EVERYBODY CHEER UP
AND GO AHEAD

We have received information to
the effect that the board of health of
DesMoines, Ia, where they have had
hundreds of cases of influenza, and
many have died, has permitted the
schools, churches, theaters, etc, to
reopen, and business as usual is the
order of the day. Such has also been
the procedure in Atlanta and Jack,
sonville, and many other cities, and
Tampa will adopt it next week.
The medical men give good reasons
based on experience, for this policy
In the first place, the wave of infiu-
enza has passed. There will be spo-
radio cases all winter. The people
cant stay shut up and moping. II
they do they will be more susceptible
not only to disease but to panic, ano
panic is worse than disease.
So our health and school officers
have plenty of precedent for permit
normal course.
We might say that Ocala cast off
its fear of influenza Thursday night
All the young folks went out and hao
a good time, and not only they but
the town felt better.
Last night the theater reopened
and lots of folks who went to it felt
like they were going back home. To
morrow the people will flock into THEN
churches and Sunday schools. Next
day the schools will be open and the
streets will be lively in the morning
and afternoon with the children go
ing and coming from school.
1t is safe to say that had the people
felt like it. and kept everything open
there would not have been any more
sickness than there has been-per-
lhaps not as much.
But the people had symptoms Of
panic and had to take dose of being
scared. They shut everything up ane
have been comfortably frightened fol
three weeks. Having got it out Of
their systems, they feel better.
Their will be sporadic cases all win
ter, but the physicians say sporadic
cases are not infectious There viii
be some sickness, there may be some
deaths, but not as much and not sc
many as if we didn't come out in the
open and live our normal lives, so thai
we will not be reminded of disease al
every turn.

CHAPTER V.
A Cry From the Wilderness.

New York seemed almost like for eign city to Johnnie O'Reilly when he stepped out into it on the morning after his arrival. For one thing it was bleak and cold: the north wind, hail. ing direct from Baffin's bay, had teeth, and it bit so cruelty that he was glad when he found shelter in the building which housed the offices of the Carter Importing company. The truth Is O'Reilly was not only cold but fright ened
 It was not the effect of his report concerning the firms improbable Gu han connections which he feared Samuel Carter could tske calmly the most disturbing financial reverse-it was the blow to his pride at learning that anybody could prefer another girl to his daughter. Johnnie shook his shoulders and stamped his feet, but the chill in his bones refused to go. He went to meet his employer as n man marches to execution.
 His heart sank further at the well come he received. fov the importer gave him veritable embrace; he pat ted him on the back and inquired three times as to his health. O'Reilly was anything but cold now he was perspir- ing profusely. and he felt his collar growing limp. To shattar thiS old mans eager hopes would be like kicking a child in the face. Carter had never been so enthusiastic. so demonstra- tive; there was something almost the atrical in his greeting.
 Well, my boy, you Sade fizzle of it. didn't your" The t,iie was almost complimentary.

 The first American multimilli0natro to attain international fame on ac- count of his vast wealth was Stephen Girard. Of the financial dynasties of today only the Astors and vandcrbiIts were represented in Girard's tirOe. and the fortune of the distinguished Phila- delphian exceeded that of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt or the first John Jacob Astor. Glrard was worth $0O00.- 900 at the time of his death. Much of this money he left to the city of Phila- delphia for public purposes, and $2,OOO,O were applied to the building of, a college for orphans. This institu- tion has supported and educated tens, of thousands of orphans and fitted them for their battles with the world. Girard was free thinker.

CHAPTER lv-continued.

Seating himself on one of the old stone benches. the young man lit a cigarette and composed himself to wait. He sat there for a long time grumbling inwardiy, for the night was damp and he was sleepy but at last figure stole out of the gloom and joined him. The newcomer was rag. ged negro, dressed in the fashion of the poorer country people.
 "Well, Asensio. I thought you'd never come. I'll get fever from this P Esteban said Irritably.
 ''1t is long way, Don Esteban, and Hvangelina made me wait until dark. I tell you we have to be careful these days"
 What Is the news? What did you hear?"
 Asensio sighed gratefully as he seat ed himself. "One hears great deal, hut one never knows what to believe There Is fighting in Santa Clara. and MaceO sweeps westward"
 Taking the unaddressed letter from his pocket, Esteban said. "I have an other message for Colonel Lopez"
 That Lopez He's here today and there tomorrow; one can never find him.
 Well. you must find him, and inn mediately, Asensio. This letter con- gtains important news-so important, in Ffact'-Esteban laughed lightly-"that If you find yourself In danger from the Spaniards I'd advise you to chew it up and swallow 1t as quickly as you can.'
 @'Pll remember that" said the negro, ''fer there's danger enough. Still, fear these Spaniards less than the guerrilleros: they are everywhere. They call themselves patriots, but they are nothing more than robbers. They
 Asensio paused abruptly. He seized I,is companion by the arm and, lean- ing forward, stared across the level garden into the shadows opposite. Something was moving there, under the trees: the men could see that it was white and formless. and that 1t pursued an cratic course.
 What's that?" gasped the negro. He began to tremble violently and his breath became audible. Esteban was compelled to hold him down by main force. 'Tt's old Don Esteban, your fa- fher. They say he walks at midnight, carrying his head In his two hands,
 Young Varona managed to whisper, with some show of courage: Flush Wait! I don't believe in ghosts" Nev- ertheless, he was on the point of set ting Asensio an example of undignified dight when the mysterious object emerged from the shadows into the open moonlight; then he sighed with relief: "Ah-h! Now I see It Is my stepmother. She is asleep"
 For a moment or two they watched the progress of the white-robed figure then Esteban stirred and rose from his seat. She's too close to that we'll There is-" He started forward a pace or two. 'They say people who walk at night go mad if they're awak- ened too suddenly, and yet"
 When the somnambulist's deliberate progress toward the mouth of the vel continued he called her name softly Donna Isabel" Then he repeated ii Fouder. Donna Isabel! Wake up.'

