Invite Visitors
to the Fair.

Every Pensacolian has more or less
friends and acquaintance living in
other counties, cities and states who
might be induced to attend the Inter
state Fair through a personal appeal
or invitation.
Thousands Of prospective visitors
may be undecided whether to come
or stay away. when a personal invi-
tation from friend OF even an ac-
auaintance would turn the scale in
favor Of Pensacola and the fair.
The Journal would urge every per-
son in the city to write to a few ac-
quaintances, tell them something
about the great exposition and of the
attractions Pensacola has to offer at
this delightful season of the year,
and cordially offer to show them
Ground and to do all possible things
to make the visit pleasant and mem
orable one.
The result Will be surprising and
many hundreds of the most desirable
people might be brought to the city
who would otherwise remain at home
A little personal touch of hospitality
sometimes is very potent Try 1t.

Progress of
the Campaign.

So far the presidential campaign
has been rather uneventful. It was a
foregone conclusion that President
Taft had little or no opportunity to
be reelected. The members of the
national Republican committee, who
forced his nomination at Chicago,
knew this at the time, but they also
knew that with the defeat of Taft in
the convention. the entire Republican
organization would disintegrate and
be swept away before the rush Of
progressiveism- These men chose de-
feat for their party rather than for
themselves. Since the convention the
Republicans have apparently made
little effort to carry the country.
Nothing unusual or unexpected has
happened in the campaign Of Colonel
Roosevelt The Pensacola Journal pre-
dicted from the beginning that those
who were inclined to belittle the eff
forts of the Bull Moose, would be dis
appointed in November. Roosevelt
will undoubtedly get a large popular
vote and will probably carry several
states. Still there has been no frantic
rush on the part of the populace to
Join his standard. He is getting about
that support at present that the close
observers thought he would get.
AS for Governor Wilson, his cause
has been steadily growing. He start

A Happy Old Age
Lies Sr1artest Blessing.

A woman has declared that at 10s
she is in better health and happier
than at any previous time in her nfe
Surely, a woman who is healthy at
los ought to be happy. She would
have to be happy to be healthy
None but happy disposition could
carry one through SO many years. A
gloomy temperament would strangle
life out of the body long before the
age of 106.
The human body can no more thrive
in shadow than can a rose. We live
by desire to live. Enjoyment Of and
life supply.
Old age ought to be the happiest
period of life, particularly for a wom-
an. If she has kept her mind active
and has wisely refused to settle into
the dull rut that people always have
ready for her, she can begin in old age
to enjoy life in earnest.
In old age there Is no more worry
about the babies, no more suffering
for others The children are grown
up and, if her part has been well done,
they are a prop and solace to her.
Grandchildren are a delight without
the bitter constant worry.
The woman grown old in years
should be at her best mentally. She
is free to indulge her tastes, enjoy
good play. a good book and the con-
versation of congenial minds.
Women retain their vitality and
spirits longer than men do. The bur-
dens of life fall from them gradually
and the peace of retirement from ac-
tive duties comes upon them little by
little and almost imperceptibly.
! The man often must suffer at once
the shock of laying down the business
to which his life has been devoted
and afterward there is less to tie him
to existence.
But the woman grows into her new
| condition naturally and she uncon-
sciously adapts herself to it.
Insurance people hold the woman's
life to be a greater risk than the
| mans until the period Of maternal
sufferings and cares are over. After
that she is a better risk than the man
The woman old in years but young
in spirit is the sweetest blessing man.

If her life is not as sweet bless
| ing to. herself as 1t is to others 1t Ii
because she has failed to find pleas
urable occupations in place of the en-
forced ones which have fallen from
| her.
There is nothing more pathetic thar
| idle and dull old age. And nothing
more beautiful and sweet than agt
that is active and alert, and in con.
sequence, happy.

The Goldfish.
BY Roy X. MouIton.

The Goldfish.
The Goldfish is a handsome bird
With plumage fair to see,
He is true and steadfast friend
And makes a hit with me.
He fingers round the grocery store,
His odor is immense.
To meet him once Is but to feel
His presence decades hence.
Ho is stranger in the land,
His home is far away
Amid the oceans breaking waves
And headlands' foamy spray.
He's not only an ornament
But has a mission here.
He is a constant friend in need
When other grub is dear.
How often in the frosty eve,
How often, o, how oft,
Have we hied to the corner store,
And in a whisper soft,
Requested to be shown our friend
And clasp him to our breast,
And force him to go home with us
And be our honored guest
He's been at our home quite a lot
At meal time, don't you know,
He is the only birdN for us,
We've learned to love him so.
He's bound to stay with US a spell,
At least a month or so,
Until the weather. moderates
And stops the cold and snow,
We would enjoy a change of fare,
But we can't make it quite,
While we must pay out all our dough
For naught but anthracite.

And you're surely on the blink.

And you think there amt no chance
That you're going to live till morning.

With sciatic rheumatic,
Who's been laid up since last Christ

And compare your woe with his.
