ing up to read on the threshold of
a new year: mot a few persons
will write 1907 at the head OF
their letters with a sigh at the
reminder of growing old, mot re-
alizing that maturity has its
charms and compensatioas. We
wish young people oftener had it
impressed upon them that they
may provide for a happy old age
by laying up a reserve Of sound
health and a store of happy
memories, as well as bv cultivat-
ing tastes and resources which
will outlast youth. AS for those
who are already approaching
middle. age, there is no surer
way to grow old prematurely
than to dread the future. It is
essential if we want to keep
young, to cultivate that hopeful
habit of mind SO characteristic of
youth-the hope which makes
one able to say with Browning.
The best is yet to come and
with Lucy Larson, Every year
life is larger and deeper and
more beautiful Allied with
this attitude of expectancy must
be the ability to see the amusing
side OF life. Worry and vexation
over what would better be
laughed at result in disfiguring
wrinkles. Above all, if the
years bring us, as they should,
better understanding of our
selves, a broadening of active
human sympathies, a firmer
faith in Providence, we shall find
life abundantly worth the living,
no matter what may be the
number of our birthdays"

HOW MONKEYS LEARN
Their Poyy~rs of Reasoning some
times Very Slow.


1t would be very simply matter for
a l4-months' old child to learn to pull
in, by means of a very light toy wood
en- rake, an object which it could not
reach with its hands, and yet, Jimmie.
a very tame Rhesus monkey of mine,
spent many days in trying to learn
this simple act and had not learned to
manipulate the rake when our patience
ran out. Jimmie was kept moderately
hungry all time of the experiments; he
was tethered just out of reach of some
very tempting food (malaga grapes)
A light top wooden rake was given him.
Instinctively, he grasped it, bit 1t, then
dropped it and began straining at his
tether and reaching out as far as pos
sible with his foreleg, making vain ef-
forts to scratch in his food The rake
was then put around one Of the grapes
and the handle extended towards Jim
mie. Instantly he grasped the fandi:e
as before and jerked it, and the grape
rolled within reach of his paw. The
rake was dropped and forgotten anG
the faithful paw utilized for the COM
pletion Of the act.
Now what happens when the grape
has been eaten? The rake is still with
in his reach and the grapes are still
outside the pale. Does he perceive the
relationship existing between food out
OF reach, rake will lengthen paw, ergo
use raltc?' Not Jimmie. And he is
the brightest of sex. As long as you
will kindly hook the blade Of the rake
around the grape and extend the
handle towards him, he will condescend
to pull in the rake and consequently
the grape, but he has never yet both
pushed out and then pulled in the rake

On large scale would afford a com

visited Florida in 1895. Although no.
thing was done toward starting the
grove that year. inquiries were mad
as to suitable location, character of soil

first start was made by the purchase o.

Frederick Fl. Morse of Miami, for
many years a representative OF the
Legislature from Dade county, was in
the city Monday on business connected
with the United States land office.
Mr.. Morse, who is we'll posted on all
matters along the East Coast, states
that the tourist season has started a
month earlier than usual, and that al
ready large number of clever people
from the North and West are filing
the excellent hotels and boarding hou-
ses of that section. The big hotels are
opening this year earlier than ever be-
fore, and prospects are that they will
remain open longer than usual, thus
making the present season, which has
already begun in earnest, one of the
longest and most profitable the State
has ever enjoyed
81 cannot understand why you peo-
pie of this section do not enjoy the
presence Of more tourists" Mr.. Morse
said. 1--WE all recognize this section Of
the State, and especially Alachua and
Marion counties, as substantial acquisi-
tions to the State, where the farmer
and the merchant and the 1aboring
man-in fact all the people thrive and
prosper; but you have wonderful
outlay of natural beauty, and there
should be no reason why you could
not command the large tourist business
from the traffic which comes this way
Gainesville is fine city, and I
think great deal of what I have seen
here in educational and other lines. I
note your Improvements in all lines,
because I was in Gainesville several
years ago. I notice your improve
ments in education, because the grand
old East Florida Seminary brought you
out-and I am proud now to see the
fine University buildings erected here,
which means that Gainesville will be
recognized throughout the country as
the Athens of Florida.
Gainesville is all right, and prom
ises to be one Of the leading cities of
the State, for you have the educational
advantage, you have the commercial
advantage, and you have the greatest
Of them all-the advantage of a coun-
try which God has embe1lished with all
proper diversities of that which the
soil sends forth, the advantage of land
which gives you, by natural climatic
conditions, everything which you want
to raise, and with these an advantage
in climate which is summer the wear
round, and which any living creature
ought to appreciated

