New Orleans SUGAR.

New DEMONSTRATING in the local
sugar market Saturday was confined
to the light receipts from plantations.
They failed to show any style, but all
were sold. Prices were strong and
unchanged. Refined sugars were in
fair demand, with no change in quota
tions. New York refined sugars were
in fair demand at quotations. Mo-
lasses and syrups were nominal. Re-
ceipts were mainly of blackstrap, and
all found ready outlet. Sugar quo
tations: Yellow, S 7-16c; seconds, 80

A New England farmer, noted for
his uncontrolled temper, became con-
verted, according to the st. Louis Re
public.
A month later he was holding forth
to a number of friends and relatives
gathered at the Thanksgiving dinner
table on the subject of his religious
principles, his entire change of char
acter and his kind and forbearing dis
position
Finally growing enthusiastic in his
description, he called on his wife to
uphold his assertions.
"Jane," he shouted, you haven't
had an unkind word or deed from me

There was dead silence; then
came in meek, yet reminding tones
from the other end of the table.

TEXAS PECAN CROP LARGE
Rain Came Late Enough to Mature
the Pollen on the Trees-The
Market.

San Antonio, Tex.-Reports from
Uvalde county, the Nueces river val
ley. the Colorado river valley, Lam
pasas, Brownwood and other pecan
producing sections are to the effect
that the pecan crop this year will be
practically as large as last year de-
spite the drouth. The rain came late
enough to mature the pollen on the
trees and the result is that the crop
will be up to the standard.
The total value of the Texas crop
this year is estimated at $2.000,O00.
The pecans produced in Texas are
more than one-haf of the crop of the
entire world.
The pecans are already beginning to
drop and picking will be we'll under
way in two more weeks.
A. number of the grated groves, con-
sisting Of the paper shelled pecans,
will begin bearing this year for the
first time. These pecans are in big
demand in all portions of the United
States at fancy prices.
At Uvalde last year one grower net
ted $2,4O0 from twenty acres of ma
tive pecan trees and expects to do
fully as well this year. He has plant
ed out an additional twenty acres in
the thin shelled variety and expects
to top work all the native varieties
this year to the improved pecans.
Uvalde ships more pecans than any
one city in the United States. Brown
wood is a close second. San Antonio
is the largest pecan market in the
world. More than one-half the Texas
crop is sold there The pecans are
then hulled and shipped to confec-
tionery dealers in all portions of Eu-
rope.
The fact that the pecan crop is so
large will do much to offset the short
age of the cotton and other crops in
this section and will bring in money at
a time when it is badly needed.

Childish Wisdom.

Now and then the seemingly casual
remarks of the little ones plumb i'm
pressive spiritual and psychological
depths. Little Jean, for instance, list
ened to the conversation of two adults
with silent interest until one of the
ladies, speaking of an unsatisfactory
photograph remarked that few moth
ers were pleased with portraits OF
their children, for the reason that the
children did not look to others as they
did to the loving maternal eye. III
Said Jean eagerly:
No. and children don't look at 9th
er people as they look at their moth,
ers, ether"

Desiard, six miles northeast of Mon

at $4,000, including a large quantity
of bagging and ties purchased for use
in baling this years crop. Mr.. Stevens
had $4,000 insurance. Sheriff Jack
Parker was notified, and at once went

Boil WeeviI Active.

Boyce-Almost daily rains are dam
aging open cotton materially. The
cotton crop in this section is not as
good by any means as was predicted
several weeks ago. The boil weevil
has been very active during the month
of August, doing serious damage.
There will be no top crop. Caterpil-
lars are very active now, but it is said
that the ravages of this pest will prove
of benefit to the crop, in the sense
that the destruction of the leaves of
the plant lets in the suns rays to
the boil and prevents rotting.

Keep Soldiers Near Border.

Washington.-That there may be
plenty of cavalry soldiers in the South
for police duty along the Mexican
frontier in times of emergency, the
war department has decided to estab-
lish two squadrons of mounted troops
at Fort Huachuaca and Fort Apache,
Arizona, instead of as at present.
The headquarters, band and ten
troops of the two squadrons will be
located at Fort Huachuaca, while the
remaining two troops will be stationed
at Fort Apache. Three railroads en-
tering Mexico intersect at Douglas,
Ariz, near Fort Huachuaca, and the
latter consequently is considered an
ideal place to develop.
