Girl the Nation Ia Proud OF.

One of the first places we visited In
Syracuse, ~ Y, was the MARY Eliza
beth" candy mandatory. through
which we were most courteously
shown by the mother of the famous
young lady whose story is we'll known
now. A certain prominent and sup
posedly wealthy Judge OF Syracuse
died. and when his estate was settled
up 1t was found to be so involved that
there was no income. His children
began to be seriously embarrassed,
but MARY Elizabeth"-a granddaugh-
ter-who. In the prosperous days, had
become an expert In making choco-
lates, came to the rescue. She began
to make candies, and the family all
turned In and helped. From smallest
beginnings, and after many struggles,
they have built up thriving business,
have a force OF employees. adequate
machinery, and get dollar a pound
for delicate confectionery. unrivaled

"Just as the people of the north eat
peanuts In great quantities so do the
people of the south eat pecans," re-
marked Allan Dupre, a merchant of
New Orleans. "On the streets OF New
Orleans are many venders who sell
them in all sorts OF ways-shelled,
unshelled and in candy form. Pea
nuts are sold, too, but pecans have
far greater sale.
ITO meet the demand for them,
which is growing, pecan orchards are
now being laid out in the bottom lands
of the far south. When old timber is
cut down pecan trees are planted.
Many pecan orchards are gradually
growing up. They are OF slow
growth, requiring about 15 or 90
years to reach maturity, but they are
profitable. The main supply comes
from Mexico, some 60 carloads OF
shelled pecans being shipped from
there every year, for the most part to
be consumed In the south. but In a
decade the main supply will come
from the southern states which will
thus gain a new industry"

blood was used for this was the only
ink at that early time in this northern
land. The books are bound in rough
strips of beech wood, reinforced with
brass and iron clasps. The paper is
faded and brown, but the curious old
Morse letters, carefully penned with
goose quill, are still distinct and
clear. although the bright crimson of
the blood is somewhat dimmed. These
volumes are all on religious subjects,
and consist of psalms, Bible verses
and spiritual teachings.
They are very precious books, after
their long wanderings with the Ice

Canada, and from Canada to North

in their adopted land even as the Ice
