I left Chicago on the in of March and nowhere did I see preparations for spring planting or ac tivity upon the farms until I arrived in Florida- on the morning of the 8tlu I went through Florida, and I saw as I looked from the car windows the fields green witn growing crops and men and women working In thmie fields In the very lightest or summer apparel. I was on mission of inspection to the Burbank-Ocala .colony, located in Marion County. Florida. Mind you. this colony Is but SO days old. and It Is not reasonable to suppose that one could see much de velopment there, but this Is what I found. I learned from the officials in charge of the colony that the land was more than three-quarters sold, that the settlers and prospective settlers were arriving at the ratio of from 20 to 30 a day. I went out to the colony on the line of the new rail road, which has been built especially to penetrate through the heart of this col ony, and which connects with the Sea board Air Line and the Atlantic Coast line nt Ocala. Upon both sides of this railroad as 1 rode through the colony. I saw fields In cultivation, new houses built and being built, men busily encaped In clearing the land to make It ready for the plow, and 1 talked with many of these settlers anc found a universal endorsement, both ol the soil and the possibilities of this great colony. I saw many spots in Florida In the course of my threw w-eka stav In tlmr state, end I saw why it Is that upon Just a few ncres of ground one can earn an In dependint llvlne. with half the toil nec essary in the ordinary pursuits of life, but In all of my travels I am very frank to ay that I. believe I liked the Bnrbank pcala -olony better than any spot I saw In Florida. Burbank-Ocala colony Is building ery fast, and It Is almost Impossible In so short a space to tell how great is this progress. The land lies In the center of Marlon County, which Is the banner countv of the state. It Is touched upon both sides by great railroad systems, and with ex cellent transportation through the heart Of the colony with a railroad which con nects wlh these systems, while the Ock Iawaha river runs the entire length of the eastern border of the rolonv. thus af fording water transportation with the sea. The New South Farm & Home Company has prepared a niece of liter-iture which they have called "Ten Acres and Free, dom." Tills book comprises sorue 80.000 words, and Is fll'ed from cover to cover with actual phntocmnhle reproductions, end Is bevond question of a doubt one of the b.-st p'es of literature ever pub lished upon Florida. My advice to any man or woman who Is eeekine an invement In farm lands, especially in Florida. Is to read this great book before you make up your mind defi nitely where to locate.

The story opens with the Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massa chusetts man marooned by authorities at Aalparaiso. Chile. Being interested In mining operations In Bolivia, he was de nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel Ms attention was attracted by an hnitlsniiian and a youn? woman. Stephens rescued the voung woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by lier. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con fronted Stephens, told him that war had been declare.! between Chile and Peru and offered him tiie office of captain. He CCS'rCd that th-lf nll'llt h fcmo.-itrta n Chilean vessel, should be captured, btephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final In structions. Thev boarded the vessel Thwr successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy, t-apt. Stephens gave d'rections for the de parture of the craft. He entered the cab--and discovered the English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lords wife and maid being aboard. .; exPir'ned the situation to her ladv Bhlp. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been ta-en In order to go to the Antare- .- Lin-itr. mine explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost In 1733. He had found It frozen in a huge case of Ice on an island and contained much gold, btephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. He told Lady parl.ngton. She was greatly alarmed, hut expressed confidence In h'm. The Fea Queen encountered a vessel In the xotr. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a fierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the sit uation. Then the Sea Oueen h.-w1.1 cnnth ntzaln. Under Tuttle's guidance the ves sel made progress toward Its goal. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he bel'eved Tuttle. now acting as skipper. Insane because of his queer actions Stephens was awaleied by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle In the grip of a fpstn of rel'gious mania and overcame h m. The sailor t'non regaining his senses was taken III. Tuttle comm'tted suicide bv shooting.

