aye in my life's gladdening Florida.
In Tampa on Twigg street, l met
my boyhood friend, Wallace Stovall,
and as has been his lifelong custom,
he was escorting a dainty bright,
June-sky-eyed, fiuffy-ruffles maid.
Wallace was looking "toppy," and
glad to see me, and with gracefully
gracious goodness he presented me to
his sweetheart saying, Susie, shake
hands with Colonel Vogt, one of
daddys old friends" and right there
and then, on the corner OF Franklin
and Twiggs, | kissed her dainty
hand, and loved her, and will con-
tinue to for millions of centuries to
come, and my soul will be the better
for 1t.
When | got home and met my own
longtime, lifetime sweetheart,
said to her, ''Darlie, got me another
new sweetheart in Tampa today.
She said, Il am so glad, whose child
was it," And | said, 1T is Wallace
Stovall's baby girl Susan" and l
said, she is an angel without wings,
and / hope she will continue Just
that for many years yet"
And now for my Franklin and
lack and Twiggs and Fortune street
corner notes and finis. The weasels,
the wolves, the lynx and the lions
they do group on those corners to
count and to comment on Vanity
Fair and to study infantile bovinity.
At p m. we caught the jitney
for home. On it was one brother
! Childs,. the elder, and a charming
Lakeland matron We know. Immed-
lately in our rear seat there was a
doctor, once with the Rough Rid
ers,' and a couple from Chicago,
who, after looking all over peninsu-
! lar Florida had, because of the splen-
did hard road, bought and made a
palatial home at Seffner. These gra-
cious, educated refined and Travelled
people, free from foible and folly
with abundant money, live here the
year round. Again l was glad to be
alive, and on that jitney, for it was
like unto a ships company-every-
one was glad to be there. When they
began to get out at their homes,
thought of ships that pass in the
night" and of the souls king Of rea
men and women, and | wished again
in my heart that everybody in Lake
land might go on these companion
able morning and evening Lakeland
to-Tampa rides for the sake of theil
humanizing influences, and in m!
soul again commiserated that weas
ened, selfishly wasted razor-backet
things that ought and might hav
been souls but for their foolhard,
, "holier than thou" pretense, as the.
dashed past, many OF them scornful
ly In the makers -installment-plal
cars they occupied. And that world
ly-wise, Rough Rider doctor said
"There'l be a hot time in their HON
town when the installment come
. due. "
Q Then II our jitney falls down,

A certain engineer up in Chatta-
nooga is trying to injure the bond
proposition by having printed volum-
inous correspondence intended to
fool the voter into the belief that
the engineering contract, the mater
ial, the estimates, and everything
else connected with the proposition
is all wrong. OF course, this engi-
neer is actuated by motives only of
purest patriotism and philanthrophy.
The fact that he was a rival bidder,
and that he was turned down by the
County Commissioners because his
bid was higher than the one accepted
and his services less desirable has
nothing to do with his present activ-
tiles. Oh, no!

There was a time when George B.
Cox, of Cincinnati, was the most
abused man in Ohio. When he died,
the other day, however, there was
one of the most general expressions
of grief and respect ever accorded to
a public man. 1t is a pity that Of
ten men must die before their good
points are generally appreciated,
but it is usually thus with those who
are the doors in any community.
There are men in Lakeland today
who are constantly the targets of ad-
verse criticism, but who are the real
forces that are pushing the city on
ward to prosperity and greatness,
People who do nothing escape blame
for things that are done. Nonenti-
ties seldom suffer from abuse or crit
icism. "The most clubs are found
under the best apple trees.

A political advertisement in the

Ten cents week supports a war
baby and $27,593 year is the cost
of keeping up the John Jacob Astor
kid. This is the kind of thing that
makes Socialists and anarchists. And
yet, there are two ways of looking at
the matter. If they only spent ten
cents week on young Jakey and
buried or banked the balance, such
parsimony would certainly be less
beneficial to society than the lavish
expenditure which scatters money
broadcast and gives everybody a
chance to get a piece of it.
