INTIMATE D|SCOURSES|
(By George Bingham, Writer of Ma.

in Lakeland)

The mystery Of being here gives
us something to think about. Looking
at life from one angle, it seems that
great many big things are brought
about by mere ccidents-things
which cause US to exist, and put us
i'll places either high or low.
Unless we believe in Generalization,
or something like that we are bound
tc admit that there are lot of cul ,
limitations which have to be placed
under the head of happen-so.
Let us take person, for example,
and trace back to his beginning How
lie came to be here. We shall call him
John. At some time in the dim and
distant past his father and mother
met fer the first time. Then they
were young persons. Maybe they met
lat social gathering in the neigh
borhood or village. Let us say that

who later became his WIFE also was
among those present" The two
were introduced. They talked. They
somehow or another found interest in
each other Then they drifted apart,
but met again later. Then, one day
while he was feeling very bold. he
asked her if he could call to see her.
She consented Within a few visits
they were in love. They were en-
gagged, and marriage followed.
Now, just suppose, that on the
night of the party the girl had taken
a severe headache, or had eaten
something for supper to make her i'll.
or had. perchance, eaten some onions,
or some old friend or relative from
10 distance had happened in just be-
fore she left home, or that one of the
numerous small things could have
happened to prevent her from going
The girl would not have gone to the
party. She would not have met the
young man under the same condi-
tions. and the chances are they
would never have married. Some
may say that the couple surely would
have met later, and marriage would
have resulted. This might have beer
the case, but the chances are it would
not have been. They would have met

under different conditions, in differ

ferent frames of mind, and there
might not have been anything more
than casual acquaintanceship in the
future. We must all realize that the

we have TO deal He and this girl

her hair fixed up like it was that
night, and in the absence of the soft
glow of the lamp-light or the moon
light-which is such a great first
aid to cupid.
No, the chances are if the girl had
not gone to that particular party
that night, or that if he had found,
after the hard days work that he did

was wise enough to foresee that
programs, rivalling those of Europe,
would tend to destroy the conception
of equality which, in his mind, was
the foundation of democracy. Accord
ingly, he rode to the capital on horse
back, hitched his mag" to the fence,
walked around 10 Ike Office OF the
chief justice and took the oath of Of
fee.
He wanted it understood that he
had come to Washington to serve the
people, not to receive homage.
To what extent Harding is imbued
with the Jefersonian spirit will de-
velop, when he enters upon the duties
of his place. So far, he has borne
himself with becoming modesty, and
avoided everything that savored of
the divine right" theory. In no pos
sible way could he serve the country
better than by keeping on that line.

WILD GAME SUPPLY Is
GETTING SHORTER ON
ACCOUNT BAD SPORTS

1t might be of interest to the hun
dreds of hunters in and around Lake
land that there is in the United States
about seven million more of their
kind. And a goodly per cent of them
are now in the field.
More than half of the seven mil
lions of hunters are licensed under
state laws according to George A
Lawyer, chief of the United States
game wardens. In this number there
are about 100000 women.
The chief game warden declares
that while 3,S95,122 licensed hunters
are conforming to the state and fed
eral laws, there are at least twice
Ihat number who ignore the laws and
destroy game wantonly.
OF all the states. there are only
four in which the hunter does not
have to pay state hunting license, and
one of these is Florida. The other
states are Mississippi, Delaware and
North Carolina.
In Florida there is a special county
license required, which goes to the
school fund.
Of course, out of this great num-
Der of hunters there are bound to
be many had marksmen' not only who
miss the game but who kill cows,

Joe Earman's retirement from the
ranks CT active journalists, after max
ing for himself and the paper with
which he was connected, the Palm
Beach Post, a reputation second to
none in the state, has excited much re-
gretful comment He has a plain, d.
rect and yet thoroughly characteristic
style, which gives a peculiar punch to
what he says editorially, while his ser
vices as an upbuilding force in bis

public, and we sincerely hope that the

The American mistletoes differ from
the English mistletoes in the Ninde-
pendence of the sexes. In the Euro
pean, the male and female flowers
grow upon the same plant, hence ber-

In America each sex labors for itself,
and grows on separate plants; hence
there are many plants wholly barren

A DIVINE PICTURE

Lakeland people who turned their
eyes toward the west last evening were
thrilled by enc of the most beautiful
spectacles of nature. The crescent
moon-the old moon in the new
moons arm" was in close conjunc-
ton with Venus and Mars.
Those two planets shone with more
than their wonted brilhance-Venus
bright and glorious like the goddess of
love for whom she was named, Mars
blazing red like a god of war proud of
the achievements of his subjects.
Grouped together the Two planets
and our own satellite formed a picture
which no artist could ever paint-a
picture proclaming the majesty of Gre
alton and the insignihcance of man.
Yet small as is man compared with
the vast bulk of those heavenly bodies,
brief as is his course compared with
the cycles through which they have
been rolling in other orbits, he yet
possesses faculties which enable him
to stretch forth with his mind through
The abysses of space, weigh those vast
orbs, trace their pathway through the
heavens and learn something - not
much, but at least a marvellous begin
ning-of what is taking place upon
their shining surfaces.
He knows that the moon is dry and
dead, like the most desolate portion of
an earthly desert, without water, air,
or any perceptible means of sustaining
life. He knows that Venus is clad
perpetually in a mantle of vapor, of
the same elements as our own atmos-
pheres saturated with moisture, and that
in all probability the intense, swelte1ng
heat on the surface makes life impossi-
bic. He knows that Mars has an at
mosphere like ours though much light
er, that it has clouds that drift with
the wind, that snow falls annually at
its pols. and that there are probable
grounds to believe that the planet is
the abode of intelligent creatures, per-
haps resembling the inhabitants of the
earth.
The ability of man 10 make these
discoveries and deductions is as won
derful, in its way, as the system of
which those planets are parts.
Such pictures, therefore, viewed in
the light of mans knowledge and
fancy, convey double lesson-an adj
monitor to humility with regard to
the things of earth and all the pitifuI
distinctions which separate the small
est from the greatest of earth's crea-
lures, and proclamation of our kin
ship with the Great Master of the Uni
verse who has endowed us with por-
ton of that divine immortal mind,
which accepts not even the Milky Way
nor the path of the remotest sun as is
boundary.

The report that Harding expects to
spend most of his time in Florida cruis-
ing around on the Atlantic ocean is
sad news to cur Republican friends.

horses and other livestock, but a
number of them each year also acct
dentally kill each other. The greatest
casualty list occurs in the deer coun-
try, where so many hunters are mis-
taken for game.
Each winter there are several
casualties in the deer and bear-hunt-
ing districts of Florida.
