This membership was secured through rivalry. The Board of Trade membe ip some time ago di- vided themselves into two teams, one the Blues, the other the Reds. Bach team tries to sce which will get the most members, and every day the re- sults are published. Aside from this, each team has a dinner, parade or other feature, which shows they are alive. That they ure boosters is evidenced by the good work they are doing for their town in all lines. Lakeland’s Board of Trade is also doing good work, but its membership should include every citizen of the community, whose concerted action will avail much toward the develop- ment of Florida's most thriving and progressive inland city. Ever since Bossy kicked over the lamp and set Chicago on fire, she has been getting into trouble. Down kere in Florida she is having to switch her tail and get a move on, or the march of progress will efface her entirely, But in the moving is where the rub comes. easy to get her off the streets of onr metropolitan cities and keep where she belongs out where the prass gprows green, the wild flowers bloom, and the twitter of the hird keep her company all day long. In Lakeland the officers keep behind the producer of the lacteal tuid quit persistently, but, in the wee sma hours of the morning she goes forth to see what she may devour, and in nine cases out of ten she selects some It’s not so her flower garden to spend a few pleas- ant moments. The results of her energetic labors need not be recited here- nor the language of the head of the and his charming spouse on the following day. Bossy don’t hear it, for she has perhaps made other calls during the night and is giving up some good, milk as the result of her visits remedy this trouble, gest that the cows of a town conld bc gathered and driven off by a re- sponsible party who would bring them back every might. For this service each patron could pay a small sum each month, which, in the ag- gregate would amount to a good sal- ary At night all cows should be kept in the barnyard, and allowed te run out only in the day time. If thic plan followed, Lakeland would show « great improvement, all ungightly fences could be re- house rich To we would suz- was moved; our fine walks could be kept clean; neighbors would be on more friendly terms and conditions gen- erally would show a great improve- ment. We love you, Bossy, but in your place, and that is not in our flower yards nor yet on our streets. Editor Hetherington, after enjoy- ing New York city and Niagara Falls, is resting in North Carolina.

Mrs. Vanderbilt, like Hans Breit- nann, had a party, and as it was an unusually extravagant one, Mrs. Vanderbilt is coming in for the usuai amount of criticism from the yellow and socialistic press. It is said that the one evening's entertainment cost the sum of twen- ty-five thousand dollars, and the ul- tra critics point out how many poor children that would feed and clothe, how many schools that would open, how many dinner pails that would {iil, and all that sort of thing. The touble is about the spending ot that or any other immense sum for mere show and pleasure, is that if it were not spent in that way it would not be spent in supplying the needy with clothing, with shelter and with food. It would stay locked up in the strong hoxes of the rich, wherg it would do no one any good. In spending twenty-five thousand dollars, the rich woman was froced to employ caterers, decorators, mu- sicias, and the like, and these in turn were compelled to hire many assistants in preparing the house for the entertainment, in presenting suitable service, in furnishing food and drink and the various amuse- ments that go to make up the suce- coss of a function of that Kind. That money, that twenty-five thousand dollars, found its way through the various grades of serv- ice from the highest caterer and mu- sician down to the humblest work- man who assisted in carting and in ordinary labor, turnishing, doubt less, employment thousands of industrious workers That much money, and more, when the preparations of the for the event are tzken into considera- tion, was placed in circulation and added thereby just that much to the ability to pay wages able number of employes. It is not the spending of money by the immenscly ‘wealthy that does the damage, for that does good, but it is the evil eximple to those who cannot afford extrovagance that works the moral -and material harm ~Miami Herald. for suests 1o an innumer- GAVE THE RIGHT SICN A well dressed old man walked inte a corner drugstore thy other day, mopped his brow with a hand- kerchief, and took a seat at the soda fountain. The clerk faced him ex- pectantly, “I am very thirsty,” he remarked, and drummed on the counter. *1 don’t know what I want. Well, | believe 1 will take a phosphate,” he concluded, still drumwlng on the marble with his llngora Tm- clérk smiled, picked up a qmu .mql went to the rear of the store. He came back, set it in front of the old man and rang up 15 cents out of the half dollar which was given him. The old man, without looking in the stein thirstily raised it to his lips and took a long draught. Then he quick- Iy set the stein down, spluttered : moment and then exploded between hicconghs: “What do you mean? 1 never took a drop of liquor, in my lite. But I know it, sir, the rotten stuff, I smell it. 1'll not stand for it, sir I called for a cherry phosphate What do vou mean, sir, by giving me this whisky?" And the old man stopped for hreath as he glared a* the amazed clerk. “Well, 1 -er -1 guess I made a mistake. 1 thought you wanted it for medicine,” stammered the clerk. “Sir, I am a teetotaler. 1 wouldn't touch the stuff for love or money.” And the old man walked out indig- nantly. “Well, for thg love of Mike!" ex- claimed” the clerk to a man at the counter who had been served a stein in the same way. but who made no Lick. “That old duffer came in here and certainly gave me the correct sign. And he drank nearly half of it, 100" The clerk laughed as he looked into the stein.—Kansas City Journal sir, when Active work on the extension of | Petersburg and Gulf rail- the St |read, a trolley line to connect Tam- pa bay with the Gulf of Mexico has| begun.

Such has been the history of hundreds of these sands of disappointed followers and orders and when we search the rec. ords for the causes which led to their wreck we will find in almost every instance that the officers and not the pmembers were the real beneficiaris. Tkeir foundations were laid in sel- and personal aggrandize- ment, hence there werg no lcyal membership behind them to h:ep alive the enthusiasm and to labor hand in hand with those in charge, but not so in our great order for its foundation is laid deep in the rock ci brotherly love and its corner stone iv protection for the wife and chil- dren of its members. At the head and the founder of this noble order stands that prince of men, J. Cullen Root, whose giant mind conceived and perfected the plan and whose tender loving heart went in sym- puthy to the thousands of widows and orphans of our land. Monument of brass and stone have been ereci- ed to the memory of our great mili- tary heroes, but to J. Cullen Root and he alone are thousands of mar- ble monuments standing today, for every stone placed &t the head of & departed borther is but another mon- ument erected to the honor of our great sovereign commander, yet to him are other nobler, truer monu- ments than those of stone or brass being daily erected in the hearts of those thousands of widows and or- phans whose future has been pro- vided for and around these altars are daily burned the sweet incence of love and thanksgiving. f.shness “Though but 22 years old our or- der stands today the peer of all other fraternal orders both in membership an din financial ability to mect its obligations. No other order has even so wisely provided for the protec- tion of its members. \When you real- ize that although but a few old it has paid to the wives, dren and other loved ones parted members over and yet during this same time has accumulated an emergency fund of over $14,000,000.00, can you wonder then that we arowing “like o tree planted by the rivers of waters.
