A young man, lately from the west, who lives north of Starke, vis- ited a neighbor recently and for the tirst time tasted huckleberry pie. This was a revelation to him. Pump- Lin, cranberry, apple, mince and rhubarb pies were beaten a mile. He went home and told his sister about the new dainty he had tasted and she promised to bake him a pie if he would get the berries. He had hieard that the sweetest huckleberries grow on low bushes having small clossy leaves. So one morning he teok a pail and went out in quest of berries. He found a patch of “low bushes with small, glossy leaves” and picked the black berries, which were €0 precious in his es‘imation that he id not even taste them, but wanted to save them all for the pie. Mean- while his sister had procured a re- cipe for baking the pie in the most approved style. At the dinner table the perfunctory dish of “grits and bacon” was quickly dispatcned and then came the pie. And after the first mouthful came horrible grimaces 2nd sputterings. The dialogue which entued between the disgusted young man and his sister can be better imagined than described when we state that the berries that composed the interior of the pie were gallber- ries.—Starke Telegraph.

APPROPRIATION BILLS HARD TO PASS. Tallahassee, Wla.,, May 23.—No- body who is not in Tallahassee can realize what it means to attempt to puss a bill carrying anything that locks like an appropriation.

Stanford is pres- ident of the Klorida State Chamber of (‘fommerce, and these bills are the measures endorsed by that body, yet it seems a problem whether they will rrass or not.