believe I was the first man to attempt
the production Of grape fruit on large
scale, and that at a time when there
was a market for only limited guam
tity of fruit. I had my troubles and my
share of discouraging and costly ex-
periences and have won out, that is to
say, as far as the production in large
quantities of a very superior article is
concerned. Henceforth, such time and
ability as I may have will be devoted
to keeping the magnificent plant that
is now established, up in the highest
degree, and educating the public in the
matter of the preparation and consump-
ton of the product.
Through extensive advertising I have
already increased the consumption Of
grape fruit, not only that produced up
on our grove, but Of the fruit in
general, as we have educated the public
regarding the merits of the fruit as
diet and the demand has grown enor-
mously. Other growers naturally pro-
fit by Our advertising, but we are will
ing that they do this as we have been
we'll recompensed for Our expenditures.
Some growers formerly feared that in
growing such large quantities of fruit
we would flood the market and cause
the price to he reduced, but this was
not our purpose. On the contrary we
propose to stimulate the consumption
by supplying the market with high
grade fruit for which we shall demand
prices which will be in accord with the
merit of Our product
When we first planted 10000 trees
growers asked: What are you going
to do with all your fruit? Now we
have nearly double that number of trees
and they are asking us what we are
going to do with all OF our money?
The latter is not troubling us yet to
any great extent, but we do hope to
secure very large returns upon our in
vestment within a few years and to
increase the profit by stimulating the
consumption of this healthful and
wholesome fruit
The editor gives some additional in
formation in a foot note, which is as
follows:
"Mr. Atwood is spending thousands
OF dollars this winter with the high
class daily papers, advertising the ex-
cellencies of grape fruit in general and
Atwood Grape Fruit in particular,
which he calls the ''Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" Thanks to his en-
terprise, thousands are reading daily
the cogent reasons why they should
eat more grape fruit, with the result
that the consumption has greatly in
creased Mr.. Atwood's educational
campaign is not only making name
for the Atwood brand, but is help to
every grower of grape fruit"

and some good. The earth produces
it's fruit, animate and other kinds. The
apple tree produces its fruit after its
kind and variety, but no two specimens

1t is said, and has been said of the
old times, that all nations we're OF one
blood, and so they may be. The OK
and the ass may be Of one blood, but
they are not of the same kind nor qua

divisions of the human race. How are
we going to class, and do with them?
l have been brought to these reflections
from the fact that Tampa has become
in less than half of a decade, quite a
cosmopolitan city. Numbers of races
conduct her industries and fill her pub
lie and private offices, and as we'll, rum
and control the commercial and moral
and social elements of it's citizenship
Tampa is only smaller picture OF all
the big cities as we'll as towns and
villages. The fair favored Saxon pre-
dominates, and is counted the great
absorbent and assimilator of all other
races that he comes in contact with.
The question is, will he receive and
assimilate the various nationalities and
turn them out approved American citi-
zens? Has Uncle Sam, with his big
long jaw and boss teeth, bit off more,

bic comes in right here. How to get

literally a jungle covered with oaks,
cabbage palmettos, scrub palmetto and
vines On the 10Th of August, 1896,
the clearing was begun on the first
100 acres Predictions were freely
made that the land could not be suffl-
GENTLY cleared and drained for the
setting out of the trees in less than
five years. Five hundred men were
put to work and in just four months
that 100 acres was cleared, trees were
removed, trunk, stump and root; drain
age bitches were cut and the tract
entirely fenced, and in January, 1897,
sixteen thousand trees were planted.
In order to procure this number Of
trees it was necessary to purchase from
nearly every nurseryman in the state.
We are indebted to Professor Weber
of the Agricultural Department for
many suggestions in regard to varieties,
foundation stock, etc. From that time
until 1904 we have been increasing the
number of trees until now We have in
the aggregate about $4,000 trees COW
ering $50 acres Dwelling houses have
been built for the help, store on the
place for supplies, dock 1900 feet
long, double width, at which three large
steamers can stand at one time, a
packing house of corrugated steel near
ly 100 feet square, equipped with all
modern appliances for the handling of
the grapefruit from $4,000 trees and
various other buildings-tool houses,
cleaning houses, etc. More than $780,
600 has been expended in perfecting the
plant with view to producing a ST.
perior quality of grape fruit. The soil
condition was carefully considered, and
it is believed that there is not in the
world an area, equal to that Of the
Manavista grove that is better adapted
to the production of superlatively fine
fruit.
To the matter of varieties we have
also given great attention, and have
made some costly Mistakes For ex-
ample, fully 5000 large, bearing trees
have been cut back to the stumps for
the purpose of rebuilding to more de-
sirab1e varieties, as it is our intention
to produce not only a large quantity
of great fruit, but that Of quality
which is unequaled by any other grow
er
There have been many discouraging
conditions to overcome there was
much adverse criticism of our judg
ment in attempting to produce grape
fruit on such scale, when, as matter
of fact, thousand boxes would have
g1utted any market in the world at
that time. We believed then and be-
lieve now that grape fruit was and is
the coming fruit; that aside from the
fact it is one of the most delicious OF
fruits, it is health keeper and health
restorer; that it's popularity, both pre-
sent and future, is and will be main
tanned.
Entirely aside from the large profit
that is now being made out Of the
Atwood Grape Fruit Grove, it is espe-
cially gratifying to me to have my
Judgment confirmed by the most in
te11igent people in the country.
1t is always a satisfaction to win,
