To take my poor Rosa-she's grown
such a fright.
She is blind in one eye
And her wigs all awry,
For she sleeps in my bed with me all

explained to dear Rosa just why she

And then. do you know,
When the time came to go
snatched up my Rosa and ran all

And-what do you think?-of the SIX

There were four that were blind, there

COMPRESSED TABLETS OF TEA.
Novel Experiment Undertaken by the
Department of Agriculture,

The latest novel experiment to be
made by the Department Of AgricuI-
ture is that of COMPRISING tea into
tablets, one of which will make de-
licious cup of tea. AS a result, what
would ordinarily make a big package
Of tea, can BY this new and unique
method be placed in space about
the size of safety match box The
tea is grown at the departments ex-
perimental gardens at Summerville,
S. C. The department has been en-
gagged in this experiment for some
time, and last week large box OF
sample packages of tablets was re-
ceived by DR.. Galloway, director OF
the Bureau of Plant Industry, for IN
spection. Bach little box of COM
pressed tea contains twenty tablets
about the size of a cent. but about
DR.. Galloway says that the most ia.
vorable reports have been made by
those who have tried the tablets.
They are said to contain no aduter-
ant. 1t is explained that the taste
Of the tea is in no way improved by
the form OF tablets, but the chief
value lies in the fact that it is COM
pressed and takes up less room
1t has been the object of the de-
partmert for some time to find means
CT providing food for the army and
navy which could be prepared in
such q way as to save space, but so
far ali attempts have proved unsat,

officials of the department that these
tablets will fill not only government
but those of general
and family use.-Wasc |

THE PECAN.

The pecan IS a variety OF the wal
nut, growing most abundantly In oul
Southwestern States.
AS we see it for sale. it is thin
shelled nut, pointed at both ends
about an inch and half long 1t
has been taken from its outer snei
cleaned and polished by turning very
rapidly in cylinders, until the black
lines which are often on it are se.-
dom seen on its bright reddish shell.
A tree is usually thirty years Old
before it bears many nuts. The ker-
mel is very oily, but to many people
the best nut of all to the taste. yet
1t has an inner coating quite puck
cry to the lips and tongue.
PecanS are at their best when fill
Ing the soft nest OF a removed hard
date stone. The sweet date takes
away the ''pucker," while the little
pecan gives life ard flavor to the very
rich sweet date.

STICK TO 1T.

A very successful business man vas
once asked the secret of his great
success in life, and he said in reply:
/ Why, | decided early in life just
what | intended to do and be and
then | stuck to it. | often think that
one reason why SO many boys of our
day fail in life is because they do not
stick to thing long enough to make
a success Of it."
/ There is world Of good advice in
| the three little words, stick to It."
The vacillating boy who jumps from
one thing to another will never sue
coed in life. One must nave a sort
OF bulldog tenacity in holding on 10
things If one is to make them go"
Sometimes one should stick all the
closer to ones purpose when the out
look is most discouraging AS the
lowest stage of the water at the sea-
shore always precedes turn of the
tide, SO the most discouraging state
OF ones worldly affairs often precedes
change for the better
Too many boys and men get this
pernicious 'get-rich-quick" idea into
their heads. and they are not dispos-
ed to stick to anything very long il
It does not promise immediate and
large returns.
Now the "get-rich-quick" idea is
about as evil an idea as boy can get
into his head. 1t is first cousin to
the Notwithstanding" idea.
1t is a bad day in the life of a
boy when he wants to come into pos
session of a dollar without having
honestly earned it. 1t is bad day for |
him when he begins to have kind !
OF contempt for the slow and sure |
and honorable way of acquiring mon
ey. The boy who gets this Idea into |
his head will never stick to anything |
very long, and he will be sure to de-
velop into scheming, visionary kind
Of man who is forever on the eve Of
making large fortune He will spend
q great deal Of his time in figuring
out" large fortunes on paper while
other men are simply sticking to their
business and slowly but surely &C.
QuITlnS competency.
The "get-rich-Quick" idea makes
business good for our jails and State
prisons. Many Of their cells are &C.
cupied by adherents to the 'get-r1ch-
lu1ck' methods OF making money. 1t
IS an idea that invariably weakens
ones moral perceptions.
The stick-to-it method develops and
strengthens character. Sudden pos
session of great wealth, even when
hat wealth is acquired honestly, is
'ften the ruination Of its possessor.
lie IS not prepared to make proper
Ind wise use Of a fortune that has
'Ost him nothing. No one better un-
lerstands the value Of money than
he man who has slowly and honest
y acquired wealth Such a man is
norc likely to regard his wealth as
rust to be used more for the benefit
I Others than for his own selfish uses.
You boys who are SO soon to be-
ome men cannot 90 wiser thing

be trade or the business or the pro-
ession You may adopt when You be-
In life for yourselves.
Be sure that you are right in choos- /:
