The Sandman Story
FOR TONIGHT

Once upon a time there lived a
King who had servant named
Muccio, OF whom he was very fond
so fond, in fact, that all the other
servants disliked Muccio very much
and wished to be rid of him.
At last one day, when the King
dressed Muccio in coat of red vel
vet and gave him sword to wear
at his side, the servants could stand
it no longer, their envy was SO
great.
So one of the servants went to an
old witch in the woods and asked
her to change Muccio into cat.
This the old witch did for bag
of gold, which all the servants had
to make up out of their small saw
ms, and one day, while the King
and Muccio were sitting in the gar
den of the palace, Muccio suddenly
disappeared and big black cat
took his place.
The King hunted and the serv-
ants pretended to hunt for MucciO
also, but nowhere could he be
found, of course, for he had been
changed into black cat.
When the King saw the big black
cat around the palace grounds he
called it to him, and when it rubbed
its head against him and followed
him about (for, of course, the black
cat was fond of the King, just the
same as Muccio had been). the
King ordered that it should have a
red velvet cushion to sleep upon
and a gold collar for its neck, and
should be fed on the richest cream.
The servants saw they had not
done much harm to Muccio after all,
and again. they went to the old
witch and asked her to change the
cat into a lion. For another bag of
gold the witch promised to do as
they wished, and so out of their
small store Of savings the servants
made up another bag of gold and
gave it to the witch.
Then one day, when the King
went to the place where the black
cat usually slept on its velvet cush-
ion, he was nearly frightened out
of his wits to find lion.
But, instead of being fierce, as he
looked, the lion crawled along to
the King for him to scratch his
head, just as he had done when he
was a black cat.
Then he licked the hand of the
King, who was so pleased that the
king of beasts should be SO tame
and fond of him, that he ordered
a gold cage to be made and a bed

Alaska and the Seal Island

The northwestern part of North
America belonged to the Russians
until 1867, when they sold it to the
United States. 1t then became a
part of our country under the name
of the territory of Alaska. Alaska
is a land of . high mountains of
mighty glaciers, and of inland seas
filled with icebergs.-Lucile Hall,

When you pay the extra one-cent

When you pay from five TO fifty cents

when you say your prayers at night,

mind that he has said: vengeance is

If a war-torn world ever has time

come to the conclusion that a few
ounces of prevention would have
been worth many tons of vengeance.

Once there was lawyer, who be.
ing told by the judge that the point
he was trying to make had no legal
status, said, eff it please your honor,
j have another just as good" Mr..
Hampton having thrown our ques-
ton for the voters out of court, we
will PROFOUND him another, which we
tender him space to dispose of as
eficaciously as he did the first. Sup
posing only supposing-he is wrong
about the gas company's franchise,
and Mr.. Hooker is right. Isn't the
franchise the gas company now
operates under, in consequence of the
higher price of everything, more fav-
orable than it might have reason to
hope for if it had to be renewed year
after next? And if it had some ground
to work on to carry its franchise on
to 1929. wouldn't it be considerable
help to it to have in power a council
disposed to be just to it-and then
some?

MR.. HAMPTON RETURNS
TO THE CHARGE

Editor Star: / have read with
much interest your attempted reply
to my communication, but regret to
note that you are yet not sufficiently
advised upon the subject to speak,
much less to try to inform the world
and / also note that you did not COM
prehend your question.
You did not ask the candidates if
they were in favor of litigation to
cancel the franchise of the gas COM
pany, but you stated as a positive
fact that the franchise ran out and
that the gas company would want a
better one, and you demanded of the
candidates that they express them
selves as to what kind of a charter
they would vote for. Therefore, your
question should have been upon an
entirely different proposition; and had
anyone been weak enough to answer
it, they would have put themselves in
the same category you are in-talk-
ing about something they know abso-
lutely nothing about. Therefore, in
fairness to the candidates, your ques-
ton should be framed differently, and
should hypothesise the facts upon
which you base your inquiry, for as
am absolutely sure, not one out of
a hundred people in the city even
heard of the city attorneys letter you
refer to, and / do not believe a single
candidate, outside of those now in Of
flee and who seek to be reelected,
ever heard of it. So, in fairness, Mr..
Editor, please ask what you want to
know and don't depend upon the
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1917-12-07

world to get meaning from your in
quiry that it in no sense could justify.
/ also note that the city attorney
has rendered an opinion that the
franchise expires June 9Th, 1919. Just
when this opinion was rendered I am
not advised, and in fact am not inter
ested, but / am inclined to believe it
was before the present city charter
became effective, as I am sure Mr..
Hooker is familiar with Section II of
the charter act. Section II in part,
reads as follows:
"That all ordinances, resolutions.
contracts, outstanding bonds, appro-
priations, and all other acts of the
city of Ocala, or the officers thereof,
heretofore done, passed, made or per-
formed, be, and the same are hereby
ratified, validated and confirmed"
Therefore, even to concede the cor
rectness of Mr.. Rockers opinion, to
the effect that the ordinance passed
in 1909, extending the franchise for a
term of ten years from June 5, 1919,
upon the condition of certain pay
ments to be made, was illegal, and
that the city council had no a1thor.
ity to grant such extension, this ord
nance extending such time has been
ratified by the legislature and it has
become a part of the organic law of
the city, and is just as binding upon
the city as any other provision III the
charter. In other words, if the city is
bound by the new charter, the extern
sion of the franchise is just as good
as the charter.
Again, you state that it is some
what uncertain as to whether the
council could renew the franchise,
conceding that it runs out in 1919. If
you were in doubt about this why
didn't you communicate with the city
attorney rather than leave the dear
people in doubt upon such subject.
He could probably have enlightened
you upon this subject, because if the
franchise runs out, any extension
would be equivalent to a new one,
and the hands of the council would be
tied.
Therefore, let me suggest that you
AIduAC yOuT Atd0AIy W IIS CdIluludISo
in such way that you will ask them
if they intend to institute proceedings
to cancel the supposed extension of
the franchise. You need not ask them
about voting upon new one, because
those elected at the next election
(even though elected for four years.
will not have the opportunity of vot-
ing upon it; because / am sure that
until the last court of the land, the
Supreme Court of the United States,
has spoken upon the subject, there
will be no opportunity to vote upon
it and it will be not less than five
years before that could take place
after the commencement of the init,
ial proceedings.
Now, therefore, Mr.. Editor, don't
yuo think it would be fair that you
make an honest confession and admit
that you jumped on something that
you did not know the first thing
about? FL. NJ. Hampton.
