A NEW NUT FOR FLoRIDA-A Ro-
NANCE ALONG WITH 1T

The Miami Metropolis says that
Lieut.. John T. Walsh, formerly of the
English army, has purchased ten
acres of land at or near Lemon City,
and will plant a nut, from which he
expects to make a fortune. The nut
has the meat OF inc cocoanut and the
shell of the pecan.
The story is told by the Metropolis,
and it is newspaper that never tells
anything which needs sailing, al
though the article sounds a little nut
ty." Here is the story:
while at the battle of Ladysmith
Mr.. Walsh formed the acquaintance
of genuine hero, although the man.
ner in which he achieved fame is out
of the ordinary channels. The man
was an officer in the Irish Fusileers-
the crack fighting regiment of the en-
tire war, and it was while the rank
and file of the English army was ex-
OODNA W q OCONAS NAO0O al I'LL JIM III Z
that the incident occurred which indi-
rectly led to his learning about the
! pecan-cOcOanut-w is the name of
the new fruit which Mr.. Wash hopes
to introduce into Dade county. The
Fusileers had a pet goat, the regi-
ment's mascot, and the animal got
away and ran down the line of leaden
hail to the horror of every Irishman
in the ranks. Mr.. Wash's friend got
up, and despite protests and COM
mands of other officers, started
through the shower of bullets after
the goat. Shells were shrieking over
head with dreadful fury; machine
guns were pouring their deadly mis-
siles across the clear; bullets Kissed a
spiteful and detestable welcome, and
ever and anon some poor fellow would
suddenly spring up and roll over
again, hands pressed againts his sides
or brow in death agony, and eyes fix
ed upon an ebbing vision of home Mr.
WalSh's friend captured the goat.
however, and brought it back to the
line, and the sheer bravery of the
! deed made the warm-hearted Irish
man a friend for life. The man con-
fided to Mr. Walsh that the pigmy
tribes near Victoria Nyanza had rear
ed the goat on a strange kind of CO.
coanut, which was a combination of
the regular cocoanut and the pecan
nut, and that at some future time, if
they ever lived through the horrors of
war, he would show Mr. Walsh how
to make fortune with the big berry.
The inside of the nut was like any
cocoanut, the only difference being
the shell, which was that of a pecan.
The nuts are very nourishing"

An Evening in June, With Alice and

The clouds were dispersed, and the
lightning was DER
The crimson of evening illumfned
the sky,
And soft, pattering rain as it dropped
ashore,
Gleam'd bright with the tint of
earth's emerald dye.
The swallows were sweeping the
fields of the air.
The mock-bird sang forth from its
leafv retreat,
And the fow'rs. renewed in their
bloom, smiled as fair
AS the long promised land at the Is
raelites feet.
Beside us the roses and lilies were
spread.
The pink and carnation of delicate
The columbine lifted the pride of it's
head,
And the dial of the sunfower was
thrown to the west.
The butterfly futtered on wings of
delight,
While the bee. on her errand of in
dustry bent.
Was rif1ing the blooms, at the fall of
the night,
For a MONDAY Of raining in idle
ness spent.
To tie main, to the hill-tops, with
love-beaming eye.
Rejoicing you turned, and their
looks were as calm
AS the beautiful arch of that deep az
ure sky,
Whose aspect was holy, whose
zephyr was balm.

THE BRIDE

The orange blossom crowns her,
The bridal satin gowns her
The happy anthems ring;
Glrlhood's gay reign is over
She goes to meet her lover
While Eden's voices sing.
, The marriage VOW is spoken
me wedding bread is broken
With blessings and tears;
These two set out together,
through storm and sunny weather,
To journey through the year.
Fate send your choicest dover.
Great joy and plenty shower,
From blue and kindly skies;
Earth's music and its laughter,
And gladness ever after,
And love that never dies.
So life goes on forever,
Hands join no more to sever,
The roses crown the June!
and down in the aisle a-swinging,
We hear the angels singing,
A joyous hymnal tune.
