SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Edited By Careless Jane

of young people, who covet a po-
sition so far above them that they
despair of ever reaching it. If
the place is worth the trouble of
striving for, and if we strive man
fully and persistently, the chanc-
eS Of winning success are all in
our favor, and the hard struggle
is the very best possible dicipline
for what the effort brings us.
Even if we fail, we ought to be
stronger, and surer of ourselves,
because of the fruitless attempt,
and our failure should serve as a
stepping-stone to a higher level
than we could reach without it.

The Pain of Work
(By Holly Dean Williams)

(By Holly Dean Williams)
A group of artists, who figure
as characters in a modern novel,
are discussing the work of one OF
their craft whose pictures have
been universally admired. The
pictures are faultless, they agree,
the technique is perfect, the col
oring superb, but something is
lacking. What is itY
"He paints joy and sorrow as
though he had never known eth
er," one observes.
"He paints with an unscarred
SOUL" another declares, while a
third puts much the same thought
in slightly different language:
"That man has never known
the pain of work. "
This artist had been a hard
worker-they all admit that. He
never could have won the distinc-
tion he did, if he had been an
idler.
But everything had gone
smoothly with him. He had
never passed through the bitter
discipline of failure and dis
coursgsment, and thus his work
lacked the human quality which
comes Of the common experience.
Tie pain of work isn't pleas
ant, but it serves its purpose,
What we call despondmgly ga
fiat failure" ought to mellow our
sympathies for others who fail,
and every success We achieve af-
forwards oaght to bear the i'm
press of it. The life of Jesus
could not be what it is to us, il it
had gone on smoothly from the
cradle to the grave. What he
did takes an added attractive
ness and power, because he knew
the "pain of work"
This is thought full of gener-
Gus encouragement for thousands

eral hundred pupils. The negroes
have good public school with
two teachers and an enrolment C
about forty pupils.
The taxation for city, county
and state purposes is not consider
ed excessive, and considering that
property heretofore has been as
sessed at about one-third its real
value there has been little occa-
sion for dissatisfaction from this
source.
The town contains two substan-
tial banks, an excellent telephone
system with connections all over
the neighboring counties; post
Office, telegraph and express off
ces; several private boarding
houses, four hotels; plenty of
grocery, dry goods, drug and 9TH
er stores to supply all the de-
mands of the trade; machine, wag-
on and boat shops; ice factory,
two bottling works, cigar factor
les, a livery stable, newspaper
and job printing office, bakeries
restaurants, town hall flourish
ing lodges of Masons, Woodmen
of the World, Red Men and Mac
cabees, a plant for making con-
crete building blocks; FIVE law
yers, four physicians, one dentist,
a number of real estate men, etc.
The chief industry is fishing, in
which six wholesale firms with 800
or more men are engaged. Capt.
tai invested in the business is es-
timated at $150,000, and large
shipments of fish on ice are made
almost daily during the fishing
seasons. The bulk of the fish
shipped are mullet, but many
pompano, Spanish mackerel, bass,
trout, sheep-head, snapper and
other fine food fish are shipped.
The oyster business is small.
Next to fishing, the cultivation
of fancy pincapplcs engages most
attention, as the profits of this
industry often reach $500 an acre.
1t requires about $500 to prop
erly prepare and plant an acre in
Ipineapples, but after this, 5000 a
year would cover the cost of cul-
tivation. The plants bear in
twelve to eighteen months after
planting and continue to bear an
lnually thereafter without replant-
| ing for five or six years.
Truck farming is an industry
yet in its infancy and Offering
good returns on intelligent and
LYell directed efforts. Profitable
