The world is favored with many
lands that have inspired the songsof
poets and the eloquence of forums.
They are lands transcendent with
the charms whichin every age e.have
impelled men to pioneer-which
have lured men of vision, brain
and sinew ever onward to a great
er destiny. Such land is today
calling for the constructive ener-
gies of as pronounced a virile
manhood. 1t is the land of sup-
kissed peninsula of Florida, where
resources seem interminable;
where the beauty of scenery, va
ried, fascinating, enthralls the
traveller like no other place on
earth, because there is no other
place on earth like it; where the
climate is a wonderful contribu-
tive to health, growth and joy of
living, and where the hospitality
Of the people is genuine and whole
some.
South Florida has everything
which diversified climate and great
modern facilities can offer to the
men of the nation of va"ying pur-
suits. But this country has more.
1t has character and optimism.
And upon this foundation it is
building an empire of prosperity
and peace that is TO benefit not only
its own but the entire state, for be
it known that this immediate ter
ritory furnishes greater part of
material wealth of the state.
Within its confines we find phos-
phate, and greater percentage
of standing timber and the by-pro-
ducts of this timber; we find the
citrus belt, and the great vegeta.
BILE center, and a section that by
the last census shows over 100 per
cent growth, while that of the en-
tire state has but ~ per cent. De-
velopment has been going forward
especially during the last decade,
with telling strokes and certain
time. There has been ceaseless
digging for the riches that abound
at every turn. And yet, develop
ment has been more of an awak-
ening to the unprecedented possi-
bilities of the country. Develop
ment has unfettered the large
force symbolized by trade and
commerce, advanced to an amaz-
ing extent large manufacturing
and timber interests, extended the
cultivation of vast fields of prodi-
gious soil fertility applying
science to the pillow, building
good roads and diminished hard pi-
oneering with its trail of physical
hardships.
There has been no walking
backwards in south Florida by an
exhausted country. Here work
has inyigorated; here development
has replenished, not. emptied.
Here thought has been. on tile days
TO come and not on the days that
have passed away. Nor have the
people ever stood still. Theirs
has been progressive life: theirs
a progressive religion. Move
forward has been the command.
Restless, energetic, work foving
they have anyielding struggled,
yet making few sacrifices for what
they have achieved. Nature is
kind to our people. The climate
is ideal. The soil yields abnnd-
antly to the husbandman's touch.

weight of burdens that always

PRINCE CUPID IS
 GREAT SPORTSMAN
Hawaiian Congressman Takes In. .erest in All Branches of
 Athletics

Prince Cupid who was heir appa- rent to the Hawaiian throne until Queen Lfliuokalani was given the bounce, and who now represents his native country in the United States Congress, is an all-round sportsman. His ex-Maesty, who is forty-two years old to-day, naturally specializes in aquatic sports, since there is a lot of water around the Hawaiian islands. The annual boat regatta at Honolulu is the big sporting event of the is1- ands, and every year the Prince has a crew composed of men employed on his estate entered in the canoe race. Usually his crew wins the prize. MT. name, is himself an expert in hand ling the various curious craft origin ated by the natives of the island. Yachting is his favorite sport, and he usually spends his vacation from leg islative work in cruising about the isI- ands of which he might have been king.
 Prince Cupid is a thirty-thfrd de- gree baseball fan, and has helped to populariZe the American game in Ha- waii. A baseball nine composed of Chinese Hawaiian players is now starting on a second tour of North America, and will play the leading college teams on this side. The Prince is a polished man of the world, has travelled all over the globe, and was in South Africa at the time of the Boer war.

CICOTTE OF WHITE
 SOX IS TEACHING

Another slabman has risen to take rank with Big Ed Walsh and Doc White as tutor of the young Chicago White Sox curving hopes.
 The new conner is none other than Eddie Cicotte, alias ''Knuckle-Bau Eddie" former Tiger, and for five years a member of the Boston Red SoL During practice the pudgy Frenchman, accompanied by his class, composed of Kid Smith, "Shuffling Phil'' Douglas and Mel Wolfgang, seeks a secluded spot in the yard for a postgraduate course in the manly art of knuckle-ball singing, and the lesson over, Eddie pronounced each member of his squad a conner.
 Just as Elmer Strickett coined the spitball, Doe White the saIome ball and Christy Mathewson the fadeaway, it was Cicotte who brought the knuck- Ter into the spot light of the national game. Manys the present day dia- 1nond celebrity who has mastered the knuckler after observing Cicotte.

WHEN LAGRANGE FIRST
 BROKE INTO MAJORS
Went Against Rusie and Meekin
 and Tanned Six Times

Lou Criger says about the toughest thing which can happen to a youngs- ter breaking into the major leagues is to make his debut against a pitch ing star, or a couple of them. He says that one of the most amusing things of this kind he can recall was the time Candy La Chance broke in to the National League.
 La Chance got a berth with Brook Iyn, and the latter team had a series on with New York at the time La Chance first faced Amos Rusie, then in the heyday of his career, and went down three times on strikeouts in the only three times he was legally up. Next he got Meekin and the same performance took place. La Chance in other words. had struck out six times in as many times up in two games.
 After the second game he inquired whether all of the pitchers in the Ma tioual League were good as Rusie and Meelin, and was given the cheer fr11A information that they were. La Chance started back to his belongings and quit the club, but some one per suaded him to give the league a fur ther trial. and as a result, he played for a number of years in the parent big league.

AMES AND WHSTE
 DEFEAT BEAUMONT

Beaumont, Texas, March 26-In their wanderings through Texas the Giants yesterday visited new territory. They came here and beat the home team, ycIept the Oilers, by a score of to O.. They were without the services of Capt. Doyle, who missed the train leaving Houston yesterday morning. Second base was played by Wfltse and Snodgrass. Wiltse accepted his only chance gracefully before going in to pitch, and now rivals, Hal Chase a southpaw second base guardian.
 The right field here is very short and left field very deep. MerkIe helped himself to a home run-not over the fence, either, but to deep left. Af- ter they had clubbed out six runs in the first two innings the Giants forgot how to hit. Larsen settled down and ha.ffled them for the remainder of his stay; then came Peasler, who was the stiffest opposition on the mound the Giants have faced this spring. He used a spit ball and, with a, long swing, was a. complete mystery Peas Ter held the Giants to no hits in four innings The only Giant to reach first base on him was Devore, through a tumble by the pitcher.
 All during the game the Oilers were up against pitching they could not fathom. Anes was a whirlwind, and struck out nine men. A single hit was the total off Sir Leon. Wiltse kept on with the good work New York pitchers were so busy striking out men that their fielders had little to do. Chief Meyers had a rather sad time. He was sn1itten twice by a pitched ball, and the only time he did have a fair chance to lam the ball he struck out before the chicanery of the guilefuI Pea.s1er.
