Upon the roof IN marshaled measure

The passing yea"
Has changed the world to white
And set the seal Of winter on the camp.
But yesterday
A footpath down tn hill
Touched hands with other roads that led
afar:
But now the way
1s hidden meath tho chill
OF diamonded drifts that glisten like the
star.
We are shut in
From ev'ry distant thing.
That other life amid the world of men:
From dirt and din,
Until returning spring
Shall find the road and waken US again.
The chore-boy now
His frosted finger blows
And makes his path from islanded door
to door;
Like sturdy prov
He parts the bilowed SHOWS
And heaps his brands Of comfort on the
floor.
The fire he plies
With piles of pitchy pine
Until the flames roar upward in q gale;
And we arise
To breathe the wintry wine.
To plunge abroad and icy tasks assajl.
So breaks the day:
So comes the arctic dawn
In this our world when snow Is here;
And 80 away
The months shall follow on
Till softer skies shall mark another year.
The horses stamp
In clouds of steamy smoke.
The teamster's voice of mastery await
Their bits they champ
And shake their leather yoke
And life breaks forth where life Is isolate
Now from the wood.

CANADA B|GW|NNER
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at lnterna.
tional Live Stock Show at Chi.
cago-carried Off Sweepstakes
for All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to.
and affords definite proof of, the gen
erosity of the soil and climate of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country. at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter-
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of total
Of twenty-five prizes. Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by farmer living in
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
Of a total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as first-class agri-
cultural country, but she carried off
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, partial list of which fol-
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns
also in the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses, Grand Championship for
Ciydesdale stallion. also Grand Cham
pionship for American bred mare, as
well rs first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion, first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class. Canada oh
tained first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as we'll as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, in
addition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs, in the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, and
championship for best single barrow,
as, well as ovel twenty first, second
and third prizes in other classes of
YOrkshires.
With regard to the live stock shown
1t must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance, but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown in western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses,
of which most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed. and this
in open competition with the world.

"Old Doolittle has been married q
long time, and he's got so used to be-
ing bossed by his wife that he doesn't
know what to do when she isn't
around. If you offered to lend him SIS
he'd say he'd have to consult Eliza
Jane about it. One time, when his
wife was away, visiting, he ate about
peck of green cucumbers, and the
collie shut him up like a folding bed.
1t was the worst case I ever saw.
heard him yelling for the police, and
when rushed over there and saw him
on the floor, with his feet clasped
across the back of his neck, I phoned
for doctor at once. We put him to
bed, and the agony that man endured
was sickening. And as he rolled
around there, expecting to go off the
hooks every minute, he kept saying,
What will Eliza Jane say when she
hears called in doctor?
"After his wife came back, I was
over at their house one night, and she
roasted me to crisp for sending for a
doctor. She said that if had the first
instincts Of a gentleman I'd pay the
bill, for I wasn't authorized to call in
sawbones, and she didn't want one in
the house. Doolittle sat there and
heard his wife roasting me until my
whiskers curled and, although he knew
the doctor saved his life, he never said
a word.
"After I left the house, he sneake6
out and overlook me, and told me he
was sorry for what had happened, but
experience had taught him that it's no
use to butt in when his wife has the
floor.
"Gooseworthy came over this morn
ing while was feeding the cows, and
told me tale Of woe. His wife has
about five hundred female relations,
aunts and stepsisters and cousins and
such people, and she keeps the house
full Of them all the time. He has to
sleep on sanitary couch in the hall,
while his own feather bed is occupied
by an aunt who weighs about 400
pounds. He has comfortable rocking
chair he bought for his own private
use, and now he never gets whack
at it. His wife's step-sister. who
brought her tortoise-shell cat along, is
always using it. He said he was get
ting plumb disgusted with such a con-
dition of affairs, but he didn't know
what to do.
II asked him why he didn't read the
authorized version of the riot act to his
wife, and tell her to ship all those rel
les out Of the house. He seemed
shocked at the suggestion. you don't
know what you're talking about he
said. You've never been married.
"The queer thing about it is that
Gooseworthy is great stickler for his
rights when he's away from home. He's
as sassy as bobcat, and will fight at
the drop of the hat if anybody tries to
impose on him. He walks with his
head back and his chest out in front Of
him, but as soon as he reaches his own
front gate he begins to look so blamed
abject that the neighbors pity him.
"Then, there's old Major Sendoff,
who distinguished himself on many q
crimson battlefield. He has courage
enough for three regiments. But he
married the Widow Bunkum a couple
of years ago and she makes him do
the family washing, and hang the
clothes on the line, and suppose he
does the ironing, too. I could tell you
of hundred such cases"
81 suppose you could" sighed the
professor, "but don't care for sensa-
tional fiction"

1T Is LIKELY TO BE EXCITING

Editor Star: | have just read in
yesterdays issue of the Star that the
first thrill Of real automobile racing
Will take place at the fair grounds on
Saturday next.
This announcement, within itself is
enough TO create the first thrill, in the
minds of those who are in the least
familiar with the construction of a
track suitable for such high speed as
these racers are capable of making.
In the construction of the Ocala
track the plans only provided for
something like a three-minute gait,
such as your plug and mine could
make, and which was in advance of
the first automobile to our town, and
since which time the elevations on
the curves have gradually decreased
until a four-minute gait would likely
represent its capacity at present.
During the races at the Tampa fair
the past week and on a track that has
an elevation greatly in excess of the
Ocala track, the cars would often
skid near to the outer rail. with cas-
ings forced from the wheels. flying
here and there, compelling the driv-
ers to retire from the race.
| have not learned with what sue
! cess the New York Racing Association
was attended in the meet on the
Gainesville track. and which was built
very near along the same lines as the
| Ocala track, but have learned that the
same has been re-surfaced and re-
stored to its original elevation.
If you attend the races and these
daredevils insist on making it from
| s" to 100 miles per, | would advise
! that you do not take a position on the
| outside of the curves. Rather make
IL tree top like some of our culluC
brethren; and We middle-aged holC
down your hair, for the thrills art
| likely to occur. Jas. r. Moorhead.

ANOTHER BOND
ELECTION CALLED
\ Large Attendance at Tomorrow
Nights Board of Trade Meet
ing is Urged

The members of the Marion County
Board of Trade at the regular month
ly meeting tomorrow night at eight
O'Clock, will be asked to decide in what
way the organization shall get behind

ty commissioners for April 20. The

commissioners will be a county wide
bond issue for S56O.0OO. Only two
roads will be built, state road No. 2,
better known as the Dixie Highway,
ard state road No. 5, in the western
part of the county from Romeo to
DunnellOn, Marion county's link of the
read for which Levy county has re-
Gently bonded for 100000.
The two roads decided upon by the
county commissioners to be built with
the proposed bond issue will be con-
stTucted entirely under the supervis-
iOn of the state road department,
which in turn is subject to the direc-
ton of the federal road department
On state road No. 2, the county will
get S25O,O00 of state and federal aid,
making total of $75O,OOO to be spent
on this road. On state road No. 5,
the county will get 100000 state and
federal aid, making a total spent on

Suspicion

Berlin, Feb. 25-Mathias Erzberger
last night resigned as minister of
finance, basing his action upon de-
she to have the investigation of his
alleged falsifed tax returns pressed
without prejudice or consideration for
his official position. While an official
announcement assigns this as the rea-
SOY for his retirement. the alleged
motive is eclipsed by the character of
evidence which DR.. Karl Helfferich,
former vice chancellor, succeeded in
piiing up against Erzberger during
the last two days of the latter's libel
sEit against him. Under Secretary of
State Mossle has been selected to sue
