groves in early November; and here
Nature, fercely tender to bring it out
of me, took me in hand. There was d
hot battle between friend and foe, and
all my nerves and tissues were their
battle ground. The enemy held on for
his dear life and put out every flag he
marches under; but my great nurse
never left me by day or night. She
walked me in the morning with the
gentle fiinging over me of her coverlet
of gold, woven from the first rays of
the rising sun, and then she brought
me the tonic juices of her royal Pomona,
and so she cOaxed me to an earlier eX-
odus from walls than [ had before
made, and wrought within me a keener
appetite for an earlier breakfast than |
had ever known in the ''invigorating
air" of our frigid North.
Well, after this early breakfast the
genial loafng with other loafers and
loaferesses, on broad piazzas, in or out
of the yellow sunshine; and then q saun-
ter to the boat house and dip of oars
in the clear waters of the lake; the ram
BILE through a corner of the orange
grove, 'crOss lots to my pine groves;
the slow survey of busy workmen from
the elevations afforded by the piles of
fresh lumber, here assembled; all this,
with no remembrance that the enemy
exists. Then, the dolce far niente of
the afternoons, whose brief hours pass
swiftly into the sunset; that Florida
sunset whose wonderful beauty is to be
compared, world-known and world
knowing tourists tell me, to none any
where save in some portions of Upper
Egypt; and the long after-glow, found
nowhere, [ am sure, outside Of Paradise;
and then, following close, the flaming
OF stars, nearer, greater, and warmer
than one dreams they could be; and
perhaps the slow rocking of a crescent
moon, until it cradles itself in the lake,
where it's reflection comes to meet it from
beneath the quiet waters. At every step
is the sense of this attendance of healer
at my side, until the last promenade
upon the piazzas before bedtime whose
hour is set to not too great disprOpor-
ton to that Of the morning and final
falling off to sleep with this same kind
Nature brooding over ME, with her stars
above her orange groves, out my window;
waking, if at all, to hear the midnight
soft snatch of after even-song, Or the
sweet prelude of the daWn-paan of the
knocking birds, and to be lulled back to
sleep again, until the gold dust comes
against my eyelids in the morning.
Under this treatment malaria could
not make head; nothing was left for him
to do but to fold up his tents like the
Arabs and silently steal away, finding,
no doubt, ample hospitality elsewhere.
Such is my experience with the malaria
of Florida, as l have found it in literal
fact.
Now, mark me, gentle critic. Suppose
a tourist of another turn, i. e., of another
Florida,-his Florida not being mine,-
suppose him in this same case. but fee
ing from the pines and orange groves in
perhaps fortnight after war is declared;
by this time his unsleeping foe, who has
fastened his evil attendance upon him in
previous DAYS, has arrived at the zenith

butte When the constancy OF a congen-
ial climate has been experienced, enthusi-
assn may be forgiven, but the want of it,
never. Climate is too vital a matter to
be phlegmatic about.
] will not, however, ignore echoes which
come to me, as [ write, from the Obiec-
tors and critics, whose chief equipment
for their objections and criticisms is often
found to be dense ignorance OF the sub
jects under their august consideration.
There are, however, [ believe, many sim
cere seekers for just such climate as [
have found, who have failed to find it for
no better reason than that they have
taken testimony in place OF making ex-
pertinent. To them malaria is real
thing, and malaria in Florida an awful
fact.
Now the truth shall be spoken of my
Florida" the reader bearing in mind the
significance which Hasten Oh those words
and the responsibility they limit and de-
fine. In my Florida every prospect
pleases and only man is vile. If malaria
exists, it is because man is there. What
mean is exactly this: that if visitor
or resident of Florida has malaria in his
system by reason OF his visit or residence
in Florida, it is because he has not let
nature have her perfect work Nature
does her part, but man does not do his.
