A winery was recently discovered
in the top of tall pine tree inside the
city limits of Clearwater. The winery
was operated by two small boys and
they had manufactured a drink that
would make a pop-eye.d mullet come
ashore to fight polecat, it was said
The boys had a movable ladder
which gave them access to. the lower
limbs of the tree ard from there they
initiated the squirrel. In the top of
the tree they had built room, well
hidden in the branches. A paddock
fastened the door to this acrow's
nest" When discovered the boys
agreed to. and did destroy their pro-
duct, to save themselves from being
hailed to court. While they were not
validating they were on the road that
leads to Clearwater Sun.
The boys had been taking lessons
from some of their law-breaking ED
ers.

SONG OF THE BOOB
(By S. E. Kiser)

10y >. Il. hlSer1
He buys a ticket to every fight,
But his manner is far from glad;
He was nicked for twenty the other
night,
On account of the cards he had,
It seems he drew pair of kings,
And caught one more of the precious
things
This is the doleful song he sings:
people, the times is badl"
He bets whenever the ponies run,
But his looks and his words are sad;
He had money-once-on a horse
that won,
Before he became dad;
He shoots the dice, but they will &c
wrong;
His purse is thin and his face is long;
Here are the words of his dismal
song:
people, the times is bad!"
His wife is worried and pale and limp
His children are poorly clad;
Call him a sucker, a boob, simp,
If you're anxious to make him mad
He never misses wrestling bout;
In the baseball season he's always out;
This is his song of despair and doubt;
people, the times is bad!"

BEREA vs.. UNION

The Berea Varsity played the first
game of the season with Union Col
lege, Monday, January 81. 1t was a
good, clean, fast game. Our boys
showed good team work, probably
having the edge on their opponents
in pass work. The short passes used
by Berea were much more certain
and harder to break up than the long
passes of the Union team. but Union
could shoot better, especially long
shots. They made most of their
baskets from near the center of the
floor. If our team will learn to shoot
better, they will have a good chance
Of winning the return game. To
show the weakness of Berea's shoot
ing, out Of eight attempts at fouls
three were shot. Out of three at
tempts on the part of Union all were
shot.

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF MONEY!

VYyHEN II comes to matter of
w money the oracles seem to dis
pute over filthy lucre" just as ordi-
nary mOrtals are apt to do. Some OF
them say that to dream of finding mon
ey Is bad sign, indicating losses
and dreaming of losing money Is q
good sign. indicating gain; probably
working on the dreams go by con-
traries" hypothesis. But the best and
most eminent authorities do not agree
to this. Some of them admit that to
dream of finding money signifies wor-
ries, but declare that out Of these tenn
porary worries great good will come
while others content themselves with
the statement that to dream OF finding
money is lucky. All agree that to
dream Of losing money is a sign of
good business, though one authority
darkly hints that you may have spat
with your wife-if you have one-after
such dream. AS to dreaming Of saw
Ing money. there are two schOols-the
ortlmists and the pessimists. The op-
timists declare that TO dream that you
are saving up money means that you
will have comfort and plenty, while
the pessimlsts think 1t portends losses.
The weight of opinion seems to be on
the side of the optimists. II you dream
that you are swallowing money look
out for yourself; for II you don't you
will become so penurious and money
grabbing that you will almost, II not
quite, commit fraud to get IT, So II
you get this warning loosen up the
purse-strings. II you dream of count
Ing money you are liable TO have a dis
pute over bill. In effect II seems
lucky to dream about money. but you
are warned not to be too much Of q
millionaire In your dreams. for II you
are too disgracefully rich In Dream
land your fortune will. be only moder-
ate in real life.

