FROG FANTAISE IN r MINOR

Under the lilyy pads and things
The big old bullfrog squats;
His greenish hide is thick, b'jings,
With warts and Jumps and knots.
And when he swells himself and
His voice is rough in spots.
His thighs are thick and big and
strong;
Yet he enjoys his ease;
And when the echoes of his song
Are borne upon the breeze,
His normal slope, unless I'm wrong,>
Is forty-five degrees.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him sound his gong all
right,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a bruiser spelling for fight
When there isn't any foe.
On Sundays come the village boys,
With fishing poles, red rags
And sticks and stones; and then his
voice
Mysteriously lags.
He hides himself-he has no choice
Down deep amid the flags.
Squatting, hiding, believing,
Onward through life he goes;
He eats a little tries to sing.
And MARBLES through his nose.
He doesn't have to do thing
To earn a nights repose.
Thanks. thanks to thee, my warty
friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus, in the great frogpond of life,
Our fortunes must be wrought:
There's nothing else on earth to do
But keep from getting caught!

crowded with the mists Of ignorance
and superstition, while now at the
dawn of the twentieth century OF the
Christian era the descendants of
those people are among the foremost
advocates of civilization and of Chris
tian progress.
All these mighty changes have been
wrought through the holy Influence of
the name of the lowly carpenter of
Nazareth, and the very fact that Bis
name has echoed down the ages with
such talismanic force and power, It
seems to me, ought to convince the
most skeptical that He was indeed
the Son of God, and that we, through
Him, shall live again.
Born in a stable at Bethlehem in
old Judea, Graded in a Manager, rock
ed at and reyiled by His chosen peo-
pie, to us He is the Prince OF Peace,
the atonement for our sins, the Son
of God, and wherever His name is
spoken with reverence and love, there
we shall find the light of learning, of
civilization, of progress and of the
equality of man.

NATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION
TO BE INVITED TO
JACKSONVILLE

Letters were mailed out today by
the board of trade inviting the Ma
tional Press Association to come to
Jacksonville for the 1912 annual meet
ing. R. F. Mccormick, editor of the
Suwannee Democrat, and president of
the State Press Association, will also
extend an invitation to the organiza-
ton to meet in the Florida metropo-
lis.
The association is one of the most
important in the nation. The number
OF delegates attending the meetings
is not large-being about 500-but
owing to the nature of the work of
those who are members their deliber-
ations are of great Importance to the
country at large.
The members of the association are
all active newspaper men, and as a
result each city which has the honor
of entertaining the association gets
hundreds of columns of the very best
advertising. This body of men has
never met in this section of the coun-
try, and their coming will mean much,
both for this city and state.
Some of the best known editors of
the country are among the most act
i've members. There is no objection
on the part of any of the delegates to
coming south, and it is thought that
when the association convenes, July
18th, in Detroit, Jacksonville will
have many friends who will work for
the selection of this city as the next
meeting place.
Florida will send four delegates To
the convention, all of whom will work
for the bringing of the meeting to this
city. Several other southern states
will line up for this city as we'll, as
will many northern states.-Satur-
days Jacksonville Metropolis.

ROADS IN WESTERN MARION

To the editor Ocala Banner:
Mr.. Coulter s communication about
neglected roads in western Marion
county reminds me-a Levy county
man-of experience of his a few
nights ago. Three of us leaving Nor
riston to consult a physician in
Blitchton and after we had crossed
into Marion county collided with a
beautiful stump which we'll nigh
ruined the stump's appearance, put
the car out of commission necessita-
ting our three sick fellows) having
to walk back to Morriston.
"A little, neglect may breed great
mischief"
I narrate this because of the near
ness of the stump to the roads rut
and the certainty that one minutes
effort would suffice for it's removal.

Hon. t. w. Schofeld of Inverness,
representative Citrus county IN
the last legislature, spent yesterday
in the city attending to matters OF
business and mingling with his many
friends. Mr.. Schofield is one OF the
most enthusiastic good roads support
ers in the state, and reports that his
county is doing wonders in the way OF
building good roads. From Dunnellon
in Marion to Inverness already mas
been built a splendid road, and from,
Inverness to Floral City. distance oil
about thirty miles, another good road
is being built. The Crystal River
road is to be continued to the county
line
Mr.. Schofeld says that his little
city is hustling in the way OF new
buildings and general improvement.
OF recent .erections are the county
court house, built at cost OF $780,
600; the Masonic temple, at cost OF
$4,000, and many other buildings OF
lesser importance. Within fifteen
days the Seaboard Air Line viii
reach Inverness. and will build
brick depot, which will equal any
thing of the kind between Tampa and
Jacksonville Tampa Times.

THE NEWSPAPER AND SUICIDE.

Human civilization owes very much
OF its progress to free press. The
press has perhaps contributed more
than any other single agency toward
that enlightenment of the human race
which is steadily working for its COM
plete mental emancipation so neces-
stry to the development of man in his
full capacity. Hence we are surprised
to read that at recent conference of
the American Academy of Medicine
at Los Angles a committee appointed
to inquire into causes of suicide rec
commended that the press be request
ed not to publish accounts of suicide
cases, the recommendation being in
spired by the old familiar argument of
the effect of suggestion upon weak
minds. Commenting upon the recon-
mendation of the committee the New
York World observes:
The argument effects other things
than the press and more evils than
one. Almost every human mind is
susceptible to influences exerted not
only by newspapers, but by books,
sermons, theaters, pictures and table
talk. The effect of the influence. how
from which it flows but upon the
mind upon which it acts. That which
effects an insane mind unhealthfully
is wholesome for the sane. The pub
LEGATION of details of suicide may in
cline one man to follow the example
but may deter ten others from courses
that tend to suicide. When, for exam
pie, the press publishes that one man
kills himself for a wanton, another
on account of losses in speculation,
another because of drink and another
because of sheer WEAKNESS of life, the
effect upon sane minds will certainly
not be that of prompting suicide, but
of refraining from bad practices. The
business of doctor is to deal with
the unhealthy and the insane. A
new SpdpCI , 10 lOI sane pSOplS.

the news, and to it may be safely left

and what portion of the news is fit to

bar of public reason; freedom Of re-
ligion and freedom of the press

OLD GLORY

The following lines were read at
the Baptist picnic last Tuesday, COM
memorative Of the fact that the flag
that flies above the halls of congress
is never replaced by a new one, but
is simply repaired as needed:
Old Glory floats above the halls,
Where sit the sons of freedom.
The sun may kiss her silken folds,
Or rain and storm may beat them;
But never does she yield her place
To banners new and gaudy;
She is the emblem of our race,
A people proud and hardy!
Her place is high, her face is marred,
But grandly is she waving.
Our place is high, and we are SCARED
With wounds for honor's saving.
Whenever a stripe has blown away,
There's quickly found another;
And when the sun shuts down the day
The two are sewn together.
Perpetual life Old Glory has,
She's whole, with all her piecing;
And while her stripes with pride she
wears,
Her stars keep on increasing.
