"Dear little Mr.. Bob White" said his

Dear little Mrs. Bob White" he
answered.
Mr.. Bob White had met Mrs. Bob
White early in the spring. just as the
snow was going and soon now they
were going to have their nest all ready
on the ground. all lined with sort
leaves and dry grasses.
AS Mrs. Bob White was planning
she decided she would lay dozen
eggs, lovely white eggs.
Lets talk of the future, the happy
happy future" said Mrs. Bob White.
"The present is happy, too. but can
see such a happy future because am
to be with you and you're such won
derful bird"
And you are such dear little bird
treasure" said Mr. Bob White.
"When l am nesting what will you
be doing?" she asked.
81 will sit on the branch of nearby
tree and l will tell you that I'm Bob
White and that l love you ana mat
I'm your own Bob White and no one

"Then," said Mrs. Bob White, I'VE

take our downy darlings, some of them
with ridiculous pieces of she'll still
attached to their adorable little backs,
and We'll go off seeking goodies to
eat. Wen eat berries aud weeds and
seeds and We'll help the farmer by
eating destructive, bad insects for him
and also we will help destroy the
seeds of the weeds which are bad for
his land.
when wicked people hunt us with
guns let us hold our wings close to
our sides, for we will be, able to hide
in smaller places then. But, ah. we

MANY SUBMIT TO BLACKMAIl
According to Private Detective, t 10
Great and Thriving Industry
in This Country.

| One of the greatest Of our private
detectives told me the other day that
If he were a bright young man and
wanted to 90 into profitable business
he would handle nice line OF black
mail, says a writer In the Boston
Globe.
believe me-" said he, more money
Is being paid out in blackmail In this
country than on the army and navy.
I'm not kidding any. / think that II
| had the blackmail payments for two
years | could settle our national debt
and be money ahead"
Now and then, he admitted, black
mailers find rose leaves in their silken
sheets.
A young man was found dead some
time ago In n certain Eastern city,
large part of his brains having been
wasted by what seems to have been
one of the large blue automatics the
army and navy wear. He did not work
on the case, but he thinks that the
dead young man tried to blackmail the
wrong person.
He thinks he knows who the person
is, but he isn't saying anything. He
hopes some other blackmailer will try
him on.
A gentleman from Chicago IS said
to have been asked for $4,000 by
pair Of blackmailing crooks. The gen.
tleman from Chicago enlisted the aid
Of his chauffeur and beat the pair Of
crooks so that the lady did not get
out Of hospital for four weeks. The
man is in the hospital yet.
1t was not polite or gentlemanly on
the part Of the Chicago man, but 1t
was effective. The same pair will not
try 1t on him again.
"That is the only way to handle
blackmailers." said the detective.
Don't bargain with them-beat them.
If you can't do it Yourself hire a man.
But beat them so they think the next
time out you will kill them. If you
do not do it you're lost. You will pay
all your life. They never let up"
"Do you mean what you say about
money payments?"
"It is the biggest business in the
country. next to steel"

OCALA's ADVANTAGES

One of our live travelling men,
while covering his territory last
week, stopped overnight in Gaines
Eille, where he met a bunch of other
travelling men, and as usual began
swapping, not lies, but. experiences.
Some of the other boys had been in
Ocala Thursday afternoon and eve
ming, which is our weekly half
holiday, and finding most of the
stores closed and few of the people
on the streets. came to the conclusion,
or at least in the sportive way they
have, they told the Ocala man that
his was dead town.
"Well, see here" said the Ocala
man, "you have a nice little town here
ard there is always a crowd moving
around; but you have to stay in town
because there is no place to go; you
haven't any roads, so you have to stay
on the streets. AS far as moving
around is concerned, you might as
well sell your cars and buy five or six
flying jennies. Over at Ocala, we
are right in town when business is
going on, but when we have holiday
We like to take our cars and ride out
in our beautiful county, and look at
the fine farms and the bosky dells,
etc. We have roads and can travel on
them. We go out to the springs and
down to the lake. and to dozens of
ether pretty places, that we can get
to without miring down or breaking
a spring. We all come back at night;
but if you want to see the streets
crowded and autos parked by the hun
dred around the business center, come
over Saturday or any other brisk bus
mess day."
Some of the boys accepted this
reasonable statement cheerfully; a
few gloomily; but one of these last
cllirked up in minute.
"Well," he said, "there is one good
thing about Ocala-you can always
| get into red-hot poker game there,
and you can almost always find a
friend to loan you money enough to
| get home on, too"
/ Travelling men are very observant;
severe but generally just critics. II
any good-sized proportion of them
say anything about a town, it is gen.
orally So They go all over the state
meeting each other and comparing
notes. And it is no fault of theirs
| that Ocala is in danger of becoming
known as the Florida Monte Carlo.

sIxtvPound plane.

A piano weighing only go pounds
may not compare favorably In looks
with a baby grand, but 1t has other
advantages. Soldiers at the trent were
able to tuck it away In their equip
ment, and 1t helped to while away many
hours. The piano has a regular i've
octave range, but tuning forks instead
Of strings are used to produce sound.
This does away with necessity Of tun-
ing the instrument When q key iS

ducing q sound. The fork is connect
ed by a spring to a sounding board
which reinforces the sound. The pi-

end Of one arm of the fork may be
raised, when the fork is free to vibrate
loud and long.

When lovely woman descends to
equality with man in business, there
is one thing at least she will Improve.
She will not talk so uncharitably
about other people. At present when
a man talks carelessly about another
man he is likely to suddenly suffer
from the impact of a fist against his
eye or his mouth. But a woman can
say almost anything she wants to,
and she often abuses the privilege to
the amount of running some other
woman. But when she has to answer
for what she says she win be at least
as careful as men are, and Mrs.
Grundy will shink from a giantess to

You may call yourself duh in a 1T Of de-

Or drop all your pep. and say yeu don't

But I'll tell you, my friend, that's q
habit to break.
In planning this world not a single mis-
take
Was made in the building. So when you
complain
Take stock of yourself. You're the chap
that's to blame.
Just right about face; 1t may hurt some,
it's true;
But that's just the way any good sport
would de.
When you wake in the morning don't
look for a cloud;
You know what's behind IL. Just swing
In the crowd.
Be one Of them, cheerfully singing along.
You may get a bump, but don't stop your
song,
Perhaps one win hear it who needs just
a bit
OF encouragement now Your song may
be It.
What matter If yesterdays failure were
big?
Today is your day, so get in and dig.
II you meet any trouble. why just

And call it 3 ladder. They oft lead to

But whatever you do. be quick and be-
gin It:
You never can tell just how much there
