THE BA THING BEA CHI

The bathing beach is public resort
where the populace is allowed to con
gregate and pose. 1t is also allowed to
expose to a certain extent, some of
these exposures having a time fuse at
tachment.
The bathing beach is modern inno-
walton, and was Invented for the pur-
pose of doing away entirely with the
bath tub. In the old days it was the
custom TO keep a bath tub in every
home where refinement and culture
dwelt, and force the maze members of
the family to frequent the same on ev-
cry recurring Saturday night, rain or
shine. This was one of the most cruel
edicts ever promulgated and enforced
by woman, and caused more bitterness
to arise in the home than an alterca-
tion over a just division Of the white
meat. But nowadays the bath tub Is as
much out of date as the family photo
graph album on the center table, and
everybody troops to the bathing beach
in as few clothes as possible.
The purpose of the bathing beach, as
at present conducted in our larger cen
tiers. is to show how low the human
form has fallen since the days of the
ancient Greeks. Nobody with a sincere
mind and pair of opera glasses can go

HON. /. ]. DRlNE TALKS
TO SCHOOL ON THE
SUCCESSFUL MAN,

Hon. H. j. Drane made a most in
spiring talk to the pupils of the
Lake Wire school this morning and
il gives us pleasure to reproduce his
remarks. his subject being "The
Successful Man."
What constitutes successful man?
Some time ago, in passing along a
nuh,ic highway in city which shall
he nameless, my friend remarked to
me as we passed citizen, Il envy
that man. "Why?" l inquired.
because he is very rich" WELL" l
retorted, II am very sorry for him.
He has my most profound sympathy.
He has not education, or refinement
or conversation or manners. He reads
but without discrimination, and
therefore with neither pleasure nor
profit. He might travel, but as he
knows not the history of mankind,
knows not mans great achievements
and has no proper conception of
form and color, and music and art,
he would wander about almost as
aimlessly as one of the lower ami
mas. He has nothing but money, and,
according to my standard is there
fore poor indeed"
And so il is, my young friends, TO
be rich, to enjoy life, to attain TO
the highest standard of happiness
and content which God designed for
his creatures. to be successful in the
sense worth while, the greatest prep
aration is a cultivation of the mind

FIVE YEARS OLD

With this issue The Lakeland Even
ing Telegram completes it's fifth year
of existence.
Five years ago-on November 1st,
1911.-against the advice of our best
friends, and in the face of predictions
of failure, we issued the first number
of The Lakeland Evening Telegram.
At that time Lakeland had only about
1000 people, and to launch a daily
paper in a town of that size was gen.
orally looked upon as venture OF
doubtful wisdom But we got away
with it, Printing it for time at a
financial loss, we made up for the de-
felt by reaching out and drawing bus
mess from elsewhere, thus enabling
us to give the city of Lakeland news
paper service unsurpassed by that OF
any city of its size in the country. AS
the city grew the paper has prospered
moderately, until it is now recognized
as one of the fixed institutions of the
community, as firmly established as
the Rock of Gibraltar, and entirely
impervious to any puny attempt tt
move it from its impregnable position
We are naturally proud of the sue
cess we have achieved; of the fac
that there is not a more complete o.
modern printing plant than that o

ida. outside of Tampa; that this plant
is housed in the handsomest building
occupied by a newspaper in the State;
that the paper at home and abroad is
a recognized and unquestioned sue
cess. We are prouder yet of the fact
that it has the confidence and good
will of the good people of this COM
munity; that it is recognized as the
exponent of the best sentiment of the
community; that it has had it's share
in contributing not alone to the ma
terial prosperity but also to the moral
atmosphere of it's environment; that
at all times it has stood for the things
that are clean, and true, and of good
report.
1t does not claim that it has built
Lakeland 1t does claim that it has
done it's bit. And it's work has al
ways been constructive. 1t has never
been hostile to any legitimate inter-
est. It has never knocked" any mer-
itorious proposition. 1t has never un-
justly assaulted any mans character.
It has never sought to tear down, for
the sake of any pickings it might find
in the ruins. It has been builder;
all it's efforts have tended towards
building. How much or how we'll 1t
has builded, it is for the public to
Judge. It's only claim is that constant
ly and consistently it has labored
along constructive lines.

