The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-07-18

1t is the general imprsszion over
the entire district that. not only has
nothing been lost in the exchange
of congressman that was effected in
the recent primary. but that our new
Representative viii step easily and
naturally into position of influence
and prestige among his associates.
The Zolfo Truth voices this impress
sion in the following pertinent para
graph:
Let us predict that Hon. H. ].
Drane will soon stand among the
leaders OF the New South at Wash
ington. He is a man who will not
rest on laurels won years ago."

Having news in paper is a good
deal like having money in the bank.
To convince people as to either con-
dition. it is not necessary to be con-
tinually blowing about it.

II is amusing to see a little CO.
terie of partisan politicians, like GER
tain members of the Duval county
committee, presuming to speak for
the Democratic party in Florida.
The action Of the Supreme Court in
dicates that it does not hold the
same opinion as these gentry.

by cats. The horse can be taught j

Another Of life's paradoxes: When
you give series Of notes in payment
for something. it looks like one Of
'em falls due every two or three
lays, and yet it seems forever until
you reach the last one.

Horse sense
This phrase Is common, but like
many other common p.rases, Il is
shy on meaning.
So much depends on what horse.
There are some horses that are
Intelligent.
And others that have very little
more sense than people have
There are some steeds that. II

yourself.
We have had a more or less in

One time when we we're an agri-
culturist we associated on terms of
equality with a large, mongrel
bay mare with a head the size of
n -four barrel
We never saw so large a head
before with SO much vacant space.

we have ever encountered
Once we used her for a spark
plug
We left her colt at home. SO she
would return swiftly.
She did.

When she and We reached home.

in the haymow with the colt in his
lap.
The steed's child had got hungry
and lonesome and had climbed all
through the barn, nickering like
siren.
This was the only time we ever
saw our father reasoning with a
perfectly healthy colt at . A.N.
We had thought. when We went
to see that girl, that we were too
old to be spanked
As soon as the colt got al its

were younger than we had figured

has horse-sense. unless you know
what horse, you haven't beeu told
anything.
