The city of Lakeland Is just now
filled with northern and eastern visi-
tors, prominent among whom are
many from New York and Massachus-
etts 1t will be interesting for them,
as well as for our own people, TO re-
call an early period in the Spanish
American war when two regiments,

chusetts we're encamped in this town
awaiting orders 10 move on to Tampa,
thence to embark for Cuba, where
they subsequently assisted in the cap
ture OF San Juan Hill and the city o
Santiago. The following is from thr
pen of Richard Harding Davis thsf
war correspondent of the New iCr
Herald:
While the Second Massachusetts
was in amp there was Il military
funeral under the pines Of Lakeland
when the body OF Weslie $. Brass. of
Company i, who died Of pneumonia
was sent North. His company was
detailed TO escort the body 10 the
train. but every other company in lhe
regiment volunteered to march benind

The State of Florida is rot very
far from the commonwealth of MaSSa-
chusettS when q boy is dying under a
tent, and woman stood outside the
little chapel crying because the Off
GERS would not allow her to take the
sick soldier to her own house She
was only one of many women, each
of whom came 10 the camp to ask if
she could not nurse the soldier. OF
bring him home with her so that she
might feel that she was doing some
thing for the cause so that his moth
er up in Massachusetts might feel
that some other mother had been with
him at the last. So the women OF
Lakeland had to content themselves
with robbing their own gardens and
the fields of flowers for his coffin, and

funeral
The chaplin held the services just
at sunset in the little Episcopal
church set in grove OF pines at the
edge of Lake Mirror. Beside the cof,
fin guard of honor had stood all day
in white gloves and frightened grass
and dustless blue. objects of smart
ness and cleanliness. As if theft
presence alone was not honor enough
for volunteer, came the colonel
with his staff. and the regimental
band followed up the hill. the drums
rolling heavily and the bugles breath

LIFE MEANS RouoHlNo 1T

Life Is not sailing under fair skies
and across tranquil seas, until you
drop anchor In Fair Ravens at the
end. Life means being out on the
open sea. Life means roughing II.
Life means storm; means fog and
unsightly mud-banks, on which you
may run and be stranded. Life means
roaring reefs and sunken rocks. We
shall barely be saved--if we are saved
at all, and we shall land on the
eternal shore with nothing but what
we stand in.-McNeill.

GOOD LIFE, LONG LIFE

lie liveth long who liveth well.
All else is but life thrown away,
He liveth longest who can tell
Of true things truly done each day,
Then fill each hour with what will
last;
Buy up the moments as they go.
The life above when this is past
Is the ripe fruit of life below.

JUDGE I. J. LOWE
PASSED TO GREAT
BEYOND MONDAY

AS the clock tolled the hour of one
last night, there passed out one Of
the most useful lives of this commu.
nifty.
At this hour Thomas jefferson
Lowe. who resided at 220 Z street,
northwest, died at the age of &c,
following many days of intense suf-
fering.
As he lived and gave to others, SO
when the last hours came he was
surrounded by loved ones who gave
him every possible aid and there was
nothing left undone that human
hands can do.
Judge Lowe. as he was known,
was born ON Louisiana plantation;
he gave four years of service to the
cause Of the Confederacy and later
moved TO Gilmer in Upsher county.
Texas, where he served for lG years
as county judge.
He was an "s9er" In Oklahoma,
moving to Guthrie at that time, where
he practiced law The name of the
firm was Lowe and Houston. He
served as registrar OF Oklahoma and
also served as secretary of state under
the Grover Cleveland administration.
He was for q time acting governor OF
the state and the only criticism of his
brief administration was that ne re-
moved the shackles OF prison life from
few good men aud returned them to
their families.
This act was but in keeping with
the life he lived For fate decreed
that he should stand sponsor for u
group OF orphan children numbering
fifteen. These children We're taken
INTO his home, each one who would
take 1t was given u college education.
The lives OF these younger people
whom he supported and educated
stand out today as monument to his
generosity, to his skill in earning
money, and they love him even more
than they could love u father, Of
whom such service is expected
From the practice OF law he be-
came the Oklahoma manager of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York and held this place with
unusual proficiency until the year
1915, when ON account OF feebloness
of health he retired. II was after
his retirement that he moved to this
city
He was man who possessed un-
usually good health but he was pa.
tient In the midst OF his suffering
when the end came. In the midst
Of death he never lost sight Of the
generosity uf spirit that had always
ruled his life aud asked for the priv.
ilcge OF giving to a member OF his
family generous sum FOR his pos
sessions just before the end came.
He is survived by two daughters.

clared Mr.. Matthews.
The truth about the matter is that
the house did complete appropriations
long before adjournment time. The
senate Increased the appropriations be
yond reason, and the house refused to
concur In the amendments.
AS the session resolved itself. il be-
came battle between the TWO. houses

Mr.. Matthews said that if>-the SEN
