Inereuaing and more intelligent lit tent ion is being given each year to the planting anil cul tivating of the pecan. The )*er nianeiit and increasing annual value of the tree is realized. Ex perimental stages are past, and the outlook tor the industry is brighter than ever. The demand for fine nuts for table and confec tionery purposes is constant, and tlie supply of fine nuts is entirely inadequate. They are easy to market, as they can always be hold for a high price. The trees will grew and hear on many kinds of soil, and adapt themselves to ninny conditions. There is a great difference in the quality and market value of the pecan nut; some are small, thick shelled, and of poor quality; tin* best nuts are from medium to largo size, with thin shells, well filled, of good keeping quality and of delicious flavor. The aver nge yield per tree the fifth year fromjtraiispluiitation may run to ten pounds, the sixth year to fif teen pounds, the seventh year (~ twenty-five pounds and over until 1 110 tenth year fro in setting out, when a yield of from fifl to 160 pounds mav reasonably he assum ed. The fine nuts sell from 40 cents per pound and upwards. Se lected specimens are sold for planting at prices ranging from 50 cents to per pound. Tho trees are ornamental us. well as valuable. They are good lor furniture, and will make good hard fence posts. They are at tacked by fewer insects or fungus diseases than any other tree. 1 have an orchard of fine pecan trees, and 1 intend to increase t heir number each year. This will he better than a bank account from the time they commence to hear, Jor myself and ninny future . generations. 1 also have a peach orchard with the pecans, which is satisfactory, as the life of the >a pencil short, and by the time the )>ecuns need the room the peach trees will ho gone.—o. 11.

The Ha waiian is a phonetic language; based upon the continental pron unciation of its vowels It is beautifully simple, as we all know from wrestling with tire name of the former queen, easy to spell and easy to pronounce. From a list of ‘'common” words printed j in the official programme of the outing of the Southern California Editorial association wo learn that the word for editor is “lunu hooponopono,” from which you may judge what u big man the editor is in thoec hi eased isles. Just imagine what u colossus he would l»e if the word were spelled according to our antiquated com plicated, circumlocutory method 1 Great >a the phonetic system'.

CONDENSED STORIES. Young Soldier Lost His Bearings In First Engagement. At the Army and Navy club in Washington a number of veteran officers were telling stories, says j Harper’* Weekly, when General Chaffee told this an< -dote of Gen eral Carr, who died • New York gome year* ago: It appears that General Carr, at the outbreak of the civil war, had left Troy to take command of a regiment. The enga cment in which, tis colonel, he first figured JjlMj »i "THEY ABE KlItlNO UPON MY KEOIMKNT. WH3 at Big Bethel. llis regiment j had been halted for a rest and re freshment in a pleasant place and had not yet experienced the excite ment of a skirmish. It happened, however, that Confederates were in ambush in the immediate neighbor- ; hood, and from a safe hiding place ! they opened fire on the northerners. Carr, so the story runs, instantly j put spurs to his horse and dashed up j to a group of officers. Excitement j and bewilderment were apparent j upon his young face as he approach- i ed the party. “They are firing upon ray regi ment!” he shouted. “My God! Now what is to he done?” Going Too Far Back. John F. O’Brien, New York’s sec retary of state, familiarly known in i Albany as “Thousand Legged John” | because of the facility with which j he wends his w ay amid the RcpubH- | can factions of the stale, has many ; Krench-Canadians in his bailiwick, | Clinton county. It is related that Mr. O’Brien recently used one of his i l’rench-Canadian constituents as a i messenger to carry a letter. The recipient of the letter quizzically \ asked the Canuck who sent the let ter. “John F. O'Brien,” was the reply, delivered with great importance. “But who is John F. O’Brien?” “You not know John F. O'Brien? j; He verv big man!” “How big is lie?” “John F. O’Brien is biggest man!” “Is he bigger than Governor Odell ?” “Oh, yes, John F. O’Brien bigger j than Odell.” 1 “Is he bigger than President 1 Roosevel t ?” “Indeed, yes, John F. O’Brien ! bigger than Roosevelt.” “Is lie bigger than Lafayette?” The Canuck scratched his tousled! head, was puzzled for a moment, his face brightened and he replied: “Well, you see John F. O’Brien is a very young man yet!”—New York Sun. Time on the Wing. Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court in lecturing to his law class at the George Wash ington university told the follow ing storv: • * "1 knew of a ease once where 1 two darkies swapped mules. One of ! them was an old hand at the busi ness, and in making the trade he represented his mule to be seven years old and told of many good trait* the animal had not. This was in February. About two months later the other darky began to real ize that he had been victimized in tlie bargaiu and that the beast was fully twelve years old. So he de cided to go back and tell the swin dler he had lied to him about the animal.' However, owing to it being the busy reason of farming he was not able to go until about the mid dle of June. He finally did go and told his man what he thought of his rascally misrepresentations about the mule. “You say," said the other fellow, “dat when you got de mule in Feb ruary he was seven years old. and now it’s June and he’s twelve Years old ?” "Yes, 1 do!” was the angry re sponse. “Well, «ah, time sure do fly." 1 Libel fur Divorce. | Lizzie Mae Pridgen vs J. \V.
