Two Weeks in Florida.
To see Florida is a pleasure; to visit!
it is a privilege; but to spend a
night within its borders is an epoch,
There is a great satisfaction in wit
nessing the ripening of tropical fruits
in their own native land, and a pecu-
liar joy in wrestling with old ocean's
waves when lakes and rivers at home
are all icebound. One appreciates the
wonders of modern inveution and rail
road development upon leaving the
neighborhood of good skating one day
and finding himself in the vicinity of
good bathing the next. Yet this can
be done, and the man who prefers
hunting or fishing will take his ac-|
forts
ida extends a cordial invitation to all
sportsmen.
Whoever would exchange for two
weeks the uncertain climate of the
| like sunshine of Florida should take

tour of the Pennsylvania Railroad
