life? Not only have the big joys
of our lives been apart from it, but
the little everyday pleasures that
warm the heart and brighten the
eye are in no way dependent on the
Job we hold or the compensation 1t
brings us. And the sorrows, great
or small, that come to us, are far
from being assuaged by whatever
"a good job" can award us.
What is the strongest and most
persistent memory that clings to the
thought of the little battered school
house back east" where you and l
thumbed our spoilers and ornament
ed our "jografies"? Why, Friday
afternoon, of course! That great
hour of the week when, abashed, re-
luctant, yet with thrill we would
never admit, we charged with the
Light Brigade or heard Marmion
beard the Douglas in his hall. Bank
discount we have long since forgot
ten; partial payments and cube root
are in the limbo of long-forgotten
things; we should falter, it is con-
fessed, if suddenly asked to spell
"phthisic' or bound Afghanistan;
but we shall always remember
how Spartacus stood before the
gladiators and thundered aye call
me chief!"
Nothing practical" about it,
however; as we mix medicine or
mortar, as we trade in sanded SUI
gar or watered stocks, we find
very little use for such memories.
Yet, we would unwillingly trade
them for an earlier knowledge of
the methods by which business

The days of the little school
house passed on, and high school
and college days came in swiftly
moving panorama. We campaigned
with Caesar, wandered with Aen-
cas-; and most of us are richer for
the experience, though it added not
a cent to the pay envelope. Cicero
opened wonderful vistas for us in
his language and ours but the man
who pays you to keep his books
cares not whit whether you ever
heard him in eloquent appeal to the
Roman fathers. How lightly you
crossed the pons asinorum is a
matter of little moment to him.
How much you learned of the
deeds of Charlemagne or the con-
quests of Napoleon is immaterial
in the business world. None of
these things are really practical"
none of them bring "a job with the
diploma"
And yet few of us, even if then
we rebelled against conjugation or
theorem, would be willing now, as
we look back, to change those

pity to have been discussing Ham

useless waste of time to read Mol

of law and government when we
might have been learning by "prac-

w something of reversion
+" to the ideas of an earlier
stage of our country's existence.
After all, we are not quite so much
Natures Masters as we like to be-
lieve. Fire and frost may do our
bidding; but we are more apt to
do theirs. Something of the spirit
lof pioneer days comes back to US
with the whistle of the storm
through leafless branches and the
crackle of snow beneath our feet.
We like to think of the days and
deeds of our forbears, as they fore
ed their way through untrodden
forests or across the painless prairie.
We like to hear-in memory-the
swing of axes telling mighty trees,
or to see the plow patiently turning
the unbroken sod.
Mans struggle with the forces
;of nature is the great world-drama
whose beginning is lost in the mists
of the ages, whose end is obscured
lin the rose-clouds of the future.
Though steel and steam have con-
quered sea and land, though the
plow leave no acre unturned in its
triumphal progress, though every
desert blossom as the rose, yet shall
the struggle go on, in laboratory
and workshop. it may be, in study
or observatory. In sense, all life
is pioneering.
But on the older days of hard
ship and prowess we sometimes like
to dwell. These are the tales that
linger in the memory-of the meag-
err clearing and the rough-hewn
cabin; of the ice-stilled stream and

September %, 1880. Only one is

forbade the publication, and no

Several weeks ago THE DEMOCRAT
STAR called attention to the fact that
the pecan nuts were ripening earlier
than usual this year, and close inquiry
was begun to ascertain whether this
ripening was peculiar TO any one par.
ticuIar locality or TO any one particu-
lar specie OF the varieties Of the nuts.
This inquiry has resulted 10 the es-
tablishment Of the fact that every
variety OF pecans grown along the
coast is showing the same general
tendency to cartier ripening.
Early in the year general comment
was made on the extremely luxuriant
towering Of the pecan trees through.
out the entire territory. This heavy
towering naturally foretold q large
crop, very large crop, OF the nuts.
In the spring, however, along about
April, II memory serves correctly, a
considerable wind storm visited the
