Mr.. Lizotte used to blow a conch
horn when he called his guests to
their meals and this suggested the
above lines which were written
some years since burt never published.
Mr.. Lizotte has lot of verses that
he has never published. As the
waves pound against the shore and
things are quiet on the island, Mr..
Lizotte writes verses and has done
some very clever things. But when
he writes prose he writes like he

insertion Of additional words to get
things all coupled up. A shrug or

WHEN WILL THEY SAIL2
memphis Commercial Appeal

(Memphis Commercial Appeal.)
No less parsonage than Senate
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, thu
Beau Brummel of the United State
Senate, adorned with splendid whis
kers, declares that the national stat
guard of Illinois, now part of thu
army of the United States, will en-
Joy their Christmas dinner in France
Three years ago the war lord:
we're specializing where they would
eat their Christmas dinner, and Kai'
ser William was confident that the
German troops would be Paris by
that time. The Kaiser is no nearer
Paris after three years Of war thar
he was in the beginning.
But, as Kipling would suggest
"that is another story"
To get back to the wise prediction
of Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
that the boys of Illinois will he in
France by Christmas, we would just
like to ask how does he know this?
How has Senator Lewis been given
the right to penetrate that impene-
trable curtain Of the future and see
events that even those closest in All
thority cannot see or explain?
One constantly hears stories to the
general effect that the National
Guard will be in France some time
this fall and by the time that the
snow flies the greater part, if not all,
of the regular army will also be on
foreign shores.
The Army and Navy Journal points
out the foolishness of such surmises
ana gives plenty of reasons why no
definite time for sailing can be haz-
arded, even by so-called experts. The
ly safe statement to make is sim
ply the official announcement that
the American troops will go forward
as speedily as safety will permit
Reasons why the Guardsmen will
not sail Immediately may be summed
up as follows, declares the Journal:
A certain amount Of preliminary
training is necessary at home.
A stupendous amount of construc-
ton work is necessary in France be-
fore they can be taken care of in
thar country.
The transportation of 100000
miles Of track, millions of crossties,
700 or more locomotives, and not
less than $4,000 cars must be attend
ed to before the main body of troops
arrives in France.
We need 100000 tons of shipping
to accommodate every division sent
abroad.
1t is more than likely, how ever,
according to the same publication,
that the more efficient members o.
the National Guard Organization
among which the New York State
troops are considered in the fore
will be held in their state mobiliza-
ton camps until their time comes to
embark for France. Plans involving
certain northern states have already
been approved. These organizations
will be the first to go. but the move.
nent en- masse may not be expected
for many months.

portunity appealed to his gigantic

So, the order was passed down the
line to make trouble. Mark you,
the list was printed like every list
that has been printed in the county
since it's existence, and like other tax
lists are printed in the State. But
IAN exception must be made in
this instance, to crafty the personal

So the Collector was advised to post

The matter now resting with the
court, this paper does not care TO

our position is shown by the fact
that we insist upon the submission OF
our claims to judicial tribunal. or

of the issue frequently is lost, and
the points raised in this controversy
are purely technical We are as
sured by eminent authority that we
ore in the right, from a legal stand
point; and having the higher author
ity of our own conscience that we
are right morally, the sings and
gibes of envy and malice do not dis
turb our serenity in the least. we
will survive this petty persecution
Just as we have the other puny and
efforts to hound and
harass us, and we will be right here,
stronger and more influential than
ever, to preach the business and po-
litical funeral of every one OF those
who have sought to tear down the
result of our years Of honest toll. In
some cases it is evident the funerai
will not be long delayed.

We. note a tendency to discuss
county affairs, to the exclusion of
things nearer home. Frinstance,
while having a spasm about the coun-
ty tax list, why forget about that
little charter advertisement, which
cost the taxpayers of Lakeland
$411.0O? At proportionate rates the
county tax list would have cost the
county about $4,000.

II people knew how little effort
their violent expressions of hate and
prejudice have on the public mind,
they wouldn't think it worth while to
indulge in them. You can't COM
municate hate-fortunately for the
good of humanity. Laughter, good
humor, optimism-these are contag-
ious, but hate is confined to the
heart that harbors it-and eats it out.
In other words, you can't get people
to hate some person just because
you hate him. And it would be a
sad old world If you could.

TOUGH

(By Morris Miller.)
He's racked with grief and sorru
He goes a saddened way,
No hope is in the morrow,
No Joy is in the day;
Upon his brow is anguish,
Within his eye a tear,
In grief and rue he'll languish,
Or so it would appear.
On evil days he's fallen,
He means to leave his folks
For all his walls and bawlin',
For all that he did coax;
But sorrow has beset him,
He goes a saddened way,
His mother wouldn't let him
Go barefooted today.
