he has amassed fortune and knows
enough to take care of it.
The tarpon fishing is great attrac
ton for winter tourists as the Caloosa-
hatchee swarms with them. but they
are very gamey fish weighing from
one to three hundred pounds and it
takes an expert to bring them to gait.
They are called the Silver King, as
the scales have silvery coating and
are much priced for souvenirs by the
fortunate angler. The chief attrac-
ton to Northerner is the tropical
vegetation. Here the date palm and
cocoanut grow luxuriantly. The banks
of the river are lined with bananas,
large punches of the fruit hanging
gracefully over the banks. The streets
are shaded with the immense royal
poinciana and water oak. The yards
are mass of tropical flowers and
plants. Among the many fruit trees
one sees are the sapodilla, mango,
guava, custard apple, orange and
lemon.
A canning factory is kept busy dur
ing the fruit season canning guava
jelly, which is just being introduced
in the Northern market extensively.
The tropical fruits are mostly of
sweet, insipid taste and one has to &C
quire liking for some of them. The
town is situated on the edge of the
famous Everglades. 1t is here the
cattlemen stock up with their provi-
sions before entering the Glades to
hunt up the large herds of cattle
which are taken by steamer to Key
West and Cuba. The business amounts
to over two hundred thousand dollars
a year.
The raising of early vegetables for
Northern markets is another industry
which is very profitable. Over two
thousand acres will be put in this year
along the river and on Sanibel Island
in tomatoes. The place is considered
healthy. There are no wells, however,
people depending on large cisterns
from which the water is filtered.
Many people have an erroneous idea
of the Everglades and at another time
l will tell more about it and its noted
band of Seminole Indians. To any
one visiting Florida this coming Win
ter they will miss a rare treat in not
steaming down Charlotte Harbor and
spending a few weeks at tropical
Meyers, hunting and fishing.

PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY.
Miss HOLSTER Lectures to the La
dies of the Town.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather last Friday afternoon,
Mrs. McMillan's parlors were not
large enough to accommodate the la
dies who literally crowded in to the
Parlor Meeting to hear Miss HOLSTERS
talk on Responsibility of Parents and
Teachers in Relation to Social Purity"
Miss HOLSTERS happy manner of
speaking at once wins the closest at
tention of her listeners, and her earn
estness make every thought impressive.
The speaker prefaced her address by
expressing the deepest sympathy for
that great army of marty RS, the teach
ers of our land, and the mothers"
She felt almost that she belonged to
the motherhood, "for," she said, I'll
have seen so much of the want of
mothers love and guidance, and have
had to mother SO many boys and girls"
Nowadays teaching is coming to be
recognized as profession, and moth
erhood ought to be recognized as
such-the very highest of professions.
Every young girl, the speaker advis-
ed,should take a Kindergarten course,
to better fit her for the duties of mo-
therhood.
When children can be kept pure
long forward step will have been
made in social purity reform. Self
control is an essential trait of strong
character. A boy who knows nothing
of self control is lily fitted to go out to
meet the world. When he has learn
ed to keep in allegiance his appetite
and desires he can control himself in
all ways.
Every mother should make study
of foods. Nothing stimulating should
enter into child's diet. All spicy
condiments, tea and coffee, all alco-
holic beverages tend to stimulate the
passions and lessen the power of self
control. If the parent neglects the
highest duty toward the child, the
teacher, whose responsibility stands
next to that of motherhood, must take
it up. If the mother or teacher feels
herself in ignorance of thu laws of
health and principles of life, she
should ask advice and instruction
from some wise pure physician.
It makes tremendous difference in
childs life, what he thinks about.
Physicians assert that a healthy body
as we'll as healthy mind depend on
clean thoughts. 1t is a parents duty
to know the teacher into whose care
she entrusts her childs training, and
it is a teachers duty to consult with

those fat, who have become thin by
not digesting their food.
It restores the spirits and the appetite

THE EVERGLADES.
A Prolific Soil and Prosperous peo-
pie on the Edge.

