LOVE UNDER DIFFICULTIES

/ met dear creature, it matters not
where,
And / met with fall too, in meeting
the fair;
For fell quite in love, but you
wouldn't blame me,
If this beautiful creature you only
could see.
sss
Her eyes were like stay, they be-
wildered, me quite,
No mortal could see them and criticise
right,
/ could only observe that their num-
Der was two
And their color about the most mis-
chievous blue.
Her mouth tmy own waters don't
ask me l pray,
Twas the sweetest of mouths and
that's all can say:
And the envious fellow who dares to
say mo"
If he had any taste, faith, he wouldn't
say so!
Her mouth, when she laughed, was
a caSket thrown wide,
With pearls cleaning white from pink
velvet within;
When she sang twas cage which to
shut were sin;
While her tongue, like a little bird,
warbled within.
Her hair, gathered up in net with
much care,
Peeped out from the bars of its prison
up there,
Ev'ry wave, ev'ry fold, seeming slyly
to say
Don't you think it's shame to con
fine me this way?
For lightness, her foot was like that of
a lamb,
For witness, her hands might have
been born off the palm;
And kind was the heart that went
| beating below,
To keep itself warm in her bosom OF
snow.
The next time met my dear charm.
er, thought |
| Ill disclose to her Father the truth
or / die,
Introduce me- | said--"to your wor-
thy old SIRE
She replied with surprise and a mix,
ture of glee,
THAT old gentleman there's my
husband" said she.

BOARD OF TRADE TO HOLD
IMPORTANT MEETING DECEMBER %

With the new year ahead and the
annual meeting Of january 18th. the
marion County Board Of Trade win
hold meeting of its members on
Thursday night, December 22nd, to
consider plans for the next twelve
months, to prepare a tentative pro-
gram Of work for this period and to
consider several amendments to the
constitution and bylaws Of the or.
ganization.
The Secretary of the Board of Trade
stated that the experience of COM
mercial organizations points to the
wisdom of adopting program of
work that is short and that contains
only items that are of Importance
and a practical nature. A long pro-
gram Of work which lists things that
are very much desired and admittedly
OF great Importance, but which can
not be carried out for one reason or
another, should not be adopted. says
the secretary. Such a program, he
says, would merely lead to expect
ing too much of the organization and
hence result in dissatisfaction and
encouragement. The program of
work, says the secretary, should be
flexible one, to allow for the newt
able contingencies that come up dur
ing the year.
Secretary Chazal submits the follow
ing list of needs of Ocala and Marion
county without regard to the relative
Importance of each:
More paved roads, including the inn
portant intercounty highways and a
broad boulevard to Silver Springs.
Planting of shade trees, palms,
shrubs and flowers along the high
ways and especially along the Silver
Springs boulevard
Permanent paving of every street
in Ocala
Tourist hotel with grounds and gar
dens.
Extension of the white Way thru
the remainder of the business sec
tion and the residential sections of
the city.
Improvement of the union station
approach.
Better marketing facilities for ag-
ricultural products of the county.

out his mothers instructions to the
letter. He did not leave the building
all afternoon. When Willie's mother
arrived home from her shopping tour
late in the day, however, she was sur
prised to find that her sons hair was
wet.
81 hope you didn't disobey me and
90 in the river again." said his
mother, .5
"Nope," Willie replied.
"Then how did you get your hair
wet?" his mother asked.

Now you will 60 to bed without any
supper"
IT didn't leave the building" Willie
insisted. .....,- g..
allow could you 60 swimming
