Yike Mariners Becalmed 1 find it in my heart to wish— not for the first time—that Ticky's viewpoint of life—especially that cross section of it which I share— were a more’ serious one. To me marriage is not a game. but a stern reality softened only by the knowledge of the love Dicky and T bear to each other. It 1 were to liken our marriage to anything, it would be to a long sea voyage, With stretches of sunshine and heavenly calm, other periods of darkness and ter- rible storme. Sometimes our matri- monial craft rides free and ciear on a peaceful sunlit sea. At other times it creeps fearfully between | jagged rocks with overwheiming odds against its gaining safe har- bor again.

Neverthe- css, sheep are a source of profit in that country at this moment. Don't therefore, geet discouraged if there are some fallures; and remember that, on examination, the pessimist will usually be found not to be a very competent creature, “Let the people here not be dis- couraged. When John Smith settled in Virginia, for years things were so bad that they started clearing out, and they had to get their provisions from abroad. Mortality oeccurred sufficlent to cause a panic in any colony, The: history of these colo- nies was checkered with disasters, considerably more than this protec- orate will ever have to face, “The second thing.I want to say is to the individual settler himself, The government can do much, in various directions, but the one all- important factor in the success of each individual settler must be that individual's own character and ca- pacity. 1f there is any point as to which he can make the government better and more responsive to the needs of the settlers, it is his duty to work for the achievement of these ends. But he can set it down as an absolute certainty that a pound of complaint won't help him as much as an ounte of real effort to do his own business well. What he has to face is the need for genu- ine hard work—work fthat needs special training and capacity. “It is the farmer, the man who grows wheat or cotton, breeds sheep or cattle—whichever it may be—the man who makes his profit out of the wool or meat, or a dairy or frult or some other product of the soll, upon whose success the permanent success of this country must dépend. The discovery of paying mineral de: posits would be a good thing—but with not much stress on the good— but it would be of no consequence from the standpoint of your perma- nent well-being when compared to the welfare of the farmer; for a sud- den boom, and a few great fortunes, in no shape or way take the place of steady and permanent growth among those who come to. take possession ‘r:f the soil, and to leave it as an ja- heritance to their children who are to grow up in this country. | “Now, a farmer's business is just as mnch a science as any other's. Nobody would think that a farmer could over night turn bookkéeper or llawyer. Yet, in every new.country, | many people drift in who seem: to think that bookkeepers and lawyers, and men who have never done a stroke of real work for a living at all, can suddenly become guccessful |farmers. A quarter of & century ago I met any number of such men in the west. They were generally young fejlows from-. the eastern states or from England, who. perhaps | had never done any work at all, or | who had perhaps not been over< succeesful as clerks or in some other sedentary occupation. “They would come out there with a small capital which they would proceed fo invest without any knowle edge; they would half-heartedly and fecbly try to work at -something totally alicn to them; and then, un- lcss they had exceptional stuff in hem, they would sag behind in the race of life and gradually become what we called ‘remittance men'— | that is to say, shiftless creatures who lived on. whatever their fami~ lies were able to send them. ince '] have been in this coun- try, 1 have known more than one young man coming hither with five hundred or a thousand pounds, and no experience whatever in his past which fitted him to become an East African farmer. If .Any such man consulted me, I should tell him that the hest thing he could do with his money was to put it safely away somewhere for at least two vears; and meanwhile to remember that a social and sporting life must be com sidered purely as play and never al- lowed to interfere with work, and that he had his whole profession to learn, “Therefore, the wise thing for hlln to do was to go out on some farm | kept by some real farmer and ask to {lm allowed to work for his keep, re- | membering always that unless he | worked very hard, very steadily and ‘unh much intelligence the man who let him work for his keep would ‘mllk- a losing bargain. “It then, the young man stood the trial, worked till he really knew the business well and, in short, showed that he had good stuff in him, why it would be all right; and if he did ‘nol stand the trfal, it would be progf positive that his presence was of benefit neither to himself nor to the | colony. 4 (Continued in Our Next Issue) A revelation of Candy goodness! | 1-6-.
