The Herald's
Daily Short Story

does the wind Of your future blown
Towards game shot in flight and by
no other hand but yours
Without taking a moments rest Ben
Merzoug saddled Azreg, who was still
covered with dust and foam, and jump
ing into the saddle he said 70 his
cousin:
Have no fear. tonight shall bring
you game fresh from the fragrant air
of Sahara"
He rode off, but just outside the
village he saw croaking raven and
felt fear lodging in his heart. The greet
ing Of this bird of Ill omen is said to
foretell the separation OF friends.
Soon he reached g range OF hills
where game is plentiful and the ex-
element of hunting made him forget
his sadness. His gun brought down
many cartridges and he filed his bag
until 1t would hold no more.
Then he turned back. On his way
he met a herdsman who had capture1
a young rim the graceful white ga
zelle. and its sad eyes reminded him
OF Ferahoha's. His eyes filed with
tears as he thought Of her. and he
offered the herdsman two fat female
camels in return for the tinid RIM The
offer was accepted and he bent down
and kissed the gazelle's eyes before he
set it free, whispering: II set you
free in honor of her whom You re-
semble."
Near the Village the road ran along
q cemetery where he discovered a fresh
tomb. The three stones told. him it
was the grave of a woman. The dark
pres entiments returned and made his
heart tremble with fear for the heart
learns the news far quicker than the
eyes or ears
He cried and Azreg understood his
. sorrow and scarce touched the ground
so fast was his flight.
Ben Merzoug could now see the
house. A crowd of beggars were
gathered at the door waiting for the
meal which is given to them as a gift
from the soul which has passed into
another world
He understood-his strength left
him and he slid from the side of his
horse.
The world has grown smaller my
bag" he sighed. The tomb only is
large enough to hold my despair"
A piercing whinny from the horse
made the walls tremble. 1t paved
furiously the cursed soil that robbed
its master of his dearest treasure, and
fell down dead.
What more was there for him in
this world but emptiness? Ben Mer-
zoug buried his faithful friend shroud-
ed in sheet of green silk and after
bidding Azreg a last farewell he threw
himself upon the tomb Of Ferahoha
and died.

EY experience as an employer OF
Ns labor is rather limited, and yet.
1 have noticed that the first
question that practically every one
seeking a position asks, is: Whats
the salary, and how long are the
hours?" before any demonstration OF
ability, or any indication is given that
the jobseeker Is wanted, and so the
average seeker for a position preJu-
dices his would-be employer. and plain
ly shows that the salary, rather than
the opportunity, is of most concern
The practical lesson our business and
other training schools should enforce Is
this: The quality you can put into your
work, determines the demand for sal
airy. 1t does more, 1t determines the
quality of your life. Rather insist upon
the best you are capable of; demand
of your self the best and no matter
how small your pay, make the most OF
your opportunity, and this spirit, OF
what you can put into your work, rath-
er than what you can get out deter
mines your failure or success. The
young man who haggles for the max
imum salary, while insisting on mini
mum work, will never succeed There
are too many such people who ruin all
their prospects Of success and for
dollar or two less a week, than they
think they are entitled to. slight their
work, and not only defraud their en-
ployer. but themselves.
Dishonest Work Is Stealing.
Dishonest work is stealing, and no
man can do honest work if he thinks
only Of how much money he can get
out of the job, Instead of how much
of his manhood he can put into his
work, and thus raise his salary by In
creasing his skill
The more valuable you make your
services to your employer. by superior
work, the bigger an asset you become
and your employer Will make more
money out of you the more valuable
you can make yourself, for salaries are
increased to meet the growing value Of
men, in the long run the cream will
show up on top in any establishment
Never, IN looking for position, ask
the salary, or hours, but show that
while you must have all you can get for
a start, that the opportunity is what
you want, and that through it You
mean to enlarge yourself. and thus in
crease your salary. that you look upon
q good opportunity as a character

