Sustain the Home GUARDS

1t is very much to the interest
of the people of Ocala and Marion
county that the home guard be en-
couraged and supported. There
is possibility that it might be
needed-and needed badly-at
any day.-Ocala Star.
This applies with equal force to
Punta Gorda and DeSoto county.
Since the great war ended, some
people think the home guards are
no longer needed and that it
would be proper to disband them.
This is great mistake. Should
they be disbanded now, we would
have no organization to protect
lis in case of sudden public tur-
MOL and riot.
But the guards cannot be dis
banded except by act of the legis-
lature. They are governed by the
same rules and laws under which
soldiers serve in the United States
army, which make them an eff
cient organization for preserving
the public peace and protecting
the lives and property Of the pee
pie.
The Punta Gorda home guards
are in fine shape, armed and uni
formed by the county and subject
to duty only within the county.
They have been drilling every
week. Hereafter, they will drill
every alternate week.

Arcadia Enterprise, Friday
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter A. Kaler, Of
Punta Gorda, spent Monday in
the city the guests of friends. Mr.
kaler is city editor of the Punta
Gorda Herald, and is helping to
make that paper one of the best in
South Florida.
Shortly after Superintendent
Boone was dismissed from the
charge of the Boys Reform
School at Mariana, there was
sent to the press from Tallahassee
a list of forty persons as appli-
cants for the position. In this
list, the name of Mrs. I'll. s. Rick
ard appeared. That good lady
writes from Fort Myers to deny
emphatically that she was or is an
applicant for the SUPPLEMENTARY
OF that reform school. We do not
Know who was responsible for her
name appearing in the list of ap-
plicantS, but we believe it was the
Tallahassee correspondent of the
Tampa Tribune.
Fannie Murphy, an industrious
colored woman who enjoyed the
respect of a large number of peo-
pie, both white and black, died at
her home in the eastern part of
town on Monday evening, and
was buried at Cleveland the fol-
lowing day. She had been i'll for
a month. She leaves married
daughter, who lives in Polk coun-
ty, and one adopted child.
The ladies of the town, particu-
iarly those who are club members,
are urged to be at the Soldiers
Club Room at 3 o'clock this
Thursday afternoon to hear an
address on club work, which will
be given by Miss Skinner, a So
cial leader of Clearwater.

is still in force; and in obedience
to 1t we will have to strike from
our list all who neglect to pay up
within ten days after date Of
bills sent.
To send a bill and afterwards
send receipt to a subscriber
who pays, costs fully six cents,
which means cost Of six dollars
for collecting one hundred sub
scriptions. Friends could save us
half this amount by observing the
dates printed after their names on
the margins or wrappers of their
papers, and by paying up as soon
as the dates show that their sub
scriptions have run out. That is
what the dates are for,--to show
the time the subscriptions are out.
1t is such a big, tedious job to
go through a list Of eight hundred
names every month and make out
and send bills to all who owe for
subscription, and we are so short
Of help in the Office, that we can
not be prompt and regular in re-
vising the list and sending. out
bills.
Subscribers, therefore, would
confer great favor by not wait
ing for bills to be sent them, but
by paying up as soon as the dates
show their time is out.

The London Pepys, Jr;
Hys War; Diary

TINE third volume in that delightfully."-
l. whimsical series of reincarnations
of the immortal Samuel Pepys is so much
like the two that have gone before that
any description is unnecessary A Last
Diary of the Great VAR covers the
ground from july 1917, to December,
1918, and so describes in Pepys's quaint
language the ;annss mirabiEs of the dec
ade. Day by,day the unnamed chronicler
who chooses to hide himself behind the
pseudonym efr2Samuel Pepys, Junior,
ESQ.,, tells the war news as it comes to
London and interlards many delightful
tidbit Of personal and town gossip.
The book cannot possibly be illustrated
without detaehing day from the diary,
and perhaps the best one to take for
American readers is July 4, 1918. On that
historic day Mr.. Pepys, Junior, set down:
"Up betimes, and in the park saw thing
1 had never thought to see, viz, the Amer
ikans' jack fly on the palace beside the
Kings standard, being their Indepn-
denee Day; and over the Ministers offices
and all the town see '0ld Glory as is
the Americans name of it, fly with our
jack, and in the streets their soldiers bear
ing it on sticks, and many of our people
doing the like, it is indeed as if we were

