The fame of Mrs. Arms boarding
house in this city has penetrated to
distant lands. as may be seen by the
following, culled from Thorn's Night
Thoughts in the Palmbeachpost:
In Ocala Mrs. Arms is about to re-
open her charming home-like board
iIghouse.
Oh, for a home free from alarmsl
Where barred are frets from ills and
harms;
A hundred hopes-a thousand charms
Group bout the home of Mrs. Arms!
They were women talking. and of
another woman. 1t was a man who
answered them. He said, "That wom-
an you are discussing ifs forty-five
years of age. She has reared two
children and has one grandchild. For
ten years she has earned her own liv-
ing, yet look at her; she has the walk
of 17-year-old girl. No one takes
her for day over thirty. What's her
secret?" and the man added, "Love
and the sense of humor."
| There's only one thing a fellow can
! do in this world without knowing
how, and that is how to be miserable.
Have you noticed how many women
have given up kissing their husbands,
when they come home at night, since
the country went dry? (Only chance
the poor things had to get even a
smen.-Editor).
A New York man urges through
the press that bathing be made COM
Lulsory, as "precaution against flu
and other diseases" If that should be-
come national law, what in the
world would happen to two or three
of Ocala's most prominent citizens?
West of our city there is a commu-
nifty in which dwell several hundred
persons, most all of whom bear one of
two prominent names. Our opinion Is
that if Blitchton ever commences to
degenerate it will be simply because
the Bitches and Fants start feud.

A flush in the hand is worth two
in the cheek. says a card-playing
friend of ours.
Someone with a working conscience
has just returned a pie knife bor-
lowed years and years ago. If it had
been corkscrew we could understand
its fallen value.
The course of true love runs smooth
enough in limousine.
Yes, we note that an acknowledged
expert says that the way to overcome
the Fl. G. of l.. is to increase pro-
dUction," and we have emblazoned
that saying in Illuminated text and
hunt it in our hen house-but it seems
! that the poor things can't read.
Give a girl straight eye and a
worry about her heart being in the
right place.
An exchange says kissing a girl
through a veil is about as pleasant as
kissing the window curtain" Yes,
kissing a man without a mustache Is
just about as pleasant as eating soup
with fork. wish we could convince
the girls Of that.-Editor).
We are told that a second Dante has
reached our city in the form of very
emotional Sunday school teacher. And
it is also said that said teacher has
under her guidance a large group of
pupils, all of whom are more or less
Interested in the art of dancing. So,
as the story goes, this is what she told
them on a recent Sunday morning:
"There certainly is a hell awaiting
those who indulge too often in the
fascinating diversion of dancing, and
when you reach that place of torture
you will find waiting for you only
jazz orchestra, and of course, you will
dance and dance and dance until your
feet are worn out most, and friends
coming in will say, My. how You
dance, but you do look tired; why
don't you quit dancing?' And all you
can say will be. ooh, how l wish l
could stop for a little while, but
can't and so you will have to dance,
on and on through all eternity. Now
who of you would want to dance your
selves into any such place?
"Me," quickly replied an ardent
devotee. "Me for hell I know that
I could dance forever and forever, If
only could dance with me-"
