A TRIP UP THE ST. JOHNS
(By Jackercrack.)

Palatka, March 21.--Wonderfully
pretty and thrillingly interesting IL
the st. Johns River from Sanford
to Palatka. The constant winding
of the stream-sometime making the
shape of a letter U and then Of an
s, and other shapes, with the steam
er almost always near the shore Of
either side. that is lined with bright
green trees varied with dark shades;
above the blue sky and an alligator
here and there in the sun. But this
only gives few faint ideas of the
charm of this ride.
Very few people have any more
than a faint idea of the destinations
Of trip on the st. Johns. One must
be on the boat to know it. I recon-
mend anyone who can to take it.
The prettiest part Of 1t Is from San
ford to Palatka, before the river be-
comes 80 large and while the shores
are closer and one can see them
easier. During that part Of the
stream the attractions are so contin-
uous that the passengers will not
leave the decks unless driven into the
cabins by the cool of approaching
night.
Only one unpleasant feature-the
shark prices for meals, and no lodg-
ing rooms without extra cost. pro.
vided unless one rides the entire dis
lance from Sanford to Jacksonville.
To illustrate: My trip from Sanford
to Palatka landed me there about one
o'clock at night; it allowed ire no
dinner, supper or room, though
could have had them by paying ex.
! ira for them-75 cents for dinner
/ ("lunch'0 and 81 for supper. At the
same time the passengers who went
through to Jacksonville were given
meals and rooms.
On a northern river steamboat
/ passengers are allowed meals ant
lodging-if they are aboard at mea
time and bedtime; 1t makes no DIFF
ference how long or how short tril
they ride.

Aerial Hunter Goes Cunning
for Whales.

With his airplane equipped with
a machine gun, an army lieutenant
recently went out on a whale-hunt-
ing expedition, says the April Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Flying
at an altitude of about one thous-
and feet above the Pacific Ocean,
the airman saw his quarry about
400 miles out at sea, and swooped
down before the great animal could
submerge. A short round from the
machine gun was sufficient, and a
motorboat was soon on its way to
pick up the carcass, which yielded
the hunter a considerable profit.

A famous prima donna had two
rooms of her town house decorated
with what she called, ''The records of

To be translated. this meant that
her bedroom was papered with leaves
Of music from the operas in which
she had won fame and fortune. and
that her dining room was similarly
decorated with the hotel bills she had
collected-and paid-in every country
and continent. A wealthy young wom-
an had many admirers, either for her
self or her possessions. and received
piles of love letters. She decided to
make a dado Of them in her special
