The illustrated magazine section OF
the Tampa Tribune of Wednesday
was devoted to description of Citrus
county. The illustrations are all very
attractive, and those of her vegetable
productions are very fine. But what
are better than pictures are the
things themselves. and what Citrus
county ought to do is to join in with
Marion and Sumter counties, and
make a fine exhibit of her products at
our fair.

WOMAN THE END OF MANS DE
SIRES"


WAS she not a woman, and weren't
women the end of all mems desires,
weren't they?
The question is from Jack London's
story now running in Hearst's Maya
zine--the March number. Good!
like that! Are not women the end of
mems desires?
The love of man and woman is
not this love the sunshine falling for
ever from an eternal noon in an eter-
nal August in the human soul?
Is not this love of man and woman
the force that holds the spirit OF each
Of us to life as the force of gravity
holds the body of each of us to the
round green pebble on which we live?
Is not this Love of Man and Wo-
man that makes life a warm red flow
err, a burst of dance music, a foaming
roar of tumbling ocean along a coral
reef?
Is not this Love of Man and Woman
that shuts the doors and windows OF
life against the ice and snow and gale
of the thought of ones own death?
Beholding her in this intimacy OF
storm, the thought flashed through
my brain: "She is a woman. She is
desirable"
Vividly under my eyelids burned
the picture of her sleep-laden eyes,
her hair. and all the softness OF her,
"A woman and desirable" kept drum.
ming in my brain.
Are not women the end of all
man's. desires?
Around the citadel of The Love of
Man and Woman is a moat of silence
On the battlemantled walls of that
citadel stands a thousand archangels
each with a finger on the lips. The
other day was a boy and did not
understand. what are the end of all
mems desires?" / asked myself. But
could not answer. Along the battle
mantled walls of the citadel of Life.
I sent my soul some answer of that
question to find for me, and the
thousand archangels, each of them
held his finger against his solemn
lips.
Is il fair tina this man is king and
another man day-laborer? Is it just
and equal that one man is Napoleon
and another a common-soldier? Yes.
These things are nothing! Everyone
is king: everyone is Napoleon. What
man was so poor that he was not be-
loved by some woman The royalty
and ehieftanship of that, causes all
other royalty and chieftanship to dis
appear as the faraway stars disap-
pear when our sun has risen in the
East.
The universe is a wilderness, that
we change by the Love of Man and
Woman, into Eden.-C. H. B. Floyd.

Sure. that's tangoitis. that is in

female Of the species. is that the loca.
ton OF On edisease In man is In the
right leg.
This distinction Is due 20 the fact
that the dip" which Is one Of the
delightful features Of the tango as
a form Of amusement, Is performed
mostly by the right leg Of the man,
