Rriqands at a Ball.

There was d most startling scene ut d ball given not long ago at the residence of Baron Remondini, at San Vito, Italy. Dancing had just commenced when half dozen arm ed men marched into the ballroom. They posed as detectives come to arrest famous brigand, Alberto Sunni, who. they asserted. was among the guests. The wanted man, in the guisc of noble, was speedily located and surrounded. But just as they were pretending to hand cuff him the self styled detectives suddenly drew their revolvers and leveled them at the astonishcd dancers. In double quick time the latter handed over their jewelry and other valuables, the booty thus secured being worth upward of $3,OoO. They were, of course, brig ands of the band whose chief they had come to arrest.

Rock Candy.

"Originally what is now known as rock candy,' explained con- fcctioner to reporter, ''was called
 in the trade Gibraltar rock. Origi- nally, also, it was the purest kind
 of candy, for it was crystallized su- gar pure and simple. Ordinarily it is purer now than many other can- dies. Hawthorne in 'rhe House of the Seven Gables,' describing q small store, says, For instance, there was glass pickle jar filled with fragments of Gibraltar rock not, indeed, splinters of the veri- table fortress, but bits of delectable candy. Other writers of even earlier date than that speak of Gibraltar rock. It appears, how ever, that the Gibraltar was finally dropped, and it became known as rock candy. 1 have price list is- sued in lS4S to the candy trade in which Gibraltar rock is the name given, though after that it is quoted as rock candy"

To Aim Straight ls Human.

Anthropologists have remarked that taking aim is d human charac- teristic that even the anthropoid apes cannot be said to share. Apes and monkeys frequently throw nuts and sticks, sometimes with pleas ant consequences to others, but they show little or no ability to take accurate aim. The baboon is said to excel somewhat in this respect, but still it would never pass for marks man. Accuracy of eye and the judgment of direction and distance that are involved in real aiming have been developed only by man and are among the tokens of his in- tellectual superiority. - St. Louis Republic.

If You Don't Like Work Go to the 10. q Iands Around Madagascar.
 If you are just awfully tired of working for your living and have about decided that life is altogether too strenuous for comfort in your bustling burgh then go to the is- lands around, Madagascar! For there you would only have to work about twenty-five days a year and could support yourself and family in all possible comfort.
 People do not need to work so hard if they are only willing to try something new, says an English historian. There are other places where the necessities of life can be had for practically nothing, and many of the luxuries, too, for little effort. Now there are the islands around Madagascar. They number some 16,o00 and only 600 of them are inhabited. Nature is wonder fully lavish. A man can own q whole island himself or live on one that is already peopled. Land is abundant, and like the air and wa ter, it has no price.
 And the best things to eat are yours-all kinds of the finest fruits bananas, melons, oranges, figs, pineapples and bcrries-and you don't have to go without such deli cacics as figs and citron. There is plenty of tobacco to be had and all the coffee that you could possibly drink. Then there is domestic poultry in great numbers. Fat tail. ed sheep and goats that you could cook up into all sorts of luscious dishes.
 You wouldn't have to be afraid of your life all the time for fear that you were going to be run over the next moment, either, for there isn't single automobile in any ot the islands. Exchange.

 TO THE INTERIOR
Fifty Breaks Between .Wortman's and TeikheII, Because of the Heavy
 .,. SnowfaIIln, 2. s..''.

The telegraph line between Wort mans and Teikhell is down in fifty different places, according to word received today by Lieut.. Dougherty, from Corporal Simmons. The line men and operators from Wortman's and Beaver Dam met yesterday at the Drop and they reported forty breaks between the summit of Thompson Pass and Ptarmigan Drop. Corporal Simmons and his partner were twen- weight hours making from the Re- lief cabin, near the summit, to the Drop because of the heavy fall of new soft snow. The two operators were as long in reaching the Drop but were not forced to remain out all night as was Simmons and his fellow worker.
 The work of repairing the line will commence immediately and it is hop ed to have communication establish ed with Fairbanks in another day. An effort will be made by the Navy Wireless stations to fill in the bro- ken gap by sending the messages from Valdez to Cape Whiteshed Wirless station thence to St. Paul station, thence to Nome, down the Yukon to Nulato station where the government line will again be used to Fairbanks.
 Lieut.. Dougherty will make every effort to have the line repaired i The goods must go at sacrifice at Adler's.

SAMUEL J. BILLIARD

Surmerfeld, Fla, Sept. 80, 1913.
70 the Editor Ocala Banner:
Our little town vas very much
shocked last Sunday morning when
the announcement OF the death of Mr.
Samuel J. billiard came to us from
Ocala, at which place he had been in
he hospital
While Mr.. billiard had been suf-
ferer for the past FIVE years, this last
spring seemed to bring to him new
hope of recovery, and for a few
months prior to his last illness he
seemed TO be in better health and
spirits than for some time. Howev-
er, about six weeks ago Mr. billiard
health began to fail again, and until
the end grew continually worse, his
expiration having come at $50
o'clock Sunday morning, September
2S, at the Marion county hospital.
Besides leaving widowed mother,
wife, two brothers anad two sisters,
Mr. billiard also leaves a host of
friends not only in his home town,
but all over the county and state to
mourn his untimely death.
The deceased was in his 45th year.
the eldest son of the late Lemuel G.
and Mrs. Louise G.. billiard, who were
among the very earliest settlers of
this community. Mr.. billiard had liv-
ed in Summerfield his entire life,
and had done much in his time to-
wards the development and prosper
ity of his town. He was prosperous
farmer, man who did things. He
was generous to fault, kind hearted,
and ever true to his friends, nor was
anyone who ever went to Sam billiard
for help ever turned away empty
handed.
He was married to Miss Laura
Smith just eighteen months before
his death.
Those of his immediate family
surviving him, and who were with
him when the end came were, beside
his wife, his mother, Mrs. Louise Dill
lard, his brothers, Mr.. T. w. billiard
of this place and Mr.. Frank billiard
of Martel, his sisters, Mrs. Annie May
McWhite and Miss Pearl billiard, both
of Summerfield.
The entire community mourns its
loss. and extends to the bereaved
family coincidence and sympathy.
The deceased was laid to rest in
the Lucius cemetery, near Belleview,
the old family burial ground. Peace
to his ashes.

BURGLARS AT WORK

The good people of Ocala are warn
ed not to sleep too soundly, and to
have their weapons of defense with
in easy reach, for burglars are out
for whatever of spoils they can get
their hands on.
On Tuesday night they entered the
home of Mr.. B. A. Brannon, foreman
of the Ocala Banner job rooms, who
is suspected of having a miscellan-
eous wardrobe of good clothes, and
a well supplied larder
The thieves also entered the same
night the homes of Mr.. w d. Richey
and Mr.. Killebrew, also thought to be
good livers and the possessors of
good wearing apparel
We have not heard how successful
these midnight visitors were, but we
advise our good citizens to be on
guard, and the officers of the NUM-
cipality to be more than ordinarily
vigilant.
When man deliberately makes up
his mind to live on the earnings of
his more industrious neighbor he de.
serves no sympathy, and every effort
should be made for his apprehension
and if apprehended no sympathy
should be shown him. He should be
punished to the full extent of his of.
