One Important Problem
UnSOlYed,

Whatever may be our position,
our circumstances, or our possibil-
tiles, there remains one problem
unsolved, namely, what can be done
for the eradication of the evil that
has so abundantly spread it's de-
structible roots as to almost en-
compass the human mind?
There has been a great deal said
on this subject by others, who
have been able to give to it more
stress and intellect than I am able
to do. But as member of the
present generation, [ feel inspired
with sort of duty to take hand
in the game and give full play to
a few thoughts conceived, even
if I lose.
It is readily seen by the average
thinker that existing evils will never
be thoroughly eradicated as long
as the human family exists in its
material form. We may through
an assiduous and repeated practice
of that which is pure and true so
stigmatize our evil tendencies as
to make them appear obnoxious
and offensive. Our good qualities
will then become a second nature,
thus extending a remarkable as

COCOanutS.

The other day l saw chap eat
ing cocoanut. It was one of
those measly, dried-up affairs you
see offered for sale by the Dago on
the corner. There was very little
milk in it and what little it did
contain was rancid.
"Shiver m timbers!" [ thought
as | watched him gorge himself,
chow would you act if you had
cocoanut just off the tree?''
You poor deluded landlubbers
in America don't know whata good
cocoanut looks like. There is as
much difference between cocoa
nut bought in this country and
one picked directly from the tree
as there is between a pretty girl
and load of coal. There is moth
ing more delicious than a fresh,
green nut picked off the tree just
after the husk has formed and
there is nothing to it but husk and
milk. All you have to do is to cut
the top off the nut and there you
have a quart of cool, luscious
cocoanut milk. Or take a nut a
month or SO later when, after
drinking the milk, one could take
a spoon and scoop out the rich
meat that would fairly melt in ones
mouth. Um-um-m-the mere
thought is enough to make one
wish one had been born monkey.
I have often gathered a few nuts
in the husk and stored them away
in a warm, damp place such as the
hold of ship, until they had
sprouted and little palm tree had
grown foot or so high. During
this time the meat and milk had
formed ball of tiny rootlets about
the size of a hens egg. These balls,
or ''cocoanut apples" as we sailors
called them, made delicious eating
and it's many a half ripe cocoanut
I have kept hidden until it had
formed an apple.

thousands. [ was once a mission.

The total number of books drawn

to the night school, as the prison

We are living lin a time when

Then how can we expect to be

actions and taunts not the least

eye sees the world as one vast

the human race, to not only have
this true knowledge, but to also,

abuses, but morals must also be-
modified. "Tho the mill no longer

When we all have thus complied
with the moral and social laws
then we shall have solved that one
