attention, consider
carefully who are the best men, vote
for them and accept the result cheer
fully. This country was never so far
from the dogs as it is today, and it
gets further every time the world
turns around.

THE BASEBALL GAME
Yesterday Resulted in Oeala Being
Defeated by the Leesburq Team.

\ good crowd attended the ball
game yesterday, among the spectators
being quite a number of ladies, oc-
cupying seats in the grand stand and
liz carriages and automobiles. Post
master Crom umpired the game and
came in for that officials usual
share of good natured criticism.
The visiting team from Leesburg
was composed of as fine lot Of gem
tlemanly young fellows as you can
find in any community and they play
the game for all there is in it, The
game was full Of interest if the visit
ing boys did beat the home team to
the tune of to 0.
The fault with our boys was that
they have had no practice and they
plainly showed it, G. Gillispie pitched
for Leesburg and ]. Wicker did the
catching. Howard Clark and Don
Ford composed the Ocala battery. A.
Frank was recognized as the wit of
the afternoon and kept the crowd in
good humor all afternoon.
RaysOr for 'Ocala made the only
safe hit scored for Ocala, while Harris
and Galloway made catches that oc-
casioned much applause. Probably the
most spectacular play Of the afternoon
was when Harris made a wonderful
catch turning a back somersault and
rolling over the ground but never once
losing his grip on the ball. which so
excited a mule hitched to a East Flor-'
ida Ice Co. wagon that he literally got
up on his hind legs and deposited
them in the drivers seat and the COM
motion that followed his mule trick
rut several vaudeville performances to
shame. The afternoon was greatly
enjoyed and other Thursday afternoon
games are looked forward to with
pleasure.

oped a good sized trash pile. which
they required the editor to burn. He
put the trash into the open field and

came along and started the flames to
playing all kinds of pranks in the
grass, setting it on fire and running
toward a $4,000 orange grove and
then We became scared and began
fighting the flames and yelling like
a cluster of Sioux Indians, which
brought forth Mesdames Jake Brown
and Bittinger and the whole of the
Sage family, Eren Young, Mary Mente
and Annie Laurie Perry, wo were
visiting the Sage family and the way
they fought the fierce flames quickly
showed they were true descendants of
the original Ocala fire fighting bril-
gade and it was only through their
heroic efforts that great damage was
saved the <DeLane grove. We never
worked so hard in our lives for thirty
minutes and the perspiration that ran
into our shoes about filled them and
WI hen the victory was won there was
not a dry rag on our body and we

A FABLE WITH A MORAL

There was once a Jester who was
tired of his job, so he resolved to go
to his august master, who was his
master during the other months of
the year also, and beg to be released,
so that he could seek fresh fields and
PASTURES new, says Lippincott's. When
the King and his courtiers saw him
approaching they began to litter; but
the jester went straight to the throne
and sank upon one knee
Sire" he said, for many years
have capered and grimaced to amuse
you, and now 1 fain would rest"
HE fain would rest!" repeated the
monarch, his sides shaking with mirth
"Sire, II have a family in far away
Provence"
"Ho ho!" laughed the King. "Ha
hal" echoed the courtiers. He he!"
giggled the courtieresses.
"And 1 beg of your majesty permits
SION"
isn't he the funniest thing!" said
the King.
ITO let me go and see them" fin
ished the jester.
The King was wiping his eyes. which
were full of tears Of merriment. Take
him away, somebody" he said, "or
shall die of laughing. He grows fun
Dier every day."
Attendants surrounded the jester
and forced him kindly but firmly from
the royal presence.
And he is still the Kings jester.
Moral: 1t is sometimes harder to
lose reputation than to acquire one.
