When war was declared against
Germany, Lieut.-Col. Nash, altho en
titled by his age to remain at home,
offered his services to the government
in any capacity he could be used. He
has been notified that he will be need
ed in the United States guard, and he
is to report for examination at Fort
Screven next month. Lieut--CoL Nash
is a national guardsman of long ex
perience; he will make an. excellent
officer in the guard, and if the neces
sity arose could do good work in re
pelling a foreign enemy. The United
States guard is to be made up of men
over and under the draft age :all
volunteers, and it will be their duty
to guard roads, bridges, ; munition
plants, etc. and repress domestic dis
orders, in order to release men of
draft age for foreign service. It will
be a most necessary and honorable
work, and Col. Nash's friends know
he is one of the best men in the Unit
ed States to hold a command in that
service.
Judge Wm. M. Gober of Ocala will
leave that city Wednesday for Lake

here to make this their permanent

known lawyers in Florida, and will be
a decided asset to the city, and his
charming family will be cordially
welcomed to its social circles. Judge
Gober will be connected with the law
firm -of Wilson & Boswell, and will be
in charge of their office in the Dyches
building. Lakeland Telegram.
The Star commends Judge Gober to
the people of Lakeland. The judge
has dwelt in Marion county over a
dozen years and has proven himself a
good lawyer and a good citizen, and
he and his family are good neighbors.

cited at the meeting of the class on
Sunday. Last week, the boys in this
sweet young lady's class, instead of
studying, put in their time swimming
in Silver Springs, so when Sunday
dawned they had no verses. When
Sunday school assembled and their
fair young teacher called them to
book, the first youth required to dis
play his knowledge of scripture re
sponded with "And Jesus wept." This
was concentrated but correct, so he
got by with it. The second blushed,
scratched his head and then stammer
ed, "Jesus wept again." Before his
surprised, teacher could collect . her
faculties enough to reprove him, the
third braced .up and -chimed in with,
,"And Jesus wept some more." Horri
fied, the charming young preceptress
told that class what she thought of its
members, and we guess swimming
lessons will be subservient to scrip
ture lessons this week.

An enthusiastic scholar who desires
to retain the study, of German in our
public schools suggests that the text
books, which are suspected of con
taining a subtle pro-Teuton propa
ganda, be made over by competent
American scholars. Seems to the Star
like this would he moie trouble than
it would be worth.

A party of our citizens who went
to the gulf last Sunday may have
disregarded their Sunday school les
sons but they have not escaped the
thirteen superstition. They fished all
day and when they counted up found
they had just thirteen specimens of
the finny tribe. In order to avoid bad
luck they, cast one fish back into the
water, not, however before one of the
party had lost his rod and line.
: Mr. B, R. Blitch, who was in town
Sunday, had just heard from his two
boys, both of whom are in Uncle
Sam's service. The elder, B. R. Blitch
Jr., better known to his many Ocala
friends as Roland, is in a cavalry reg
iment on the Mexican border, and the
younger, Fenton, in the navy, has just
returned froni a trip across the pond.
Ernest Amos, state controller, was
in town yesterday, and paid a visit to
the industrial school, where he found
teachers and pupils healthy, happy
and doing good work.
The commercial spirit of the times
was given in a remark by a grocer a
few days ago. On his telling a cus
tomer that the price of an article was
15 cents, he was asked the once fa
miliar question, "Two for a quarter?"
He shook his head and replied, "We
have forgotten how to sell at two for
a quarter."
The picture, "The Secret Game," at
the Temple yesterday, was very in

make our people out to be. They are
always as clay in the hands of , the
potter and all that saves America is
some lucky fluke on the part of the
villains. The Pathe News will be in

INDIAN WORKED WITH BRAIN
Buck's Ingenious Explanation for Not
Aiding Squaw. to Carry Their
Domestic Burden.
A group of people who were touring
Alaska one summer were disgusted at
the laziness of the buck Indians they
saw in the villages and along the trail.
One day when they were , taking a
side trip they came upon a couple of
Indians who were evidently packing
into the mountains to . stay a while.
The scjuaw was staggering under a
tremendous burden. She lugged all of
the bedding and provisions, and a pa
poose for good measure. The old buck
was slumping along lazily ahead of
her, smoking his pipe and looking
down at the trail. -
One member of the tourist party
hailed the Indians and when they stop
ped he inquired, somewhat out of pa
tience: "See here, buck,-how comes it that
Nikawana is carrying all of the bag
gage and you are slouching along, en
joying your pipe? Why don't; you
take at least half of the load off your
squaw, you big lazy Indian?"
The buck stood silent as a sphinx
for a few moments, then grunted to
himself 1 and, pointing his index finger
to his forehead, he exclaimed In deep,
guttural tones : '
"Hub, me all time think r

Ranking below these operators In

make Mm as a straight man of af

All these performers, ; refusing to
work honestly fos' sure and sufficient
compensation, work much harder for
the uncertain returns and ever-present
perils of crookedness. They make
manifest a curious paradox of crime.
They are not explained wholly by the
ories of a stunted spirit of adventure
and a highly temperamental love for
the ri3ks of the game. Perhaps the
law, to meet them effectively, should
hold them to punitive - account in
measures proportioned less to arbi
trary degrees of crime than to proved
wastes of natural gifts.
Do Men or Women Dream Most?
A question often asked Is, "Who
dream most, men or women?" Accord
ing to Heerwagn's statistics "Wom
en sleep more lightly and dream more
often than men; , the frequency of
f reams is proportional to their vivid
ness; women who dream sleep longer
than those who do not; twice as many
women as men dream."
Another mooted point is, "Has age
fot any bearing on dreams?" In nor
mal individuals above the age of sixty-five
De Sanctis found that dreams
were rare; atmospheric influences

ing them ; memory of them is weak ;

And as the bridal cortege wends It3
way down the aisle the church shakes
to the thundering forth of that popu
