Florida that this alone Is sufficient 10 render the latter the preferred cruising ground for the winter camper.
 For an east coast cruise the best point of departure is Titusville, on the Indian river, for the reason that this is the most southerly railway terminus on that side, and because boats of all kinds may be purchased or chartered there. In cruis- ing down the superb landlocked lagoon of salt water known as Indian river the camper need not at any time lay in pro visions for more than two or three days, so numerous are the points of supply along the hundred mile run from Titus vile to Jupiter. At the latter place, if his boat be small enough, he may have it carried to Lake Worth over the little eight mile railway that has recently sprouted into existence in this out of the way corner, as though from some seed car ried far from its parent stock and then carelessly dropped; or, if the cruiser has confidence in himself and his boat, he can run out of Jupiter inlet and skirt the beach for ten miles to Lake Worth inlet, inside of which he will find twenty mile stretch of landlocked but navigable salt water bordered by fine private resi- dences and luxuriant cocoanut groves.
 If his boat is large enough, say thirty feet or more in length, and he is a good sailor, the adventurer, after laying in a good stock of provisions at Lake Worth, may make the outside run of eighty miles from there to Biscayne bay, the most glorious cruising and camping ground in all Florida. Although this run is sgenerally dreaded by the heinexperienced, it is not so perilous an undertaking after all. From beginning to end it can be made within few yards of gently shelving sand beach, on which boat may be run in an emergency, almost without injury. Then too, between the lake and the bay, are two harbors in which any boat of moderate draft may outride a hurricane without straining her ground tackle. The first of these is Hillsboro inlet, thirty-fve miles from Lake Worth, and the second is New River inlet, ten miles further on. They form the mouths of fresh water streams flowing out from the Everglades, and each is we'll worth few days of explora- tion.
 The widest and most difficult trip to be undertaken by the winter cruisers along Florida coast is from Punta Gorda to Cape Sable. The former is the most southerly railway terminus on the west side, and the latter, nearly 200 miles away. is at the extreme point of Florida mainland. Between them lies bewilder- ing maze of mangrove keys, reefs, bars, inlets, bays, creeks and sounds teeming with game and fish. It is trackless and almost uninhabited wilderness, in which provisions are not to be had for love or money, and fresh water ranks high among the luxuries. It is a mighty in- terestinG country all the same, and will amply reward the winter voyager who has the courage to light his camp fire amid its mysteries. KIRK MUNRoE.

Glad He Had Been BIufred.

It's essentially story of Chicago.
 A rather shabby looking man walked into the office and took a chair beside the big desk.
 I'm little hard up," he said, land if you could let me have Sl00 for short time think it would tide me over"
 The man behind the desk looked at his caller and became reminiscent.
 "Why, l haven't seen you for years" !" he said. Let me see! You used to call down at my farm in the old days when ] was located near Forty-frst street"
 "Yes," said the caller; "I drove down there one day with party of friends and filled up with some of your cherry brandy"
 'Iremember it perfectly" said the man behind the desk. "After you had taken a little of it you wanted Co buy the farm. |"
 "And you wanted $2, 900 for it, said the caller.
 And you agreed to take it" added ths man behind the desk
 "I did," admitted the caller, "and yoa came to my office the rext day."
 'Yes, and you swore you wouldn't take 1t as gift"
 And you declared you had witnesses to my agreement to buy"
 "But you bluffed me off"
 ''I did," admitted the caller.
 "Well," said the man behind the desk, I don't mind paying you $20O for bluff ing me off. The farm has made me rich. ' Chicago Tribune.

Men Who Wear Small Hats.

never saw an earnest worker, or a man who had real and serious duties to perform, who wore a hat too small for him.
 Many great lawyers and statesmen, cranky but shrewd speculators, popular preachers, and history making generals and editors wear hats too large for them sometimes so large that they act as ex- tinguishers and are stopped in their downward course only by the projection of the ears; but l never saw one who wore hat too small, perched upon the top of his head Indeed, might assert as a positive and invariable fact that, save in cases of dire necessity, such as shipwrecks or utter and hopeless poverty, the man who wears q hat too sma all for him is a silly, frivolous, conceited crea- ture, with no serious ideas on any sub ject, and only the most flippant and shal- low views of life and it's obligations. Even among tramps and vagabonds, the fellow with the "dinky" derby balanced

HIunders of the Teachers,

A friend, himself for many years q teacher, writes: "The blunders of teach CTS of English literature are sometimes more amazing than any that are told of their pupils. heard the other day of a woman at the west who, when class was reading Tennyson's Day Dream, explained to them that the happy prin. cess, in following her lover deep into the dying day went to Americal The laureate would be tickled to know of this. A year or more ago there was a discussion in leading educational jour nal as to the persons meant in Longfel- lows lines 'To the River Charles where he says:
 More than this thy name reminds me
 Of three friends, all true and tried, etc.
 "One writer suggested that they were Professor Cornelius c. Fulton, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Charles Sumner. An other thought that Louis Agassiz's name should stand in the place of Flaw thorne's, and this was finally accepted by all concerned. Neither the editor nor any of his correspondents or readers ap- peared to see the absurdity of making the name of the river suggest friends whose names were other than Charles" |"

Never Heard of Him.

Photographers stories are unique some times, and they do not hesitate to tell them to one another. It is said that the operators in New Haven, having always lived there, seldom hear of anything be. yond the limits of the city and their oper- ating rooms. The fact was illustrated recently when an operator in New York remarked to the man he was working with in New Haven that Parnell had just 1ied
 "Who!" was the inquiry.
 "Parnell," was the reply.
 After a short interval. during which, it is supposed, the New Haven operator was in conference with somebody, this message was sent: "If you mean P. T. Barnum, we heard that long ago, but no one knows who Parnell is. Telegraph Age,
