GUS expedient. either to soften the heart
of the navy board or if that proved inn
possible, to express his opinion.
Sir John Phillimore painted one side
OF his old yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest of the black
paint in printing on the other side in
large letters, ''No more paint. "
The navy board wrote to call his at

duct and signed themselves, as they did
officially, Your affectionate friends. I"
To this Sir John replied that he could
not obliterate the Objectionable letters
unless he was given more paint and
signed himself in turn, "Your affec-

The Florida I'm Country.

The majority of our tourists carry
from this state an impression of tropical
vegetation Illustrating in level expanse
of sand arched by heaven intensely and
brilliantly blue. But that is because
they have not seen all we have to show.
Florida has chill country" also, and
there the scenery is SO different that il
seems to belong rather to Georgia than
to the land of oranges and winter vege-
tables
The soil of that section Is entirely
distinct from that of the east and south.
There we have the red clay of Georgia,
and the pine gives place to the oak,
hickory and maple as the orange does to
the pear and the garden to the cotton
field.
1t is the conservatism of middle Flor
ida that has kept it unknown in great
measure to the outside world, not Its
lack of attractions. There are still
found much of the old plantation life,
the antebellum southern hospitality and
much Of the thought of the olden time.
To the tourist it will give new sensa-
ton, to the sportsman new field. TIC
the settler who feels that the subtropic-
al productions of southern Florida are
too strange and new it offers field foS
the crops of the west, it shows fine
stock and the diversified scenery for
lack of which he grows homesick with
us.
In all the south there is no section
more beautiful and none which offers
richer returns for intelligent industry
than the Florida hill country. -

has been proposed to build separate

off the flagship and put him ON small,
swift vessel, SO that he could choose his
position and conveniently give his or

would be that the enemy would concen-

the certainty Of sinking the latter and

The train numbered slowly into the
little village station. Already the light
was waning, the sky was clear and opa-
lescent and the air was still. A man and
his young wife-a laughing girl-step-
ped out on to the platform. They had
been married that morning. A servant
waiting Oh the platform collected their
luggage, and they passed through the
dingy booking office. Outside, the sleek
carriage horses fretted impatiently. A
short drive took them to the lonely gray
