Florida's Labyriuthian Waters.

“Where have you been ?” said a guest at one of the hotels as a friend walked up the steps, well laden with souvenirs from South Florida. “O,” was the reply, “I’ve been down to Charlotte Harbor and up that liver with the unmentionable name.” “Caloosahatchee ?” “Yes, that’s it. I spent six days trying to pronounce it and haven’t succeeded yet. These Indian names are beautiful names, but they are lv hard to pronounce. By the way, where have you been ?” “ Well, I went over to the Suwanee river, cutover the country, shot’gators on the Withlacoochee, fished for bass in Tsala Apopka, sailed on Thonotosassa, skipped over to Okonlockhatchee, walked by the shores of the Weohyakapka, plucked flowers by Hickpochee’s limpid waters, visited the sugar fields on Tohopekaliga, sailed on the tortuous Kisnmme, was buffeted by the waves of Okeechohee, and have also captured tarpon on the Caloosahatchee. I expect to visit Istokpogayoxie, Loekapepka, Hatcheneeha and Ecau:ockhatchee before I leave the State.” “Gosh!” ejaculated his eomnanion, as he stepped into the hotel. — Florida Times* Union.
