DR.. GLENN GIVES FINE DESCRIPTIONO
FLORIDA In LETTER TO HIS HOME PAPER

doors country equal to this?
"A poet down here, Mr. G, w. Gore,
----- T~"'l Fl~"''o = . 0oo-1 cd
breaks out in the following strains:
Down here if you are a poet
With joy your muse will' run
And if you're not poet,
1t sure will make you one.
There are poems in the sunshine,
There are poems nj the rain;
And in the sensuous mOonshine
There is sweet refrain.
There are poems in the water,
There are poems in the sand;
There are poems everywhere you look
Down here in Florida land.
I'VE were invited few days ago to
dine at the home of a gentleman by
name of Wolf. who lives a mile and a
half from the city, and after partaking
of a sumptuous meal we walked
down to the shore of Lake Parker
about hundred yards below the
house. This is a magnificent sheet of
water and is seven miles long and ave-
RACES about three miles in width.
Here is a scene that would charm
the eye of artist or poet. Along the
shore are giant trees adorned mad
festooned by the long moss which re
minds one of a bridal veil The soil
here must be very deep and rich tt
produce such mighty forests. Mrs
w. is an expert with the rod and line
and often takes her fishing tackle and
goes out in her boat and captures a
number of fine trout. Mr.. w. took us
through his orange grove, which ne
cultivates and fertilizes scientifically
ploughing it three times year. Like
the human soul and body. the orange
tree degenerates unless it is carefully
and persistenly cultivated We saw
ir this grove lemons of an enormous
size, and VIC brought one home with
us.
"The guava is most interesting
kind 70 fruit, and makes beautiful
jelly, and what the women call guav
butter Three families of us occup
rooms on the second floor of the same
house and constitute merry. sociabh
and mutually helpful symposium. On

nous honey of Mount Hymettus, cele
brated by Virgil in his great poem.
may as well explain here that ole
the families spoken of came from ce-
trail New York, and the other from Iii
diana, so kindness and nobility OF
spirit is not question of latitude and
longitude.

NEW STORY OF OLD FIGHT

\ new angle is given the affair
known as the Fetterman massacre
which occurred near Fort Phil kear-
ney. Wyoming. December II. 1866. by
the version recently recited by Shuka
Luta. an Oglala Sioux living on Butte
creek in Tripp county for the South
Dakota Historical society
Luta, who is now 50 years of age,
claims to be one of the last survivors
Of that battle which in the history of
the northwest ranks next tc the Gus
ter massacre on the Little Big Horn.
Historians of the early Indian upris-
inss. writing of this incident which re-
suited in the annihlation of eighyt
trained fighters, have always insisted
that Fetterman,who was sent to the
rel ref OF wood train which was sup
posed to have been attacked 4 short
distance from the fort. disobeyed orr
ders by. driving the reds beyond a Ger.
tain point and was trapped by them.
Luta. for all his years. has vivid
recollection of the affair. This is his
version: "Deertail and two other young
boys. hunting near the fort. We're
killed by the soldiers. Another com.
panion escaped and broaght the news
to Red Clouds camp. A little more
than 100 warriors at once started out
to bring in the bodies. We didn't in
tend to tight: l was at the head of
the the. part party. The soldiers came out and
them. not wishing to precipitate a bat
tie too near the fort. The soldiers fCl-
lowed us hard. and when we got over
the hill We turned upon them They
dsmounted and hid in therocks, but
We were able to kill very many. I
have heard that all were Killed, but !
do not knew. Five Sioux were killed"
