AUSTIN FINLAY JOINER, JR.

At last there is hope Methought
Joyner, livery junior-was the just
man made perfect; but he comes now
upon the stage (see Banner March 19
-unlucky date) and actually says he
is an occasional smoker" o, joy!
Now we know he is not yet a winged
cherub.
In other talks wherein he figured
as the star boarder at hotels, where
sinners drank poisonous coffee and
deadly tea, while he alone imbibed
pure water, one felt weak and guilty.
He says pure water" but as I'm
told there are microbes and other
fearsome wild animals in the water,
l hesitate to take much of it in it's
unadulterated state.
He has kindly omitted to illuminate
any anathemas against cocoa, choc-
olate or milk, | observe, but the lat
ter, being brought in a suggestive
bottle, may yet come under the ban.
One would think such very mild
tipple as water-even microby water
make for a genial disposition
In the consumer, but Junior Joyner
uses very harsh language towards
those whom he seems to consider his
liars, Knockers" etc.,
sounds an echo of T. r.
Well, so long, occasional smoker"
dee-lighted to have met you.

JUST a LITTLE SODA WATER
STORY
Written for the ocala BannerO

Written for the Ocala Banner.)
There is man in our town who is
undoubtedly first cousin to young
Memo of the comic papers, for, like
Memo, he is very comical person.
This man had a dream-a day
dream-that may prove prophetic.
He dreamed that everything drink
able was taken out of the county;
that there was nothing left in Ocala
but the city water, and all of us
know that it is strong with carbon
ate of lime and is not very stimulat-
ing, and does not quench thirst like
lemonade or coca-cola. This man was
suffering with thirst for soda water,
and it was all gone. He went to Jack
sonville, and found it was all gone
from there also. The last carload
was being shipped to Macon. So the
man got on the same train and fol-
lowed it. To be sure to keep it in
sight he got in the car just behind the
soda. His thirst was burning hot.
But at last it got to Macon, and the
man followed it, He got off and ask
ed where he could find a place at
which he could quench his thirst.
Someone told him where to go and
described the place so infinitely that
he could not fail to find it. He finally
arrived and recognized the building.
But, horrors The place was guarded
by tiger. Now the gentleman had
heard of blind tigers, but this one
had eyes-wide-open eyes-and was
staring at him in hungry way.
Mercy" he cried. do they let
such beasts run at large around
here?" He could not, thirsty as he
was, summon up courage enough to |
pass the brute; so he went on and |
made further inquiries. Again he re-
ceived explicit directions to a thirst
quencher. And, again, he found a IT,
ger of the same appearance as the
first; but he hoped this one was
blind. He tried to pass it. 1t growl-
ed, and he fed; and in his travels he
found a third tiger just like the 9TH
er two. Near by he met a policeman,
to whom he reporte dthe tiger To
sether they marched on the animal,
but when they got there the whole II
hing had changed. The tiger had on
IN apron, and was sitting on a shoe
makers bench, mending shoes. 1t 1t
had a human face but bore the {
stripes of the tiger. Then the scene S
changed and the dreamer found him S
elf in Savannah--bu still thirsty. t
He asked a policeman where he
'ould get something to drink, and the e
copper pointed to a church, and said: @
My friend, you can't get anything S
here!" h
And, once again, the scene chang E
d. This time the dreamer of dreams S
ound himself in South Carolina. He u
around for a long time, h
turning with thirst. Suddenly he re- a
ognized his surroundings. He was
Ben's back yard. Now, he knew f,
Zen; they were old friends. and here h
he torturing thirst was Quenched f,
rom "the old oaken bucket that hung b
4 the we'll" +,
Then, after spending a time in his a
ative state, he returns to his home. g
ringing a fond remembrance of that P
DOL, refreshing drink from that dear
Id Oaken bucket.
