Florida, as it is.

A subscriber to the Indiana Farmer
has come to Florida this winter and
writes back his impressions of the
state as he has seen it. 1t shows the
unreliability of attempts to describe a
country from such brief acquaint-
ance. West Florida. no doubt. has
much better climate than is found at
the North. but a tourist who has not
seen East or South Florida knows
very little about the winter climate of
this state. He speaks of the ground
being frozen hard enough to bear up
four horse team In East Florida.
the coolest that we have had it up to
this date, Feb. %, is 33 above zero
Have seen no ice at all so far this
winter
We had read many glowing accounts
of the Sunny South by real estate deal
ers and supposed it was the garden
spot of the United States: but the de-
lusiOn was soon dispelled when we saw
things as they are. When We went
South we passed through some of the
most desolute country we ever saw.
rough. broken. narrow valleys where
feeble attempts were made at agricul-
ture Of course there was some fine
country and large fields of cotton, and
an occasional field of puny corn.
When we arrived at Pensacola, Fla.
we supposed it would be warm. In
this we were disappointed, as it was
about as cold as it was when we left
home. 1t was the coolest it had been
for 20 years. Our impression of the
Sunny South was not favorable. The
next morning after our arrival the
ground was frozen hard enough to
bear up a four horse team, but there
was soon a change; the sun came out
and by noon it was quite warm and
from that time on while we remained
the weather was fine
Provisions are not high. especially
fish. oysters. sweet potatoes and fruits.
Irish potatoes are high as they do not
thrive well here, most of the northern
visitors spend much time i'm fishing,
as fish are very plenty. There are
many places of interest to visit near
Pensacola, such as the forts. Ten
miles from Pensacola on the bay or
Forts Pickens. Barrancas and Mckee.
Barrancas. is an old fort built over
300 years ago by the Spanish. 1t was
used during the civil war; but is now
out of commission. The old guns re-
main i'm position as they did during the
war. but are useless when compared
with modern guns. This fort is built
of heavy masonry, and at the time of
its construction was considered al
most impregnable. Today it would not
last long if bombarded by modern
guns. 1t is kept as relic and curiosi-
ty of the days gone by.
Fort Pickens is up-to-da and one
of the strongest forts on the gulf. be-
ing located at the mouth of the chan
mel. 1t was the only defense that was
not captured in the South during the
civil war In the navy yard here small
vessels are built and all kinds of re-
pairs are made on large vessels.
We visited the great fish packing
esta bliShmentS here. several of which
employ a large number of men. The
fish business. i'm a small way, is to
the South what the meat business is
To the North. The kind of fish caught
mt this time of year is the red snapper
a fine specimen often weighing from
five to thirty pounds.

tIFTEEN REASONS WHY YOU
SHOULD STOP AT THE
WASHINGTON.

1st-It is the best hotel on the
Coast
2d-It costs no more than poorer
hotels, as shown by rates below.
3d--New hotel. new furniture.
4th-Excellent service.
5th-The Washington, while rig
in the center of the city, is on an ele-
vation of 200 feet, which lifts you
above the noise, dust and smoke of
the street hotels.
6th-The hotel Is situated in the
center of Az acres of beautiful
grounds. with thousands of roses and
other fragrant flowers to beautify the
surroundings.
7th-Eight hundred feet of wide YER
andas surround the hotel, giving to
the guest opportunities for rest and
promenade not found elsewhere.
Sth-The view from these spacious
verandas cannot be described. Noun
tains, lakes. the Sound and the city
itself form one magnificent panorama
not found anywhere else on earth.
9th-The hotel lobby, parlors, Turk
ish room, etc, are exquisite, and form
q continuation of comfort and luxury
not often found in hotels.
1Oth-A Dutch grill has recently
been added, where service may be
had at all hours.
11th-The dining room cannot be
excelled. Breakfast and lunch are

13th-Being above the street and

all other hotels on the Pacific Coast
for excellent service and reasonable
prices, your bill will be nothing.
15th-Do not be deceived by believ-
ing that some other hotel in the city
is as good as the Washington, for such
is not the case. The Washington

at the Washington during the past
year and have given unstinted praise
and declared that in many respects il
excels any other hotel on the cont.