fixture 1t will be here as long there

It's friends know this; it's enemies
might as we'll recognize it. 1t will go
on, as in the past, doing it's duty as
it sees it, without regard to favor, and
certainly without fear. 1t will strive

cate of the right, champion of jus
tice, am aid to progress. 1t enters

and solely a little matter of public
printing. The Commissioners several
years ago agreed to rotate the county
printing among the established, reput-
able papers of the county-those
which had earned it by years Of serv-
ice and boosting to the county-not
the little fy-by-nights, which might be
started up for political purposes, but
the papers of proven worth to the
county. The editor of the Evening
Telegram spent eight years in the
county before he was favored with
this printing. That was five years
ago, and next year it is his turn
again. Mr.. Swindel was asked by a
party who had not been here more
than six weeks to set aside the ar
'rangement made years previous and
entirely satisfactory to all the papers,
and give the newcomer the prefer
ence over all the old, reliable papers
of the county. Naturally, he answ-
cred that he could not justly do this,
and from that moment he has been
the object of the abuse and defama-
ton of the disappointed pap-hunter.
1t was thought that If Swindel could
be defeated, the award of the public
printing could be secured. That is
every blessed thing there is to all this
persecution of Swindel OF course,
the defeat of Swindel would really not
affect the matter, as it was decided
years ago and the only way to get
this little plum is to go pleasantly to
work for six or eight years until the
pther papers of the county have had
their turn.

THREE IN FAMILY
 VICTIMS OF FLAMES
Mrs. Josephine Moros and To Little Daughters Burned to Death at
 Their Home

One of the most tragic accidents that ever took place in this city OC- cured Saturday evening at 6:30 o'clock when, following a kerosine oil explosion at their home on Connerton street. Mrs. Josephine Moros was so terribly burned that she died yester day at the local hospital and her two children, Stella, three years old, and Nellie, seventeen months old, were burned to death on the spot.

The funeral of the mother and her two little daugh- ters will be held tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock from St. Andrews church. Rev. Edward V. Grikis will officiate Heart cemetery.
 Mrs. Moros was preparing her hus- bands supper, and in order to make a quantity of kerosene into the stove. As she did so the oil exploded, the blazing liquid covering the unfortunate woman and her two little children who were by her side. Screaming with pain, Mrs Moros rush ed into the yard with her little ones, and Lieuten- ant Thomas Higgins of Engine com- pany No. 5, who was nearby, rushed to her aid, throwing his coat about her body to smother the flames. Lieuten- ant Higgins was burned in his brave attempt to save the woman's life. The children were so badly burned that they died in the yard where they fell, but Mrs. Moros survived until yester- day and asked that the last rites of the Catholic church be accorded her.
 Engine company No. 1 was called out to extinguish the flames in the house, but there was hardly any damage.

 With playmate, John Jaros, the Niksa boy came home from Sacred Heart church last evening and went at once into the cellar where the can- non was hidden. The cannon is about eight inches long and has a bore of almost an inch. The Niksa boys father dld not know he had the weapon and later told the police his son must have secured 1t somewhere in anticipation or the Fourth of July. The Jaros boy said that the cannon was fully loaded but the fuse hole was plugged up.
 Placing the muzzle of the cannon against his body, the little Niksa boy tried to clean out the fuse hole with a nail It is thought that he nail must have struck spark against the steel and ignited the powder There was a terrific explosion and the boy was hurled across the room with a terrible wound in his side. His father was away but his mother rushed into the cellar and found him lying in pool of blood.
