A PLEASANT TRIP
THROUGH THE NORTH

Editor Star: 1 thought that a brief
sketch OF my trip would interest your
readers.
I sailed from Jacksonville Aug 20
on the Mohawk. The weather was
perfect the sea calm and / enjoyed
the voyage to New York very much.
1 took the Robert Fulton day line
steamer up the Hudson River to AL
bany. The Hudson is very pretty. the
scenery Is beautiful. After seeing the
capital city Of Albany took the train
for Buffalo. After seeing the sights.
visited Niagara Falls. and as 1 stood
on the banks Of the great gorge. 1t
seemed TO me that the echo Of the fall
whispered. Behold the beauty Of ma
ture and contemplate the universe In
which you dwell" This Is an endless
picture of beauty. From Niagara
visited my friend. Miss McCulloch Of
Ridgetown. Ontario. which is a beau
tiful little city. While in the city
was the guest Of King Edwards cou-
sin and was entertained by the kings
counsel, a noted lawyer in Canada
visited the fair in Toronto. which was
a grand success. The display was gor-
geous. Toronto Is the most modern
city in Canada-most like an Amer
lean city. / stopped at the Queens
Hotel. The service Is second to mono.
1t has the best French servants and
they are noted for their extreme DO
likeness. 1 took the steamer Ontario
up the ST. Lawrence River, through
the Thousand Islands and the rapids
to Montreal. This is grand trip
from start to finish. On the right
shore of the river fiutters from every
house top an American flag. and on
the Canadian side every house has a
Canadian nag and union Jack. The
flags present beautiful picture as
they wave in the breeze Montreal Is
an old French city with narrow
streets and old stone structures. One
can inhale the old French cOnserva-
tive spirit in the air. They never
seem to get in a hurry. They say
We American people use up too much
energy hurrying through life. 1 am
in love with Canada. 1t is pretty and
picturesque.
visited Lake Erie. French Lake
and Lake Ontario. OF the three I think
Lake Erie the prettiest. Crossing the
river from Canada to Detroit 1 had a
very funny experience with the Gus

and l felt quite proud to have out
talked a customs officer Detroit is a
very pretty city.
In Baltimore / spent three weeks
very pleasantly. sight seeing and Wis
ting friends. 1 spent several days in
WaShingtOn: visited all the places OF
interest and could have spent a month
in the Congressional Library This Is
one of the chief attractions Of the
capital city. To me the money mint was
the most interesting sight. To say
the least Uncle Sam Is very close with
his money.
At present, 1 am in New York, Wis

many Ocala citizens, as they visited
Ocala last summer. To know this es-
timable and hospitable family means
to love them.
