Mothers Man.

When the thunder rumbles in the sky
And the lightning flashes way up high
My papa likes to go and sit
Out on the porch and look at it,
But mother says she'd rather stay
Right in the house-she feels that way.
And papa hollers: "Cone out. Clair.
My, what flash. That hit somewherei'
OF course I'd like to go and see
The lightning never frightens me
But mother likes to have me near.
1t kinda makes her scared to hear
Those awful claps, and so l stand
Right close to her and hold her hand.
For I'm her only son, you know.
And she'd feel bad to have me go
Out on the porch and leave her all
Alone and frightened in the hail.
So when the thunderstorms begin
And papa hikes nt,t we STAY tn.
My mothers awful glad she's got
A hoy thur loves L or -E2la :. lot.

The First Riddle.

The very first riddle on record is
that propounded by Samson to the
thirty companions who came to the
marriage feast of his wife-afterward
burned to death with her father by
the Philistines- for the answer to
which he promised to give them thirty
sheets and thirty changes of garments.
"Out of the eater came forth meat.
and out of the strong came forth
sweetness" For the outcome see the
book of Judges xiv. 1920.

OSHKOSH - Judge Burnen Of the

junction order restraining hte city of
Oshkosh from taking possession OF
the Oshkosh water works. The order
is returnable at 10 o'clock Saturday
a. N. w G. Maxey, owner, furnish
ed bonds in the sum of $4,000, which
were approved by Judge Burnell, to
secure the defendants against dam
ages which might accrue to them by
reason of thsi restraining order, and
until the hearing to show cause.
Mr.. Maxey, it is stated, had this
reason for the order, that the city,
upon the advice of John Roemer, a
member of the state railway COM
mission, had notified him of the city
taking possession, but the payment of
the $4,000 had not been considered
a condition precedent to taking over
the property. Mr.. Maxey insisted that
the fixed price be paid or the COM
pany should be given satisfactory as
surance that it would be paid within
the six months as the commission had
ruled, before the property should be
subjected to possible mismanagement
and danger of loss.

We are glad to present to our read
ers this morning Mr.. ]. Hudson Cur
rvs thrilling description of the vic
tory of the American forces over the
Moros. Mr.. Curry is an Ocala boy,
and he writes a most interesting and
entertaining story. The details of
the assault are graphically given. One
of our exchanges goes so far as to say
that the annals of war will be search
ed in vain for more heroic lighting
that Leonidas and his brave three
hundred could do no better than
Amils Joloanos in fighting till the
last man fell.
We feel sure that our readers will
find that Mr.. Curry's article is well
worth the time devoted to its perusal.

Symmetrical wants good roads, as
was instanced yesterday by dele
cation of twenty-five presenting a pc.
tition to the board of county commits
sioners, asking that body to fix'a date
for the citizens living in that section
to gather for the purpose of assist
ing the county officials in complet-
ing the broken link between Marion
and Lake counties, which has been
delayed first for one purpose and
then for another for so long time.
The cry for good roads" is coming
from all sections of the county, and
as revolutions rarely if ever turn
backward the presumption is that We
shall continue to get better and bet
ter roads from time to time.
We know that the county commits
sioners are doing the very best they
can with the funds in hand, and in

MAKING BEAUTY SPOTS OF UGLY
PLACES

1t was Keats, we believe, who said
that thing of beauty is a joy for
ever" So it is. Nature has been Law
ish with her things of beauty. Her
rainbows, her sunsets, her flowers. No
painter with his brush can 'surpass in
beauty The colorings of nature. Those
colorings are not only beautifully por-
crayed in the flowers and in the gor-
geous color.ngs of the skies, but are
also visible in the colorings in the
shells of tie oceans, the fishes of the
sea, and the birds of p!umase. We
see beauty everywhere. Nature has
set us an examr.e, and we should be
satisfied with w the beautifr,
We saw a woman the other day
whom we thought exquisitely beau
tiful, yet she was not content to ap-
but her cheeks were heightened with
artificial color, and she had placed a
little beauty spot on her chin, all of
which added to her attractiveness.
So it is our duty not only to make
the beautiful more beautiful but we
should endeaYor to fashion and en-
bellish the less Lovely into forms of
beauty.
We are glad that this Is the spirit
now ~ 20 in Ooa1a
There is talk of offering prizes for
the best kept lawns and the most
beautifully grown flowers.
Places are being selected for parks
ard The best methods of improving
them are being discussed.
We have an example in the looks Of
our public square. Before the build
ing of the new court house the court
house grounds were regarded as an
eye-sore. Now they are pronounced
more beautiful than any other public
soVare in Florida.
! Indeed, Mr. Morrow, who is famous
as a globe trotter," says that Ocala
court house and grounds are unex
cclled the world over.
Some of our public spirited ladies'
we understand. have undertaken to
convert the grounds in the rear of the
Ocala House into 2 beauty spot
These grounds now front the kitch
en- of the Ocala House on one side
ard the garage of the Ocala Gas En-
zine Works on the other-two un
is.ghtly places.
In overcoming difficulties of this
kind and succeeding is the more cred
table. And the ladies are going to
succeed.
Mr.. c. L. Anderson has contributed
the lumber, and Mr.. B. H. Seymour
has already becun the erection of the
woodwork, which will eventually be-
come an arbor made beautiful with
clustering vines and flowers and
palms. The arbor is proposed to lead
into ornamental grounds where seats
will be arranged for the tourist and
visitor, and those of our people of
leisure can find a place of restfulness.
From the library they can procure
books, newspapers and magazines,
and in the park comfortable chairs,
and they can either read. or feast
their eyes on the lovely things they
see around them.
Those who have already contribut-
ed to the fund to convert these
grounds into an attractive park are
the following: Mr.. J. M. McCorkle,
Mr. L. w. Harlee, Mr. Chas. X. Sage,
Mr.. Harry Peter. Mr.. J. H. Spencer,
Mr.. c. L. Anderson, Mr.. B. H. Sey-
mour, DR.. Eugene Peek. Others will
also be solicited to help in the good
work
