Those who can remember back to

The tragic mysteries of Cienega sta

murders and robberies and hold ups

never dealt with by the authorities.
That their crimes were avenged, how

the Indian massacre which occurred

night the Apaches gathered in silence
on the surrounding hills. and at day

Siberian and Russian.

Thomas G. Allen, Jr., writes an arti-
Gle on The Boys of Siberia for st.
Nicholas. Mr.. Allen says:
To begin with, the Siberian boy Is not
Russian. l insist upon that distinc-
ton, because | know he would be sure
to make it if he were here to speak for
himself. no, sir; am not a Russian"
one has often said to me. in polite cor
rectiOn; I'm a Siberian" And he
speaks in a way that leaves no room to
doubt the sincerity of his pride. The
reader may, perhaps, think this a dis
tinction without Il difference; but, from
my personal observation, should say
that there is justification of intermix-
ture Of native blood with the Siberian
Russian. Generally speaking, the ST.
berian boy, as compared with the boy
Of European Russia, Is by far the
quicker Wtted, more energetic, and
more self-respectng. He has many
more of the qualities that in the hour Of
his country's need go to make up the
hero or patriotic soldier.
They say 1t takes a smart man TO
make rascal Whether this be true or
not, certain it is that the class of men
who have been sent as eXiles to Siberia,
especially the political prisoners. have
generally been taken from the more in
tellectual classes of European Russia.
The descendants of these eXiles. on the
other hand. being born and raised in
Siberia, away from the harmful influ-
ences of a crowded population, have in
herited natural intelligence without the
they know nothing about the disgrace
of exile, and regard Siberia only with
genuine pride as the land OF their ma
tivity.

There are two serious contingencies con

A short distance down the peninsula
and below Jasper is Suwannee Spring.
1t forms one of the principal feeders of
the river, and is a well-known favorite
winter resort. 1t is some distance fro n
the railroad station, and tourists are
taken thither in an ancient "dinky"
street car, and their baggage on a fat
open car linked behind. Both are drawn
by venerable but vicious looking mule.
and the wisdom of the owners of both
the vehicle and the mule is exhibited by
the length of the traces, which are suf-
icient to allow the animal to kick free

Suwannee Spring. like many of the

the coming to the surface of a cOnsid-
cradle sized underground river, and.
like many of these springs, that at Su~
wannee is supposed TO possess valuable
medicinal qualities, particularly for dis

The large springs of Florida are

many Of them are wonderful for their
beauty and varied features. Almost
invariably they are clear as crystal and
very deep, some as much as eighty feet.
Many, like SuWannee and Green Cove
springs, are heavily charged with sui
phur, and others, like those at Homa-
sassa, with sulphur, iron and magnesIa.
The waters are almost invariably
warm.

are others In the near vicinity. one few
