The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-03-11

Inc SpeclaI request OF the lew
that this department be not discon-
tinued merged US into an all Sunday
reading of the thirteenth chapter of
First Corinthians, even unto the thir-
teenth verse.
There was a mention of nineteen
different stones in the Bible the last
time we read it through. We thought
there belonged to be twenty, but per-
haps they failed to find the one we
threw.
Thomas Hughes was a wonderful
man and gave to the world one of its
best sermons when he said: BLESSED
are they who have the gift of making
| friends, for it was one of Gods best
gifts. 1t involved many things, but
above all the power of going out of
ones self, and approaching whatever
is noble, and loving one another.
Kind looks, kind words, kind acts
and warm handshakes-these are the
secondary means of grace to human
lity in trouble and fighting their un-
seen battles"
In England, France and Italy there
| is legend which says that if a girl
will bury a drop of her own blood
under rose bush, she will be visited
by the graces that give the rosiest of
rosy cheeks. One doesn't have to go
20 all that trouble in Ocala.

Glass;" said lady to friend, few
days ago. "How lovely; you of
course hope to speak it fiuently very
soon"
ooh, no." says the little lady. "now
that the war is over really do not
Iexpect to gain any material benefit
from it. I just thought to speak d
little French in the home would be
real sweet"
Why in the world do people go to
Gods house to gossip. Girls, boys,
citizens whoever you are, if you are
church or any other kind of gossiper,
quit it. 1t only puts every one out
of tune with life, is distracting and is
one of the devils ways of depriving
your soul of blessings. Quit it, and
feed your brain of things worth while.
Ex-President Taft, before the Ma.
tional Conference of the League of
Nations, held few days since in st.
Louis, said: '1 used to think that the
introduction of women into politics
would make indifference, as the wom-
en- of community would vote as the
linen did / think the ballot would be
good for them and for the country
first, because women are more sensi-
tive to the trend of public opinion
than the men, and less hampered by
traditions of politics. Second, the
women need the ballot for protection,
in order that they may meet men en-
gagged in the same work on equal
terms"
Mr.. Taft "has sholy" got his polit-
ical ear to the right strip of ground.
The women vote today looms big on
the political horizon-12, 500, 900
worth.
Now some bright body has discov-
cred that butterflies sleep head
downwards. Well, we was butter
fly once, and we know well and good
we didn't sleep topsy turvy or fold
our wings about us for bed quilt,
either.
"Can you go fishing today?" asked
Uncle Buckner of Judge Warner.
"Yes, believe So" said the judge.
@But Buck, how can you afford to
loa fthat way and it's cotton planting
time ?"
"Now, look here Judge, just want
to impress upon you right now; any
man who can, after an hours fishing,
bring home to his folks several pounds
of fish is no loafer."
We wonder if the above is original
or "mythy."
"Oh," says two charming visitors,
recently arrived from the north. "you
know before we got to Ocala we
thought we'd step right off the train
Into the Everglades-our mamas
told us to be careful and not slip
into them"
There is man IN our town VINO Is
so wcndrous wise. he can unscramble
scrambled eggs, or uncuss custard
pies. We wonder if that is the rea-
son he is always tired and feels like
billed owl?"
1t is when the leaves begin to fall
that we wish the laws of gravitation
could be changed.
The Literary Digest's photographer
says that the use of the term "lady'
is greatly abused. He says that i'll
informed persons use the term ''lady"
for woman" under the mistaken idea
that the term woman is derogatory,
and that such use is downright vul-
garity. One never hears the term
esales gentleman" but salesman"