Samuel Gompers. at the recent con vention in Washington of the Civic Federation, said of children: "Children should be protected from wage slavery, for, when free as air, they have enough trouble, dear knows. "Walking along an East side street, I came on two tiny tots, the smaller of whom was bawling as if to break hie lungs. "A window opened and a little girl shrieked: "Tommy, who'a been a-hlttin' of "Nobody's been a-hitUn of him the larger tot answered. 'He's swal lowed a worm. Not Quite. "Young man," inquired hei father, eternly. "will you give her a home like the one she has been used to?" "No," replied the truthful suitor, "for there will be no grumpy father to come home and make every one mis erable by his kicking over trifles and wearing at matters in general. There will be no mother to scold her from morning to night for wasting time merely because she wants to be neat. There will be no big brother to abuse her for not doing half his work, and no little brother to make enough noise to drive her crazy when her head aches. There won't be .any younger sister to insist on reading some trashy novel while she does all the work. She will not have with me a home like she has been used to, not if I can help It" Puck. POSTUM FOR MOTHERS The Drink That Nourishes and Sup pliea Food for Mother and Child. "My husband had been unable to drink coffee for several years, so we were very glad to give Postum a trial and when we understood that long boiling would bring out the delicious flavour, we have been highly pleased with it "It is one of the finest things for aursing mothers that I have ever seen. It keeps up the mother's strength and Increases the supply of nourishment , for the child if partaken of freely. I drank It between meals instead of wa ter and found It most beneficial. "Our five-year-old boy has been very delicate since birth and has developed slowly. He was white and bloodless. I began o give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improvement, we never fail to tell them that we attribute his gain tn strength and general health, to the free use of Postum and this has lea many friends to use it for themselves and children. "I have always cautioned friends to whom I have spoken about Postum, to follow directions in making it, for onless it is boiled fifteen or twenty minutes, it is quite tasteless. On tbr other hand, when properly made. It 1 very delicious. I want to thank you for the benefits we have derived from the use of your Postum." Read "The Road to Wellville," found In pkgs.

Continued. lie promised with an eaer earnest ness that went far toward convincing me I had not only conquered the man. but won his friendship as well. "Then wait here. McKnisht. until I can pass back alone through the en pine room. In ten minutes you slip through, and let this end it Shake hands, my man." He gave me a prip I felt, and so I left him, a mere shadow in the black passage. Lady Darlington stood within the door of her cabin wailing for me, her face brightening as I emerged through the pantry door. "Who was it?" "McKnisht; I caught him In the very act. hut shall keep it from the crew. There will be no repetition of this affair, I am sure, for now we are homeward bound." How quickly her gray eyes light ed up. her hands instantly clasping mine. "Homeward bound. Mr. Stephens! Have we already attained the spot sought in this sea? Was there noth ing discovered there as a reward for all this long voyage?" "No. we are not yet there, but I have determined upon turning back. I can not take you any farther into danger." "But why? why? Is the peril so terribly desperate? How much far ther south must we go?" "With fair luck, the wind holding as it Is. we might attain the position to-morrow. Tis not a long run: but. Lady Darlington. I am afraid to risk it. The slightest slant of wind will bring the ice crashing down upon us. We are under Damocles' sword, suspend ed by a hair. This Is the beginning of winter In these latutudes of fierce gales from the south sweeping across leagues of frozen waters. We have been wonderfully fortunate thus far, yet. a single day. ay, a single hour, might seal our fate, hemming us In be yond any possibility of escape. I might take the chance if we were all mere adventurers on board, but I dare not trifle any longer with your life." "I I am not that kind of a coward. Mr. Stephens. You you owe it to those men to push on, now we are so near their goal. You have pledged them your word, and and I want you to keep It" The companion-door slid back, and a man came heavily down the steps. As he caught sight of us he pulled off bis cap awkwardly. "Mr. De Nova sent me to call you, sir." he said. "It's four bells." sy A J7W&J J wnt Within a Minute De Nova Had Joined Me, Hla Eyea Still Heavy with Sleep. CHAPTER XIX. In Which We Attain 66 XT South. When morning arrived tho Sea Queen was plunging through an an gry sea. in the midst of a raging snow storm Which effectually con cealed all our Immediate surroundings. With vivid remembrance of those vast Ice fields lying off our starboard quar ter, and the certainty that numerous bergs were drifting not far ahead, we were compelled to slow down our en gines, feeling a way cautiously through the white fog. The Ice-cakes buffeting our