The Value of Commas.

A Prussian school inspector appeared
at the office of the burgomaster Of lit
tie town to ask him to accompany him
on tour of inspection through the
schools.
The burgomaster was out of sorts, and
was heard to mutter to himself, "What
is this donkey here again for?"
The inspector said nothing, but waited
his time, and with the unwilling burgo-
master set out on his tour. AT the first
school he announced his wish to see how
well punctuation was taught.
"Oh, never mind that, " said the burgo-
master. eve don't care for commas
and such trihes.
But the inspector sent boy to the
blackboard and ordered him to write,
"Ihe Burgorlaster of R says, the in
spector is a donkey"
Then he ordered him to transpose the
comma, placing it after R, and to
insert another one after inspector, and
the boy wrote, "The burgomaster OF
R., says the inspector, is donkey.
1t is probable that the refractory OH,
cial gained a new idea Of the value OF
commas and such trifes. "-London

THE PECAN TRADE.
YIELD OF BIG GROVE THIS SEASON
NEAR THE CITY.
The Trees Pay in Good Seasons-Some Wild
Statements as to Their Productive
ness Not Borne Out by the
Facts.

Austin is probably situated in as
fine pecan region as there is in the
world. Only one place, so far as The
STATESMAN knows, are the nuts
larger and of better flavor, and that is
on False river, Louisiana. There the
nut has richness and flavor rarely
found, if ever found, in pecans grown
elsewhere; and they command fancy
prices, seldom selling for less than
$3.50 bushel and often as high as $40
to So.
The crop of nuts this year around
Austin has been better than for many
years, and there has been sold in this
city thus far this season about $50, 600
pounds, or in round numbers 5000
bushels. OF this quantity Mr.. j Nj.
Boroughs has bought and shipped
about l25, 900 pounds, the nuts going
to st. Louis, Chicago and Galveston.
WILD STATEMENTS.
Many writers who probably never
saw pecan tree have furnished differ
ent journals with marvellous tales of
the prOductiveness Of the pecan tree,
claiming that after six or seven years
growth the tree yields anywhere
from ten to twenty bushels.
Experience teaches that the
pecan tree in its native state rarely
ever begins to bear until ten years old
and it does not reach its full maturity
under wenty years. Again expert
ence teaches that the pecan tree does
not yield nuts two years i'll succession.
Its nature is to rest every other year.
and when frosts and blights and other
natural mishaps which often interfere,
the owner Of a pecan tree is very
fortunate if he obtains one real good
crop of nuts each five years.
SOME REAL FIGURES.
Several articles on the pecan tree
which have come to the notice of The
STATESMAN give the yield of each tree
at maturity from ten to twenty
bushels. These figures are greatly
exaggerated, for actual experience
shows that in the best of groves dur
ing the most prolific of seasons the
yield per tree will not average three
bushels.
A SATATESNIAN reporter met Mr..
r. II. rrogdon yesterday and he gave
the following figures bearing on this
point Mr.. X. M Castleman has a
pecan grove a few miles below the
rity on the river, and it will compare
favorably with any grove in the state.
IT is natural grove and many OF the
trees are at their very best stage and
the season for nuts is the best for
years, and far above the average.
Mr.. Trogdon has gathered the nuts
from the grove and he says the
trees number about 15O. The
highest yield from any one
tree was eight bushels and that
from one tree only. Several supplied
five bushels each and he gathered
| from the $50 trees 1868 pounds or l7S
! bushels, which he sold for the sum o
$433.8l. MIR. Trogdon says neigh
Dor of his informed him that severa
years ago he gathered from very
large tree on his place ten bushels, but
such a yield is an exception.
Large quantities of nuts were
brought in yesterday, and prices ruled
from 3 to cents pound. The ship
ments from this city will probably
reach OO,000 pounds this season.

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1891-12-29

The owner of the vine-draped shanty
was bachelor of middle age who
spoke with a queer foreign accent. He
was an extremely bashful man and he
scarcely dared look at the ladies as
they passed him, with the good-natured
"Howdy'' that was the customary

was to him that she whispered, upon
this evening in June, that she had half
a mind to go west and take up claim.
And Tom purred his approval and the
widow went on and poured into his ear
a scheme which had been working in
her mind for several days.
OF course every one said that she must
be crazy. Odd, over-Ghrifty and ven
turesome were the mildest Of the adj
jectives which were applied to this
harmless little woman, who was simply
tired of the dull life which she was liv-
ing and who knew of no other way Of
making change which would benefit
her health and mind and her purse as
we'll
And that is how it happened that this
woman, who seemed far too dainty for
such a life, was living away out on a
Dakota claim, in snug little shanty of
pine boards, banked with sods, AID in
the midst of the crudest of surround
.ngs.
1t was the first of July when she filed
her claim and it was required that there
should be six months residence upon
it. Everybody said that she never
would stay half the time; but she smiled
and stroked old Tom.
1t wasn't so bad after all, she
thought. There were plenty Of neigh
bors-not very near, to be sure-but
half mile seems so much nearer in.
that clear atmosphere which transmits
light and sound so marvelously.
Each morning she heard the shrill
vocal salute Of the two schoolma'ams
who lived on the claim next hers; and
from her own door she would call back
a hearty "halloo-o," which always
brought smile to the faces Of those
ancient danes.
And. then, out there everybody was
SO kind TO everybody else, and some-
body was always offering to bring one's
mail or ones groceries from the queer
low hut which served as general store,
post office, machine shop and dwelling
in one.
OF course the bill of fare was apt to
be little monotonous. There was a
great deal of salt pork and bacon and
dried fish, but there were lots of timed
vegetables and canned fruit from home
to help out; and, really, it wasn't at all
what one would fancy from the doleful
tales one hears of the suffering in new
countries.
Then there were papers and maya
zines and letters from dear ones. Only
there was one trouble. The widow had
no dear ones. She was SO alone. And
little Jealous feeling would come in
spite of her when the two old maids

And paths be glad and peacefulOp which you

May golden shafts of sunshine bring just .

And gracious gifts Of pleasure hold Just shade
Of pain.
For skies are fairer which the clouds may

And pleasures are the best which come when
grief and pain are past
And II among your roses the ivy is entwined
Your heart will beat the nearer to the heart OF
all mankind
wish you happy New Yeari ALL who could

May all the tender charities that heal and

Be scattered at your feet like flowers, and may
you e'er impart
To all the weary souls Of men the Joy within
your heart.
For hearts that hold no love know not the JOY
it is TO live;
Our lives are measured by the joys which we
to others give.
May charity ana kindliness your life and mine
Undue.
My joys shall be the brighter for the joys I

too. AS rule the more thought that Is
bestowed upon the subject the more
elaborate and lengthy the set of resolu-
lions become. That's going in the wrong
direction. A more useful kind of study
is that which discriminates, prunes and
discards the superfuities. Don't resolve
too much. If you do you will fail to
keep your resolutions and that win
tend to weaken your faith in yourself.
If you are particularly fond of an after
dinner cigar and resolve to dispense
with it, that is one of the resolutions
that a discriminating resolver would
prune out, because there is next to no
possibility of It's being kept more than
three days at the utmost. There are
some resolutions that are easier to
keep, and to these the prudent man viii
confne himself. Resolve that if you sit
down suddenly on the icy sidewalk, or
pound your thumb with hammer, you
will make few cursory remarks; be-
cause it is resolution that you will
surely keep. Resolve that in any case
you will read this paper; that is an
other that you can't help keeping. Res
olutions that are kept are source OF
satisfaction, says the Boston Globe, and
the kind that are made every New
Years day and never kept are foun-
tain of more or less poignant regret.
