swamps and N. w Florida are not
disease breeding holes but are cool,
Shady, quiet, beauty spots where ma
ture is shown at her best, the water
found there Is clear and ebbs and
flows with the tides of the bayous.
Martha's way led through the piney
woods and over blackjack ham
mocks, going down 4 hill at the foot
of which was a small fresh water
stream Spawned by a rustic bridge
she noticed very heavy bamboo
-creeper. It was hanging in such
! thick folds that It hooked like a cur
tain and Martha decided to see what
was back of that curtain. Upon ex-
animation she found that the bamboo
had grown upon two oaks and hung
down from their branches, there oaks
were heavily draped with Spanish
moss, she went around the curtain,
it was impossible to go through it,
forcing her way threugh the under
brush she came upon a scene of such
perfect beauty, such quiet, peaceful
restfulnass that as she said words
failed to do justice to it, The
stream had widened to a deep, still
pool completely hidden from the
chance. passerbY by the bamboo cur
tain. the Spanish moss and the dense
underbrnsh. The water was SO deep
and shaded that It was almost black
and in this water grew dozens of the
famed Crinum with their umbels of
large lily like flowers, six or eight
to the spike, among them was the
! .OEontium or golden club, with its
leng, round waxen blossom, resemb-
ling candle 50 perfectly that it is
sometimes called the candle plant
The blossom is round and hard, some
times over q foot long, and is white

face of the water and as in q mirror
these beauties were reflected. It
was her first view OF the crinum and
ororntium where nature had planted
! them and they far exceeded any ever
seen in private collections.

had believed that Darwin was correct

All through Martha Holcomb's
tramp she had but one idea in view
and that was to reach Florida.
We have been close friends for
years and she has given me permits
sion to tell her experiences, hoping
thereby to benefit others Of her sex
who find life too hard for comfort
Many years ago when B. O. Flow
er was editing The Arena he wrote
for and published in his magazine
an article entitled, "The City Bean
tifup' in which he described city
built by Helen Wilmans, at that time
noted mental science healer.
The article was beautifully illus
trated and many resident of -the
frozen north had the full page pic
lures framed for their libraries and
those pictures implanted in my
friends mind the desire and the pur-
pose to visit Florida.
With health and strength, both of
body and mind fully restored she
made good time travelling "as the
crow flies" getting a lift here and
there as the farmers and market
gardeners saw her on the road in her
garb of the boy tramp.
At last she reached Pensacola and
stayed there q week visiting the
many places of interest.
A training ship of Japan came into
the harbor and she saw the navy
boys while they were on shore leave,
Clean visaged, clear eyed, straight
upright carriage, fine looking mer
they were, though small. Polite
and quiet. sAnd these we cal
heathen," she said to herself, as the!
walked along the street, eager syee
and yet keeping step and pushing nc
one off the side walk.
While in Pensacola She heard Of
"Uncle Sans goodness, who woule
give anyone home-for consider
alton, SO she investigated the matte
and found that anyone by conipfyin,
with the requirements could have |
home in Florida
She took UP her way again on tn
open road, though the road now la!
through underbrush and tangled vine
/ In reading over her journal l fine
that nothing escaped her keen eye'
as. she followed the trail day by day
She writes: "What surprise
greets one in these words! Dainty
wee flowers orchid like in shape AM

/ eye Of any but those of the keenes
observer, vivid yellows ana red witt
masses of pure white varying from

tina has changed her opinion and
agrees with Peter Henderson that
Darwin was mistaken and that it is
merely an accident that insects are
imprisoned in the cup and digested
by the plant, for she has observed
closely and made many experiments
which, to her at least, proves that the
great scientist made one mistake.
And so on and on Martha tramped,
hunting the home of her dreams, "All
places here have beauties of their
own but none suit exactly" she said
one night as she built her fire to pre-
pare her coffee and to be comfort
able, for the evenings were growing
cool.
In the morning she followed q
trail for few rods when q body Of
water, smooth and clear as crystal
burst upon her view. The rays Of
the morning sun sparkled and CLINT
ed, and as she looked into the water
she saw fish of many varieties laz-
ily swimming by. A red bird whis-
tied above her head and wren SWELL
ed his throat in song. The tall, long
needle pines reared their heads a1oft
as though keeping guard. A sigh
of JOY escaped her and she exclam-
ed "Alabama!"
At last she had found the place
of her dreams, the place of which t.
build home in every sense of ths
word, surrounded with such beauties
of nature, with perfect health ard a

She dotted her boys garb, clothes
herself in the grey travelling suit
found her way to the landing, inquir

that boat was leaving that day and
before night she had filed her claim
to 100 acres Of government land.

THE CHRISTIAN" AT
 LYCEUM MONDAY

When Viola Allen brought out The Christian in New York, she gave to the stage living monument. The story in novel form had been read by over 100, O0O,0O0 persons in the Unit ed States Hal Gains star was in the ascendant, his zenith had been reached and today the play has all those appealing qualities that it first represented.
 Mr. Cross is trying to offer to the New Britain public a series of plays that have dramatic value, and yet are not lurid. The Christian is a high
 class Melo-drama that clothed in refinement, and with a superior cast, makes it's impression as being a so- .ciety play. So one can understand what very excellent drama MT. Cross is offering next Monday.
 The Christian is written in a pro- logue, and four acts. The prologue is laid on the Isle of Man and takes place several years before the four acts of the play. Act I, is in a fash ionable London Music Hall where Glory Quayle makes her concert debut. Act IT is in the church of John storm at Soho while Act III takes place in Glory's apartments in LOnQOn. In faCt every chance IS given the producers to lay themselves out, and this they have done. Scenic artist Futile has painted four won- derful sets and all the properties have been carefully prepared The cast will be a notable one.
 Several members have played in the play before. MT. Cross will assume the role of John Storm, and there is no doubt but that he will fill it cap ably. Ralph Collier as Drake and J. l. Scott as Archdeacon Wealthy should excel. Mr. VintOn, MT. Hen ley, MT. Scott, MT. Jarrett and MT Sheffield, all have interesting char acters Miss Julie Herne will play Glory Quale, and should make as big hit in it as she did in Within the Law The dear old Mrs. Caldener. will be played by Miss Morton. Polly Love by Elsie Southern, while Let tie, Nettie, Betty and Liza. will be played by the Misses Ruth Byron, Jordan, Brant and Municle The Charity Ball has it's last two perform ances today.
