The career of Henry Morrison
Flagler., whose greatest achievement
was-the building of the Florida
East Coast Bailroad and its exten
sion over the coral reefs and ocean to
Key West, was as picturesque aa it
was meteoric""- From ,behond the
eoantry in a aountry .store he became
one of the rulers of Standard Oil,
second only to1 John D. Rockefeller,
snd chief finanoial figure in the Mate
of Florida. His friends say he rose
because he had the dominating quali
ties of a Morgan and point to him
as-a self-made man. -
'Flagler was married three time
His first wife. Miss Mary Harkness,
the daughter of a Michigan lumber
man, died after a few years of mar
ried life.,- It was on the dower which
ibis first wife brought him that Flag
ler founded the immense, fortune be

Flagler married Miss Ida Shrouds,

mueh entioism from his enemies.
Flagler's divorce" was secured after
Mrs. Flagler II, had been confined in
a 'sanitarium ' as hnneleashr "' insane.

and Olin Hawkins and their at 11
years, 'wandered into the -city hall
last ni)ht, tired, feet-sore and weary,
having tramped from Kewells venter-
day.---. - ,. -jy
Chief Boger stretched forth a kind
ly hand and brought the little lads
under his protecting care. - Replying
to questions from the Chief they told
of their journey. Their father's
name is Charlie Hawkins, of Marion,
so it was gathered from their story,:
and he sent them- to Kewells to visit
aa aunt. , At Charlotte they became
lost and were picked up and lodged
for the night by an unknown friend.
Monday they were sent to Newells.
but on'arrival there, they found that
their aunt had moved. People cared
for them during the night and yester
day they "hit" the National High
way in this direction, arriving here
about dark. The policeman gave them
dinner and tucked them away .in the
city lockup for the night. This morn
ing tbey were given breakfast and
Chief of Poliee Boger wired to Ma
rion to their father. At noon no re
sponse had been received from him.
,: The little fellows ; appeared very
mueh revived and refreshed by their
night's rest and food, and were as
gay and happy this morning as if
they were playing beneath the parent-
roof. ; They gigled, talked and
munched ice cream cones which were
given them by callers at headquarters
with manifest delight. They will be
held here until Chief, Boger succeeds
in communicating with their father.
