established business. which, however, was
not as prosperous as it had once BEEN
From my mother came mining stocks and
bonds which had until recently paid high
dividends, though not SO high as when
her father had invested some forty thou
sand dollars in them.
When twenty years old I married the
sweetest little woman in the world, at
least [ thought so then, and [ think so
now She has never succeeded in dis
enchanting me, though she says she has
tried all her life. But she didn't 60 the
right way to work, [ suppose. By the
time [ was twenty -four, my business,
owing to heavy losses through the failure
of several creditors, and depressed COM
mercial conditions, had reached a stage
in which the only safety from utter ruin
lay in closing it out. This did, and in

remained to me after all my debts were
paid, in a small cattle ranch some few
miles out of the city. had always
loved the country, and so had my wife,
therefore it was without regret that we
bade farewell to our city home and
moved out on our own land, on which
there was no rent to pay over into the
hands of landlord That was clear
saving of three hundred dollars year,
whereat we rejoiced. AS my Mollie said,
we had paid fifteen hundred dollars in
five years for mere roof over our heads,
and might have kept on for twenty years
more, and then would not have owned
brick in the chimney or plank in the
floors.
We moved out on the ranch in the late
spring when nature was beginning to
wake up from her long, frozen sleep, and
vegetation was beginning to look as if it
had some life left in it. Through the
brief summer and the comparatively mild
autumn days, we were as joyous and
happy as two children out on a lark.
Our little folks, the blessed twins, waXed
fat and strong as. they had never been
before in their cramped city home. My
dear wife, always delicate, likewise felt
the tonic effects of the free country life,
plenty of rich milk and cream, fresh
vegetables and fruit, to say nothing of
the new home interests. For every land
owner knows that it makes one feel
proud and contented to sit down under
ones own vine and fig tree, and to know
that no other fellow has the power to
turn him out, and that all the fixing up
and improvements are not for the benefit
of someone else. That's the way my
wife and I felt about living in our own
home ,and the work we did, and the work

CHAPTER |.
Looking Backward.

Someone has said. someone who knows
or ought to know, that the story of how
[ came to Florida, and of what did and
how did it after got there, would be
help to others situated today as [ was
twenty five years ago Well, it may be
SO, for certain it is that the experiences
of other men as told in the Florida Ag-
riculturist all those long years ago, had
everything to do with my final resolve to
pull up stakes out of frozen ground and
drive them firmly into the warm soil of
Florida.
And so, if my story of haps and mis-
haps, of encouragements and discourage
ments, of successes and failures, of good
fortune and i'll, and of all that [ learned
thereby, can be of use to anyone, why,
| am ready to tell all about it. Fortu-
nately [ can do this with needful ac-
curacy, tracing my course from day to
day; because at the instance of my wise
little wife, kept full record of all my
experiences and experiments and their
results; of all the family happenings too,
setting down every night the doings
of the day just past. And an excellent
thing this is for every man to do who
wishes to know just what he is doing all
the while, and where his mistakes oc-
Cured, and now, likewise, his successes.
[ was born and brought up in what
has now become one of our greatest
Northwestern cities, where warmth
reigns but little more than four months
out of the twelve, with bitter cold and
snow and ice and eathdealing blizzards
claiming the other eight months as their
own. 1t is fertile country, famous for
it's immense fields of wheat, loved by
some rugged natures for it's very bleak
ness, but never by me. Yet the force of
habit and environment made me, like
many another grumbler, slow to wake
up to the fact that there was a more
genial climate to which [ might flee if
only I could make up my mind to sever
old customs and familiar landmarks from
out my daily life; not an easy or pleas
ant task, [ admit, but often the wisest
course to pursue.
[ inherited a goodly fortune from my
parents, who both died young, done to
death by the bleak climate in which their
lot was cast. My father left me we'll

we planned for the future was something
wonderful to us-and to our friends. We
knew the latter folks were having their
fun out OF our enthusiasm, but little we
cared for that.
The bulk of my stocks was in one
silver mine, the bonds those of certain
railroad. All at once the mine shut
down. The silver lode had come to an
abrupt end; it had been worked for
years, paying less and less, until all at
once it's stock owners found their stock
not worth the paper it was written on.
That was fearful blow to me, my in
come reduced one-half. But We consoled
ourselves as best we might by the
thought of the railroad bonds and the
sale of our cattle and sheep in the spring.
How could we dream that the railroad
was so heavily involved in debt that it
would be put in the hands of receiver,
and found utterly insolvent? Or that
terrible blizzard and continuous snow on
the ground would freeze and starve to
death all our cattle and sheep? Yet
that is what happened. Our income was
gone, and gone beyond hope of recov-
cry. The one thing left which could be
converted into money was our little
ranch, our home!
Did we sit down in despair? No.
Left to myself, [ might have done SO,
being mere man, but [ had better

''Our home!'' exclaimed. ''And where

no money left to 60 into business again.
The best [ could do would be to get a
cIerkship and rent small house in
town.
ooh, what dear old goose you are!"
exclaimed the plucky little woman, her
big brown eyes fairly sparkling, "don't
you see what we can do when we have
sold this ranch and have shaken off the
last of the fetters that have chained us
fast to this bleak spot ?"
She flourished the last copy of the good
old Florida Agriculturist over my head.
We had taken the paper for years, for,

ingly towards home in that sunny land
but had never seen our way to raise our
anchor from it's old moorings. But now

McGraw still has M~atthewson, Wiltse,

for the first division place. Hereto

twirlers Will cause many a National

the Giants out of the pennant last

With the opening of the big league
championship baseball season but a
little over a month away there is
already much discussion as to the
merits of the teams in the two major
leagues and the probable positions the
respective teams will occupy at the
close of the season.
At this time both the American
and National league races promise to
develop into four club fights. with
he same four clubs in each league
finishing in the first division as was
the case in 1908. Chicago, New York,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia loom up as
the National league pennant factors.
while Detroit. Cleveland, st. Louis and
Chicago will probably fight it out in
the American.
Chances Chicago Cubs will start
the season without the services of
their premier second baseman, Johnny
Evers, who insists that he will not join
the club until June /. In the mean
time Chance will content himself with
Zimmerman guarding the middle sta
ton and although q fair fielder and
consistent sticker, Chicago fans do
not look upon Zimmerman as Evers'
equal in either run getting or all
around field work and the loss of the
little second sacker will be keenly
felt.
Many shrewd baseball men look for
a break at third base in the Cur
team as Harry Steinfeldt is getting
pretty well along in years and many
are Of the opinion that Harry will
be the first of the regulars to shoot
his bolt"
Otherwise the Chicago club is a.
formidable as ever with the same
staff of pitchers-Brown, overall,
Pfeister, Reulbach. Frazer, Coakley
and Rip" Hagerman from Topeka.
Chance. Zimmerman, Tinker and
Steinfeldt will make up the infield
while Browne, Schultz, Sheckard,
Stanley, Slagle and Kane will fight
it out for the outer garden positions.
Johnny King and Moran will do the
bulk of the backstop work, with one
or two youngsters to help out in emcr
gencies.
