EATS A BIG APPLE DUMPING.
That's What This Man Has Done at
Every Meal for 20 Years.

1OA @@O
Horace Morse of Skykomish,
Wash, for more than twenty years
has enjoyed his apple dumplings
every meal Hot or cold, the apple
dumplings, brown sugar and rich
cream must be on the table or HOr-
ace Morse is angry
So accustomed has Morse become
to his favOrite food that he never
goes away from home and will not
permit his wife to stay more than
over night, and she cannot leave un-
til there is an ample supply of apple
dumping to last the old man until
she returns.
Mrs. Morse possibly has baked
more apple dumplings than any 9TH
er woman, for she says that as regu-
larry as daylight comes she shoves
a pan of monster dumplings into the
oven for Horace.
Morse began eating apple dump
lings because of stomach trouble.
He eats nc meat, bread and no vege-
tables, with the exception of rad

HAS ONE THOUSAND KEYS.
4 Unique County in Florida Largely
Made Up of Islands.

Monroe county is the most unique
county in Florida, if not in the
United States. The larger portion
of the county is made up of a group
of islands, or as they are called,
keys, both on the east and west
coasts. The only part Of Monroe
county on the mainland is the Cape
Sable country, the extreme south end
of the United States on the main
land. The larger portion of this land
is what is known as the Everglades,
and but limited number of acres
are now under cultivation.
What effect the proposed drainage
of the Everglades will have in Mon
roe county is not known but it is
doubtful if any large areas will be
drained because of the flatness of
the country and being so near sea
level. In the vicinity of Cape Sable
there are large bodies of rich allu-
vial land, and a considerable guam
tity has been under cultivation for
several years past. All kinds of
tropical and semi-tropical fruit trees
grow luXuriantly on the keys and
bear full crops of fruit each year.
Every key is surrounded with water,
and the great portion of them have
clean, white sand beaches with bluffs
varying in height above highwater
mark. All of these building sites
are in full view of either the ocean,
gulf or bays.
