The politicians are trying to romp
on President Harding because he had
a number of the employees Of the gov
crnment printing Office discharged.
He said he did it to reduce expenses
and we daresay he told the truth. The
government printing office is lousy
with unnecessary employees, appoin:-
ed thru the influence of senators and
representatives. We have known men
who couldn't hold cases on a second
class paper given jobs in the govern
ment printing office because they had
friends with political pull. We SUP
pose the public printshop is pretty
well stocked up with unnecessary
democrats, and W. have no objection
to them being fired if they are not
replaced with unnecessary repubi
cans.

BOYS, READ THIS !

About twenty-seven years ago there
lived in Ocala a poor orphan boy
whom hard necessity forced TO unre-
hitting toll. All games, sports and
amusements were denied 70 him whose
meager earnings were hardly sutf-
cient to supply his daily needs Tor
food and raiment. He was blessed
with a vigorous mind and body and
fixed determination to surmouat
through Individual effort all obstacles
imposed upon him by poverty. Far
into the still watches Of the night h
pored over his books and rose with
cheerful heart to meet each busy day.
Now; more than quarter of a cen
fury has elapsed since the lure Of op-
portunity led him away from among
US, and few Of our people would greet
him today but as stranger in
strange land.
This boy is now one of the big men
in the second city of our nation, and
/ need hardly tell you is an orator Of
national reputation, for I take liberty
to quote to you a part Of his recent
letter to me, his almost forgotten
friend.
Boys, here are his words:
81 have been on a far quest since
my Ocala days. Alaska and the last
frontier in the widest days of the
Klondike gold rush; Russia. red with
the flaming fire of the most funda-
mental revolution of history, are the
mountain peaks of experience in 4
quarter of a century of action and en-
deavor that have carried me twice
around the world.
"From a job in Ocala, Florida, at
sweeping a store and weighing nails
at SO per week. to making terms with
Nikolai Lenine for the allied nationals
in Russia in the high court Of the
czars in Kremlin Of the holy city ~
Moscow is far cry.
"Perhaps the most extraordinary
facts of my personal experience are
that l should have known intimately
Theodore Roosevelt and Nicolai Le-
nine. They are the two most vital
personalities that I have known.
Each in his own way dominated his
own land and forced his personality
upon the consciousness of. mankind
around the globe. It would not sur
prise me if Lenine should live through
more centuries in. the historic thought
of humanity in civilizations yet I'M
born, than the man who built the
Panama canal.
zone of the ironies of history IS
that the great destroyers have many
times ranked above the great builders
in making an impress upon the per-
manent thought of the race. Lucifer
is remembered when the better angels
are forgot. Who remembers the builder
of the temple of Ephesus? But many
can tell the name of him who fired
the Epesian dome"
Boys, be not discouraged, for The
door of opportunity is before each Of
you; and, you, by honesty, toll and
thrift, may gain the key which I'M
locks it. The treasures hidden behind
that door are but reserved for those
who seek them.
Sincerely yours,
William Hooker.

last Wednesday, has been explained.
1t seems that Appleyard told the As

he was going to "throw his bomb"

the correspondent, not supposing that
Appleyard would fail to keep his

Lad shambled out Of the auberge,
caught and saddled a dreary animal,
mounted, and rode off in the direction
Of Nant.
Then Duchemin committed his sec
ond error Of Judgment, which consist
ed thinking to find better and cooler
air on the heights across the river.
Accordingly he crossed the Dourble,
reached the top in a bath Of sweat,
ad sat down TO cool and breathe him
self
The view was splendid, almost
worth the climb. Duchemin could see
for miles up and down the valley.
Across the way Duchemin identified
the figure Of the landlord, standing in
the door of the auberge with arms
raised and elbows thrust out on a
level with his eyes; the pose Of a man
using field glasses.
Having rested. he picked himself
UP, found his road. a mere trail of
wagon tracks, and mindful OF the
cooling drinks to be had In the Cafe
de TUnivers, put his best foot fore
most.
After a time something, call It In
stinct, impelled him to look back the
way he had come. Half a mile dis
tant he saw the figure Of peasant
following the same road. Duchemin
stopped andd waited for the other to
come up. But when he stopped the
man stopped. sat him down upon a
rock, filed a pipe, and conspicuous
| ly rested.
Duchemin gave an impatient ges-
ture and moved on. After another
mile he glanced overshoulder again
The same peasant occupied the same
relative distance from him.
In dusk OF evening he stumbled
down into the valley again and
struck the river road about midway
between the Chateau de Montalals
and Nant. At this junction several
dwellings clustered. Duchemln no
ticed a few shadowy shapes lettering
about, but was too far gone in fatigue
and thirst to pay them any heed. He
had no thought but to stop at the first
house and beg a cup Of water. AS he
lifted a hand to knuckle the door he
was attacked.
With no more warning than a cry,
the signal for the onslaught, and the
sudden scuhling noise OF several pair
Of feet, he wheeled, found himself al
ready closely pressed by a number OF
men, and struck out at random. His
stick landed on somebody's head with
a resounding thump followed by a yell
Of pain. Then three men were crap

way clutching a fractured skull and
splitting oaths and groans.
His stick was seized and wrenched
away, he was overwhelmed by num-
bers. The knot of struggling figures
toppled and went to the dust, Duche-
min underneath, so weighed down that
he could not for the moment move a
hand toward his pistol.
Half-stiffed by the reek Of I'M
washed flesh, he heard broken phrases
growled in voices hoarse with effort
and excitement:

Struggling madly, he worked a leg
free and kicked with all his might.

and fell back to nurse broken shin.
Two others scrambled out of the way,
leaving one to pin him down with
knees upon his chest, another to weld
the knife.
Staring eyes caught a warning

Nant, that night, food in plenty for
thought, together with a notion that
he had better resign himself to stop
