"POLITICS is mixed a trifle; There is something in the air. No one knows where we are going; But it seems to be somewhere. Some insist we are advancing. Others see the course downhill, But from each is the conclusion That we are not standing still. There are busy social forces That are pushing at the cart. Giving it in some direction. Up or down, a mighty start. If we look upon the movement As the right one or the wrong, That makes very little difference. We have got to go along. So you see the people trying On the future light to shed. Is It chaos, is it progress. That is looming just ahead? They can see a change is coming By the lightning through express, But its kind or size or measureThat ts more than they can guess. Calm your fears and cease your worry. Things may look a trifle blue. Clouds may lack their silver lining, But the country will pull through. While we know that we are drifting, Where is quite beyond our ken, But we've stormed some nasty weather,. And we'll do it once again. So Similar Perhaps. "Some of our greatest statesmen raldn't be president" "Who, for instance?* "Henry Clay for one." "What was the reason Clay's name as mud?" A Good Suggestion. "Say." "Yes." "What would you suggest as being ie first requisite to success in the licken business?" "I think a man would better acquire rich wife and while he is about it a ealthy father-in-law." Good Suggestion. "He has an uneasy conscience." "And you say he is hard up?" "Yes." "Why doesn't he hire his conscience it as a burglar alarm and make lough so he won't need to work?" Her Curiosity. "She always asks her husband to ait a minute." "To powder her nose?" "No; to see if he will wait." On the Chain Gang. "What's Bill been doing?" "Painting the town." "Where is he now?" "Paying for the paint" One Way of Looking at It. "Why do you appear so happy?" "I have just been disappointed in ve." . ' Fall Variety. Yes, summer, winter, spring or fall Or anything you care to say? The weather man supplies them all, And often in a single day. PERT PARAGRAPHS.. A blooming idiot is often plucked een. Because a man belongs to a good tvernment league is no sign that he iys auy more taxes than the inquisitor impels him to pay.

The wise woman knows that it Is atter when she is selecting a gown lat her husband should co-operate ith her only as far as signing the ieck. Lots of women act like cowards bemse they think it is mannish not to e afraid. A man can get more fun out of a dog ght than a woman can get cot of a argain sale in half a day.

Port Tampa City, Florida. To the Editor of The Dispatch, .A 8 The Dispatch has been coming to me regularly, I will send you a fe* items from the Land of Flowers. This is a pretty healthy place populated by good people from nearly every State in the Union. Aside froir growing Oranges and raising truck, but little farming is done here. This city affords a good market for everything. This :is principally a railroad town, being the terminal of the Atlantic Coast Line. The Standard Oil Company and the Gulf Refining Company operate plants here, and pay good wages. Land is pretty high, but there i e plenty to sell, and any one own their own home here if they do not live beyond their means. It is easier for me to live here than any place 1 have ever been. I am sending that dollar along to help the wheels turn. Mr. Editor, can't you come down and crn a-fiahinc? There are Dlentv of them here. With good luck to The Dispatch force and Its host of readers, I am an old subscriber, John F. Ohaney. Port Tampa City, Fla., Apr. 13. Columbia's New Bank.
