The search for Ponce de Icons fountain
OF youth has begun once more in Florida.
A man turned up near st. Augustine the
other day, who claimed a large amount OF
property. The owner of the property dis
appeared six years ago, taking bis little son
with him. Three or four weeks since he ap-
peared, looking some thirty years younger.
His little son was with him, and didn't seem
an hour older than on the day on which he
disappeared. This wonderful rejuvenatiOn as
tonished people, but the man explained it by
the statement that in his wanderings through
Florida, he stumbled on the old Spaniard's
fountain of youth. and took hearty drink.
He also held his son by the heels la Achille,
and gave him good ducking. He further
more stated that his delight at the prospect
OF perpetual youth was only dashed by the
regret of the boy at the thought of never
growing old and having moustache. The
holders of the property, moved by lust of
gain, contested his clairs, and the case went
to the courts. The jury, too, proved incred-
ulous, though the claimant generously offered
to take them to the fountain and 10 provide
drinking cups. The man now has no possess
sion but his immortal youth. and the small
sums he accumulates by saving wood.
