But comparisons between ‘boys, Walter Denson, raised on ordi= the rivals will also for all time ta slightly lower key—the Florida breast. No attempts will be made here to settle the great question. The writer himself has been for many years a lover of the great spit of sand which lies between the Atlantic and the Gulf, but at the moment he means only to say something of the beauties of the rival land- scapes. On what might be termed the picture post-card standard of comparison the Pacific slope is unquestionable the winner. Snow-clad peaks, green foothills, and a placid turquoise sea are assets undeniable; they even hint pleasantly at the Italian and Spanish shores of the Mediter- ranean. The Florida scene is in landscape has, once you felt its spell, a more romantic atmos- rhere, a more haunting, almost melancholy charm. Only afoot and afloat can you earn to appre- ciate the desolate flat stretches of Flnrid.’\'* sands, where the wind is forever whistling in the pine tr»ps and the view always ends in an impenetrable green wall, and to love the lonely wndings of her brakish coast rivers and lagoons between sedgy banks crowned with low mangrove thickets, past bars where oysters are uncovered at low tide, flats where blue and white herons fish, and sand banks where peli- cans congregate. Almost every- where in Florida, even in the northern part. the winderness still comes to vour back door. If not quite the wilderness, at least something very wild; the monotony of the pine woods, de- serted except by an occasional | crew of half savage turpcntincn and i nthe “hammocks,” the real lush tangle of the jungle. Wild life in Florida scems eager al- ways to come back to the settle- ments. The tourists will note here and their Government “bird reservations,” which are now anctuary to all wild fowl. And the oldest inhabitants will tell you that birds which thirty| years ago they thought extinct have mysteriously reappearcd and are thriving as wards of the nation.

They bring lnal\t memories of the brave days of Osceola and the Seminole war— no European resort can show the agrecable contrast of the centur- ies. To be the oldest and new- est state, the earliest to be inhab- ited and the lastest to be really settled of all those east of the Mi ippi is Florida’s curious characteristic.
