on sandbar and wouldn't be along
until eleven o'clock at night, we
went out to the boat landing to find
the crowd standing in the cold wind
without any shelter. But soon a
capable looking lady made stir
and someone came and opened
building into which we went and
sat around on boards and boxes and
chests and paint pots, glad to be
anywhere out of the wind, until our
boat came to take us home, which
we reached tired and hungry but
pleased with our trip and planning
to go up the Manatee river soon.
WeMere all glad to see the Fair
childs family. They are located
near Mr.. Acers' with only praise for
their landlady, who does everything
to make them comfortable. We
hear Of some who charge much and
furnish little for the comfort of their
guests.
Mr.. Acers and Mr.. Sherwood are
waiting for high tide so they can
get the boat out for another fishing
trip. When they do go we have
plenty of fish and some to spare.
OF late their chief occupation has
been going after the mail, for what
is SO pleasant to the the tourists as
letters, and the home papers. Politics,
stories, poems and news, we read
them all and wonder how SO much
good reading can be printed every
week.
But there is sadness for us many
times in the home papers for they
tell us that old friends are passing
away, and that we shall miss many
greetings and the warm clasp Of
loving hands that have laid aside
their work for ever. How we shall
miss them at our home coming!
The winter is just flying and We
shall soon be packing our trunks
for the homeward journey. But i
seems queer to call the bright warn
!, weather we have had winter. Oul
doors and windows have been oper
most of the time, and for days to
gether we would not have a fire il
the heater. But to-day has beer
colder so that fire was enjoyable
Friends who were here last evening
said we were to have frost, but w
hope they are mistaken.
Now the tide is out and | have n
! time to write more for Mrs. Acer
and l are going after clans.
i With kindest regards to th
Democrat and all our friends.

Japan is Hostile.


Try ever so hard, the Washington
authorities are unable to conceal the
fact that Japan is hostile, and in
clined to be arrogant and exac.ing
in her dealings with this country.
When this country joined with
Great Britain and helped furnish
the money which helped Japan to
prosecute a successful war against
Russia, this country made mis-
take, and this paper repeatedly said
during the progress Of that war thai
it was mistake for the United
States to side with Japan.

A Florida Letter.

St. Petersburg, Fla, Jan 30, 1907.
ED1roRs DEMOCRAT: The tourists
of Acres Cottage are comfortable,
although they find the weather rath-
er too warm sometimes. But when
they read of the snow and sleet and
zero weather in Iowa they are re-
signed to little extra firing by old
sol, and getting out on the shadiest
balcony they keep cool and let him
shine. Usually we have all the
breeze we want. This winter has
been unusually dry but last week
we had rain, and wind enough 10
stir the bay up finely. Some of us
were sorry when it was bed time
and we could no longer watch the
white capped waves rolling shore
ward. We are getting much at
tached to Tampa Bay. In it or on
it, by daylight or by moonlight it is
always delight to us.
When | was visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Mohr they took us in a row
boat over to the Gulf by way Of
Johns Pass. The long faced Peli-
cans on the sandbars and the silvery
sea gulls flew up as we drew near
reminding me of a swarm of bees.
We found oysters near some islands
and picked up a pail full. Mr..
Mohr opened some and they were
fine addition to our lunch which
we ate in the shade of a mangrove
tree. Mr.. and Mrs. Mohr carry their
years lightly, being cheered by the
company Of their son with his ex-
cellent wife, and their two children.
One day some Petersburg ladies
had an excursion over to Fort Dade
and Miss Lyman and I, wanting q
boat ride, went with them. We
were surprised to see so many on
the boat when it came to the land
ing for us but learned that Tam
pa church society was having an ex-
cursion too and selling lunches right
and left. We looked like a crowd
but the Captain said there was only
four hundred Of us. We had a love-
]y ride over to the Fort and found
that it, too, was built on the sand.
But there were palmetto trees and
bananas and good garden, and the
bright lantanas were blooming for
our benefit. We found cosy place
in what the drill masters called the
canning house in which to eat our
lunch, after which the artillery-men
gave drill for the excursionlsts,
1t was interesting but when the Wis.
itors poked their heads away into
the great guns it made us feel u lit.
tie creepy. The outside of them
was enough for us.
Later we went across the Key te
the Gulf where the waves tried tc
catch us as we picked up a few little
shells. After climbing TO the TOP
of the Lighthouse, and sitting awhile
on the gallery where joker tried to
scare us by saying that our boat was
