Unchitdish pleasures really
dwarf the mind, the will and the
emotions, There is no reason why
children should see many plays,
even though the plays may be
fairly unobjectionable, or that
they should have the Indulgence
Of very extravagant clothes,
even If these can be afforded, or
that they should speed with their
parents through foreign countries
in s. motor and fancy they have
seen all there is to he seen in the
world.
Pleasure in simple amusements
can be easily cultivated and will
prove blessing through life. An
attraction in character is to keep
the eager, unspoiled sweetness of
heart that finds enjoyment in
simple things Innocent pleasures
mean much to everyone. The
right use Of pleasure, not the
abuse OF it, will make the proper
balance in life. The search for
the startling, the sensational, the
extravagant and novel is the or
der Of the day Amusements have
lost spontaneity They are
planned too far ahead.
Another thing that is ruinous
to recreation is competition.

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

After the picture show on Friday
night Sheriff Galloway took his wife
and a part yof friends for little spin
on the Kendrick hard road in his car
II is one of the best roads leading
out from Ocala, and is just now In
excellent shape, and collision on
Il seems almost inexcusable.
Mr.. Galloway says that after going
some distance, he turned around, and
had not proceeded very far when ne
perceived car approaching him at
quite fun speed. and the driver was
showing no disposition to share fair
division of the road, so he gave at
least two-thirds or more of it. and be-
fore he could give more the approach
fng car creshed into him with tremen
deus force.
Mr.. Galloway says that If he had
not held the wheel with all the
strength he possessed his car would
have been more severely wrecked
and It's occupants might have been Sc
rlously injured. AS it was the car die

while not injured, were badly fright
ened.
The other car was quite badi!

almost complete repairs. Fortunate
~ the occupants were only slight!
injured.
II was a miraculous escape for boil
cars. according to the statement o
the sheriff. and had his car not COM

have been much worse.
Mr.. Galloway says that the roa'
was smooth. and the collision was al

Besides the numerous dwellings
that have undergone improvements
and repairs, and the several that
have been recently constructed and
are now being constructed, work will
soon begin on the Woman's Club
building. which Is to be located on
oklawaha avenue. not very far re-
moved from the public square.
This building will denote a step
outside the ordinary. 1t is an index
finger pointing to the widening OF the
possibilities for women. 1t is an indi-
cation pointing 70 the fact that they
are taking a more practical interest
IN our local, social and civic affairs.
Besides being an ornament for the
avenue on which it is located, it will
be Of great convenience to it's mem
bers. and will be a source of constant
enjoyment for them.
II will have an auditorium, which
viii be frequently used on occasions
In which the general public are inter
ested. Ample space is provided for
a public library and reading room,
and It will become a very popular
rendezvous for the women of our city
whose limitations have heretofore
been entirely too circumscribed and
restricted.
We say all hail to this building and
ali that It stands for. We believe that
in enlarging the horoscope for women
and having them participate more di-
rectIy in our civic affairs will mean
a very general and healthful uplift
for the community.
AS soon as the seventy thousand
dollar bond issue can be put in pre-
sentable shape and disposed of. work
on our two proposed school buildings
will begin.
The one in the second ward will oc-
cupy the center of a very beautiful
and elevated lot, and the building it.
self viii put Ocala in class with
the most progressive and up-to-date
towns in Florida along educational
lines. The building will be provided
with the most approved sanitary
equipments, and its architectural con-
struction will be most pleasing.
The school building in the north
end" while not so large nor impos-
ing. viii be quite pretty, and will be
built with an eye to future enlarge
ment. The people in that part of the
city are quite rejoiced in having a |
building not so far away from them
and are impatiently awaiting its con-
struction.
Those who take part in big affairs
and are in a position to know are pre-
dieting a wonderful activity along all
lines OF business this winter, and es-
pelially in real estate transactions.
Let us all be hopeful, and of good
cheer.

LET'S CONTINUE THE CONCERTS

What is the matter with our weekly
concerts? Now is the time we need
them-something to attract. Every
body that could get away went some
where during the summer. and just
as they get back, and home-seekers
and tourists turn this way, one of our
best features stays.
If it's money that's needed to con-
tinue these concerts, then our people
should respond at once. and raise the
necessary amount. All during our de-
lightful autumn and spring We should
have these splendid band concerts.
hope some good citizen will get busy
at once, and raise the necessary
funds to have these concerts to begin
again right away.