bows, and scraping along the sides, were a constant menace, requiring men to fend them off so as to keep rudder and screw uninjured; the mainsail had broken loose from its gaskets, and, frozen stiff as the heavy j canvas was, proved difficult to secure: wniie ine ice on our forward deck had accumulated to such a thickness It was not far from noon when the heavy snow-clouds broke and went scurrying away like a flock of birds, leaving the wide sweep of waters clear to our view, with a yellow sun hanging cold in the pale blue of the sky. I hardly knew where we were, not feeling at all certain about the extent of our drift during the past 24 hours, and so hastily brought my instruments on deck and shot the sun. stepping in to the chart house to figure out our rosition. The result sent a sudden thrill of exultation through me. "We ha-e attained the spot!" I ex- clakncd. as I glanced up, and saw her gazing in at me through the open door. "Now we will ascertain the truth of Tuttle's vision." "The spot? Do you mean this Is the point of sea we have been seek ing?- "Ay! and now, thank God! w can head the other way." I sprang eagerly past her, clinging to a lire-line so as to keep my feet on the deck, too thoroughly excited by my discovery to remain any long er in idleness. "Johnson, run below, and call Mr. De Nova. Have him turn out at once." I watched the fellow slide to the companion, and made my own way to the bridge, sweeping my glasses anx iously about the clearing horizon. Within a minute De Nova had joined me. his eyes still heavy from sleep. "Mr. De Nova," I said, rapidly, my gloved hand sweeping a semicircle in our front, "I have just taken an ob servation, and this Is latitude 669 17' south and longitude HO9 30' wesL Send your sharpest eyed lookout to the foretopsail yard with these glasses. Then call all bands." He went down the bridge stairs as though shot from a gun, and a moment later a young seaman named Symes was swiftly footing the rat lines, their coating of Ice breaking un der his tread and rattling on the deck below. The men swarmed out from the forecastle and up the main batch, rang ing themselves about the foot of the. foremast, watching me eagerly, and occasionally peering up at Symes, now well above the cross-trees. "Lads," I cried, bending over the rail of the bridge, and staring down in to their upturned faces "I've just figured out oar position, and this is the spot we've been hunting after In these seas. I've sent Symes aloft to look out for Tuttle'a Island. If there's any land in sight, well and good; we'll have a try for looting the Donna Isabel of those Spanish pesos. But if not. then we'll call It a wild goose chase, and the Sea Queen points her nose north There was a faint, -faatf-Learted at tempt at a cheer, which ended In a muttering or oaths and a shuffling of feet on the icy planks. The glances of the fellows turned upward toward symes, now securely posted on the foretopsail yard, the glasses to his eyes. One or two among them, in cluding Anderson, clambered to the t-'p of the forecastle where they could iee ahead. "How tho bell." the latter yelled "do we know this is the place, and suddenly from that point of vantage, that you ain't foolin' us just to get back?" The crowd turned their eyes on me. and I heard a growl of approval "Principally because I say so, An derson. The chart, with our course pricked on It day by day. Is yonder in the chart-house. And mv figures "But we don't any of us know any thing about that!" "True enough, but there happens to be one en board who can figure it out for you If you doubt my word. Lady Darlington can do it" The rising medley of growling voices ceased almost instantly, and If I had felt any question as to what her lady ship would do It was Immediately si lenced. She slipped to the rail or the stairs, her hood thrown back, her hair blowing in the wind. "I I believe thoroughly in Mr. Ste phens," she said, clearly, "but It is true that I know something or naviga tion, and ir you really doubt his state ment I will figure it out for you." "Now you hear that, lads," my voice ringing out stern over tho hub bub. "You'll believe this lady If her results are the same as mine. Now stop your growling." I hollowed my hands for a hail aloft "What do you pick up, Symes?" His words came back in a thread of sound as he looked down upon us from his bobbing perch. "Not very much, sir, except water. There's a hell or a big field o' ice out yonder," pointing with one hand, the other gripping the spar, "but it's mostly flat, an' all glistenin' with snow. There's maybe a dozen bergs ahead an off the port quarter, mostly medium size, but with the devil of a big fellow a point or so to the north." "Any land?" "Not a sign, sir, unless that's It I take for a big berg. The shadows look dark enough for rock." "Ease her off two points, wheel man." "Two points It is, sir." We stood there, silent and motion less, waiting anxiously, the men ranged along the rail, with their eyes all turned forward. I rang for full speed, and the Sea Queen fairly leaped ahead through the ley smoth er, .flinging clouds of white spray over the heedless figures. Within ten min- Iooked upon so gigantic and majestic a mountain of Ice. It was one im mense cliff towering into the