BIG LITTLE MEN

One of the familiar quotations in
the school books will be recognized
in the following: How big was Alex
ander pa, that people called him
create" His biographers tell us that
his measurement in avoirdupois was
extremely small.
Compared with Goliath. David was
called a stripping"
Saint Chrysostom, winning the title
of the "golden-mouthed orator" of the
early Christian church, speaking of
St. Paul said: This little man, three
cubits high, was tall enough to touch
the heavens"
Caesar, the greatest general of an
cient times, a statesman of the high
est rank, and as a writer strong,
graceful and ornate, while tall was
exceedingly spare.
Napoleon, the greatest general of
all times, and likewise marvel in
the cabinet, and author of a civil code
scarcely excelled, was so small of
stature that he could not begin to
measure up to modern military re-
quirements.
General Beauregard, the hero of the
First Manassas, was an exceedingly
small man, and Alexander H. Ste
phens, vice president of the Confeder-
ate States of America, one of the pro-
foundest statesmen of his times
weighed less than one hundred
pounds.
Thomas NJ. Marshall, the present
vice president of the United States
would make a very poor figure in the
ring posing as a Heavyweight"
So it has been all through the ages
Flesh, and bone. and sinew, and size
do not seem to dominate the mole
cules composing the brain
How complicate; how wonderful
is man.

DOES CHARITY BEGIN AT HOME?

In Atlanta they are raising $4,000
to build what?
School houses in the poorer country
districts of Georgia?
Not BY any means
Churches in Fl the sparsely settled
communities of the southern noun
tains.
No, indeed
They are raising the $4,000 to build
one fine church in Cuba.
Is Cuba a heather land? Have the
Cubans never heard the gospel?
Practically every man, woman and
child in Cuba is nominal Christian.
Without a single exception, the Gu
bans have either heard the gospel. or
have had every opportunity to hear it

morning as mere seconds. Ere they
reached this shelter, however, they
were all thoroughly drenched from
the rain. AS for high spirits-well,
one would have to employ an excava-
tor to dig them up. Nothing was to
be heard except indistinct numb
lings, plenty of grumbling and very
audible, though distressing, signs for
hot coffee and warm beds in comfor-
table, though far away, homes. All
looked wholly detected, seemingly the
most hopeless and deserted group to
be found within the four points of the
compass each longing intensely for
home and loved ones.
1t was in this most lamentable and
commissioning condition that they
found themselves as they wended Their
wet and weary ways towards home,
after being out and up all night and
with little or no dinner, no supper
that night and no breakfast the fol-
lowing morning until 1870 o'clock,
when they reached home in separate,
forlorn groups, losing an overcoat
and we'll stocked camera, for which,
be it remembered, there is no reward,
lest one should discover under which
part of the heavenly canopy they re-
manned that night.

CLEAN UP WEEK IN ocALA

All of next week has been set aside
by the civic department of the Wo.
mans club as clean up week in
Ocala beginning tomorrow morning
The city council is cooperating with
the civic committee in this matter
and have given the use of the city
carts, etc, for the purpose of helping
in this excellent work.
We hope that every person in Ocala
both white and colored will cooperate
with the Womans club and that the
week will see every nook and crannie
in Ocala thoroughly cleaned. 1t is es-
pecially urged that everyone sees that
no water is left standing about their
premises in cans, buckets, etc, and
that all water barrels, cisterns, tanks,
ETC., will be oiled and screened. The
ponds are also to be oiled and every
thing possible done to rid the city of
all filth and every possible breeding
place for flies or mosquitoes.
On account of the early spring this
season it behoveth everybody to be
up and doing early if we are to wage
war on the deadly fly and mosquito.
So let's everybody work next week
for the cleanliness of our beautiful
little city.

