The Land of Fruit and Flowers.

\ good story is told of Florida and
one of the young lady tourists who ar
rived in Daytona soon after the Deem
Der freeze. She came to Florida expect
ing to be greeted in every direction by
clustering fruits and bowers of fragrant
flowers, but her keen disappointment at
beholding an entire absence of such a
pleasing picture can better be imagined
than described. She remarked to a
friend that before her departure from
home she Was told that Florida was
land of fruit and flowers But" she
naively added, THE only fruit have
observed here is in cans. and the only
flowers in evidence are those displayed
on the labels"

probably changed her mind, as even the
woods are now full Of both fruits and

Did Walsh think he was a Maverick ?
 Guess Seabaugh is all right His swats seem to come in pinches.
 Who will lose first. Harry Vaughn or John Malarky?
 Again the question is most pertinent. what is Brooklyn in baseball for?
 Both of the St Louis clubs won yes- terday-the Cardinals beating poor old Brooklyn. Shame on you to jump on cripples!
 The western clubs followed up their yesterday, Nashville being the cnly eastern club to win.
 Looks like Malarky's crowd have got . ten an option on eXtra-inning games
 out of the five games played by Mont gomery in the west, they have won one. tied two in fifteen innings each. and lost two. one of those going eleven in nlngs. That's not so bad.