MRS. WOODROW ENTERTAlNs AT
BLAIR VILLA

Saturday evening at her summer
home, Blair Villa" at Woodmar,
Mrs. David S. Woodrow entertained
"a happy crowd at dinner, especially
in compliment to Messrs. Charlie and
John Chazal and for her own house
guests, the others at the dinner be-
ing the members of the house party
who were at The Oaks.
Dinner was served at six o'clock.
and the dining room was most at
tractively decorated with pink and
white oleander blossoms and palms.
The long table was centered with a
mound of the pink and white olean-
ders, and twenty-five guests were
seated at the table as follows: Mrs
Woodrow, Miss Ruby Bauknight, Miss
Janet Weathers Miss Minnie Stovall,
Miss Alta Pearson, Miss Halle Ley,
Miss Nettie Cay Little, Miss Beulah
Hail. Miss Onie Chazal, Miss Blair
Woodrow, Mrs. Charles Lloyd, Mr.
Woodrow, Messrs. Charles and John
Chazal, Ben Todd, Paul Weathers,
Clarence Zewadski, Frank Harris, Jim
Rentz, William Bullock and Robert
Anderson. An elegant dinner was
served, and it was certainly done am
pie justice to by this crowd of young
people, the delicious viands disap-
pearing with remarkable rapidity.
After dinner a half hour was spent
very enjoyably, playing and singing,
after which the entire party boarded
the "Billiken" for a moonlight launch
ride entirely around beautiful Lake
Weir, which proved a very delightful
climax to perfect evening.
Mrs. Woodrow's dinner was also on
the birthday of one of the house party
guests, Miss Nettie Cay Little, which
gave an added interest to the occa-
sion.

DOES oCALA WANT A SELECT
COLLEGE?


Prof. and Mrs. George C. Looney,
formerly of Atlanta, but more recent
ily of Melrose, are in Ocala, possibly
for the purpose of establishing a Sc
lect college for a limited number Of
boys and girls, if they find a reason
able amount of encouragement and
promise of patronage among our
people.
Prof Looney. for many years, was
at the head of college in Atlanta,
only stones throw from the capitol
building, and few educators enjoy a
finer reputation or have had a more
successful career.
Becoming infatuated with the eli
mate of Florida he parted with his
college in Atlanta and established
one in MelrOse, but had the misfor-
tune to have it destroyed by fire a
few months ago. So he is now look
ing around for another location, that
is, if he can find one that suits him
better than Melrose.
Prof. Looney is the father-in-law of
Mrs. NJ. c. Leoney of this city, and it
is largely through her influence that
he has been induced to visit our city.
We hope that his efforts will meet
with encouragement, as it seems to
us that it is something that Ocala is
very much in need of
Prof. Looney is asking for no do
nations, but simply wants the moral
support of our people. He wants to
know that he will receive the right
hand-of-fellowship: that he will be
welcomed, and his college, if worthy,
viii be encouraged.

OCALA CROWD OF YOUNG PEO
PIE HAVE JOLLY FOUR DAYS
AT WOODMAR

The house party of Ocala boys and
girls who heartily enjoyed four
days stay at beautiful Woodmar-on-
Lake-Weir, returned home Monday
afternoon. Mrs Charles H. Lloyd
chaperoned the party, which included
for the entire stay the following
young people: Misses Halle Ley,
Minnie Stovall, Beulah Hall, Alta
Pearson, Nettie Cay Little, Messrs.
Jim Rentz, Robert Anderson, VILLAIN
Bullock, Clarence Zewadski and
Frank Harris. Mr. Phil Robinson was
the guest of the house party for Sun
day and Mr.. Harry Thompson of Day
tona also remained for a day and a
night at the house party, who occu-
pied the Goodwin bungalow, The
Oaks. Other visitors during their
stay were Mr.. and Mrs. E. p Rentz
and daughters, Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Rentz and baby, Pat Anderson, Olaf
Zewadski, c. H. Lloyd, Miss NJ. E.
Ley of Jacksonville and others.
The days and hours passed only
too swiftly with boating, bathing,
reading, playing cards and idling the
time away in the pleasant and ire
sponsive manner that makes house
parties so thoroughly delightful.
The many rides on the "Charonita"
and the "Noca," belonging to Mr.. Cha
zal and his sons, were particularly en-
joyable, as we'll as were the many
other courtesies extended by their
neighbors-the Woodrow family and
the Chazal family.
Altogether the trip was filed with
pleasant experiences and will not
soon be forgotten.
