THE NEW HOME OF THE ELKS

Mr.. Emmett E. Robinson, acting
for the Ocala lodge of Elks, consum-
mated Wednesday afternoon the pur-
chase of the beautiful home of Mr..
and Mrs. J.. Carstens, on North Main
street, which will, on January 1st OF
next year, become the permanent
home of the order OF Elks of this
city.
For a number of years this was the
home of Mr.. E. w. Agnew, and was
regarded as one of the choice resi-
dences of the city, and the erection in
later years OF costly and impos-
ing structures has in no way dimin-
ished it's elegance. 1t is centrally To-
Gated, being directly opposite the fed
.eral building, and will make an ideal
home for this benevolent order.
The Elks will make considerable
expenditures for alterations, and
when this is done the lodge will be in
a position TO entertain its friends in a
most elegant and charming style.
In having a home Of its own it is
believed that it will increase its mem
bership, and make it enjoy a yet
greater popularity.
We congratulate the Ells upon their
fortunate purchase, and commend Mr..
Robinson on his successful efforts in
making the purchase possible.
The purchase Of this home for the
EIks means the purchase Of homes
for other orders. and soon we know
that we shall be able to congratulate
the Woman's Club in being housed in
an elegant home, all of which means
much for tie uplift Of our city.

COL. klNGMAN WILL SEE FLOR
IDA RIVERS

Various Florida waterways and the
state work on the Everglades will be
inspected this week by a committee
Of which Col. Dan c. Kingman, corps
of engineers. is chairman. Col. King
man will leave Savannah today for
Jacksonville. where he will be join
ed by Major Howell of Charleston
and Capt. Slattery of Jacksonville.
The party will go by boat down the
Kissimmee river to Lake Okeechobee,
and thence by a government canal to
the Atlantic and Fort Lauderdale.
They will then return to Lake Okee-
chObee, and cross over to the head of
the Caloosahatchee river. down that
stream to Fort Myers and then back
to Jacksonville.
Col. Kingman explained that the
government ~co-operates with the state
authorities in the work on the Ever
glades, in order to make sure that
prestnt drainage conditions are not
deraHged. The state authorities, for
example, recently proposed to lower
the level of Lake O~keechobee five
feet. The government requires that
they first build a ietty across the
mouth of the Kissimmee river to
prevent water from being drawn from
it too rapidly.-Savannah News.

THE MCINTOSH TRAGEDY

The double murder committed al
Mcintosh in the broad light Of day on
Wednesday, al the quiet noon hour,
aroused the feelings Of the |populace
more than anything that mas occurred
since the civil var.
1t was the act Of a tend in human
shape. Thwarted in his lustful pur-
pose the monster deliberately hacked
his young and innocent victim to
pieces. Her pleadings ana her pray
ers We're unayailing. She fought des-
perately and bravely. and il is some
consolation to know that she yielded
up her young life rather than her
honor. Great gashing wounds were
inflicted across her back, ugly cash
es were inflicted in her breast and
her throat was cut from ear to ear.
She fought the good fight and saved
the purity Of her womanhood, which
was more priceless TO her than life.
All honor to this brave, noble girl.
After viewing the lifeless remains
of his innocent victim the fiend then
laid wait for her aged grandfather,
remorselessly killed and robbed him
and then fled.
Many may condemn the manner Of
Priest Niles taking off" as it was
not done under the forms prescribed
by the statutes, but he had forfeited
his right to live, he had forfeited his
right to be classed among sentient,
human beings. and an indignant and
outraged community, under circum-
stances like this, have grown some
what Indifferent to the forms and
t~echnicalities in such cases made and
provided.
Those who took part in the murder
er's death were possessed of the sin
gle idea that the quickest route was
the best means to an end.
After all, law is but an expression
Of the viii of the people. and in this
case the verdict rendered was unani-
nous.
1t was not on account of his color,
but on account of his crime that Priest
Niles forfeited his life and merited
death.
Had he been a white man the same
course would have been pursued.

Thousands of people from many
parts of Ireland and other countries
went, a recent Sunday, on the an
nual pilgrimage to Croagh's Patrick,
the mountain to the south of Clew
Bay, which is associated with the life
of st. Patrick. 1t is the subject Of
a striking legend concerning the
saints banishing Of toads and adders
and other noxious creatures BY the
ringing Of his bell. The railway
company ran special excursion trains
for the pilgrims to Westport,

eight miles to the sacred noun

THINGS THAT ARE PRACTICAL
Matters Of Real Use That Are Being

A school instructing women in the
practical details Of everyday life has
just been established in London.
Students are taught how to~open a
window and put up a shade in a
railway carriage, how TO get off and
on street car, the proper method Of

fountain pen and trim lamp. Other
eOurses taught include opening pack
ing cases and tin cans, how to drive
nails, how . fold clothes, how to
pull corks, how to light fire and
the kind Of shoe to wear to conserve
health, and when to wear them. A
speciality is made of the feeding and

rails for clothing and the quantities
needed for a stated number of per-

ALWAYS WORTH THE LIVING

cheerfuInesa

Of course we have ali heard the
query, '1s life worth liying?"
Perhaps we've asked It of our
selves many times, in moments Of
Encouragement, when all things
seemed to be working for the darker
side, and the sunlight of hope was
for the time being obscured By heavy
clouds.
Many are the answers-in fact, al
humanitj from the very beginning
has been responding to the great
challenge-and we are today the liv-
ing opponents of the problem.
II my life, your life and the life
of our neighbor has been s1iyed" and
holds the power TO keep on doing 50,
then yes, a thousand times, our lives
are worth living
But If, for some or many reasons,
these lives have been spent in days
OF ldleness, or worse, the answer Is
to be found on the face Of the unde-
niable failures which are the out
come Of such waste.
People who are in earnest about
whatever they are engaged in doing
seldom have time to stop and ask
such questions; they are too busy
making their own and the lives Of
those with whom they are associated

and beautiful, seemingly surrounded
by their own narrowness OF mind
and smallness of soul.
