Speed of the Street Song.

One of the curious things about the popular song is the rapidity of it's dis
 semina ton among the street children. Few of them, can hear it at first hand at the music halls, yet long before the latest catchy tune has found it's way to the barrel organs oNSunday newspaper you will hear it rendered with amazing accuracy by tiny boys and girls. It seems to travel like rumor through an East Indian bazar.-LoudOn Standard.

THE TRAGEDY OF BELGIUM
CNew York yyorldl


 Smaller than Maryland, but with a population nearing S,OOO,0O6, Bel- gium was the most densely peopled country in the world. Centuries Of thrift had made it's soil an uncom- parable garden; it's huge industries exuslcd great imports Of food. Ant werp stood, perhaps, second to New
 York in the bulk of it's commerce. Generations oI skilled architects
 had enriched the doomed land with cities whose beauty was-the despair of emulation. To call the roll Of towns like Brugcs, Yprcs, LouyaiA, Gheut, Courtrai is to bring Up wis ions of pictured beauty familiar to the world. To call another roll bcgI-- ming with Waterloo and Oudonarde is to name Be1gium as the cockpit Of past wars; but to give Europe ,he buffer state of peace, its ueu- traIily for the future was guarantee by treaty. Having little faith in false oaths of Emperors, the Belgi1ns taxed industry to sustain an army of a quarter Of million soldiers Jud reserves.
 That WAS Belgium. Today 1t is ruin. German arms have crushed a resistance which German diplomacy admits was .lcgitimate," and mil .j-ary governors pay" for food and supplies with contributions wrung rom descus Jess cities. Belgian cap itmisJs are held for ransoms ol millions. Many priests are hostages ether clergymeu are lying with the lead Peasants from about Lioge are driven like slaves to Gepmaay to help harvest the eucmy's crops. Civic life has ceased.
 Tho cOnqucrors are wasting the garuered wealth of ages. Tho Nal ines cathedral is in ruins, and only 200 of the CO.00O inhabitants are reported to be left in the battered city. Louvltu, with is beautiful old City Hall, it's priceless library, it's splendid churches, it's CIoJhwork- CTS Hall, ballowed by coo years of admiration, G2s been utterly destroy ed and many of it's citizens murder cd becausc-though this they deny some of them tried to defend t1eI homes against the invader.
 Defending their homes is the capital offcuso which poor men can commit. There is no trial; the word Of a commander is sufficient; q rattle of rifles and a gray-hairod peasant falls bleeding upon Jhe ashes of his rooftree. In one yil- Iage of 800 houses a score only have been left standing, In others the invaders rifle the cash box, sloos a peasant or two and pass on' Crowding the roads to France, to Uollaud-n9w one vast hospital to Antwerp, there crawIs a pitiiuI procession of wounded non-comba- tants. famished women, grand mothers wheeling babies in hand carts. Beside the roads these stag- gIers lie where they have fallen dy- ing from hunger and exhaustion.
 Even in their last resort the fuS- itives may not be safe. Without no- tice and in defiance of the laws of war. the. latest beneficent invention 1 of man, turned to manslaughter use, swooD over Antwerp by night and . blow sleeping women limb from limb in their beds, miles away from the prudently avoided forts.
 Future ages will dilato upon the heroism of Belgium in this year of anguish. Today the world surveys the tragedy of BeIgium-the >saddest tragedy that has befallen the Low Countries since the days of the Duke e Ava.

Weather Station
To Be Located
In Lakeland

At the meeting Of the Governors
of the Board of Trade last night one
of the most important matters dis
posed of was the making of arrange
ments for the installation of an Of
fetal weather bureau station in
Lakeland. Secretary Holworthy has
been at work on this proposition for
some time, and has finally succeeded
in getting all the details provided
for. and will undertake to finance
the matter through public subscrip-
tions, only about $40 being required
for the instruments, etc, which can
be easily raised by each public
spirited citizen contributing a
itrife. The cost of maintenance is
very small, and will be betrayed by
the Board of Trade.
The installation of this station is
matter of considerable importance.
as it will put Lakeland on the
weather map, and give her an in
dividual reading. Heretofore Off
cial reports of Lakeland weather
have had to be based on Tampa's
figures, and there is considerable
difference at all times between the
weather conditions in the two cities,
decidedly in Lakeland's favor.

Military Company
May Organize
Monday Night

The committees that have in
charge the work of getting recruits
Tor the local company of militia that
is being organized here report that
they are meeting with great success.
Almost the full number of men re-
quired have been recruited. The max-
hmum strength of company is q:
men so any men between the ages of
IL and 45 who wish to Join and
nave not handed in their names
should do so at once. Lakeland needs
u good military company here and
the same would be good advertise
ment for the city. Everything to
boost Lakeland is the slogan. .
There are several Spanish-Amer-
lean war veterans and other ex-ser
vice men here who have already en-
rolled, so it goes without saying
that the company should start off
well with the number of experienced
men that they will have. Some of
our best citizens have sisnified their
intentions of lending their time and
influence to the movement. There
Will be meeting at the city hall
Monday night at 1880 o'clock at
which time matters of Importance
Will be taken up. All those that are
interested or wish to enroll their
names should be at this meeting.
