oh Boy,
 This is the day I been looking for ward to for a long time, believe me. and I sure am glad it's come. School closes today for the holidays. and there ain't nothin' left now but wait in for santa Clause and hopin' it snows lots sos I can use that sled he's goin' to bring me. I had a good feel in when l woke up this morning and l didn't waste no time in catin' my breakfast. spite of the fact that mama kep' sayin' for me not to hurry an take my time. I didn't have to bring no books to school with me, cause on account of this ben' the last day an all, there wasn't gon' to be any les sons.
 Well, I got there cnrlN and so did the other fellows, and whatdy guess there was waitin' there? Up by teach CTS desk was a Christmas tree, all decorated up with little 'lectric lights and things, and there was a bag of candy or nuts or somethin' for each one Of us scholars.
 Teacher Fooled Him.
 l tried to snitch one of them when teacher wasn't loolein' but she Just smiled and said Wait n minute, you bad boy and stead of ba1lin' me out Snc sald TOT me 1Q take my seat and wait for the rest of the children. sat down by Henry smith and We waited an pretty soon all the others come In and We was ready to start the program. Teacher gave us a talk about what Christmas meant but it wasn't much use in her tellin' uS Be- lovc me! I know what Christmas means all right and it don't take no speech to press that on my mind.
 We'll we sung a Christmas carol, but it was like any other song, only it mentioned the fact that this was Christmas in it. Then each of us had to say a piece. I was nervous like and most forgot n1ine but it had to be done just like washin' my face in the mornin' and teacher prompted me , when 1 forgot, and I got through with it fin'lly and sat down. Little 'Lisbeth Green forgot her piece and she cried. Jus like girl, too, ain't it? Cryin' when you forget somethin'. Just like | said to Jimmy though it don't do no good to cry, cause nobody minds whether you forgit 1t or not We'll. we all got finished with our pieces, and what do you reckon happened then" Santa Clause walked right in. and said Hello children, I had to hurry to get here because I've got to get right back to my workshop at the North POle'

lie it is a crime to obtain goods on
false pretenses, the managers OF a
number of moving picture companies
are due for terms in jail. They send
out a picture and keep it on the road
until it is torn to pieces, making no
effort to call it it until, perhaps. some
proprietor sends it back at his own
loss. Such picture was that shown
at the Temple theater in this city last
night under the name of ''The Rider
Of the Purple Sage" It was very
fine picture when it was new. but that
was some time ago. 1t was broken IN
dozen places, and many of the in
scriptions were cut off so short that
they couldn't be read. And half the
last scene was cut off in the most IN
teresting part of the story. Oh
course, the proprietor can't help him
self, for he doesn't know, any more
than his patrons. what a picture is
until he sees it, but If the picture

of the state, would get together and
refuse these films they would soon
quit coming. In the last few months
about half dozen tattered pictures
have come thru here, and the one last
night was the second to have half the
last reel missing. The men respon-
sible for keeping these rags on the
road are plain thieves, and it is time
the movie theaters, TO protect their
patrons, took some measures againsi
them.

To look ones best and feel ones best

one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-

that Just as soap and hot water

When Sunnyjim backs up from the
union station at night, the trainmen
should stop to drop the fagman short
of the crossing instead of about
twenty feet further on, An auto with
two or three people in it had a very
narrow escape at the Star Office cor
ner last night. The car, which had
been standing in front of the theater,
started down the street. and just as
it was clearing the corner the rear
platform of the train came in sight.
A quick twist of the steering wheel
ard the car went by with few feet
to spare, but if it had been two Sec
onds later, or If there had been an
other auto on the crossing coming
from the opposite direction, there
would have been a smash, probably
with fatal results. The rear of the
train was at the corner when the
fagman jumped off, and the train had
moved another ten feet before il
halted. 1t was a very careless piece
of business and lacked but little OF
causing a serious accident.

DEFINING A DEMOCRAT


There is much to think about in
the following article from the Gaines
vile Sun:
What il q Democrat I'm Florida?
We asked this question when we
first began to try to be an editor.
There were all sorts of answers given.
All sorts of things said about it in the
press. Some held the standard high.
Some practically said it did not mat.
ter.
Some days ago the Ocala Star said:
"In the last few months we have heard
good many men who have beeil
staunch democrats all their lives say
they would not vote in the next pri-
mary. What is the use?' they say.
Thousands of men who voted in it IN
1915 broke their primary obliga-

the extent of helping to choose It's
standard bearers, and then, deliber-
ately, vote in the main election
against those same nominees, is un.
worthy of the name of gentleman and
ought not to be recognized as such.
| The main thing. however, that
stands in the way of any adhesion, OF
want of cooperation with the demo
1crats of Florida, is the want of code
of principles. A party platform, j.