"on the Stump"

Rosa turneo to her elderly suitor and made Il deep courtesy. "I am un- worthy of the honor," said she. "You see, I-I do not love you, Don Mario , 'Lovei" exploded the visitor. God bless youl What has love to do with the matter? Esteban will have to ride for his life in ten minutes and your property will be seized. So you had better make yourself ready to go with me-"
 But Rosa shook her head.
 'Eh? What ails you? What do you expect to do?'
 "I shall go with Esteban," said the girl.
 This calm announcements seemed to stupefy De Castano. He sat down heavily in the nearest chair. and with his wet handkerchief poised in one pudgy hand he stared fixedly at the speaker. His eyes were round and bulging. the sweat streamed unheeded from his temples. He resembled some queer bloated marine monster just emerged from the sea and momentarily dazzled by the light.
 You You're mad" he finally gasped. "Esteban. tell her what it means"
 But this Esteban could not do, for he himself had not the faintest nO- ton of what was in store for him. War seemed to him a glorious thing; he had been told that the hills were peopled with patriots. He was very young. his heart was ablaze with hatred for the Spaniards and for Rancho Cueto. He longed to risk his life for a free Cuba. Therefore he said: "Rosa shall do as she pleases. If we must be exiles we shall share each others hardships. It will not be for long,"
 Idiot !" stormed the fat man. Bet ter that you gave her to the sharks below San Severino. There is no law, no safety for women outside of the cities. The island is in anarchy. These patriots you talk about are the blacks, the mulattoes. the--lowest. laziest say ages in Cuba"
 Please Don Mario [" the girl pleaded. "I cannot marry you, for-I love another"
 "Eh?"
 "I love another. I'm betrothed to O'Reilly. the American-nnd he's com ing back to marry me-"
 De Castano twisted himself labori- ously out of his chair and waddled toward the door. He was purple with rage and modification. On the thresh- old he paused to wheeze: "Very well. then. Go! I'm done with both of you. l would have lent you a hand with this rascal Cueto. but now he will fall heir to your entire property. Well, 1t Is q time for bandits! IT." Unable to think of parting speech sufficiently bitter to match his disappointment, Don Mario plunged out into the sun- light muttering and stanmering to himself
 Within an hour the twins were on their way up the Yunuri. toward the home of Asensio and Evangelina; for it was thither that they naturally turned. It was well that they had made haste. for as they rode down into the valley, up the other side of the hill from Matanzas came squad of the Guardia Civil. and at it's head rode Panclo Cueto.

Starting With Bees.

The best place to, buy bees is near
home. There are hundreds Of colonies
in almost every county which are I'M
productive and which might better
change hands, bee specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture believe. If the prospective bee
keeper does not know where these are.
small advertisement In local paper
will often locate them. If colonies cam
not be found near by they can be
bought of dealers in bees who adver-
tise in the bee journals.
The best hive for all parts of the
country is the 10-frame Langstroth,
which is the American standard. II
possible buy bees already established
In these hives but If only other hives
are available the bees can later be
transferred to the desired hive.
An advantage in buying bees locally
is that the bees are usually delivered
by their former owner. If it is nee
essary for the beginner to go for the
bees the hive should be securely closed
with wire cloth just before dark when
the bees are all in the hive, plenty OF
ventilation being provided. Usually
the hive cover is removed and the top
of the hive covered with wire cloth.

DAIRY
FACTS
RECORD BY TGLLY ALCARTRA
Famous HoIstein Recently Came
Through With New High Mark of
4O.56 Pounds of Butter.

"You can't keep good man down."
and this aphorism is as true of COWS
as it is Of men. In proof of which is
the news that the famous purebred
Holstein, lilly Alcartra, is again at her
old tricks of rolling up records. She
recently dropped her sixth calf, heif-
er, and gave such promise of another
successful lactation period ahead of
her that her owners decided to put
her on test.
She came through with new mark
for seven days with 4O.56 pounds of
butter out of 1921 pounds of milk,
which shows the pace she is making in
the yearly test she Is on.
With this record she is the twenty
fifth "40-pound" Holstein COW.
lilly Alcartra has to her credit the
production of 30,451.4 pounds of milk
yielding 1,1S9.O3 pounds of butter in
