Five Acres of Land in Florida.

Editor National Tribune: We were
recent visit to the colony about what
men are doing raising fruits and vege-
tables in Florida. If half is true, those
who have five acres at St. Cloud have
enough land on which to make a coed
living. When crops can be grown every
month in the year one man will find
plenty to do to till five acres Crops
of various kinds can be cultivated
among citrous and nut trees. / saw a
ffve-acre tract across the railroad track
from the hotel at Kissimmee with as
fine corn growing as any i ever saw in
the North. and Yet 1t is said that Flor
Ida is not corn country. Mr.. Woodall,
who was cultivating this patch, had
planted a quart of wonder" snap
beans along a few rods of this corn,
and he told us that he had already
gathered about 10 bushels of beans.
and expected as many more. Pump
kins were also growing among the corn
rows. Before he put in the corn he
had in crop of Irish potatoes. II
everything went well with him from
now till January his income from the
tract for the year would amount 70
more than $500. ! saw stalk from
a field at the south end of the lake
that contained eight ears of corn.
do not see why we cannot make st
Cloud a splendid town and community
1t is simply a question of Intelligent
and harmonious effort The climate
Is all that could be hoped for. We
thought, of course, that the mosketos
would eat us up, but to the wonder OF
all we were not troubled in the least
and old settlers told us that there was
little need of netting or windows and
doors to keep them out. The Longer
we live the more we find out. We
we're also told that If Northern people
really knew what the Summer climate
OF Florida was Ike they would come
down and make the State a Summer
resort, as 1t is now Winter resort
The National Tribune has not over
stated what is possible in Florida
Northern men going there will make II
q great State. The natives do not APP
preciate their opportunities. A living
is so easily made that one does moi
need TO exert himself very much. There
are no heavy expenses for fuel and
clothing, and these are important items
IN the North. The healthfulness of the
Kissimmee Valley is not questioned
and from what We would learn we be-
neVe that men who feel the effects OF
Northern cold will add comfortable
years to their lives by spending their
last days in Florida. 1 am 76 years
old, and expect to spend E. good many
years in Florida.-D. A. Smith. High

THE DISTURBING NEWFOUND-
LANDERS.
More Trouble from the Stubborn
Islanders

Newfoundland is the spider in Cam
ada's dumping. Canada wants New
foundland to come into the Dominion
so rs to secure territorial integrity and
do away with host of annoying COM
merciai ard tariff enibarrassments but
Newfoundland stubbornly stays out of
the Confederation, and the most dam
gerous charge that Newfoundland
candidate can make against his conf
petitor is that he favors union with
Canada. Newfoundland has only 22O,-
600 population, but they have ALWAYS
made more trouble than many millions
1t would have paid the United States.
Great Britain, France or Canada TO
have bought them out long ago, at any
fancy price that they might ask for all
they own. The trouble is all about the
Goldfish. Newfoundland is near the
greatest fishing banks in the world, and
the Newfoundlanders think they own
all the Goldfish in the Atlantic Ocean.
For nearly 500 years they have kept up
incessant trouble. and embroiled the
Nations which have great fishery inter-
ests. They helped much to bring about
the war which lost Canada to France.
and since then they have repeatedly
brought Great Britain perilously near
to war with the United States and
France. Our 10. standing dispute with
Great Britain over the rights and privi-
reyes oI our Hsnermen Is even now be-
fore The Hague for arbitration The
main objection of the Newfoundlanders
to entering into the confederation is
that Canada will concede privileges to
french and American fishermen in eX-
change for trade concessions.
1t is rather droll to see so much of
the time of the President of the United
States taken up in keeping peace be-
tween the United States and Germany
All the same. the United States has be-
come the greatest peace preserver in
the world, and our big fleet is paying its
cost many times over in this work

A Comrade OF Georgia.

Capt. Benjamin Warren has Joined
the colony. but is now living at St
George, Ga. He is a comrade with a
notable record. Before the war he was
a boy Captain of a company of artillery
the U. S. Navy made trip around the
world in an old line of battleship. He
took part in the naval operations In the
Mexican War. then went to California
by the way of Cape Horn to dig gold;
came back to lower Massachusetts and
engaged in manufacturing. He had a
fine business when the call for troops
came, and at once marched with the
9Th Mass. to Washington. After that
regiments term was out he raised a
company for the 26th Mass, which he
commanded In the Gulf and afterwards
in the Shenandoah Valley.

Pleased With the St. Cloud Colony.

Editor National Tribune: 1t is said
that seeing is believing. We have never
doubted the sincerity of The National
Tribune in its advocacy of the Florida
Colony for old soldiers, and now that
we have seen the land and experienced
something of the Florida Summer eli
mate we are well convinced that the
success of the colony is altogether a
matter of practical effort on the part of
the men and women who will constitute
its citizenship. The soil of the property
included in the st. Cloud Colony site
will produce almost anything known to
American agriculture. There is plenty
of good water and it is easily obtained.
The climate is right and there is no
doubt about good health conditions.
Live stock, poultry and bees all do
well. Cattle and hogs are given no at
tention from start to finish. They are
left TO skirmish for their own living in
all seasons. AS in the West cattle rails
ing has been profitably followed in all
parts of Florida, and owners have not
favored the occupancy of the forested
and open ranges by fruit and truck
farmers, and TO maintain monopoly
have encouraged the belief that the
soil of Florida generally was too poor
to raise anything except grass. And
Notwithstanding the variety Oh HatlNe
vegetation the opinion is widespread
that cultivated plants would not do
we'll. The success attending the work
of men who did not believe this he's
gone so far that now there is no doubt
about Florida soil not being able 10 do
most anything. All that is needed is
the man to do it. We went well over
the colony property and believe that no
mistake was made when the colony
for the comrades was located on the
south shore of Lake Tohopekaliga.
The name of the lake is a Seminole In
dian word and had its origin from the
notes or call of bird formerly COM
mon in that vicinity, but now extinct.
The lakes of Osceola County are not
swampy, but have sandy bottoms and
shores, and abound with fish. Barrels
of fish from these lakes are Shipped
almost daily to points as far away as
Kansas City. There is still lots of tim
ber and lumber for building purposes;
can be had as low as s12 per thou
sand.-D. M. Pry, Burgettstown, Pa.

A Mistaken Physician.

A doctor and member of the faculty
of Washington University. St. Louis,
committed suicide by taking prussic
acid. He believed himself doomed on
account of q diseased artery. The law
yers have a proverb that lawyer who
manages his own case has fool for a
client, end the same may be said to be
true OF physicians. The doctors who
had ext mined him declared that he had
no sucf trouble as he imagined. Things
like this give q basis for Christian
