 While he was crossing the continent his mother, believed to be dangerous ly i'll, was preparing for an operation in Athens for an intestinal trouble.

The Story of
 Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXVII.-FLORIDA
 TTE S@ EL O RID A
 ||:| <: ;:; < < < :'| || Hhf HoMSN ica's first Ns3RYNz& health resort. WS aHeZW It was the W$S&SSZ$W search for
 &M amythical Fountain of Perpetual Youth that led Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explorer. to land near the present site of St. Augustine. His rediscovery of Florida in 1513 was on Easter Sunday, hence the name, which is from Pascua Florida or Flowery Pass over, which is the Spanish for Easter Sunday.
 The French were the next set. tiers, founding a colony on the Et Johns river. Spain promptly took action to maintain her own- ership of this region and sent over an expedition which erected 6 fort under the leadership of Menendez at St. Augustine in 1665 and exterminated the Huge not colony. St. Augustine Is the oldest city in the United States. There followed a period of hos tulty between the English col ohists in the Carolilas and the spanish In Florida. By the trea- ty of 1763 Spain ceded Florida to England in exchange for Ha. vana, which England had cap- tured a few years previous. It remained an English colony un- til the last years of the Revolu. tlon when Spain recaptured 1t.
 There were two provinces, East and West Florida. As the Spanish ruled Florida with a very loose form of government, this region became the refuge of pirates, smugglers and lawless characters. Such an element to- gether with the unruly Seminole indians naturally caused a great deal of trouble. To overcome this. President Monroe pur- chased Florida from Spain in 1S19 for S5,OOO,OOO or about eleven cents an acre. It was organized into a territory and in 1S45 was admitted to the Un. ion.
 Florida Is sometimes called the Everglade State on account ot the vast swamp-land In its southern part. It Is also known as the Peninsula State and is the southernmost State of the Union. Its area is 58.660 square miles. Co by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