NEW BILLS TO BE PRESENTED
TO THE LEGISLATURE

Among the many bills which will be
presented at the coming session OF
the legislature will be one in regard
to the marriage laws of the state
Marcus Fagg, superintendent of the
| Children's Home Society of Florida
explained a part Of the legislation to
a representative of the Metropolis
this morning.
In discussing the marriage bill Mr.
Fagg said: Under our present laws
there is but one prohibition against
marriage in this state. That provision
states that whites and negroes may
not wed. What we want is a law
which will prohibit the marriage of
diseased insane, idiotic and consump-
tive people. If this clause is enacted
less degeneracy will result. Many
states have such laws in force at the
present time. In fact the present bill
has been drawn after a careful study
of the laws of the other states"
Mr. Fagg also stated that an effort
would be made to have a bill passed
declaring wife desertion to be a felony
instead of a misdemeanor, as it is at
present. The reason given for asking
this change is that under the present
law the crime is not extraditable
Most of the governors of the states
consider a misdemeanor as of too lit
tie moment to grant eXtradition pa
pers upon request 1t is also prop0s-
ed to put such erring husbands at
work on the roads at fifty cents per
day after they have been convicted Of
desertion, their wages to be paid to
their families.
Another important matter will be
to ask the committee in charge of
state institutions to recommend the
appropriation of $4,000 for the State
Reform School. The school is in need
of many changes, think the leaders
in the Children's Home Society work
In fact more time will be devoted to
the securing of this appropriation
than to any legislation which is to
come up before the lawmakers.
The solons will also be asked to
make some changes in the juvenile
court bill. They will be asked to pro-
vide salary for the Judge and proba-
ton officers. 1t is possible that the
legislature will also be asked to pro-
vide a detention home for delinquent
in the city.
Mr.. Fagg stated this morning that
he would go to the capital when the
legislature met to work for the pass
age of the bills mentioned. He also
stated that several other workers who
were boosting for the new legislation
would probably go to Tallahassee for
the same urpose.-Jacksonvi Me-
tropolis.
All of the above measures were
heartily endorsed by the Woman's
Club of Ocala at their last meeting.

If stranger comes to your town,

Patronize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own, and de-

If you are a merchant, don't adver-

tisements, and howl like a sorehead

few dimes and make letter heads and

If you are a farmer, curse the place
where you trade as the meanest on

Lincoln Beachey, one of the most
daring of the professional aviators,
has announced that he will never sail
in meets or appear professionally
again. Beachey gave as his reason
that he believed his example was re-
sponsible for the deaths of Kearney,
Gill, Frisbie, Ely, Badger and Walsh.
81 have quit for good" said Beachey.
81 have made a fortune in a little
more than two years. I have defed
death at every opportunity in that
time. I have been a bad influence,
and the death of a number of youth
full aviators can be traced to their eff
forts to emulate my foolish exploits
in the air.

SOURCE OF SALVATION.

A letter sent to and received by the Progressive candidate for the gover- norship of New Jersey says that un- til the Republican party has actual ly purged itself and until it accepts in good faith every single plank of the Progressive platform, protests of good intention will be idle. Every single plank" was written by Colonel Roosevelt, who is also the author of the letter. With characteristic mod esty he refrains from saying that on- ly through him can purifcation come; that he is the only source of saliva tion. What could be simpler? A great party is not unutterably bad, and a redeemer offers his services. All it has to do is accept them and it be- comes possessed of every virtue and dispossessed of it's infirmities. It seems almost crime not to close with such an offer.-Denver Post.

IT'S GOSPEL TRUTH.

All kinds of property rise and fall together with the advance or reces- sion of the business of the place where they are located. If new habit of spending money at home could come about. it would increase the business of the retail stores, more clerks would be employed, and the proprietors and their employees would keep an increased amount of money in circulation.
 The practical result would be that every one who owns any property here would sooner or later get the benefit
 The real estate owner would find new corners bidding for his property. The retail store would see it's sales and profits grow larger. The profes sional man would have a larger con, stituency.
 To every property owner then, ev cry purchase made at home brings some secondary return. Some of the money he spent comes around to him again.
 In practice when property owner buys elsewhere he throws away a re- bate check that is his when he buys at home

ALASKA SPEAKERS
 SEATTLE BANQUET
Senator Roden Replies to Governor Lester and the Washington Con-
 gressionai Delegation.

SEATTLE, Nov. 1O.-TWo hundred and fifty persons attended the ban quet given by the Arctic Club as a belated celebration in honor of Alas state, was the principal speaker and he pledged the support of the state officers and of the state compression al delegation to aid Alaska. The gov ernor stated that he hoped in the near future that Alaska would become part of Washington.
 In reply Senator Roden, of lditarod, stated that he hoped Washington would become part of the state of Alaska, which would some day be carved out of the northland with a population of many millions.
 The territory needed help, said the senator, to become unbottled, the conservation policy of the past seven years having prevented development and the territory had lost popula- tion.
 Congressman Bryan, who attended the banquet, pledged his support to carry forward the policies advocated by the Alaskan speakers. Senator Jones in his speech said that the ef- fort to amend the Alaska railroad bill would result in jeopardizing the measure and he would oppose any such amendments, because they would certainly delay the passage of the measure.
