RAISING A QUESTION.

Yesterday afternoon it became known
that the administration and the dis
pensary authorities had decided to take
advantage Of a peculiarlty IN the decis-
ion-a necessary peculiarity-in order
to evade the operation Of Judge Simon
tons injunction in certain cases aud TO
save the constables from punishment
for contempt Of court in cases where
such seizures we're made The order
says that no liqnor shall be molested
in any way that is brought luto the
State for individual use. Now the
scheme is to make the coostables seize
tie stuff that is sect 10. where they
think hat it is not for personal use,
making them the judges. Then, if
bauled Up for contempt, they can set up
the defense that they were convinced
that the stuff was for other than per-
sonal use. And the same scheme is to
apply to searches. This raises a pice

OLD PECAN TREE.

price Of pecans varies with quality
and size. The small wild ones are
sometimes less than So, while the ex-
ira large ones are in demand at as high
as SO. There is no fear of Cutting the
market with these extra sizes, as few
are willing to wait till they come
into bearing. There is no safer life in
surance than a weu-established pecan
orchard. There are men to-day deriv-
ing good living from few trees
planted by them, and others know Of
who are getting from $4,000 to $4,000
per year from trees planted by their
fathers. The land between the trees
need not lie idle while the trees are
coming into bearing, but can be plant-
ed to hoed crops and made to pay. I
have netted on an average over 81, 800
per year for the last six years from my
land. I advise no one to plant in local
tiles where there is too much rain, as
the pollen is liable to be washed away,
and thus keep the tree from fructify-
ing and making fruit.

TIE FARMING WORLD,
PEcANs in TEXAS.

Profitable Industry Suited to the Arid
Regions of That State.
After careful investigation in 1885 I
bought land for pecan culture on Pc
can bayou, in Texas, where found
the tree growing in its native state,
says writer in the Irrigation Age. I
have,kkow an orchard of II, 900 trees on
my ~ acres that are one to six years
old. AS nut culture is attracting at
tention in the arid region, and the Pc
can should thrive wherever the English
walnut does, my experience may be of
interest.
The pecan tree is valuable for its
timber as well as for its nuts. AK and
hoe handles, gunstocks, furniture and
various other useful articles are made
from the wood. The nut, besides being
used as dessert is made into cakes
and candies and It's oil brings the high
est price in the market from clock
makers, gunsmiths, etc. The tree is Of
slow growth and longlived. The cut
shows one on my place over one hum
dred years old in it's wild state. The
tree grows to the height of eighty or

acres, planted forty feet apart each
way. As there is no enterprise but has
Its drawbacks, must say had them
to begin with-the first thing being the
wood louise or ant, which attacked the
yellow pine stake placed by every nut.
They then went from the stake to the
tree, and thus killed the young stem;
but this was obviated by cypress boxes,
eighteen inches high, tarred a. the
bottom, which also served the purpose
of protecting the young trees from the
depredations of the rabbits and other
rodents. which did me considerable
damage. Squirrels will unearth the
nuts when planted, and rabbits will
gnaw the bark aud cut off the tender
sprouts.
The tree will come into bearing in
eight to ten years. A tree at that age
will produce bushel, Or AZ pounds, and
sell readily at S.. At fifteen to twenty
years the yield will be 10 bushels or
more to the tree. I have seen trees
produce as high as 40 bushels, and I
have paid $3.50 for the product of one
tree. Thus we can readily draw the
conclusion that the profits of the pecan
will soon rival that of the famous Flor
ida and California orange groves. The

THE BEST OF LIFE.

Not till life's heat Is cooled,
Tho headlong rush slowed to a quiet pace.
And every purblind passion that has ruled
Our noisier years, at last
spurs US In vain, and, weary OF the race,
we care no more who loses or who wins
All! not till all che best of life Seems past
The best OF life begins.
To toll for only fame.
Handclappings and the tickle gusts of praise,
For place or power or gold TO gild O name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring US, were to lose our days,
We on whose ears youths passing bell has
toiled
In blowing bubbles even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled US lies
Broken among our childhoods toys, for then
We win to self control
And mail ourselves In manhood and there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto the soul
What stars are to the night

THE WRESTLING PILLOW.
Filled the House with Horror and Made
Night HideOus.

FILLED the House with Horror and Made
Night Hideous.
Mr.. John q. Rumble was man after
his own name. You could always tell
when John G. was about because he
was always kicking" about some
thing. He had dyspepsia and was
troubled with insomnia. He had tried
all the well-known cures, and yet only
averaged about three hours sleep a
night. He was queer looking char
acter, was John e., he was so awfnlly
bald; with a pink, shining dome, sur
rounded by a rim of stubby hair. he
looked sallow and disconnected and
lean and altogether Disguised with life.
His wife was very fond of him and
petted him as much as he would allow.
One day some one suggested that he
get rubber pillow. 1t was argued
that the pillow would keep his bead
cool and allow him to go to sleep.
He was willing to try anything, so
he bought the pillow. That night he
inflated it, and as he placed his head
on it he said to his wife:
''Ah! this is the thing. I'll be able
to sleep with this, sure" And he &C,
tually dropped off to sleep without
delay.
His wife was delighted.
An hour or two later she awoke
with thrill of horror; she felt some
thing on her feet. She was sure it was
the hand of the midnight assassin. As
soon as she could get her voice she
gave vent to shrek that brought
John G. on to the floor with bound.
''Murder!'' she yelled. ''Some body's
got me by the feet" John G. struck a
light and investigated. It was the
rubber pillow.
John G. put the pillow in place and
went to sleep once more.
Mrs. Rumble was just doing Off
shs was still very neryous-when she
heard low, continuous whistle. She
sat up and listened. She was sure it
was a signal from a burglar under the
bed to an accomplish downstairs. Her
heart seemed to stop beating for
awhile and then she shook her hus-
band awake and into sitting posture.
Then the whistling ceased.
John, she whispered. II heard a
whistle in this very room. Some one
is under the bed"
81 can't hear no whistle" said John,
Grossly and sleepily. and straightway
dropped off to sleep again. The whis-
tie sounded again and she shook John
once more. John got up and lit the
gas and looked around the room.
Then he noticed his pillow was very
fat and the whistling robber mystery
was solved. The cap on the tube of
the pillow had worked loose in its
journey around the bed and Johns
head had been pressing the wind out
OF it; when he arose and took away
the pressure the whistling ceased.
Mrs. Rumble's nerves had had all
the rubber pillow they could stand,
and John will haVe to go back to
counting sheep if lie wants to sleep,
for his rubber pillow is up in the attic
behind an old trunk. Kansas City