In certain districts of river bank and
lOWland stiltundrained there is need that
when persons settle they should first OBJ
serve the necessary precautions against
the stdgnations and accumulations in
wet places, and overcome them by prop
er drainage and destruction. Men and
women who are in too much haste to do
this, who will go into hammocks on low
lands and live there, without proper pro-
lection or proper food, regardless of prop
er hours for labor and rest and exposure,
these persons, whether from ignorance or
Incidence Or Out-and- out presumption on
the fOrbearance of nature, will still reap
the rewards of the breaking of her laws.
The part which nature requires Of man
she will not do for him. In Florida that
part is very small, but, such as it is, she
requires it inexorably, and if she receives
it not, her punishment, if slow, is sure.
The sin is that of the settler.
The settlers malaria is his own look
out. Perhaps the malaria of the tourist
is a somewhat different thing, and should
have some separate discussion. At
least, since tits desired and intended that
this paper shall be nothing if not critical,
and not critical unless impartial, will
speak and make confession concerning
the malaria of one turist, whose case |
know thoroughly. In those ranks-the
ranks Of the tOurist-my name is num-
bered, and speak from experience
No one going into new and suspicious
ly regarded country was ever so filled
with a Wholeso me end unWhOlesome fear
Of malaria" as was myself on my first
visit to Florida. | say wholesome fear,
because that induces caution, and IN
wholesome fear, because that begets tim
idity. The former is good when caution
passes into precaution; the latter wholly
evil until it gives place to courage. On
the whole, however, it is we'll to have
both, if either; they better join hands
and mace along tOoethe twin shades

ambuscade, will make him stand out IN
open field and fight for his life, and then
fly for it
Such being my experience with this sus-
pect, have naturally come out oft with
the conviction that the malaria acquired
in Florida" is the malaria imported to
Florida, which Florida would treat in
every case, were she allowed, as she did IN
mine. But if the owner of this precious
maIady hastens away in terror so soon
as the foe is revealed, he will carryi it with
him and very likely Florida will get the
credit for it's existence. Then it is that
the devil scores another triumphant and
mischievous lie On his list.
4 believe Florida is the place to find out
that you "have malaria" 1t will come
out there because it cannot stay there.
There will be fierce fight, but never an
uncertain one; and if the visitor to Flori-
da finds the right place, and stays there
long enough, he and Florida will have
formed firm alliance against the enemy,
and the enemy will fly.
OF course one must learn how to live in
Florida; that means what to eat, when to
exercise, when to rest; and above all, he
must have real love for and Joy in ma
ture. He must have caution until he
knows how to use precaution; and this
not because there is more danger than
elsewhere but precisely because there is
less danger than elsewhere. 1t is here, of
OF security, her minimum o. risk to her
worthy lovers, and in this sense of safety
with her at all hours lies the whole truth
about the danger. Oneforgets the danger
can exist, and, SO persuaded, goes too far
and too fast in presumption on her favor.
This too easy familiarity she can, and
she may, punish. 1t is best to make haste
slowly in gaining her complete devotion.
Do not, at first, give yourself too much
to the unsheltered air of night. Have
wrap always at hand, for the first hint of
chill. In short, be half as prudent here as
you are anywhere else, and you will gain
a whole world of new liberty, and have
nothing to lose in exchange. have spent
days and nights on all waters in Florida
the Wekiva, the st. Johns, the Indian
River, on the open Gulf of Mexico, in the
harbors ofKey West and Marco andupon
the placid waters which float upon their
surfaces the ever-verdant fleet of the Ten
Thousand Islands-under the sun by day
and the moon and stars by night, and
have come out of it with brown face, q
clear eye, no extra flesh, considerable ex-
ira spirit, with ''an appetite that could
eat the solar system like CAKE" with
stores of plumber laid in by the magma
ton for tame days ahead, and with O.
treasury of physical vigor to help me
through our Northern summers.
So much, and too much, for the malaria
OF my Florida. The Suspect should be
treated as briefly by one who knows as
were the snakes of Ireland in the famous
guide book. An exhaustive treatise on
the malaria OF My Florida could be writ
ten in the one sentence, "There is no ma
laria in Florida"
OF course this Oricle is complete only
when the words are understood "by him
who knows" For him who knows how
to receive it, and to apply it. for him alone