The Fame Of Leouidas


Most of the famous men of Greece
belonged to Athens or to some other
Greek city which lay in a plain close
to the shore and made It's living by
sea-trade. Leonidas, however, was
no Athenian and no Corinthian, but
mountain man from Sparta. With
q band Of mountain men, as bold and
as brave as himself, Lconidas showed
the rest of the Greeks how to do
their duty in the face Of the Persian
hordes. His supreme heroism was
recognized not only in his state of
Sparta but among all the other city
states Of Greece.
Spartan Training
Leonidas was a king of Sparta.
Now. Sparta lay back in the noun
tains far from the seashore and
locked in by a ring Of rough, wild
hills. The progressive, money-mak-
ing cities Of Greece lay close to the
sea, but Sparta desired neither to be-
come rich nor to be progressive. The
Spartans were a stern, conservative
people who chung most tenaciously to
their old ideals handed down from
the past. Their one great desire was
to excel as a race of soldiers. They
scorned trade, architecture, and poet
ry, Of which the other Greeks were
becoming so fond.
From childhood the Spartan boys
were trained to soldiery. They were
taken from their mothers at the early
age Of seven years, and from that
time on were brought up in barracks
like young soldiers. They slept on
hard beds of rushes, bathed in the
icy mountain streams, and ate the
plainest Of food, which was some
times so meager in amount that the
famished boys would slip away to
hunt in the mountains, not for sport,
but actually for meat to satisfy their
hunger. They wore the same gar
ment summer and winter, and ran
over the rocky hillsides barefooted
They were taught to be soldierly even
in their speech, which was terse,
brief, 1aconic'
Leonidas. although a king, had
been brought up according to this
stern Spartan discipline, and had
grown into a great soldier absolutely
devoted to the military ideals of
Sparta.
Leouidas Sent TO the Pass
When Xerxes, King Of the Per-
SLAMS, came with horde Of hundreds
Of thousands of men to conquer
Greece, the danger to Greece was ex-
IRENE. But the Greek city-states
seemed not fully to realize their
danger. for they continued in their old
jealousy Of one another, quarrelled
over where they should take their
stand against the Persians, and at
the very time when Xerxes was ap-
preaching, they delayed the sending
Of their troops because they were
celebrating the Olympic and other
games. In place Of sending their
army in full strength, they sent ahead
Leonidas, the Spartan King, with a
small forces to resist the Persian host
until the Greeks should see fit to send
on the main army. Leonidas realized
how desperate a task had been as

signed him. Besides the Few thou'
sand allies who accompanied him, he
took three hundred picked men from
Sparta, each of whom left a son be-
hind ain case.
Leonidas Against the Persians
Leonidas took up his position in
Central Greece to guard the Pass Of
Thermopylae. In this excellent po.
sition, defending a narrow roadway
between the steep mountain slope and
the sea-clifrs, he could use his scanty
forces to the best advantage and per-
haps hold out until requirements
should arrive.
After a little delay Xerxes threw
his troops into the narrow pass
against Leonidas and his bold Spar
tans. The Persian thousands seemed
to make no Roadway against the stub
born little, band. Then Xerxes sent
his picked troops, the "1mmortals,'
as they were called Even the I'm
mortals were no match for Leonidas
and his Spartan heroes. As Xerxes
saw his best troops fall under the
blows Of the Spartans, he thrice
leaped up from his throne in agony
for his troops.
Leonidas Attacked from the Rear
But upon the third day secret pass
around the mountain was revealed to
Xerxes. BY this pass he sent Per-
sian troops, who soon put to flight the
little Greek guard on the far side OF
the mountain and then begun to close
in upon Leonidas and his men from
the rear. News was brought TO Le-
onidas In time for him TO escape.
Most Of the allies preferred to with
draw and to save their dear lives.
Not so with Leonidas and his brave
Spartans. Leonidas knew Of a
prophecy given out by the Delph'c
Oracle that either Spartan king or
Sparta must fall before the Persian
hordes. His duty was clear. Be-
sides, he and his men had been
trained TO fight to the bitter end.
The allies might withdraw. but Spar
tans never.
The Last Stand
Then. having devoted themselves IN
duty and to death, they fought more
furiously than ever attacked both
from the front and from the rear.
When their spears were broken, they
fought with their swords, their fists
and their teeth. Leonidas fell, slain
in their midst, and the rest Of the
SPARTAN band fought on over his
dead body until not Spartan was
left to fight. Then the Persians
swept on VIGOROUSLY over their dead
bodies through the pass.
The Heroism Of Lecnidas
Leonidas and his brave men were
dead. But the Persians had learned
to their sorrow what manner OF
fighters the Spartans were. They
at the heroism Of Leoni-
das. All Greece rang with the praise
Of Leonidas. and his name has sound
ed down through all these ages be-
cause Of his bold deed. why7 Be-
cause in a supreme crisis. when, he.

safety, he stood true to his state and
his training, throwing his life away
as a trifie compared with these. II
is such devotion to a cause that makes
real heroism.
