many chstugfc*, since hip ‘esidenee
there thirty years ago* In a.recent
letter to the Gateway., Mr. Selby teils
of many matters of. interest to his
friends and.acquaintances*..
The town (Fort Mygr#, Florida) has,
been torn down, lie says, pad rebuilt
with magnificent edifices, and partial
homes. The recent .hao.ro.,.. however,
has put prices beyond the pale of the
average working man and. there has
been a general exodus north by those
who came to make their f.orunts by
easy means.
In part, Mr. Selby’s, letter is as fol7
lows:
“It is hot today, ghastly, sticky hot.
and we are perspiring profusely. I
am sitting near .the ‘water’ bottle with
j my. tongue hanging out, and Mrs.
i'Selby is wiping sweat and wishing for
a chunk of the Seward .glacier. Tom
is taking a nap and possibly dream
I ing of cooler climes.. I have to use
; lots of persuasion to prevent, him
j frojtn returning to Alaska. I any takt

rheumatism is getting, much better—

a machine job next week if able,.and
will try to hold it down, until fall. Tom
has landed on a morning paper here,
and puts in his time working, sleeping
and cussing. He goes to yvork .at f>
and gets off at Half ..hour for.
lunch. . The composing roo.m has elec
tric fans and an .attempt ,is made to
cool it, hut it lacks c.oolth by about a
d—- and a half. How I wish I
were hack in the. old.Gateway .office at
this time. Florida has been ruined by
the boom, and it will take_SS>me. time
for conditions to right themselves. .W.e
