are. however, we'll supplied from inexhaustible
springs OF artesian wells
Many improvements have been made here
since last season. A complete system or fire
protection has been installed in the hotel. A new
carriage approach from the railway station up
the mountain has been made. which. though
Iengthening the distance somewhat. also re-
duces the grade. A new double tennis court.
one OF the finest in the range. has been con-
structed and is giving much pleasure to the
guests.
Another great crowd OF visitors came into
the mountains to-day by both the Kingston
and CatskiH routes. and there is no complaint
this season OF lack OF traffic by any OF the
TRANSPORTATION companies. All agree that this
will prove the banner year in their history.

sections daily and these are often so heavy that

quent occurrence, and here and there,
the islands, are the cabbage palmetto
and the pine. Wild rubber trees are
also found in some localities, growing
to enormous size! Throughout the re-
gion there is a phenomenal growth of
vines. The morning glory and honey
suckle attain great size and are al
most everywhere. The wild fig, which
fastens itself about a massive trunk
of live. oak or bay, lives its cannibal

has been destroyed. Wherever the land

arrOwroot. 1t is the mainstay Of the
Seminole. From its root he extracts

delicate and digestible.
There is a remarkable variety and
profusion of wild flowers. Water lilies
and spider lilies abound. Orchids are
found in great numbers and are of
! great beauty, On many of the islands
grow giant ferns, the fronds of which
measure ten feet in length.
The shores of the streams by which
the Glades are entered are covered with
rank growths of the cocoa plum. The
same tree grows all about the edge of
the Glades, producing blue fruit on
the eastern edge and white fruit to-
ward the west. Ine fora of the whole
region is unique and unstudied, and
contains, no doubt, scores of plants

The Everglades are not sports
mans paradise, in the usual sense of
that term. Nevertheless, animal life
| is fairly abundant in that portion OF
the area where the larger islands lie.
Deer are found on both the eastern
and western edges, and now and then
a bear is seen. The panther has not
entirely disappeared, an occasional
one finding his way into the explorers
camp. Offers are plentiful, and the
Seminoles, who hunt both the otter
and the alligator for their skins, derive
a considerable revenue from otter trap
ping. The alligator is often seen, and
his gentle roar is by no means un-
musical. On the southeastern edge
the crocodile (Crocodilus Americanus)
is found in small numbers, though his
more favorite haunts are among the

Hon. David Meekison began his po-

which he lives.
He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Con-
gress by very large majority, and is

his section of the state.

Neglected Colds Lead to Ca

Becomes Chronic.

The fact that catarrh will continue
to aff1ict one person for thirty years
shows how chronic the disease really is.
When catarrh has once fastened itself
upon the human system, it shows
disposition to remain. s-.. =.
Catarrh is not seif-crative nor seif-eiim-
NATIVE. 1t continues as long as it is al
lowed to remain.
Catarrh is naturally a chronic disease
and continues to grow worse, not bet
ter.
For thirty years Cong. Meekison had
catarrh, and yet he. experienced cure
by the use of Peruna.
+ Surely, if Peruna will cure a case of
catarrh that has run thirty years, it
will cure more recent cases.
There are probably ten million of uncured
cases of catarrf in the United States alone.
What multitude of victims this is!
What an ocean of discouragement and
unhappiness What Niagara OF an
guish and suffering :"
In all probability Peruna would
quickly cure every one of these cases.
