PE—— DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT S WIFE The ways of God are past finding out and the wisest of us may not understand why just at this time, when President Wilson is almost overwhelmed with more public cares and grave vital issues than any president since Lincoln, he should be called on to bear the heart-breaking erief of the death of his beloved and devoted wife. Until a few days ago the country didn't know that she w ill, for the president, with characteristic unselfishness, has kept his sorrows to himself as near as possible. Only when the gravity of her condition could no longer be concealed did the public know that of his dying wife the president of the United States was directing the multitudinous affairs which required nis per- at the bedside of his oflice sonal attention while his heart was aching with unspeakable grief as he realized his near and inevitable sepa- ration from the woman he. loved more than all the world besides. In a case like this the American people. regardless of party, nativity or residence, forget the prejudices of the hour and give without stint to the official head of the nation their warmest sympathy. The man who would withhold it 1s not fit to be an American citizen. President Wilson and wife lived in ideal marriage from the be- winning. She was a native of Geor- gla and a representative Southern woman of the best class. In the poverty and obscurrty of his young manhood she was his best and con- gtamt inspiration, his helpmeet in the truest sense and wisest counsellor. She was the first to recognize the great qualities in her husband and her joy and pride in his achievements were his finest reward. She gave him lovely daugh- ters to strengthen the tie between them, and from the beginning of a lawyer's career in Atlanta when clients were scarce and the wolf had to be fought incessantly from the door, to the crowning glory of the White House, she was always at his side to cheer and slrvn;thvni him with the sweet ministrations of his young years to fight the a loving wife, and in later help make him brave to hounds of slander and detraction who follow alwayvs at the heels of those who mount to greatness. The world is chill and dark Woodrow Wilson now as he looks upon the dear face of the woman he loved so well, soon to be shut from his sight forever in the awful and unending repose of death, and doubt- ful he feels how vain are earthly honors in a of such grief. But he is made of sterner stuff than for season Yo yield long to a private sorrow, for the imperative call of public duty will rouse him from his mourning to take up again the heavy burden of his office, and he will return to his task with the thrilling and priceless faith of the Christian that immortality is something better than a dream and his wife is waiting for him in a fairer world. syt ) The great mass of the American people, view with perfect equanim ity the shutting down of the stock exchange in New York, for they have never been able to understand how the herd of slick bellowing gamblers in that historie institution were in any sense useful citizens whose labors were necessary to the prosperity of this country It s very certain that the innumerable caravan of suckers who have mean- dered sadly forth from the portals of the exchange shorn of their wool by the rude persons within will feel no sorrow over the suspension and they would be glad to know that iz] was permanent.

Thirteen hits were chalked up for the champions, every man on the team contrituting at least one bingle. The Mulberry team came here yesterday so sure that they were going back with the game that they thought it was al- most useless to play it. A nice lit- tle bunch of rooters came along with them to see the mighty Lakeland go down in defeat but after that first inning silence reigned supreme around the Mulberry camp.

COMMENTS ON THE GAME by Redditt Gillespie Nancy. Watson Well, it was good batting practice anyhow. Mulberries should be plucked when they are ripe, not before. Watson fattened his batting aver- age in good style yesterday getting 'two pretty two-baggers. \Warap and Smith are great friends. They stick together like Le Page's glue (on the bases). Wonder if Mulberry’'s pitcher REDDIT in the Tampa Tribune this morning. Some new features were jntro- duced in yesterday's game. MR. Wiggins, the sockless wonder, intro- duced the DUCK. and HIT style of |batting. Our worthy UMP, Fern ’Roquvmore. gave us an introdnction to the FAST STRIKE-OUT play, calling Branch out on two pitched balls. The gentleman from Mulber- ry who was umpire for the visitors, imparted to the 400 fans that he knew very little about the rule book when he called Smith out instead of Watson in the third inning, but we should worry when Watson was nearer home than Smith. out again. That three bazzer came mighty near being a home run. we will have a little rest now until next Tuesday. In the meantime take good care of your throats, fans, so yon can put plenty of pep in the rooting. C.
