CARLOAD OF CATALOGS
Biggest Shipment Ever Made to this
City for the Ocala Bazaar


Probably the largest shipment of
catalogs that has ever been made to
Florida has arrived in this city. The
shipment contains a solid carload of
$4,000 pounds, besides the weight of
the cases in which they are packed
and required a large sized freight
car to haul them. The shipment is
from the Jas. NJ. Smyth Merchandise
Company, of Chicago, consigned to
the postmaster of Oca1a, and contains
$4,000 of their huge catalogs, weigh
ing three pounds to the book. The
catalogs are already wrapped and ad-
dressed Individually and will be mail
ed by the Ocala post office to all
parts of the state. The work will
mean quite a lot of extra work for
the Ocala post Office but as the receipts
for the local Office in postage viii be
increased a thousand dollars, the post
master and his assistants are glad to
do it and make the increase showing
in receipts for the month in the Office.
Unlike the big shipment of catalogs
handled and mailed in this way by
Frank p. Gadson several months ago
for c. B. Rouss & Co., that were mail
ed only to merchants, the present
shipment will be mailed to individ-
ua1s.

Of the hedges trim, and the hard white

Where the noisy motors go!
But oh, for the sight of a woodland path
And the smell of the balsam fir,

Among the lines of shops,
Where all things are to buy and sell.

Where the winds of heaven blow,
And feel yonr spirit stretch its wings
Over the world below!

That push their eager way,

Yon must pay for your courage you can t
dare the stars.
And escape without anguish, and bruises

The cheat and the coward are trailing

The sneak turks behind you to stab in

Keep honor. for nothing that counts can

HOME
erous gift
by Edgar Guest.

1t takes heap O. Twin in house to make
it home,
A heap O. sun and shadder, and you some
times have to roam
Before you really preciate the thinge you we
left behind,
And hunger for 'em somehow, with 'em
always on your mind.
1t don't make any difference how rich you
get to be,
How much your chairs an tables cost, how
great your luxury;
1t isn't home though it may be the palace
of King.
Until somehow your soul is sort O wrapped
around everything.
Homes not a place that gold can buy or
get up in minute
Before it's home there's got to be heap O.
livin' in it.;
Within the walls there's got to be some
babies born, an then
Right there you've got to bring 'em up to
women good-and men.
And gradually, as time goes on, you find
you wouldn't part
With anything they ever used they We
grown into your heart;
The old high chairs, the plavthings, too,
the little shoes they wore,
You hoard: an if you could you'd kept
the thumb-marks on the door.
You We gotto weep 10 make it home, you We
got to sit and sigh
An watch beside a loved ones bed, an
know that Death is nigh;
And in the stiffness O the nigh. to see
Deaths angel come,
And closed the eyes O. her that smiled an.
leave her sweet voice dumb.
For there are scenes that grip the heart, and
When your tears are dried,
You find the home is dearer than it was
an sanctihed;
An tuggin' always at you are the pleasant
memories
OF her that was and is no more-yon can I
escape from these.
You've got to sing and dance for years,
you've got to romp and play,
An learn to love the things you have, by
usin' 'em each day;
And so the roses round the porch must
blossom year by year
Before they're part o you, suggestin'
some one dear
That used to love ,em long ago, and trained
'em just to run
The way they do, so they would get the
early mornin' sun,
You've got to love each sto ne and brick,
from cellar to dome
1t takes heap O. Twin in house to make
it home.

progress
The form of this intelligence is likely t

IN ARTILLERY duel" actually is:
"There are no words between the
covers of the dictionary which can con-
vey any adequate idea of what one of
these great artillery actions is like.
one has to see-and hear-it.
Buildings of brick and stone collapse
as though they were built of cards.
Whole towns are razed to the ground
as city of tents would be leveled by
cyclone. Trees are snapped off like
carrots. Gaping holes as large as cot
tage cellars suddenly appear in the
fields and in the stone-paved roads.
Geysers of smoke and earth shoot high
into the air. The fields are strewn with
the shocking remains of what had once
been men; bodies without heads or
arms or legs, legs and arms and heads
without bodies. Dead horses, broken
wagons, bent and shattered equipment
are everywhere.
The noise is beyond all description
yes, beyond all conception. 1t is like
closely clap of thunder which, instead
of lasting for fraction of a second,
lasts for hours. There is no diminution
to the hell of sound, not even a mo-
mentary cessation. The ground heaves
and shudders beneath your feet. You
find it difficult to breathe. Your head
throbs until you think it is about to
burst. You feel as though your ear
drums had been shattered. The very
atmosphere palpitates to the tremen-
dous detonations. The howl of the
shell-storm passing overhead gives you
the feeling that the skies are falling.
Compared with it the roar of the can
non at Gettysburg must have sounded
like the popping of fire-crackers.
Inconceivably awe-inspiring and ter
rifying as is a modern artillery action,
one eventually becomes accustomed to
it, but / have yet to meet the person
who could say with perfect truthfulness
that he was Indifferent to the fire of
the German siege-guns-in Antwerp
last October and in Dunkirk in early
May-and hope with all my heart
that shall never have the experience
again. FIX.