Leaving Punta Gorda on bright
July morning our party boarded the
spacious side-wheeler Lawrence and
steamed down Charlotte Harbor, our
destination being Fl. Meyers. A cool
breeze was blowing from the Gulf of
Mexico, which made the whole trip
very delightful. We soon passed
Boca Grande, a dangerous point
where Government Life Saving and
Quarantine station is situated. On
the Fourth we spent pleasant day
here gathering shells, gazing on a
large schooner which lay oyer on its
side, the victim of the storms fury,
and talking with the life-saving men
who spend days without seeing soul,
except their companions. We soon
came to Pine Island which separates
the Gulf from Charlotte Harbor, and
from now on we are in sight of land
all the way. At the southern point of
the island is situated St. James City,
a pleasant winter resort which boasts
of splendid fishing.
Crossing San Carlos Bay we reach
Punta Rassa, where is situated the
custom house and cable offices from
the United States to Cuba. While
crossing the Bay we stop for few
moments at Sanibel Island, a great
summer resort for the people of Fort
Meyers. The steamer now leaves the
Gulf at Punta Rassa and ascends the
beautiful Caloosahatchee river and for
twenty miles we enjoy the tropical
scenery on both sides. Here we pass
a small cabin where a Northern gen.
tleman has large apiary, his bees en-
joying the flowers from the sweet
scented Mangrove trees, the banks are
lined with immense palmettoes which
give the country very tropical ap-
pearance. Now we pass lighter,
loaded with shells to pave the streets
of Ft. Meyers. The river is very shall
low and the captain takes the wheel
from the "darkey" pilot and carefully
steers her through the narrow channel
We soon come in view of the most
tropical city of Florida, which sudden
ly sprang into prominence after the
disastrous freeze of 1895. Here the
orange groves we're unframed and
will bear large crop this winter. The
first point of interest is the winter
home of Edison, the far-famed wizard.
His grounds are spacious and we'll
kept. Near the house is large lab
oratory which is kept in perfect order,
so that at moments notice Edison
could step in and continue his labors.
Fl. Meyers is an Incorporated city
of one thousand souls. Many of the
inhabitants are wealthy cattlemen.
One noted character of the place, the
wealthiest man in Lee county, can
neither read nor write. He carries
$3.50 watch, given him by his cow
boys, which is of no use to him as he
cannot tell the time. Nevertheless,

The second message of Christmas Is
joy. For the angels said unto them,
fear not, for behold I bring you good
tidings of great joy. which shall be to
all people," With Christ came the era
of joy--joy which shall ultimately reach
all people. When the gospel of Christ
reaches the heather the missionaries tell
us that their faces are illumined-With
JOY When Philip preached Christ to
the business man from Africa he went
on his way rejoicing. The repeated in
junction of scripture is Ito rejoice and
again I say unto you, rejoice True
religion is not sour and morose. butt
rather cheerful and joyful. The reason
some Christians do not rejoice is be-
cause they have so little real Christian
ity. Get the sunshine of real Christian
in your soul
Another message Christmas brings is
the message of love. God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
SON" This is the origin of Christmas
gifts The wise men of the east brought
their gifts to the infant Jesus. Since
then Christmas day is the foci of con-
spiracies formed for pelting one another
with gifts. Love prompted God to give
his son and love prompts us to give free
ly to God and men. Let the Christmas
bells ring out. Let the merry children
rejoice and be glad. Let all men turn
their attention toward the anthem of
the skies and endeavor to cultivate good
will toward one another. A merry Christ

Referring to the differences between

said the basis of old theological teaching
Is authority-that we must do the right
because we are commanded to do 1t. The
new teaching is that we must do right
because it is right A child who is mainly
taught obedience to parental authority
is in danger when such authority is re-
moved of going astray, because he has
not been taught to act from the proper
motive. If he has learned to love the
right because 1T is right. and to shuu
evil as matter of principle. he will be

EAST SIDE BAPTIST.

Rev Geo. E. Dye preached Christ
mas esremon Sunday morning from the
text, suddenly there was with the an
gel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying, GLORY to God
in the highest and on earth peace, good
will toward men,"
Peace is the first message which
Christmas brings. God reconciled to
men and men recOnciled toward one an
other. The first peace society was or
gaRized in the skies when the angels of
God shouted good will toward men.
Every Christmas tide finds the idea of
arbitration or settlement of difficulties
without blood notch higher. Soon it
will reach the high water mark of that
wonderful angelic chorus, Peace on
Earth, good will toward men," Men
shall know no war. Cannon shall be

At the meeting of the Harmonial Spir-

on The Old and the New. his discourse
being confined mainly to matters per-

points wherein old beliefs harmonize
with the new, and men of every creed
harmonize with each other. No matter
what may be our differences in mat

dox or liberal, we all acknowledge our
duty to live an upright life. Love of
truth, of goodness. of justice, and of all
