To see Florida is a pleasure; to visit it
is a privilege; but to spend a fortnieht
within its borders is au ep jeh. Tuere is a
great satisfaction in witnessing the
ri;.o'iiup ot tropical fruits in their own
native land, and a peculiar joy in wrest
li g witli old oeoan's waves when' likes
and rivers are a!' icebound at home. One
appreciates the wonders of modern inven
ti >ii and railroad development upon leav
ing the neighborhood of good skating one ,
day and finding himself in the vicinity of
good bathing the next. Yet this can be
done, and tho man who pr -fers hunting or i
