You never know in that part of the country when winter is over, and it is not safe to count o warm weather before June, although death by sunstroke may occur before that time. Say, friend, dom’t you know that you can do more towards saving your country by going to Lovell's store and planking down a dollar for your poll-tax, than by rip-snorting around the street corners discussing policies and candidates every day until the date of the primary, and then find you are a political nonentity, with- cut even a vote? — 0 It is a very remarkable man in- deed in Washington, who is winnng greater recognition for himself, or reflecting more credit on his State, than is Duncan U. Fletcher, Flori- aa's senior senator. We note, with gratification, that it is no unusual circumstance for him to get before the public in a prominent and fa- vorable way. His address to some 4,000 Government Printing Office employes on Washington's birthday has been favorably commented on by leading papers throughout the ccuntry, the Washington papers par- ticularly yfeaturing the matter. It always pleases this paper to be able to note that a public servant is mak- ing good, and Fletcher is undoubted- Iy doing this. — . When Germain was performing some of his clever tricks Saturday right, persons in the audience were heard to suggest that he was work- ing in conjunction with his assist- Be this as it may, there was no “collusion” between the Lake- land Evening Telegram and the Su- perintendent of the Lakeland Chau- tauqua, when the latter, in thank- ing those who had assisted in mak- ing the undertaking a success, gave Buch signal recognition to the work of this paper in behalf of the Chau- In fact, the editor was con- ant. tauqua. siderably surprised, for in common with newspaper men generally, he has been accustomed to work for ev- ery worthy public enterprise with- out any recognition, and expecting no reward except the consciousness of duty done. What the Evening Telegram did for the Lakeland Chautauqua is what its editor has been doing for every undertaking of neerit in this community for the past eight years. It is only very rarely, kowever, that the attention of the public is directed to our work through the beneficiaries of it hav- ing the grace to thank us for it. We boosted the Chautauqua because it is a movement deserving every- thing we can say or do for it, and, as heretofore, we shall continue to get behind every project of merit and push it for all we are worth, content in knowing that we are ac- complishing something for the gen- eral good, whether the fact is gen- erally recognized or not. cHAUTAUQUA BROUGHT TO SUCCESSFUL CLOSE (Continued from page 1.) anticipated. However, all enjoyed the music by home talent. Dr. Nowlin delivered an eloquent and logical sermon last night, which was given the closest attention by tke large congregation. WA |better selection of a speaker to close this intellectual east, could not have been made, and all were glad to bave the opportunity of hearing this able divine. KARL GERMAINE A WONDER. Saturday night (hautauquans were treated to the most marvelous demonstration of magic ever seen in Lakeland when Karl Germaine dem- onstrated his wonderful skill. His magical power was so wonder- ful that it can not be described. liowever, all were treated to a round of unbelievable surprises from the time he extricated the rabbit from the back of Earl Futch’s blouse to the grand finale, when he produced the flags of all countries from a small piece of silk. The blooming bouquet of roses and carnations which he apparengly produced from the seeds, and which were the most beautiful and fragrant the audience ever saw; the lamp which he made to disappear in thin air and the hun- ¢red and one other magical feats which he performed, kept the audi- ence spellbound for two hours. He is a wonder, and although there were those in the audience who could tell exactly how he accom- pilshed his magical triumphs, we believe it will be a few days at least before they will share honors with him on the American platform. WIVES. What the true man wants with a wife is her companionship, sympathy and love. The way of life has many dreary places in it, and man needs a companion to go with him. A man is sometimes overtaken by misfortunes; ke meets with failures and defeats; trials and temptations beset him, and he needs one to stand by and sympa- thize. He has some hard battles to fight with poverty, enemies and with sin; and he needs a woman that, when he puts his arms around her, he feela that he has something to fight for; she will help him to fight; one that will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hand to his heart, and impart inspira- tion. All through life, through storm and sunshine, conflict and vic- tory through adverse and favoring winds, man needs a women's love. The heart yearns for it. A sister’s or a mother's love will hardly supply the need.—Ex. CONDUCTING A COLLECTION. Rev, Allen Fort, pastor of the Baptist tabernacle in Chattanooga, arked J. B, Capeheart, a railroad con- ductor, to take up the collection one day. It was Mr. Capeheart’s first ex- rerience as a taker of collections in church. He started down the center aisle. There were several children in the first pew and each put in a penny. The people in the next pew also con- tributed something each. A big, glum fellow sat alome in the third pew. Capeheart passed him the plate. The man shook his head and stuck his iands deep in his pocket. Capeheart stopped, put up his hand as if to jerk the bell cord and said: “Well, you'll have to get off.” ————————————————————————————— A STATIONARY CAT. A truthful farmer reports to the editor of the Overbrook Citizen that it was so cold at his place last Satur- day night that the cat, in jumping from the top of the hen-house to the ground, was frozen stiff in the air and remained suspended until next morn- ing.—Topeka Capital. e ——————————— Type of Great Man. The greatest man is he who chooses the right with an invincible resolu- tion; who resists the sorest tempta- tions from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerful- ly; who is the calmest in storms and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on m is the most unfaltering.—Chan- THE EVENING TELEGRAM LARELAND, FLA., FEBRUARY 26, 1912 THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME To Get A Vehicle At Your Own Price Having determined to roncentrate my efforts on my Harness Business ang Kindred Lines, I will offer for a limited time in order To:Close Out at Cost My Line of Buggies, Sur- ries, Phaetons, Wagons and Other Vehicles | REPORT OF Tl%E CONDITION (1) ll’he First National Bank of Lake- at Lakeland, Fla., in the State of Florida, at the close of business, 1912, February 20, RESOURCES.
