Another car, an Illinois Central
this time, that was loaded at the Healy
warehouse last week with potatoes.
caught fire after the car had been
coupled in the train, and the train was
pulled up to the water tank where the
roof of the car was broken so that the
interior could be flooded with water.
The fire was quickly put out, but not
until it had been SO badly damaged
that it had to be put out of commits
sion. The contents of the car were
damaged badly and there was quite a
loss.

~ B. Plant in the early '90s, but he
was by no means sure that the scheme
was feasible, so 1, acting under his d.
rection, undertook an expedition
through the region. Despite its prox-
unity to centers of population, 1t was
then for the first time thoroughly ex-
plored by white men. Ours was virtu-
ally a voyage of discovery. We pad
died our light boats on lakes and
camped on islands that, 1 have good
reason to believe, had never before
been visited by any human beings but
Seminole Indians, and by these but
rarely. We underwent so many hard
compelled to turn back, but our eff
forts were not in vain, for we ascer-
tanned the important fact that the
everglades along the whole 16O miles
of the eastern side are trimmed by a
rock edge. We furthermore learned
that all of the lakes are several feet
above sea level, and we decided that
there was nothing whatever to pre-
vent the water of the lakes from flow
ing into the ocean and leaving the land
drained If vents could be made in this
long ledge of rock. The chief question
before us pertained to the practicable
ty of cutting through the ledge In va
rious places and dredging out outlets
into the Atlantic, which is not more
than two or three miles away at nu-
merous points.
Experiment proved that this work
would present no great difficulties. II
was merely a matter of great deal Of
digging. Henry NJ. Flagler took up
the project, and it is being carried out
by his lieutenants We are not only
making artificial outlets through the
rock, but are also, by ditching and
dredging, turning large bodies of
water into rivers and creeks which
flow to the ocean. The work has pro-
gressed far enough to enable me to
predict confidently the opening in Flor
ida within very few years of great
tract of land of almost unprecedented
ertility.-Success.

Everybody's Canoe.

"Try to please everybody and you
will please nobody" is a well-known
truth, and brings to mind the follow
ing story:
"a man in a forest was building a
canoe; along came a traveller, and told
him he was shaping the bow altogeth-
er wrong, and advised him how to fix
it. The man changed it, and the trav-
eler passed on. Presently along came
another traveller, and, stopping to
watch progress, suggested some other
improvement, which the man made.
Not long after, third came, and also
rendered his advice, which was accept
ed. The man having finished after the
wishes of the travellers, suspended 1t
from a tree, and commenced to make
another after his own ideas; SO when
the fourth traveller came along, and
asked why he did this and that, the
man looked up quietly, and said, "See
here. stranger, this Is my canoe; there's
everybody's canoe pointing to ths

"MY GRANDMOTHER"
Her Helpful Spirit and Ways Found
Her a Welcome Always.


A clear-headed woman of 80 recent
ly told how her fathers mother went
from Maine to Massachusetts to make
her home with his sons family, seven
ty-t1ve years ago this autumn. She
was SO frail that the captain of TIE
small sailing vessel hardly dared to
take her as passenger, but event
ually found her most helpful in car
ing for the other storm-tossed trav-
elers.
Although they had never before
met" continued the narrator, my
mother greeted her with the words, 1
am glad you have come At this my
grandmother broke down, saying, I
was afraid you would not be- Our
family was very poor, but we soon
found her a most helpful addition to it.
She taught me, the youngest child,
how to sew and to read, and did much
to amuse and interest me-"
The neighbors soon came to like
this aged woman, and to send small
delicacies to her whenever they had
them. Inc nrSt tomato lndl ner ullle
granddaughter ever saw came in this
way.
One day the family was startled by
the sound of some one falling. It's
in grandmother's room" cried the lit
tie girls mother, and together they
went there, to find that the good old
woman had breathed her last. This
was nearly seventy years ago." con-
cluded the narrator, but the recollec-
lions of my grandmother are among
the most precious of life's memories"
This story of the simpler ways Of
earlier times doubtless has its counter
parts now. written over and over again
every day. AS the last quarter of Lhts
century opens in 1875. one of to-day's
fve-year-olds may then tell for the
benefit of readers of that time how
she learned that q woman is never
too old to find a welcome if she have
the welcome spirit.-Youth's Compan-

DRAINING THE EVERGLADES
Wonderfully Rich Section of Florida to
to Be Made Productive.

TO ne nauc productive.
There are great agricultural posi-
bilities in the Florida everglades.
Though they are yet merely an ex-
pansive waste of swamp and lake and
jungle, venture to predict that they
will be the location of hundreds of fer
tile farms within ten years and will
by degrees develop into one of the
most productive tracts of land in the
world. The barrier to the utilization
of the everglades has been, of course
tho water which covers the greater
part of them to a depth of from one to
six feet. But 1t has been found en-
tirely practicable to drain OF the wa
ter. Work to this end has already
been begun, and is being pushed rap
idly. When 1t is completed tract Of
land 100 miles long and sixty miles
wide will have been opened to cult
walton. The size of this region is not
as important as the remarkable pro-
ductivity of the soil. The latter is not
only absolutely virgin, but has been
fortified by animal and vegetable life
through many centuries. l am conf
dent that its crops will lift Florida to
a place among the leading agricultural
States.
