A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year.
BY JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS
First printing of original poem, written daily

THE LINING.

Better than silver lines the cloud:
Better than gold or jewels proud
Back of the drifts that lower above
Lies an exhaustless wealth of love
Fairer than cleaning metals bright
The Cody gift of Immortal Light.

A GOOD MILITARY COMPANY
A FINE ADVERTISEMENT

C. G. Cantrel writes for the Perry
Herald the following argument for the
military company of his town. The
Star reprints it in full, because it ap-
plies to Ocala as well as it does TO
Perry, and may open the eyes of some
of our business men who oppose
rather than support our home COM
pany:
The railroad car in which your
company goes to camp each year car
ries a cloth runner bearing your name
on each side of the car; everybody on
the road sees it and it is for ten days
standing by brick road that runs
from Jacksonville to our camp ground.
Thousands of visitors see the en-
camped troops each summer. Your
company rife team goes each year to
the state camping ground for the
state shoot, and this fall the national
shoot will be held there, too, and
some one of our sharp-shooters should
compete for the prize; there will be

At the next session of the legisla-

viding that cities may change their

to the legislature. This bill has SO
many good points in its favor that we
fail to see how any member of the
legislature can vote against it.-Fort

The people of a town generally
know better what they want than the
legislature does. The power OF
changing charters has generally beer
reserved to legislatures in the Soutf
because in every state there are some
cities with large preponderance o.
negro population. This consideration

FORT MYERS TO
BE A GREAT CITY

Col. Henry Watterson, who has
been spending some time at Fort My
ers, where with Mrs. Watterson he
spends part Of each winter, has the
following to say, in an issue last
week, of the Fort Myers Press, Of the
future of that growing South Florida
city:
"It has long been my conviction,
that the West Coast, due to its far
/ superior natural advantages in unlim-
tied wealth of fertile soil, deep water
harbors, and natural tropical beau
ty, would ultimately see a develop
ment, brought about through the
agency of many financial channels, far
superior to that of any portion OF
the wonderful state of Florida. 1t is
but natural that the millions spent II
the past in development in other anc
older sections of the state should re
suit in those sections holding for th'
present the lead, due to the expendi
ture of these vast sums, but ! predict
and the time is rapidly approaching
that the West Coast, most particular
ly Lee county and that portion i'm
mediately adjacent will through shee
merit alone, rank as the true garde
spot in wonderful tropic South Flor
da, with Fort Myers leading in popu
lation and wealth over any city in tn
! state with the probable exception c
Jacksonville and Tampa.
81 know of but one other city
Florida that has kept pace with Fol
Myers during the past five years
: proportion to population, in growt
: and development, and with the COZ
I struction of railroad connecting Foi
i Myers with the East Coast-a matt'
Q of but a short time, with the prob;
bic construction of ship canal col
e Meeting the West Coast with the Eas

When the war began, it is reported
that Austrians who invaded Serbia
carried small doses of deadly poison,
to take in case they were made pris-
oners. This was because of the repu-
tation the Serbs had for maltreating
their prisoners. A Red Cross delega-
ton that has just gone to Serbia finds
so 900 Austrian prisoners in that
country. Most of them are out on
parole, and are kindly treated by the
people.

ONLY A DAD

Only dad, with tired face
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the
game,
But glad in his heart that his own
rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only a dad, of brood of four,
One of ten million men or more,
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorns of life
With never a whimper of pain or hate
For the same of those who at home
await.
Only a dad, neither rich nor proud.
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving, from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way;
Silent, whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love OF
them.
Only a dad, but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children
small,
| Doing, with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him
This is the line that for him | pen,
Only a dad, but the best of men.

MRS. NATHAN RosENBAUM

Mr.. Marcus Frank received a tele-
gram yesterday morning, from New
port News, Va, giving the sad news
of the death of his youngest sister,
Mrs. Nathan Rosenbaum, formerly
Miss Nellie Frank. The telegram gave
no particulars and did not state when
she died. It was great shock to Mr..
Frank, as he did not know that she
had been i'll.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank left on the
limited Sunday for Savannah, where
they left their two children with Mrs.
Franks parents and went on to New
port News to attend the funeral,
which will be held tomorrow morn
ing.
Mrs. Rosenbaum resided in Ocala
for a number of years when young
girl and there are great many peo-
pie here who will remember her ar1c
mourn her early death. She had beer
married little over three years anc
leaves a little son about two years o.
age. Her mother, Mrs. M. Handles
man, resides in Salisbury, N. c.
Mr.. Asher Frank of Tampa, came
up yesterday afternoon on the limited
and went on with his brother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank have wide
circle of friends in Ocala who vii
sincerely grieve with them in the sud
! den loss of his sister.

custom on Saturday, to the golf links.

Telegrams from friends and relatives
of passengers on the Lusitania began
arriving at the White House early in
the morning. They were Immediately
referred to the State Department.
There was every indication at the
White House that while President Will.
son was deeply shocked at the loss of
American lives, he was determined to
await developments before determining
on course of action of the United
States officials reiterated that he would
take no steps until all available infor.
nation had been gained.
While an air of gravity pervaded
the White House, officials went about
making arrangements to receive direct
all messages being sent to the State
Department and keeping the President
in close touch with all branches of the
government.
The chief concern of administration
officials was what the state of public
opinion might be when details begin
to come in.
Ambassador Page, at London, ad
vlsed the State Department that he has
instructed the consul at Queenstown to
care for the survivors and to furnish
money where it is needed. Two Ameri-
can army officers have been sent to
assist. His message said:
Il have instructed our consul at
Queenstown to care for bodies of dead
and to give all help to sick, to aid the
survivors who lost all cash, and | have
sent two army officers, Captain Miller
and Captain Castle. -