upper air, being fully 300 feet high, and not less than 1.200 feet la length, with vast glittering pinnacles rising still farther Into the sky, its entire front a sheer precipice, gleaming in cold blue, with -hardly a darker shadow anywhere to yield relief to the eye. We rounded Its eastern edge so close ly one could have tossed a biscuit from the foreyard against its smooth front. the swell or Its motion tossing the dar ing yacht like an eggshell. Symes clung to his perch aloft with the grip or a monkey, swinging back and forth to the wild swaying of the spar. Sud denly he yelled down: "There's wind comin from the sou'west. sir." "Heavy?' "Looks to be a stiff breeze, an' it's bringing more snow." "Lay down from aloft." I sprang over to consult the binnacle-card, and then cast one swift, comprehending glance at the thicken ing gloom in the southwest. Beyond doubt the change had come. "Give her two more points north, wheelsman: keep her head nor'east by nor' steady so. Mr. De Nova, send another man up here to the wheel. All hands now; stow every thing: tail on to those gaskets lively, my lads: we're in for a blow, and a run for our lives." To my amazement scarcely a man among them stirred, the eyes of the majority turning toward Anderson. Evidently there was an understanding between them; they Intended to revolt and had chosen him their leader. He stood just in front of the forecastle, a lumping big figure in his heavy clothes, his coarse face and ugly jaw showing beneath a fur cap. "What yer turnin' north for In such a hurry. Mr. Stephens?" he growled, hoarsely. "It's not by vote o the crew, an we're the ones that's got they say or It on this voyage. We're for keepln along this line o latitude for a day or so anyhow. Tuttle might 'a got his Aggers tangled an missed a few leagues. Anvhow. wo want the lady to give us her reckoning first." I felt the hot blood leap to my face, and my teeth clenched as I leaned over the rail gazing down at him. "Lads." I said, striving to master mj-self. "I've put you exactly where I promised I would; I've shown you all that was here. You can see for your selves what will happen if we hold on any longer. The wind has swept around; it Is going to bring that whole pack of Ice down on us. We've got to run for It, or be crushed. Now what I want to know Is, are you with me. or with Bill Anderson?" They held off muttering. y casting uneasy glances over the rail. Ander son stamped angrily on the deck. "Oh, to hell with yer fine words." he said, grimly. "What if the wind has changed a hit? Can't we beat off the floe under steam the same as we did before? We're sailor-men, and not afraid of a rough sea. For one, I'm damned if I leave that gold to rot here without huntin for it." Words were clearly useless, and I ripped back my heavy coat, dragging off my gloves, all patience exhausted. "Come on, De Nova," I exclaimed, "you've got sense enough to realize what this means." I was over the rail with a leap, front ing them on the deck. Almost to' my surprise the creole landed beside me. and without a word we struck out at the heads In our front. It was a fierce mix-up for a minute, yet only a man or two stood with Anderson, the sud denness of our assault taking all the fight out of most of them. I struck Big Bill twice squarely in the face, driving him back against the steps leading to the forecastle deck; over these he fell sprawling, his head thumping the plank. The next instant I I had De Nova's antagonists in the rear, and together we laid them out against the rail, and none too gently. The mate's smile had become ugly, and he would have leaped into the rest Copper may be cleaned by rubbing with the skins of lemon and salt.

Hygienic cooks declare bread BMdc from spring wheat Is better than that from winter wheat, as it contains mors gluten and less starch than the latter Remember that the shell of an egg is porous and bacteria easily pass through it. Keep eggs In a cool placa and keep them covered. Do hot forget that sugar or shorten ing retards the raising of dough. so roils that are made with them will not be so high and puffy as in doughs made with yeast. Butter that is watery and not well worked must not be used for cake, as It will make it heavy. If you have alcohol lamps, chafing dishes, and self-beating irons run by alcohol, be sure that you burn the right kind. The pure grain alcohol is costly and the fumes of wood alcohol are poisonous. Get the denatured kind, which costs only about forty cents a gallon. In using an alcohol lamp be sure that it Is set upon metal or some non inflammable substance, or your wood work may be ruined, though a bad conflagration is escaped. Asbestos plates are excellent for this purpose, or an old marble top table. In scalloping oysters do not use too much of the liquor; some cooks sub stitute milk. Put on plenty of but ter, being sure to use twice as much on the top layer as on the under ones. or you will not have a well browned dish. For frying or covering the top of entrees use bread crumbs instead of cracker crumbs, as they have less of a flat taste and do not get so soggy To prepare bread crumbs most quickly dry bread In oven after crusts have been removed, then rub through the meat chopper, sift and put away in glass jars.