Influenza, like the poor, we have al
ways with u.s. 1t may be some COM
fort to know that in the good old days
things were no better. In Paris in the
sixteenth century friends on meeting
greeted each other with the question,
Men as-tu point goute un morcelet."
Long before that the scourge was
equally rife. 1t interfered with the
work of the law and prevented the
performance of religious rites. In 1403,
and again in 1857, the sittings of the
courts had to be suspended. In 1927
sermons had to be abandoned because
the preachers voice was drowned by
coughing and sneezing. In 1910 masses
could not be sung. The features of the
epidemics are said to have been inces-
SAINT discharge from the nose "as from
a fountain" fever and general lassi-
tude. The patients complained of head
ache and their chests were rent by
coughing. All food tasted bitter. Peo-
pie did not care to eat or drink and
they could not sleep. The duration of
illness varied from three weeks in 1411
and a fortnight in 1927 to six days in
1870 and four in 1857.
Influenza was variously known as
toilette and coquette, from its capri
cious nature The name grippe came
into use in 1743, the names Of petite
poste and petit courier in 1852. and
the name of general in 1880. 1t was
also known as influences and infuen-
"a. In addition to meteorological eau
ses the humming of questionable songs
was believed to bring on influenza.
The remedies We're many and various.
In 1910 sufferers put their faith in
blessed carbonized water, theriaca and
camphor; in the eighteenth century in
theraca and bleeding. In 1411 the
doctors confessed that they did not
know what to do, and in 1903 DR.. Cha
uvot de Beauchesne had the courage
to advocate in the journal des De-
bats" that the best treatment was to

The most gorgeous wedding robes
seen in many long day. even in New
York, We're worn by Miss Louisine A.
Peters, when, last month, in historic
Grace Church, she became the bride of
Harold S. Weekes, and the costume of
her one attendant, her cousin, Miss
Adelaide Havemeyer daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry o. Havemeyer, was
most picturesque and unusual with
its touches of deep violet, pale green
and gold.
Mrs. Weekes, who is very dark and
has a superb figure, was in a princess
wedding robe of cloth of silver, per-
fectly plain from the point lace
guimpe to the floor, the front of the
bodice having a surplice effect, three
or four folds of the cloth of silver
crossing en- surplice from one side to
the other, but these were tightly drawn
over the swelling surves Of her finger.
This robe set off her fine lines The
train, long and square, was entirely
covered by the heavy point lace veil
The veil would have been too heavy
for a slender bride, but it suited Miss
Peters perfectly. It was immensely
wide as well as long, covering the robe
from side to side and falling from the
forehead to the end Of the long train.
It was royal in it's richness. It was
arranged about the face in a style re-
calling that worn by Miss "Fih" Potter
when in the same church she married
James Stillman.
The lace was arranged with one point
in the center coming over the pompa-
dour almost to the forehead. The sides
Of the veil We're then gathered up and
laid in plaits at the side in Geisha
fashion over and at the back OF the
ears. Doubtless there We're a few

MY SYMPHONY.

To live content with small means; to
seek elegance rather than luxury, and
refinement rather than fashion; to be
worthy, not respectable; and wealthy,
not rich; to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly; to listen to
stars and birds, babes and sages, with
open hearts; to bear all cheerfully, do
all bravely, await occasions, hurry
never; in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious, grow up
through the common.
This is to be my symphony.

Parents make a great mistake In
thinking that their children must have
only the most expensive toys, and that
II they cannot have these it is scarcely
worth while to give them any. Statis-
tics in any family prove the falsity of
this idea.
The children of luxury who are sur
rounded by all that love and money
can provide almost invariably take
some strange and inexplicable fancy to
ten-cent whistle or an old haIf-muti-
lated doll, from which they would not
part for love or money.
Then there is the other extreme of
the mother who boasts of providing
her children only with the cheapest
possible playthings, $50 that they may
break or tear them up as much as they
please" This is scarcely a good sys-
TEN to instil into youthful minds, it
would seem. For there is no use in
teaching a child to destroy property
whether it be cheap or expensive. 1t
is much better to teach them to take
proper care Of playthings, so that they
may be passed on to less fortunate lit
tie people in fairly good condition when
their first little owners have grown
tired of them.
