surbank Talks About Pecans.

Luther Burbank, the horticultural wizard of California, is quoted as say ing, regarding the possibilities of the pecan industry of Texas:
 If I were young man I would go to Texas, knowing as l do the possi- bilities of the pecan industry, and de- vote my life in propogating new species of the pecan and in doing the same work there in nut culture as have done here in other lines of hor- ticulture. Your pecan is superior to our walnut, and you are standing in your own light; why not develop it?

That is a pretty travesty of Leigh Hunts about Abou Ben Adhem, whose name led all the rest" It will be remembered he was one who loved his fellow men," Few men en- deavor to write their names indelibly with Ben Adhem pencil. They have written with the sword, with the pen, with the brush, with the chisel. with the hrain, but few there are who have write as Ben Adhem did Is Hunts beautiful poem mere fancy? Is it possible for a man to so write his name by kindness, through deeds of love for his fellow man, so unchange- able, that it will last until eternity, leading all the rest?

POINTERS ID RANDOM
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

Oh! for pitcher who can go the whole route
 Even after his bad showing in the third inning, which gave the Crackers a lead of three runs, had Robertaille delivered the goods the Barons would have achieved a glorious victory.
 For in spite of the handicap placed at the beginning of the game the locals per formed in magnificent style, fighting an excellent uphill game up to that point wEere a certain victory was lodged.
 But in the second half of the tenth Robertaille was "all in," and every Cracker hit him hard.
 The defeat of yesterday was the third miserable dose that local fans have had to swallow this season.
 Of the 13 hits that Robertaille yielded, ten were allowed in two innings, the third and the tenth.
 The hitting in the third gave the Crackers three runs, and to all intents and purposes, the game.
 After the Barons had overcome the handicap and established a lead of two runs, the hitting of the Crackers in the tenth Robertales second bad inning, dashed their hopes again to earth.
 The Barons played in great form, field ing splendidly, stealing bases with great abandon. and hitting opportunely. They were evidently determined to win the fight, for after the Crackers lead Of three runs, they accepted every chance, however daring, and played in spectacu- lar roles.
 But no team can win, it matters not how excellently it performs, when it's pitcher cannot deliver the goods.
 There were many features to the game. In the first inning the Barons filled the bases while no one was down. Vie-
