known as the Hart line," but the most noted
orange grove in the state. There are many
handsome towns and situations along
the st. Johns, and the line of the various
railroads, but for settlement and profit
have come to the conclusion that
this lake region, especially Sumter county.
is the Ell Dorado Of the state, and the country
bordering on Lake Harris the ne plus ultra for
beauty of scenery, fertility of soil and salubrty
of climate. While no one should expect to come
here and make a fortune in day, yet do not
think that there Is place where willing hand
and honest toll can sooner and with less labor
secure home and independence than in a large
portion OF Florida. Hundreds Of mechanics and
agrculturists could find employment to-day.
and many man and woman now sick and toll
ing hard, and with no future but work and sick
ness ahead, could come here and get both health
and wealth with half the labor required in the
north. This state wants energy, and any one
coming here with plenty of that commodity and
little money is bound to succeed, and money
invested judic!ously in Florida will pay better
than elsewhere and be much safer than most of
our banks.
This is no rose-colored picture, but plain,
unvarnished tale Of what have seen and know
Of Florida. NICK.

raw in that fashion. But that's the size of it
when you take the trimmings off.
R.-Very well, my dear, I'm going out, too;

GulteausS Defence.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR.
1t Is not too late, is it? to enlighten and to
warn the public against the wild and wicked
delusion that man Is ''inspired- to commit
murder, and that the inspiration takes away
not only his free agency, but the essential
element Of ''malice aforethought" which consti-
tutes murder in the eye Of the law. I have
called this wild and wicked delusion because
opens the door to political murder as a means
can't Of assassination hepel-the prominent man
who happens to be obnoxious to any party. fac
ton, or individual who cannot obtain Office. or
who Is bent upon revenge The dangerous con-
sequences OF admitting such doctrine in law
and giving it the sanction of courts and juries.

An Iowa Girls Ambition.

The SmarteSt girl I've met in Iowa met YES
terday at Nevada, Story county, northwestern
Iowa-MiSs Belle Clinton Miss Clinton is q
bright-eyed rosy-cheeked girl Of about twenty,
as full Of fun and health and vigor as good girl
can be. Two years ago Miss Clinton was
school teacher. Saving up by her teaching about

from her father. rugged up prairie schooner
and. taking her little brother started for Dakota
Miss Clinton says laughingly to-day speaking of
her trip: why. never lived SO nicely i'm my
life. and never had such an appetite. and such
courtesy received everywhere! Rough. rude
men would come up to our camp and. after had
talked to them awhile. offer to build my fire and
actually bring water to me. Wewent up through

east from the Missouri at Fort sully. home

what is a timber claim?"
"Wby. hired man and we set out ten acres
of trees. This gave me 160 acres more: so
have $40 acres now. But must tell you about
those trees. They were young locust. apple
and black walnut sprouts. / sowed peek of
locust beans, a pint of apple seed and two
bushels of black walnuts in our garden in Iowa
year ago. These sprouts We're little fellows
and we could set them out fast-just go along
and stick them in the ground. But they are
just as good. | believe my 5000 little black
walnut sprouts will be worth SIS apiece in ten
years. and $40 apiece in fifteen My locust
trees will some time fence tine whole country"
Then what did you dog
"We built a shanty and broke up five acres of
land; and this fall We came back to Iowa TO spend
the winter, and here are I'm the spring.
I'll go back with more black walnut and locust
sprouts and take up 100 acres more. The trees
are Just what | want to plant anyway, and
they'll pay better than any wheat crop that could
be raised-only I've got to wait for them ten or
twelve years; but I can watt
Here is girl who owns in her own right 800
acres Of splendid black prairie soil now and who
will own $50 acres in the spring. every acre of
which will bring IS within three years and SO
within five years and so within ten years. Her
black walnut and locust trees will be worth as
much more At thirty she will be worth S225. 600.

The Song of the Cake.

With features heated and red,
Vita head that thrObS and aches,
A woman stands in the kitchen
Turning buCkwhcat Cakes.
Bake. bake! bake!
In autumn, winter and spring.
And still with voice Of tremulouS quake
She but OF cake doth sing.
Beat, beat, beat,
While the batter is foaming high,
And bake! bake Dakei
Till it seems that the man must die.
But no-he bears him bravely,
And the woman continues TO bike.
Spreading and lifting and turning.
While the man, he takes the cake.

| to make the most judicious use of his time But
the rooms are free and the etiquette uncon-
strained. EXcellencieS are easy of apprOach
and converse affably on the political situation
with obscure men who neither cast nor control
a vote. The great buffet, temporarily set mn in
one of the principal rooms. is supplied with
cask after cask Of salubrious beer from Bavaria,
and is visited with growing frequency as the

spread with cold collation., and Germans have
good appetites. Such Of them, finally, as desire
more gentle pleasures and are not above the
weakness OF gailantry, can stroll into the great

gress, and pay court to the princess or the few
scraggy dowagers about her.
The most Characteristic part OF the feast is re-
served, however, until late In the evening, after
the ladies have been dismissed. Cigars arc then
handed around, but the chancellor prefers q long
Turkish pipe, which a discerning lackey viii

Is nevertheless weil-considered method in the
program. Unable to speak without entertaining,
the Prince has the art and the privilege of
blending instruction with entertainment, the
nseftl with the pleasant; and thus compels the
most frivolous guest to pause at some grave
practical truth, while laughing at Incompatible
jokes. Indeed, the kernel Of the discourse is
perhaps to be found, only half concealed. in the