afternoon to Stamford Bridge, where the
Americans to play a match of baseball
betwixt their army and navy; which is
like our game of FOUNDERS, is said, but no
corking used. The King come, with the
Queene and Princess, and the Queene
Mother, with her princesses, all mighty
fine, and the King gives the Americans a
ball to play with, his name writ on it,
they say. But Lord. such a erowde as
come together, no seat might I get for
money, nor see little; only did hear the
greatest din of yelling and chanting of
cries. Some discourse I had with GER

tain gentleman out of Canada, a very
civil, respectable man, who told me that
in the Americans games and sports it is
no more the players that be matched than
the bystanders, who be drilled in chornses,
and all their endeavor is which side may
shout the louder, or, by their cries, the
more greatly dumfounder the players.
Which metbought strange"
The book makes, with the two which
have gone before, an extremely complete
account Of the war as it was received in
England and viewed through English eyes.

"The Sinister ReveP'
Is Well Entitled

CRAIG VAN DAM, whose father had
~ $50,000,000 and belonged 10 the
Union Club, had "nerves" and felt cold
and shaky' when he Was eight years old,
so Lillian Barrett, who was graduated
from Smith College and has written her
first novel, The Sinister Reucl, asks us to
believe. Also he was the first Yale
student to own really smart motor car.
He left New Haven after distressing
scandal and his father gave him 100000
and sent him to Europe, where he became
a drunkard and ibertine. Two years
later he returned to New York and mar
ried Constance Edgemere, his boyhood
sweetheart. AT the time of his proposal
Craig told her what "terrible life" he
had led.
Ibis voice broke harshly. Constance
turned suddenly and faced him. He saw
through his tears a luminous, slender
figure, great trust, great love shining
through the translucent quiet of her eyes.
She stood there, a radiant manifestation
OF pure love, glorified by its power to
raise up and forgive"

Hon. Mr.. Punch Saw
1t Through, Smiling


TT there was no humor among the sol
Il diers engaged in a war IT is pretty
certain that armies would go mad by
regiments. The Mndlarks is made up Of
sketches originally printed in Punch and
written by Crosbie Garstin, who well
knew the British officer and soldier
during the five years of the great war and
who himself served as Lieutenant in the
First King Edwards Horse. A charac-
teristic bit Of his humor is TO be found
in this introduction to the sketch called
Mon Repos, the name given by the mar
rator and his chum, Albert Edward, to
dugout temporarily serving them as a
billet at the front:
"Albert Edward and / are on detach.
ment Just now. / can't mention what job
we are on because Hindenburg is listen
ing He watches every move made by
Albert Edward and me and disposes his
forces accordingly. Now and again he
forestalls us, now and again he don't. On
the former occasions he rings up Luden-
dorff, and they make night Of it with
beer and song; on the latter he pushes the
bell violently for the old German God.
The spot Albert and 1 inhabit just now is
very interesting; things happen all around
us. There Is a tame balloon tied by
string in the back garden, an ammunition
column on either flank, and an infantry
battalion camped in front. Airplanes
buzz overhead in flocks and there Is
regular tank service past the door. One
way and another our present location
fairly teens with life; Albert Edward
saws it reminds him Of London. To
heighten the similarity we get bombed
every night"
So utterly grotesque tale as that told
of The Padre must have happened; pure
fancy could hardly be responsible for a
victorious charge being brought about BY
chaplain's desire to retrieve set Of
false teeth from an enemy's position.
The two part tale of The Harriers is
genuine piece of military humor; and
The BOBBY Trap likewise, with all its
disastrous connotation. And if any
member of the German army who fought
in those last days of the retreat before
November IL, 1918, ever chances upon the
final tale in the book, The Phantom Army,
we are of the opinion that he viii die Of
modification. For we can share to the
full the emotions of the cavalryman who
looked upon that "army" and then
'thought of the Boehe fleeing eastward
with the fear of God in his soul, and rolled
about in my saddle drunk with JOY"
