An Authors pepositorx.

Last year the Sutro branch Of the
California State library, located in
San Francisco, offered to receive for
safe keeping the manuscripts Of un.
finished books The idea has worked
out so well that a substantial collec-
tion of manuscripts has been estab-
lished, the collection being described
as the Authors depository. One hun.
dred authors have taken advantage of
the offer and have sent their manu-.
scripts, either printed or imprinted,
finished or unfinished, to the deposit
tory, and letters from authors indi
cate that the depository is much ap-
preciated by writer's as means of
preserving valuable matter that
might otherwise became lost. A per-
manent authors depository is also
maintained in the California depart
ment of the state library, which is lo-
Gated at Sacramento.

ANOTHER THIEF ESCAPES

The Star is informed that W. S.
Tucker, one of the gang of sheplifters
captured here a few weeks ago, and
sent to the penitentiary, except one
woman, fuckers wife, who was fined,
and whose fine was paid by men
whose sympathy entirely outran their
judgment, has been pardoned, and
that he and his wife are free to con-
tinue their avocation of making
living at the expense of other people.
In pardoning this man. the state
pardoning board has played the peo-
pie of this community and honest peo-
pie everywhere, a dirty trick. The
members of the board had no more
reason to pardon the man than the
jury which convicted him had to aequIr
him. We are certain it had no new
evidence and no request from the peo-
pie who were wronged by the woman
and her husband. It is probable that
II succumbed to the wiles of an artful
sobsister, who with her husband,
neither possessing any more princi-
pie than horsethief, are now free TO
continue their profession of living off
the work of honest people. This bunch
was one of the gangs of thieves work
ing Florida. They had not been long
in Marion county when they were
found out, arrested, tried and convict
ed with a rapidity that was much TO
the credit of our officers and courts,
and would have proved great dis
couragement to others of their ilk
everywhere. Now half the work is
updone. One of the states big thieves,
sent to Raiford year and half ago,
has also been pardoned out. We have
little doubt that that double-dyed but
cher of women. Mendenhall, will also
soon be pardoned. You often hear
great criticism of officers of the law
not doing their full duty, but they
have mighty little encouragement to
be honest and energetic.

Any man who has lived in Ocala
over twenty years, and looks back
over the way the town has grown in
that time, will have to admit that
while the town has not been a race
horse it has been steady, useful, go
ahead freight puller At the begin
ming of this century, the town had no
paved streets and its sidewalks were
tracks thru the weeds and grass.
Tucked away in corner was a little
electric current plant, doing about a
quarter of the business that is done
by the one today. The water plant,
owned by private parties, most of
them living out of town, could not
supply tenth of the water that the
city-owned plant of today can pro-
duce. Scores and scores of fine
houses, from neat cottages to elegant
mansions have been built or rebuilt.
From a sanitary standpoint, the town
has vastly improved. Twenty years
ago. railroad passenge racconTmoda-
tions here were confined to chicken
coop up town and pigpen downtown.
The schools were housed N insufhc-
lent and unsafe wooden buildings. The
courthouse was a little chunk of red
brick. There was no federal building,
and the postoffice was stuck away in
a corner of business block The
theater was in the third story of a
building almost destitute of fire pro-
lection. The telephone station was
in another third story room and did
20 per cent of its present business.
Since 1900 our public property and
seni-public utilities have increased in
value at least a million dollars and
we are preparing to add to them. The
great pleasure resort at Silver
Springs was not in existence, the line
of swift yachts to Palatka and the
Oklawaha Valley railroad had not
been thought of. Neither had the
Marion County Fair. There was one
little bank Had Rip Van Winkle
gone to sleep out in Waldo cave in
1900, and woke up and come to town
on the last fourth of July, he wouldn't
have known where he was. There
are, it is true. some dead ons in Ocala
but in comparison with the live wires
and steady workers they are few in

PLAY, TO BEAT FATHER TIME
New York Physicians Advice to Those
Who May Be Conscious of the
Passing Years.

Don't grow old-or rather, though
you grow old as far as years are con-
cerned, do not get old otherwise If
is easy to stay young, according to
Dr. Louis r. Weltzmiller, physical di-
rector of West Side Y. NJ. G. A. He
AYERS that most people grow old be-
cause they cease doing young things;
not because they need new glands.
"A man is young" said the doctor,
because he plays; he doesn't play be-
cause he is young He is the product
of his own actions. The old man
who sits down after dinner, grouchy
because the children make a noise,
has already passed on He ought to
be Oslerized. All he is worth to the
family is the pay check he brings
home.
aBut look at mother, who plays
games with the children, sympathizes
with them in their troubles and has
a part in all they do. She remains
flexible; she hasn't had time to grow
old.
eIt is dangerous for some men to
retire from business. You know the
kind who work at high tension for
long years, doing nothing but strive
for money. They get it and then an
nounce their retirement; little later
you read a nice obituary saying what
a success they had made They hadn't.

things. Don't be too dignified TO play
baseball. old cat, leapfrog or other
lively things which keep the muscles

Food PIentIfuI in the Woods.

It is said Daniel Boone could take
his rife and a bag Of salt and live
in comfort on what the woods pro-
vided Several men on wagers have
gone into the forest virtually naked
and worked out living and suitable
clothing equipment.
According to foresters Of the New
York State College of Forestry at
Syracuse, It is still possible to find In
the forests of the state, even without
the use of the game which is so care
fully protected, sufficient food to make
life not only possible but pleasant,
says the New York Evening Sun.
This forest food supply is divided
into several groups such as fruits,
nuts, herbs, roots and vegetables. And
this makes no allowance for the types
of edible mushrooms, for special
knowledge of varieties is necessary

Florida is the plan of assessing prop

Anelent cornerstone Layina.

The custom Of laying the corner
stone of public building with cere-
monies was practiced by the a1cients.
At the laying Of the cornerstone when
the capitol of Rome was rebuilt a pro-
cessfon OF vestal virgins, robed In
white, surrounded the stone and con-
secrated 1t with Hbations Of living
water. A prayer to the gods followed,
and then the magistrates, priests, sem
ators and knights laid hold Of the
ropes and moved the mighty stone to
It's proper position. In hollow cut
In the stone were placed ingots of
gold, silver and other metals which
had not been melted in any furnace.
With the Jews the cornerstone was
considered an emblem of power, and
they also performed ceremonies at its
laying. In medieval times the rite
was taken up by the order of Free
masons and has by them been brought
down to modern days, the Masonic
ceremony of laying d cornerstone be-
ing symbolical.
