? t'JI - . . "> BACK FROM FLORIDA iMr. Arp Gees From Bartow to tlie; Land of Flowers AND-THEN HE RETURNS HOME Changes That Latitude Makes oh Vegetation, Are Observed by the Phi losopner. I had a plersttnt call to Florida, an 1 have just returned. The radio u.s make it so easy for you now that even va veteran can travel if he h^s thi money. I left home eve mo nirg a't ;r early breakfast, and w?s in Jack o ville that night to supper with my bv* and his family, 415 miles in thirteen hours, and traveled over parts of f >nr roads. It was a daylight trip and I had opportunity t") notice the changes that ltitude makce in vegctnt n. This new route to Florida is a stn," line from Atlanta^ and the west. It i-cludes the Nasb,ville, Chattanooga a .1 St. Iuauis. the Wesaern and Atlantic, the Central to Macon, the Georgia an I Flo-ida Southern to Valdosta and the Atlantic, Va-Hosta and Western o Jacksonville, the preatie-t, cleanest and best regulated city fa the south. All of then} first-class roads, w fi parlor cars and dining cars and sleepers that run all the way through. They don't even tarry at Jacksonville, but keep on and on to the jumping off j place, if you wish to go there. That { new road between Jacksonville and ; Valdsota has ..?made this spoed and j comfort possfble. for it Ju s done away J wirtv-fhe elbows* at Tift on and Way-j cross. -.Tlif great-Piint system has no ; elbow's after you .get on it, but it is a J 1 long ways from Atlanta and the west, i "V. The new road was just what our peo- j pie wanted- it-is first-clca- in all re- j. * spccts. and make^-its 110 nrle; in le 3 than th^ee.hours. ! like the.se straight! r Florida railroads;; tliey don't reel yju | about like our Voads among the moun- ; i tains, and they just glide along like a snake in-th'e-gms;. rnese moumi u i roads 6wip^ au old man around the j curves and strain .'bis groin and loi::s and 'diaphragm and epigram and make bjnj i9Qr.e. and i?Uff for two or! three days'dtter he gets lone.

Besides all thiff, tag 1 cook has qujt, pnd I have got to get.| up by sui)i?e-and fre> up the . tove and | put on the coffee and hominy an I I ' then call bar to get up and cook lie j rest of the breakfast. I ustd ;o make j the biscuits, hut I have struck on tha1; ' I don't believe that a man's rough old horny hands were intended to nrx up j flour and milk and lard in biscuit dough. My old f.irrd Judg?

It has b?en hidden fur all these years, but has been found I never saw the like of northern tourists, the hotels at Janksonville are overrun, ' it takes several columns in their papers to give their names. The=e tourhts a e all rich, and spend their money freely. The men are. fairly good-looking, but the women look .tired and prematurely old. Northern women w<lll not com. ? pare with southern worn n for b au y and refinement of- manner.-. I bav? known this for fi'ty years; They ha.'? to work t-oo hard; poor things. I am sorry for them. They have got nothing but money. I walked round t e St. James and Windsor and never mw a beautiful woman; i.;ey are ma-ru mv and coaT>-e. and not an angel among them. New England or New York or any of those cold, ioy states won't pr.duce fairies or sylphs cr a-g->lic ; : orealures. You have to come as far south as Philadelphia and Baltimore ' . . to find a ?beautlful woman,-and they are scarce even there. You don't find fj' them in plenty until, you get down to jtV ' Charleston and Savannah. Down here where I live they are nearly all goodlooking and graceful and. as David Harom said, are coupled -well and' i stand up square on their pasture joints * and step like a ' deer. js their good fortune, not only 'fro,in he/edjty and climate, but because'-our m?n"ire t ; more chivalric to- llipir aftii'" V daughters and do qo^, ;worR them *o hiard. A recent number of a New York paper says our 'long-haired philanthropists are fearfully, iq. earnest about the southern negroes*, bpt you never hoar of them regulatiug the toil of a .

There is no hope for tli.s girl exceptin matrimony, and the right man will net find her. Ard yet these northe n philanthropists wllr skip over them all and, like Ggden and pp.. make a tour down <ou:h to see how the negro is getting on?the be^t (ontepted race upon the earth."

I ha 1 a delightful time ?an ovatipn of young maids and matrons and old veterans whose gray hairs an i care-worn faces reminded me of the passing years ar.d the passing of the old soldiers of the confederacy. These veterans will soon all be gone, for? "Ti*ne cuts down all. Both great and small. Except a pens'oned si'dier; They do not die.

When a church becomes a playtuo s' its sterple wil not ;ave it. When a man turns the light cn oth- j ers he must not expect to stay in the j shad? himself. We need to fear lest knowing much i of the life of Christ we know nothing cf the living Christ. If men were as anv'.oiis to do right as they are to got their rights the world would he righted. Beneficence is better than benevolence. Ease ensues only from earnest endeavor. Vegetarian Cevotees. Vegetarianism is not yet dead; far from it. For sqme time uow it -1*as taken a new nud prodigious vjtality, esneciallv in the United States, where, "~~I nearly every week, we find its clubs restaurants springing up anil flourishing in a wonderful manner; More than this, we le: ru that, under' the superintendence of the Rev.

Perhaps these meat-loving people will in time become bigoted vegetarians. Out of the 2,000 referred to above, 700 are Germans, 400 Russians, 350 Portuguese, and the rest English and Americans. The Rev. James New-1' lin,before starting, wrote to the Emperqj. pt.
