to show it to Clara J., and then renig
on 1t because 1t was haunted.
When the alarm clock went to work
the next morning Clara J. turned
around and gave it q look that made
its teeth chatter.
She had been up and doing an hour
before that clock grew nervous
enough to crow.
Her enthusiasm was so great that
she was BusyLizzie long before 7
o'clock and we we're not booked to
leave the Choo-Choo House till 1890.
About 8 o'clock she dragged me
away from drama and l reluctantly
awoke to realization of the fact that
was due to deliver some goods which
/ had never seen and didn't want to
see.

with a degree Of excitement in her
voice, Its getting dreadfully late and

In the pillow to keep from swearing.
"Oh, dear mel" she sighed, I'm
afraid I'm just bit sorry to leave
this sweet little apartment. We've
been so happy here, haven't WEI"
I grabbed the ball and broke
through the center for 10 yards.
Sorry" I echoed, tearfully; why,
it's breaking my heart to leave this
coy little collar box of a home and

There would be barn, and you
haven't any idea how dangerous barns
are. They are the curse of country
life. barns are"
well, then, John, why did you buy
the cow" she inquired, and l went up
and punched hole in the plaster.
Why did l buy the COW? Was there
COW? Had Bunch ever mentioned
COW to me? Come to think Of it,
he hadn't, and there l was cooking
trouble over slow fire.

Something keeps telling me that a

Georqia's Wealth in Pecans.

A dispatch from Albany published re
Gently in the Constitution indicated
that within the last four months $1,000
acres Of pecan lands had been sold ir
and around Dougherty county
Preparations are under way fol-
planting this tremendous area in the
tOOthsome nut that promises so large
revenue to Georgia.
The problem regarding this especia
industry has lately changed from ont
Of selling nature to one of getting
lands to sell.
At present, it is said, there is az
actual famine of pecan lands readily
available.
To be sure there are still large I'm.
occupied tracts in the pecan belt, but
the owners, foresee the possibilities Of
tremendous development and are in no
hurry to rush their holdings on the
market.
Within only comparatively recent
years has the country awakened to
Georgia's potentialities with regard to
pecans.
Now it is common knowledge among
investors that orchards properly tend.
ed-and the expense of so doing is
small-return dividends beside which
many other crops are negligible
1t Is logical that in course of time
the pecan will become one of the
states best revenue producers
The pecan, moreover, is only one
item. Georgia has plenty more such at
her back to inspire the activities of the
Greater Georgia association and other
organizations engaged in the mission
of development.-Atlan Constitution.

Tacks was slightly in the lead when
my shoe reached the door, so he won.
At breakfast we were joined by
Uncle Peter and Aunt Martha, both of
whom fairly oozed enthusiasm, and
Clara Us pulse began to climb with
excitement and anticipation.
I was on the bargain counter mark
ed down from 80 cents.
Every time Uncle Peter sprang a
new idea in reference to his garden,
and they came so fast they almost
choked him, l felt burning bead of
perspiration start out to explore my
forehead.
Presently to put the froth of fear
upon my cup of sorrow there came a
telegram from Bunch" which read as
follows:
New York.
John Henry,
No. 301 w. 109th st.
Sister and family will move in coun.

your game today. Good luck.
Bunch.
Poor John! you look so worried. -
said Clara J. anxiously; II really hope
it is nothing that will call you back
to town for a week at least. It will
take us fully week to get settled
don't you think so, Aunt Martha?"
l dove into my coffe-cup and stayed
under a long time. When l came to
the surface again Uncle Peter was ex.
planning to Tacks that baked beans

in the general confusion the telegram
was forgotten by all except my har.

no mention was made of the trunks =;

On the way out Tacks left small
parcel with one of the hall boys with
instructions to hand It to the janitor
as soon as possible.
TITS little present for the janitor

that sounded like catch in his voice.
Hasn't that boy lovely DISPOSE

to be so forgiving to the janitor after
the horrid man had sworn at him and
blamed him for putting a cat in the

who abominated cats and who
screamed and fell over in tub of
suds when she opened the dumb.

the cat jumped at her? Mercy! how
can the boy be SO generous?"
Tacks bore up bravely under this
panegyric of praise and his face wore
a rapt expression which amounted al
most to religious fervor.
What did you give the janitor,
Angel-Face?' I asked.
"Only just another remembrance
Tacks answered, solemnly. II hap

under the gas range, and I thought
I'd farewell the janitor with it."

PROVED A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

What was at first regarded as moth
ing but a curse is now found to have
had some of the elements of a blessing
mixed up with It. We refer t othe boil
'weeyiI, whose ravages in the cotton
fields Of Texas threatened ruin 10
large sections of that state. It now
appears that as a result of it's vista
ton the sections in which, it operated
are today richer than ever before. The
boil weevil did what all the preaching
in the world would never have accom-
plshed. It reyoIutionized the farming
system Of the country, drove the farm
ers to a diversiication of their crops,
and now. to their joy, and probably
as well to their surprise, they find
themselves richer, with their lands
yielding much greater profits and adj
vaneing more rapidly in value than
before the boil weeviI first invaded the
fields.
It is frequently the case in life that
what seemed a disaster beyond calcu-
lat.on, with nothing but evil in its as
Dect, turns out in the end to have more
of the elements of a blessing in it than
of a curse. The fact that in Texas the
boil weevil has not left ruined terri
tory behind it is very comforting now
that the insect is approaching closer
to Georgia and its advent in large
numbers is looked for within the next
three years. There is no reason to be-
lieve that we can escape it. Come it
must and come it will But with the
lesson of Texas we can await it's ap-
proach with far more equanimity than
would have been the case a few years
ago. Here is what Governor Sanders.
Of Texas, has to say of the result OF
its work in that state
Before the irruption of the Mex
can pest the Texas farmer raised cot
ton almost exclusively, and had to look
| to other sections of the country for
lis food supply. Brought by the wee
vii to the necessity Of growing hog and
homlny at home, Gov, Sanders says the
result has been that with a season or
two Of diversified farming the bank
returns show larger deposits than when
cotton was grown to the exclusion Oh
food products. Truck farmers, who
formerly were cotton planters, then
thought times were prosperous if an
acre Of land yielded SIS, whereas now
$500 to $500 an acre is realized.
Gov Sanders, the Washington Post
says, might add that Texas is rapidly
driving Span sh and Bermuda onions
out of our markets by furnishing m
equally good article at a closer figure.
Of course, rice and sugar cane are
old Texan industries, h8 through the
reclamation of swamp Is in the gulf
region, the acreage being largely
extended and the production increased
correspondingly All this adds to the
decreased cost of living-how strange
that sounds and goes to carry con-
viction along with Gov Sanders con-
Guiding remark:
Yes, the boil weeyil was a bless
ing in disguise, and it will eventually
prove a greater one"
