The principle of rest is the principle

All are involved to some extent In ev-

Let us see what will happen If we
plnce the body in reclining position
so comfortably arranged that absolute
physical repose would seem inevitable.
Then let the mind take hold of some
problem and concentrate on 1t until all
the mental energy is aroused. This en-
ergy is unconsciously communicated
to the nervous system, and soon the en-
tire physical self is in a highly tensed
condition. Few people realize this I'M
til their attention is called to it. They
think they must be resting when the

to thoroughly understand, for this

Remember always that the mind Is
the great controlling power, and it is
only when the mind becomes as nearly
as possible a perfect blank that the
body can rest satisfactorily. If the
body would rest. the mind must rest

rom Merivale to Franklin:

kTOm MeT1V6ae TO FRANKLIN:
II have just learned from Mr..
Moses Dennison that there is another
claimant to the land about which we
have been in correspondence. OF
course expect to have all titles
thoroughly examined by my attor-
neys before I close any bargain with
you, What does Dennison mean?
WHAT sort Of interest has John T.
Wright In the land? Answer at
once,
To this Franklin replied:
II cannot learn from Wright the
grounds upon which he bases his
claim to ownership, unless there is
some flaw in the title of which he has
taken advantage; or else some mis-
carriage in the payment Of taxes re-
sulting in u sale of the land. OF which
/ know nothing. 1t is possible that
Wright may have some lien upon the
land. will Investigate, and II find
that 1t can be wiped out for reason
able sum Of money, would you be
willing to supply the cash?"
To this Mr.. Merivale wrote In re-
ply:
"Of course I would. Wipe out the
defect at once, whatever 1t Is, no
matter what 1t costs. am willing to
advance any sum necessary, with the
understanding that 1t is to be repaid
from the receipts OF the mine. Write
me at your earliest convenience the
exact nature of the defects, and let
me know the amount of money you
need"
Franklin to Merivale,
IA good many years ago the Colo
RADIO tract was sold to a stock COM
pany In which I was the principal
stakeholder. AS you know, the land
had foria long time been considered
practically worthless. had almost
en-, ely lost sight Of 1t and long con-
sidered 1t a hopelessly worthless In
vestment. put my shares Of stock
away and never looked at them care
fully until a few months ago. when
I discovered that considerable pro-
portion of them had been lost, or, as
I now suspect deliberately abstract
ed. Enough are missing TO place me
In o minority, and I suspect that
Wright, or some one behind him, had

Of freezing me out; and I strongly

: already have-get a majority Of the
existing stock. II I only had the
services of some good detectives and
some money to collect evidence,
could easily defeat the damnable
scheme which has been organized
against me-"
Merivale replied as follows:
II am perfectly willing to spend
money. to get possession Of the new
land, but If you do not own ma.
jority Of the stock do not see what
is to be gained by any further cor
fespondence on the subject. Unless

PLANT PECANS.

The Cuero Star gives the follwing
good advice to its readers, which
might be adopted with profit any
where in South Texas: "a few
weeks yet remain in which pecan
trees may be set out and instead OF
putting out ash or blackberry,
pecans should be tried as they are
a prettier tree and then if given
proper care will pay handsomely.
Care in transplanting make them
as easily grown as anyOther forest
tree, as was made very plain by
the recent visit of Mr.. Kirkpatrick
the tree expert. Our public school
yard and side walks ought to be
planted in pecan trees and the
boys given a few lessons in budding
good stock on them. From Mr..
Kirpatrick's demonstration any boy
can do it,"
