Country Weekers.

Mayor Crump of Memphis in q re-
cent address on behalf of children's
country week associations said:
Astonishing is the ignorance OF
nature shown by these little pale,
lean slum dwellers. One child, whose
knowledge of trees and grass and
flowers was derived from the early
closing city parks, said as she gazed
with delight on a green rural scene:
What time does the country shut
up?
Another child watched a farmland
digging potatoes and said:
" rs this where you keep your pota-
toes, sir? 1 should think it would be
handler to keep them in bags In the
cellar
And I know of a third child to
whom a farmer offered superb, ripe
peach.
Let me pluck this peach for you
right off the tree he said
But the child, a little girl, turned
up her nose and answered loftily:
No, thank you. I never eat them
till they're canned Exchange

A GOOD SUGGESTION

What a grand thing it would be If
our county commissioners would APP
propriate a sum of money for a tall
flag pole to be erected on the court
house grounds in OcaIa and an addi-
tional sum for large flag to be dis
played from the pole every day. This
would have a tendency to rouse pa
triotism, not only among OcaIans, but
also among the out of town people
who visit Ocala. Further, how much
more attractive would Ocala be to the
stranger, the tourist and, in fact, its
residents, if every hotel office build
ing and other public place would dis
play each day our national flag.
Since the raising of the flag at the
school house, a noticeable change has
taken hold of our people and some OF
our merchants are now speaking OF
displaying a flag on top of their places
of business.
If the county cannot afford to ap-
propriate money for a ffagpole and 1ag
as suggested above, we would SUCCESS
that our friend Brother Benjamin OF
the Star, start a subscription list tt
raise sufficient money to present the
county with a pole and fag-Summer-
field Chronicle.
The Star thinks a flag over the
courthouse would be a fine thing; il
has recommended it a couple of time:
since the new courthouse was built
and is willing to recommend it or any
other good work again But the editor
civilly declines to pass the hat Hi:
friends say he is enough of nuts
ance now, and if he panhandled them
he would be uncomfortable.

WARY OLD BLACKSNAKE
GAVE NATURALIST A MERRY
TIME BEFORE ITS CAPTURE.
Every Device, From Flight to Open
Defiance Resorted To- Finally
Shaken From Tree Top Ii
Continues Resistance.

A naturalist in Virginia encountered
desirable specimen of blacksnake
which he wanted for his collection. AS
usual in such cases the snake saw him
first. 1t lay perfectly quiet, trusting to
escape observation.
Directly in front Of the naturalist
lay wide open space. The naturalist
knew that he could easily overtake
the blacksnake before it could reach
the bushes opposite. The bIacksnake.
too, seemed to be cognizant of this
fact, inasmuch as the man had not
taken half dozen steps in its direc-
ton before it changed its tactics and,
some ten feet away, turned and
charged its hunter.
The man spread his legs and stoop-
ed TO catch the snake. But the black
snake displayed such agility that be-
fore the hunter could determine just
where to grasp it the snake was ten
feet away.
1t was evident that the blacksnake
expected the man to fee, as no doubt
1t had seen other men flee under such
circumstances. The snake was some
seven feet in length and although
quite harmless looked formidable
enough to brighten the average man.
As its hunter did not fee the snake
turned about and again charged. This
time it swerved from its course when
1t saw that the man was standing his
ground. This deviation in the snakes
rush got'it into some bushes. Here it
coiled after the manner Of a rattle
snake.
1t elevated it's tail and vibrated 1t
with great rapfdity and, striking the
leaves and twigs, managed to produce
| buzzing sound not unlike the warn
Ing Of rattler. At the same time 1T
drew back its head as If ready to
strike.
The man continued to advance; SO
the snake once more changed its tao
tics. 1t began to doge in and out Of
the bush. The maneuvering continu-
ed for perhaps ten minutes. Then the
man, seeing good opportunity, rush
ed forward to secure his prize.
| The blacksnake mounted through
the bushes to their tops and went
IIOIu the tops TO the lower DTaucQOS
OF a small birch. It continued to
mount upward and made its way to
the swaying tip, some Is feet in the
air, performing the feat as quickly as
squirrel could have done it.
| From this elevated position the
blacksnake surveyed the man in tri-
umph. But its exultation was short
lived, for a vigorous shake of the tree
brought it down, and as it fell upon
the soft bed of leaves at the hunters
| feet the man threw himself upon the
serpent and succeeded in catching It..
Even then the blacksnake did not
lose its head, but by an unexpected
movement managed to fasten one Of
its teeth in a finger, inflicting deep
scratches.
The naturalist kept this snake for
nearly two months. 1t proved to be
the most intractable of blacksnakes.
| Whenever the naturalist took 1t In
his hands it would exhibit much In
genuity in its attempts to escape.

