UNCLE ~ WALT
WHERE TxzE sUrIFLOwER. GROWS
THE WARRIOR

One day, in times of yore, a knight
went out for gore, with sword and
shield and lance; his helm was
wrought of steel, spur was on his
heel, a blacksmith made his pants.
And as he rode along, so valiant, big
and strong. he said, in undertones:
"Old prunesl This junk wear but
fills me with despair! It's crushing
half my bonesl They say that l am
brave when / my banner wave, and
plunge into the scrap, when to bat
tie prance and prod up with my lance
some unoffending chap. But I'm not
brave enough to shed this hardware
stuff and wear burlay sack; a poor
old knight must reel around in rusty
steel until it breaks his back I fear
the caustic laugh, fear the jest and
chaff of idle lad and lass, and so I
pack around about five hundred
pounds of clanking iron and brass"
That good old knight is dead; foe
man broke his head five hundred years
ago; and bards write joking rhymes
about him and his times, when all was
empty show. And as the poet writes,
his lips in pain he bites-his corns
are on the jump; because his neigh
bors do, he wears too small a shoe.
Man always a chump.

A SUGGESTION FROM GOVERNOR
GILcHRIST

Tallahassee, Fla, March 6, 1911.
The attention of Governor Gilchrist
has been invited to the following:
San Jose, CAL, March 1.-San Jose
today celebrated invitation day by
mailing the first lot of 100000 invi-
tations, which are to be sent by Cal
ifornians to friends and Acquaintance
es throughout the east, inviting them
to locate in this state. The movement
was started by the Southern Pacific
Railway and is designed to attract
permanent settlers rather than tour
lists. Each county in California is to
send out its quota of invitations
which are in the form of attractive
cards bearing views of the different
localities"
1t looks to Governor Gilchrist as if
the southern railways should be get
ting busy, with view of getting i'm
migrants to Florida There are many
who visit Florida from other portions
of the United States and from the
world at large who could be induced
to send literature to their friends and
relatives in various portions of the
world. The boards of trade of the
several cities and towns in Florida
could accomplish much along the
lines indicated. 1t does seem strange
that people will go to the cold, desert,
rainless areas of some portions of the
west when they could come to Florida
where the conditions are so much bet
ter.
