forts of Mr.. Charles H. Chandler the Secretary the

The passion for gambling, when it has once
established grip upon a man, holds him
with force second only to that of alcohol
Like the habit of intoxication, that OF gaming
is foster-nurse of crimes. It destroys self
respect and produces desperation. Instances
of the dominance it has achieved over the
strongest wills are not wanting. An incident
is related Of a Belgian lady which may show
the power of the fascination. She was q
queen in society, and private gambling at her
house was carried to q wild excess. In the
absence of her husband on q night not long
ago, three armed and masked men demanded
the key of her treasuYe-closet. She handed
it to them, but, on trying the vault, they were
unable to open it.
They therefore forced her from her bed,
refusing to give her time to cover herself,
and made her open the vault AS the rouleaux
Of gold caught their eye, the burglars ran for
ward to fill their pockets, when the lady shut
the door and locked them in. Their insolence
gave way to entreaty, but the lady, remem-
bering their coarse jests upon her half-naked
condition, would grant nothing. They i'm
plored her to save their regulations, but she
would not. 1t then appeared that the bur-
glars wers three noblemen, who had lost enor-
nous sums on that particular evening, and
sought this manner OF getting their money
back. Even after this discovery the lady
refused to relent, and but for the intervention
of an eminent Archbishop the three mobiles
would have shared the fate of common felons,
for French justice is no respecter of persons,
as the American Goddess is.

DEATH OF A GOOD MAN.

We regret to announce the death of David
May Callahan, which occurred on the 18th inst,
at his home, the residence OF Mrs. Leroy A.
Stafford, on Bayou BGuf.
The deceased was born in February, 1889, in
the State Of South Carolina, lived in Adams
county, MISS, for few years, and came to
Rapides in 1916, where he has constantly lived up
to the time of his death. He was lieutenant
of infantry in Capt. Isaac Davis's company, in
Jackson's Creek war, and served in Capt. Bran
don's company in the war Of 1912. Uncle Davy
Callahan, for by this name he was called and
known in Rapides for nearly fifty years. was q re-
markable man in frame OF body and mind, and
was possessed of traits genial, kind and friendly,
which bound and endeared him to all who knew
him.
He was, perhaps, the very oldest Mason in
Louisiana his initiation dating from 1914, and he
so continued to last Wednesday. He was one
Of the most even tempered, amiable and kind
hearted of men, and really never made or had
an enemy. He never held but one civil position
in Rapides, and that he faithfully graced for the
past for the past forty-five years. justice Of the
peace. He was buried on Bayou BGuf, at the
old Stafford Burying ground was followed to
his last resting place BY friends, relatives and
Masons. who gave him earthly rest side by side
with the late gallant and honored Gen. Leroy A.

A ball in Santa Fe, Texas, was attended by
the members Of the best society in the place
but an incident showed that border usages
are not confined to border ruffians. George
Stone, the son of the leading lawyer, and
John Collier, the son Of the leading physician,
were among the dancers; and Miss T0wnley,
regarded as the handsomest young lady in
Santa Fe, was there too. She is coquette,
and that night she accomplished the common
feminine exploit of making each of two adj
mirers believe that he was most agreeable.
At last their attentions clashed, and, without
q word Of controversy, Collier drew his re-
volver and fired at Stone, the bullet making a
terrible wound in the shoulder. The wounded
man at once shot his assailant dead. As both
lay on the floor unconscious, Miss Townley
dropped the coquetry that had made the
deadly trouble, and revealed her preference
for Collier by throwing herself wildly on his
dead body. Stone will recover.

A Paris medical student has just died

A Paris medical student has just died
insane, having become so in consequence of
an event that happened in the dissecting
room. His subject had been placed in sit
ting posture while frozen, and its right arm
was kept above its head against gravity by
the icy condition of the tissues, and as he
worked, lost in his labor, this arm came
down and the cold hand struck the student
on the cheek. 1t was clear upon investiga-
ton that the hot fire made for the student
had thawed the tissues, but the impression
made upon his mind was too deep to be re-
moved by rational explanation.
