Madrid Is Not So Ancient.

Madrid is net a city of great an tiquity. Many efforts, it is true, have been made to trace it's history back into classical times and even beyond, but the first authentic mention of the town occurs ill the Arab chronicles. and this does not carry one back far ther than the first half of the tenth century. The place was. of course, occupied by tie Moors when they were the dominant power of Spain, but was finally taken from them by Alfonso VI. in 1883. Henry ". used it as a hunting seat, but it did not attain any importance until the reign of Charles ", who made it a place of residence and was wont to visit it occasionally. It was in the reign of Philip IT, that at last it attained to the dignity of a capital city. He created it his capital and unica corte, or only court, in 1560. and it has remained the capital of Spain ever hce in spite of occasional efforts on tl 3 part of sundry kings to transfer the government to Valladolid and Seville.-National Geographic So- ciety Bulletin.

Easy Jail Methods.

The greatest leniency is shown to criminals in New Zealand. Thus in one jail at the end of the South is- land prisoner may keep a race horse and is permitted to transact business concerning 1t. In the same jail well behaved prisoners are allowed an after noon out occasionally.
 Prison authorities in New Zealand are believers in the moral effects of open air. In one of their institutions the newly arrived misdemeanant is al- lowed the choice of living in jail or outside it, tents being erected at the back. This system of sending people to jail by letting them live outside has, however, it's disadvantages. In one cese the prisoners" resenting harsh treatment in the way of lockout" |" lifted up the 'jaiP' and deposited 1t far away in the bush.

kiIted Troops,

The Greek kilted troops, the Evzones, bear a variant of a name which was given to troops in the days of ancient Greece. ETzonoi, meaning well girdled and so girl up for exercise as kilted men are, were light troops or even the heavily armed hoplitai, but without their weighty shields. At first, how ever, the term, as in Homer, was used only regarding women, the zone" be- ing the lower girdle worn by them about the waist, but by an easy and natural transition this came to mean a mans belt. Then, as the belt sup ported the short skirts, kilted men were called well belted.

Use of Gas,

It is now a hundred years since gas was first u led for illumination in this country, and this is supposed to be ''the age of electricity" yet the amount of gas consumed is still increasing. There has indeed been falling off in the amount used for lighting, but a great gain in the amount used for fuel.

Our friend Bloom of the Lakeland
Star has gone on another rampage.
The other day, we recommended that
Gov. Cats appoint for Polk county a
board of commissioners after his own
heart with, of course, Bloom for
chairman. We did this specially to
please Bloom, but instead that OBJ
streperous individual gets on his ear,
Gals us an "autocrat" (get that, won't
you), refers darkly to st. Leo College,
advises us to tell more truth about
Marion county as well as Polk, init
mates we are crook and is sassy
generally. We pass over his calling
US an autocrat, for we don't believe
he really knows what the word means.
We wish Bloom would unveil this
dark mystery between the Star and
st. Leo College. We can't imagine
what it is. Expose US, Bloom, and
let's get the agony over. Tell all you
know about it, and then some. We
haven't said a word about ST. Leo
lately, but this reminds US to say that
it opens for its fall term tomorrow;
that it is a good little college, and
teaches its students to be gentlemen
and patriots as we'll as scholars. We
wrote nice, long, entirely unpaid for
puff about the University of Florida
a few days ago, but Bloom never
noticed it. lie Bloom will show US
where we have printed anything UNI
truthful about Marion county, we will
gladly correct it. We don't know how
to print the truth about Polk county.
Either it is a county that an honest
man ought to keep out of, or Bloom
is a liar, and we hate to think, let
alone say, either. Perhaps we are a
crook-we often think we are-but
nobody who knows US seems to think
so, and so perhaps it has taken
Bloom, at distance, looking at things
through a periscope that would fit
nicely around corkscrew, to find it
out. Come up some Saturday, Bloom,
and stay over till Monday. We will
feed you, keep the dew off of you,
show you Silver Springs and introduce
you to our county officers. Perhaps
you will be able to spot the crooked
ones among them. Well be hanged
if we can, though we see them every
day. When you go back home you'll
feel better. Au revoir, Bloom. Be
sure and print the ST. Leo mystery.
If it is interesting, we will reprint it,
and if we advertise it day ahead
may betwe can sell an extra edition.

FROM MIR. BURGMAN

Editor Star: This is to acknowledge
receipt of copy of the Ocala Evening
Star under date of Saturday, Septem
Der 18th, containing part of my state
ment relative to the suspension from
office of the Volusia board of county
commissioners, also your editorial
comment on same for which accept
my thinks. | fully agree with you
that there is no safety for the rights
of citizens in a state where such
things are allowed to pass without
rebuke... As chairman of the suspend
ed board of county commissioners OF
Volusia county | can state without
this state was there elected a board
of county commissioners which APP
piled itself more diligently, more hon.
estly and faithfully to the proper ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
county There are times when red
tape needs to be cut to reach speedy
results in the protection of the pub
lie, the life and limb of those pass
ing over our public highways. This
the suspended board had to do on two
occasions, and any state executive
with only a grain of fair-minded JUS
tice in his mental makeup would
have commended such action if fully
inquired into. | am sorry that cur
rent events have forced upon me the
conclusion that the present governor
of Florida is not possessed of such
character qualities. As things are
now any coterie of disgruntled par
tisans can go to the state capital and
make complaints, without any justi-
feation in fact land the governor of
the state of Florida accepts such COM
plants as bona fide

pie for their indifference, the w. C.
T. u. responded at once, and it has
been responding ever since. Every
body in Ocala appreciates and honors
the gallant boys now, and all are
vieing with each other in trying to
see who can do the most, but the w.
C. T. u. set the pace.

Strange how these boys, whom
little while ago we looked upon as
kids, so suddenly assumed the dignity
OF manhood when they put on the uni
form. One day we passed them on
the street, scarcely noting them; the
next we felt like taking off our hats
to them. And now they have gone to
do mems work, and we know they will
do it faithfully and well, and that
they will be true to those who have
faith and trust in them.-Lakeland
Telegram
That applies to our boys, too.

By declaring war on Germany,
China escapes paying the German
share of the Boxer indemnity, beside
other debts, amounting to quarter
of a billion. The Boxer indemnity
was an injustice-as it will be re-
membered, the United States refused
to accept its share of it. But in re-
gard to German money used for i'm
provements, China, like all other ma
lions, will find that reputation never
pays in the long run.

We have all laughed at the story
of the judge, who when he had heard

closed it up and gave Judgment, be-

cause it seemed so improbable. And
yet it is practically what Gov. Cats
did in regard to the commissioners
of Volusia county.
