tonic, so we boarded o street car
and struck for a hotel, which was
on Main plaza. We went in and
then prepared ourselves for supper.
We had laughed SO much on our
journey that we had good appetites
and such a supper that We ate was
just simply outrageous, and l
think the landlord thought SO, too,
There isn't much money in the
hotel business when it comes to
feeding country jakes." After
supper we had our rooms shown to
us and then told the hotel man
that we wanted to walk around
some and would be back sometime
during the night. We struck out
following our noses until we landed
in saloon, in the back end of
which was q gambling den. There
were all kinds of games; monte,
faro chuck-a-luck and others. We
stood by and watched the chuck-a.
luck game for awhile, when John
decided that he would try his luck,
He purchased a few chips and made
some bets and won until he had
several dollars in chips. Finally
his luck changed and he began
losing, but he "quit 'em while he
was ahead. After remaining lit.
tie while longer we repaired to our
lodging place. Next morning we
rose bright and early and after
eating the hotel man out of house
and home we proceeded to take in
the sights on foot. John said We
had better scatter out, one go one
way and one another, or elee the
police might take Us in. I don't
see how they come not to take us
in anyway, because if John and Ed
read the signs like l did they would
know very well that we were
country birds, We got through
all right until we happened in from
of a photograph gallery. Then &c
and agreed that we would have
our pictures taken on tin, Johr
said he believed he didn't wan
any of it,in his, so Ed and walked
in and made our wants known
, With an alright" he placed us ii
position to receive the impression
Ed was little scared for he sale
he was afraid that thing would g
off half cooked. Sure enough
did, for we had it all to go owe
again. BY that time we were 81
badly scared that we were trem-
bling all over. You could even SCI
us shaking in the pictures ate
J they were finished. After leavinl
, there we were strolling arounC
when who should John and Et
meet but one of their old friends

with him and after inquiring abou
} all the folks, etc, he wanted to ge
a quarter to send after his trunl

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-04-15

Elizabeth Rosecrans, first wife of the
late Selim Grant Rosecrans, the board
OF trade operator who died intestate at
Orlando, Fla, March 31st, leaving an
estate of $3.50, 900, brought suit in the
circuit court at Chicago alleging that
Rosecrans obtained decree OF divorce
from her in Milwaukee in 1883 by frau.
and without giving her legal notice
The suit is directed against the supposed
widow, Margaret Victoria. who is the
younger sister of the complainant, and
is in the nature of claim for the whole
estate. Rosecrans and his first wife
were married in Pembroke, Ontario, in
1872 The bulk of the dead mans per-
sonal property is in safe deposit vaults,
and the court is asked to restrain its
removal, as $35O,0OO is in the maiden
name of her sister. Almost at the time
the will was filed, the funeral services
were being held from the family resi-.
dence.

Agriculture a Science.

Every department of the business Of
farming illustrates the fact that agri-
culture is science, and that when its
laws are known and applied, results
will be secured as certain as any that
attend the application of the laws of
hydraulics or of light and chemistry,
says the Southern Cultivator.
The Improvements in fruit culture are
due to the fact that men have studied
the great facts in regard to the growth
of plants and trees, the circumstances
under which they best flourish, the
chemical analysis Of the elements which
compose them, and the notifications of
which they are susceptible by proper
care and cultivation.
The farmer cannot afford to be con.
tent with the process of muscular effort.
Neither can he make changes blindly
if he would profit by them. But adapt
ing the facts of the past to the progress
i've principles of the present, he moves
on toward the greater attachments of
the future.
1t has been well said that the strict
est sience is the mother of the truest
art.
The farmer who has a knowledge of
his soil, will understand that it will not
yield that which it does not possess, and
he Will not pay the penalty of wasted
capital and lost labor. The scientific
condition of permanent success is the
knowledge of the condition OF the soil
and the adoption of the crops to the soil,
and his manures to both soil and crops.
The farm is laboratory to the true
farmer. Every crop is study to him,
for it has it's own laws to be studied.
Every season has its charm for him, for
it's changes and chances must be care
fully watched.
