Delight- {ed with the offer she started on her way, and although she saw many | ripe and full vars she passed them !, by in the hope of finding others that { were better. | As she went on, however, the corn grew thinner and poorer until at { last she reached the edge of the field | with empty hands and regrets in her heart that she had neglected to gath- er any of the golden ears. And so it is with life. Golden opportunities are strewn along our paths, but not content with them we reject them in the hope of find- ing better ones. True we may not consider the opportunities which come our way as at all adequate to our needs or desires, yet at the same time we should remember it some- times happens that opportunities which are not apparently attractive are but stepping stones to material advancement. The duty which lies the nearest is in a majority of instances the most uecessary for us to perform, as its accomplishment often directs our minds into hitherto unknown chan- nels, and sets in motion unsuspected forces of our natures, The duty itgelf may not seem to have auy direct bearing upon the course of our lives, except in the general way that the apparently un- Leventful occeurrences we meet every 1 day affect our existence, In the end, it is frequently found, it is the performance of the simplest duty that lays the foundation upon { which the strongest characters are built. A duty often resolves into an opportunity, and in the accomplish- {ment of the one we are really taking fadvantaze of the other, although that may not be plain at the time, being i HUNTING ACCIDENTS. The hunting season in Florida jopened this week, and there will | be ac idents, some of which will re- | sult in death, as the result of the careless handling of guns. ' These things occur every season, and (hey { will coutinue to occur; but by con- sidering the danger that lies in the handling of shotguns, and to realize that they don’t have to go off but once to do the work of death, or great injury, it may help some to- wards lessening the number of acci- dents, The only safe way to handle a shotgun is to bear in mind always that the muzzle must never be al- lewed to come in line with your own hody or the body of your com- Keep in mind always the A driver is told to keep an eye and a half on the road and half an eye on the horse.

The first issue was sent out Wednesday. | 3P It is Lakeland’s first daily newspaper and it has every prospect of success. The first issue shows marked ability on the part of its editors. The news matter is ample and well arranged and the editorials are in Hethering- ton’s best vein. If Lakeland knows what it is about, it will give The Telegram the support that will make it a permanent institution. The town is large enough for a daily and it will find that The Telegram will prove a great influence in upbuild- ing. The Tribune wishes The Tele- gram well, Editor Hetherington will find the task a hard one but he is in every way equal to it. It is much more exacting than getting out a weekly, and he is to continue the weekly in addition to the daily. The Telegram is welcomed to the field of Florida daily jonrnalism. May it realize all the hopes of its pub- lishers, Editor Hetherington of the Lake- | land News will soon begin the publi-| cition of a daily evening newspaper, at Lakeland, and it will be called The Evening Telegram. The News, however, will continue on its quiet and interesting way. “The lake- land News still has o field distinetly j its own,” says My Ietherington. while telling of the voming of The Evening Telegram, “which it pro- poses to cover and cultivate very thoroughly, It has Liundreds of sub- subseribers in the country survound- ing Lakeland who do not yet feel the veed of a local daily, but who want a good weekly resume of do the Lappenings of the town and county.

It is a great mistake 1. To set up our own standards of right and wrong and judge pvu-‘ is a ple acordingly. 2. To measure the enjoyment of others by our own, 3. To expect uniformity of opin- ion in the world. 4. To look for experience judgment in youth, 5. To look for perfection in ‘our own actions, 6. To worry ourselves with what cannot be remedied. 7. Not to yield to matters, 8. Not to alleviate all that needs alleviation so far as it lies in our power, and immaterial % To cousider everything possi- ble that we cannot perform. 10, To believe only what our in- finite minds can grasp, S o - “LAKELAND HIGHLY FAVORED" The following note of :\pprvria-. tion from Editor ¢, .