TIE BAPTISM

DR.. Frank Crane has written some
very pretty and interesting stories,
but none more rarely beautiful than
the following
Clarice had a baby. 1t was the
wonder of the island. From the old
fisherman down by the beach % the
Honorable Joneses and Walkers up
at the big hotel the ba5y was the sub
iect of intense discussion. For ev-
erybody liked Clarice and her hus-
band, WHO was a play-actor, and the
bsby was an. amazing compound OF
the exceliencies of both.
Clarice wanted the baby baptized.
No priest or minister could be found
on the island. "Just the same shall
have baby baptized" said she. I'll
have Berriman to do it," Berriman
was a poet, past sixty, and beautiful
failure. Physically he lived on the
crusts and edges of things; spiritual
" he ate of the heart of the world. So
one day they had the christening. And
Berriman, the poet, spoke, saying:
Beloved friends, we are here gath
cred, in the sight of God and in the
presence of these witnesses, to bap-
TIE this child.
Baptism is the application of wa
ter to the human body, solemnly and
formally, as a symbol Of the cleansing
of the soul. 1t is. most ancient rite,
and is found in all religions.
1T indicates the adoption of a can
didate into the membership of the
elect.
There has always been superior
few, an aristocracy in the world.
"There is the apparent or so-called
aristocracy, who as rule are not su-
perior at all: and there is the real ar
istocracy. who are a secret order
known to themselves only.
Eve are here to baptize this baby
into the real elect, the real upper-ten-
dom, the real church, or ecclesia, or
called-out.
1--WE, therefore, consecrate our
selves to teach this child the upper
thought in all things.
"To her flowers shall not be mere
plants, but Gods thoughts.
ITO her stars shall be more than
burning worlds; they shall be eyes of
mystery.
ITO her men shall not be brutes,
whose labor is to be exploited; they
shall be brothers, prophets, spirit
flames.
ITO her the sex feeling, when it
comes, shall be as lily, which,
though its roots grow in common soil
yet lifts its pure petals to perfume the
air, to make glad the garden, and to
greet the sun.
"To her, events shall not be as the
shaking of dice, the fortuity Of
chance; but they shall be meaningful
moves of the intelligence of destiny,
which guides men and things by its
own perfect plan.
1--WE consecrate this child to rever-
ence and against fiippancy; to JUS
tice. and against all lies; to loyalty,
and against deception; to love, and
against all kinds of hate; to patience,
and against petulance; to beauty, and
against uglipess; to greatness OF
mind, and of heart and of soul, and
the world and to the fellowship of the
entire human race, against all little
ness and narrowness; to the citizen
ship and against all clans, exclusive
sects, cliques and cults.
"And this little citizen of the world
and heiress of the future we commend
unto that God who has made no thing
common, and to that Master who low

THE INDEPENDENCE or FARM
LIFE

Some days ago as we were entering
the postoffice building we encounter
ed two geneltmen. Mr.. Jacob D. Rob
inson and Mr.. James Fennell, who
meeting each other on the stone
steps were shaking hands and pass
ing the compliments of the day.
1t seems that both gentlemen had
been fellow workmen together for
number of years in the Ocala lror
Works, one for as many as twelve
years, and the other for not quite SO
long time.
Both we're prudent and economical
and saved up enough surplus mones
to buy small farms, to erect buildings
on the same and make other improve
ments, which are essential, and re.
ouire the expenditure Of funds to a
lesser or larger degree.
To become farmer requires some
thing more than the purchase of the
land. A dwelling and out houses are
to be built, rails are to be split and
fences are to be put up and kept IN
repair; a horse and wagon, a COW and
more or less hogs, and a coop O.
chickens are among the essentials
Then a knowledge Of farming is also
requisite.
These gentlemen knew these re-
ouirements, and from year TO year
put aside a stipulated sum, and final
Nv resigned their positions at the
foundry in order to realize their am
billions.
On the day in question they were
discussing life in the foundry and
life on the farm with each other.
They said that while they did not
handle as much ready money since
going On the farm as when receiving
their weekly pay roll at the foundry
they did not have to pay it out with
such persistent sameness.
They did not have to pay any rent.
The grocery bills and milk bills, ana
numerous other little and big bills did
not trouble them with such insistent
They were not compelled to go to
work with cIock-Iike precision, ana
were not always under constant re-
straints from those higher up
They felt a degree of independence
They were their own boss. Though
their acres were not broad nor their
houses castles, they felt that they
were monarchs of all they surveyed,
which made them partake more Tree
" of the spirit which animates the
truths running through that document
known as the declaration of American
independence.
They were surrounding themselves
with horses, and cows, and hogs, and
fowls: they had fresh milk, and but
ter, and eggs; they had fresh fruits
and vegetables in season; they made
their own sugar and syrup, and had
plenty of corn, potatoes ana otner sta'
pie crops in their barns.
And they are all the while becom-
ing better farmers, because they are
striving to make themselves masters
of the science of farming.
Farming is science, much more
intricate and interesting than many
of the other sciences, and the more
one makes himself master of it the
more interesting and profitable it
will become.
In time intelligent farming will be-
come the rule and not the exception,
and when that time arrives Florida
farms will become as so many Edens.
