After finding the rifle the boys purchased some cartridges and started to play.
 Young OsNef1 took the gun and aimed it at his companions, but it failed to go. off. The other boys pro tested. Then he handed the gun to his cousin and said You ain't brave. Look at me. I dare you to shoot me. 9 He put his back against a. fence, say ing. I'm a German spy. I ainat afraid of you.''

PARK THEATRE
rHE GIRL OF MY DREAMS :

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS
 The Girl of My Dreams the pret- ty musical play which will be at the Park tonight is a. sweet and simple little love story full of the charm of love and of the glory which love throws over life. as the morning sun bathes the old earth with hope and joy. It is not profound. It is not a puzzle in plot and in ethics any more than the life of any of is a puzzle. It is as simple and plain and true as love. That in a musical comedy one should select a little bunch of pure sweetness for a heroine is no crime and that the city chap tired of bache1orhood should forswear it on her account is nothing to be won dered at as the play advances and un- folds. One is bound to admit at the final drop, that the girl of his dreams is Cor should be) in heart pretty much '"The Girl of My Dreams

His head was badly crush ed in and bloodstains were about the hall, where someone with bloodstain- ed fingers had groped about. A large pool of blood was upon the first land ing and the body had admittedly been ragged to the street by the woman whose bIoodstained garments were later found in drawers and chests Of the room. A badly dented straw-hat believed to be bloodstained was found hidden in the room.
 a < ters Mrs. Angle broke down complete ly and upon advice of her counsel re- fused to tell anything she knew of the case though pressed by Coroner John J. Phelan and the Stamford au- thorities to do so in an effort to clear herself At various times she as serted she wished to tell all she knew and that she would be exonerated On one occasion when about to tell the coroner her story she swooned in the 7rrr1 admitted to $5,ooo bail that she might rest at her fathers summer home In Maine.
 Under the direction of States Attor- ney Homer Cummings. the apartment has been sealed by the state.

 Senator Bankhead said that the Eu- ropean war has caused the United States much extra expense and that the River and Harbor appropriat tions should be confined to the old pro- jects.
 Senator Simmons said he did not think the European war should cause Congress to neglect home improve ments.
 President Wilson has not said he would be satisfied with a $15, 900, 900 bill. but Secretary Tumulty announced that some such figures would not be bad.

COAIMONER STANDS
BY HIS CHIEF

Just when the cackling over Mr..
Bryan's announcement of his sympa-
thy for the cause of woman s suffrage
had reached the point where it was
being explained as laying the ground
work for a movement to secure the
Democratic nomination for himself in
1916, the secretary of state remarks,
anent the ambitions of Colonel Roose-
welt, that THE ex-president may add
to the gaiety of the campaign, but he
will not weaken President Wilson s
strength with the masses.
Thus falls another of the insinua-
tions that, in constant stream, are
sent forth in the air IN the vain hope
of poisoning the reputation of the
Commoner with the people. Tt was
not fitting that Mr.. Bryan should
announce Mr.. Wilson's candidacy
for nomination for a second
term, but the expression hints strong
1y at his belief in and approval of
the fact-Co1umbia, S. c., State.
There isn't anything that would
please the enemies of Wilson and
Bryan any more than the treachery
of the one toward the other.

ST. PETE NOVELTY
WORKS ARE SOLID

The Roess Lumber Company and
its branches and allies seem to have
been in much better shape than firms
which fail generally are. The fol-
lowing from the st. Petersburg IN
dependent shows that it's close friend,
the st. Petersburg Novelty Works is
not crippled by the suspension of the
bigger company; which in the years
of its alliance with the Sunshine City
firm helped it add greatly to it's bus
mess:
That the failure of the Roess Lum-
Der Company, with which the st. Pc
tersburg Novelty Works is affiliated,
will not affect the local company, was
announced by J. S. Davis, attorney
for the latter concern, this morning.
Papers of Insolvency, asking for re-
ceivers to be appointed, are expected
to be filed IN Ocala, where the CEN
trail office is located, within the next
few days. Poor market and bad ac-
counts are assigned as reasons for
the failure.
The Roess Lumber Company is
one of the biggest concerns of its
kind in the state of Florida, being
one of the oldest also. 1t is capital
| lied at SIS 900 and operates mills,
kilns, brick yards and holds large
tracts of timber lands all over the
state. What settlement may be
made, and how accounts stand, are
unknown just now.
This is the first failure that has
occurred in big business in thi:
state since the present financia
crisis has been felt. Few people hat
any idea that this big concern wa:
on the verge of collapse. The offic
ers apparently preferred making al
! assignment to involuntary bank
; ruptcy.

student at every turn, when morals
are SO highly watched over, the ben
efits of the discipline and retired To-
cation of st. Leo's can not be over
estimated.
Even the careless student becomes
interested in his studies by the in
fiuence of his associates, and learns
to appreciate the advantages to be
derived from undivided attention to
his work. Surrounded by congenial
companions, who have but one OBJ
ject in view, by associations which
concur to fix his mind upon his
duties, he breathes for few years
an atmosphere of order and pleasant
companionship, which makes virtue
agreeable and tends to establish
habits that must exert salutary in
fuence upon his whole life.

fectually accomplishing much good,

WINTER HAVEN

A member of the Star staff paid a
visit to Winter Haven last week;
was only there for three days, but
each day was taken up in riding
around and viewing the wonderful
growth of that thriving section. Win
ter Haven is a beautiful little town
situated among thousands of acres
of orange trees, all of which are
laden with a heavy crop for the COM
ing season, as the drouth there was
not as prolonged as in other parts OF
the state. There are eighty lakes
within a radius of five miles around
| the town.
The handsome buildings under
construction show that the town i:

A SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
FOR BUSINESS MEN

The latest feature inaugurated in
the Methodist church is its business
mems class in the Sunday school.
This class was suggested about three
months ago by the pastor and several
OF the enthusiastic members of the
church Immediately went to work
upon the suggestion, with the result
that its membership has reached
nearly half hundred.
The school is at present crowded
for room for holding it's school SER
vices, though the entire building is
utilized, besides one large class of
young men holding it's lesson services
in tent on the lawn. This meant
that the business mems class had to
provide itself with quarters and a
metal 'lean-to" was erected by the
members on the west side of the
church. Here these "boys" congre-
gate each Sunday morning to study
the lessons to be learned from the
lives Of those who have gone before
and exchange ideas on the particular
part of the Bible from which the text
is taken each week.
These boys ages vary from twenty
FIVE to sixty years and Mr. Marion
Little, the teacher, seems to be at
the height of happiness when listen
ing to them "reciting" their views of
the lesson under discussion.
There has scarcely been a Sunday
passed since the organization of the
class that one or more new members
have not been added to the roll.
There are two factions in the class
and each is striving to outriva1 the
other in securing new members. Mr..
ID. w. Tompkins is president of the
organization and Mr. George l.. Tay-
! Tor secretary.
The leaders in this work hope to
reach the hundred membership mark
| by the late fall months. In enthus-
| iasm and real earnest work accom-
| pIishes things then the business
mems Sunday school class in the
Methodist church is bound to become
an object of immense size.

AN INVALUABLE ASSET

ANY person who does not believe
that the city of Ocala has an invalua-
BILE asset in its electric light and
power plant should read the follow
ing from the Times-Union, and re-
fleet that Ocala, in a smaller but
steadily increasing area OF activity,
has similar opportunity to make a
great public property Of its electric
pIant, and not only by providing its
own citizens with current, but by
selling it to all in the immediate
vicinity, is able to add most use
fu1 and substantial element to its
civic greatness.
