Grover Cleveland Was a Remark
able Man Says Chauncey Depew

Grover Cleveland was a remarkable
man. He had more political courage
of the General Jackson type than al
most any man who ever held great
RESPONSIBLE positions. He defled
Tammany Hall while governor OF the
state, and repeatedly challenged the
strongest elements. Of his party "nlle
president. Threats of defeat or re,
taliation never moved him. II ne mad
once made up his mind and believed
he was right, no suggestions OF ex-
pediency or OF popularity had any IN
fluence on him.
In personal intercourse he, made
friends and had great charm: Inc
campaign against him when ne ran
for governor of New York was ruth
lessly conducted. / considered the
actions of his enemies as unfair and
that they would react in the canvass.
/ studiously discredited them IN my

FOCH, THE SURVIVOR OF
$50 BANQUETS

The learned and epigrammatic gen
tleman who said that Americans dig
their graves with their teeth was
referring, among other things, to the
American banqueting habit. 1t has
been our peculiar custom since the
first Thanksgiving to honor those
whom we loved with huge feasts, with
the result that many of our foremost
citizens have been prematurely retlr-
ed from active life to end their days
in lumbago, govt, and bad temper.
Marshal Foch, recently touring the
country as the guest of the American
Legion, has been the honored guest at
$50 of these functions without i'm
pairment to either his temper or diges-
ton. To keep up with the many de-
mands he sometimes has to take in
three or four Of these events in one
day.
Hanford MacNider, commander of
the American Legion, who has ac-
companied him to most of these af-
fairs has discovered the secret Of the
marshal's endurance. 1t is tenn
perance.
"The marshal does not drink any
thing on these festive occasions and
he eats sparingly,' said Colonel Mac
Nider. "Often he passes course after
course without touching thing. His
greatest relief is when the table is
cleared and the coffee is served. Then
he can smoke cigar-or his beloved
pipe if there are no ladies present.
"He said to me at one banquet:
After all, coffee and a smoke
are the best part of good meal
Food simply is prelude 20 these.

PINNELLAs SPECIAL TO USE OLD
ROUTE

The Atlantic Coast Line has inform
ed civic organizations of Gainesville,

midwinter flyer between Jacksonville

stead of Newberry and Dunnellon this

petition, since the Newberry-D -Dunnellon
route is twenty-one miles shorter
and the track adapted to fast
schedules, they cannot see their way
clear to re-route it.
One feature regarded as an almost
insurmountable obstacle to the oper-
alton of the train via Gainesville,
Ocala and Leesburg, is the lack of
sufficient pass tracks, the three cities
were informed The line between
Gainesville and Leesburg, because of
the territory it serves, accommodates
numerous freight and passenger trains
each day, officials here say, and TO
attempt to operate a very fast train
over the division with an insufficient
number of pass tracks would result
in daily general disarrangement of
schedules and the special itself would
be delayed to such an extent as to
almost completely nullify the object
Tor which the train was established,

and st. Petersburg.
The officials pointed out that Gaines
Vile now is served by four passenger

rangement may be ultimately put into

While Ocala did not win the game
they had the satisfaction of seeing

sent to the showers ID the eighth
after OcaIa had scored four runs off
of him and they hit him hard from
the beginning of the game until he
was taken out and had not his players
behind him played a jam UP game,
more runs would have been made
from his delivery.
Ocala scored her first run in the
second inning and increased it to
three in the seventh and five in the
eighth and with this laed it looked
impossible to lose but as stated be-
fore the six runs counted against us
in the ninth stole a victory from US.
Both Liddell and Clements put the
ball on top of the school house, Lid
dell doing the stunt twice and for
Leesburg, Black put one on top and
Lightfoot not to be out done by either
side put one clean over the house for
a home run and won the game.

there was no need of a catcher for

as easy as it was for Ocala to- put
them out in the eight previous innings
and without a single out they had
scored six runs and the game was
over.
Never has there been a ball game