Record Price for Rembrandt.

A work of Rembrandt ("Woman
Plucking a Fowl'') recently sold in
Paris for sos, 00O. appears to hold the
record price for that artists work. The
same picture was sold in Amsterdam
in 1874 Git was probably painted about
1640) for $40. In 1916 in London it
brought about s1,625, and in 1884 was
sold in Paris, to the family which has
now resold it, for about $4,000. The
previous record price for a Rembrandt
was that paid for the Girl Holding a
Medal" in the Hoe collection, sold
here last year for s7O,OO0.-New York

ALACHUA WANTS 1T
TO TRAVEL AROUND

Judging by what the Star reproduces
from the Gainesville Sun today, an in
fiuential element in Alachua county
viii favor joining Marion and Sumter
in tri-county fair only on condition
that it will be held every other year
or one year in three. at Gainesville
The Star doesn't think this plan will
meet much favor in Marion county
We have our fair plant, which has been
in operation for several years, ii has
always made good and some times it
has been highly successful. 1t wouldn't
or one year in three. or two years in
three, or any year at all, to go to any
other county. Such a policy would
kin it as surely as abandonment alto
gether. Marion, as the central of
three counties, and with good fair
grounds and buildings, will be glad for
Alachua and Sumter TO join her in a
tri-county fair, which we believe would
be immensely more to the advantage
of our entire section than three sep
arate fairs, or a tri-county travelling
fair. but we think she doesn't care
about picking up and packing up and
going to another county at any time.
If Alachua doesn't want to join Mar
ion and Sumter in a tri-county fair,
it's the Stars opinion that they can
have a mighty fine fair of their own;
and we also believe that the enterpris-
ing county of Citrus, which is linked
so closely to us by other interests, will
be willing to take the place Alachua
is not willing to occupy. Citrus could
make fine showing at a tri-county
fair, and her people have always been
more friendly to those of Marion than
those of any other county except Sum-

Flooding the market with Hawaiian
Commercial at "a, loss OF a point
and a half. and some Hawaiian Sugar
at %, decline of half a point the
trading on the stock and bond ex-
change was the heaviest this morning
in many weeks
Trading between the board and dur
ing the session was heavy. 4 deal
was made by which $4,000 Pacific
Guano & Fertilizer Co. IS changed
hands between boards, the Guardian
Trust Company agents.
|. The sharp decline of Hawaiian
Commercial, which was the feature OF
the market today, is ascribed to the
fall of the stock in San Francisco,
where it has been quoted at "a. 25. The
fall of the stock began here yesterday
afternoon and continued up to the
close of the session 1t closed with
23.S7k offered for it; 24.12h asked.
Oahu Sugar was dealt in to the ex-
tent of $50 shares, but it stayed firm
at 1926. Hon. B. 4 NJ. went at
21.50 and HonGkaa ut !, no change
being notice IN the prices of either OF
the stocks. Eva sold between boards
at 49,. Hcnolusu Gas Co, Com, in a
sale of 100 shares, sold at 1880. Five
shares of o. r. & l.. changed hands
between sessions at 80.
The market this morning was by
far the most active in months II Is
true that strong gains wera not made
in any of the stocks, but the volume
of business was large In the case
of Hawaiian Commercial, where a
sharp fall is shown, 1t is not believed
it will remain at its present figure
long but will recover, both in Homo
lulu and San Francisco.
