a correspondent of the Philadel


a correspondent of the Phladel-
phia Ledger having noticed in that
paper that it took ID cents a day to
feed the inmates of the House of Cor
rection has been set to thinking how
several families he knows manage to
get along. He makes special mention
of man who has a wife and five
small children, the oldest of whom is
only nine years old He has been
working steadily for two years at ten
dollars per week without losing day
Allowing this family fifteen cents q
day for all the members of the family,
except the baby, would make S. 40
per week for necessary food; % so
rent and 81 % for coal, making a
total of 50 ID. The question is asked
what is there to pay for clothes,
kitchen and household utensils, medi-
cines, doctors bills, etc?
/ The Ledger in reply states that
many families Of two adults aud five
or six children live in comparative
comfort on less than $500 year
adding that an economical housewife
is better manager than can be found
in a public institution.
We have given the above simply
to show our readers how comparative
ly small sum it requires to support
a family in Philadelphia, and no doubt
other Eastern cities, where the cost
of living, we would suppose, is greater
than it is in Shreveport-at all events
it should be cheaper here.-Shrere-
port Times.
1t may be possible for good, eco
nomical housewives TO manage mat
ters so that each member of their
family can live on fifteen cents per
day, but we acknowledge it is beyond
our powers of calculation to demon
strate how it can be done in country
where provisions cost as much as they
do here.

Grumblers and the Press.

Every journalist must have felt
what the New York Herald expresses
in this paragraph:
"The truth is that there is scarcely
newspaper published from one end
of the year to the other that will not,
if critically considered, give oflense
to somebody in the community. The
politician objects to the way his speech
is reported.
"The buyers of one set of shares is
offended because the money column
reports another set as going up or
going down. Gentlemen who find
themselves in the hands of the police
are grieved at the license OF the press
which reports their arraignment and
trial among the police proceedings.
The sympathizer with France is
offended at letters from Berlin, and
the believer in German unity mourns
over dispatches from Paris.
"The newspaper thus olfends some
one, just as the weather-rainy to-day
and sunshiny to-morrow-is sure to
annoy somebody. The common-sense
view is that the newspaper is the
history of yesterday written to-day
that it is tho mirror of the time, and
that those who conduct it care nothing
for individuals, except to do them

That Missing Money.
More About 1t.

The Reverend Radical Negro Senator
Dave Yonng. and his associates of the School
Board of Concordia parish, will not be tried
on that charge of embezzlement until the
next session OF court The case was post
poned on the motion of II. B. Spencer, Esq,
counsel for the Reverend Radical Negro
Senator and his associates. The next term
of court will be held in April, and by that
time Mr.. Spencer, who was the Democratic
nominee for Congressman will have returned
from Washington, which place he intends to
visit for the purpose of contesting the seat OF
Morey the Republican candidate. whom the
Returning Board declared elected.
In addition to the charge OF embozzlemen'
there are other charges against Dave Young,
which have not as yet been investigated, but
which will be inquired into.
1t is alleged that he has speculated in the
Stree school warrants" by disposing ~ o
them al ruinous discount when there wa:
money in the treasury to pay them, and
participating in the profits which accrued or

The Iron Crown.
| From Chambers Journal. |

The oldest of the crowns Of Euronc
is the Iron Crown of Lombardv now
restored to its resting place of centuries
in the cathedral of Monza. the sunny
little town which, from the Alpine
slopes, looks down upon in,perial
Milan. For thirteen hundred wears
the Iron Crown has held the foremost
place among the diadcms Of Europe,
for it was formed by the sklllui hands
Of Roman goldsmilhs in the sixth
century, and sent by Pope Gregory
the Great, to the Gothic Queen Thco-
Golinda, when she had Fl ecd Lombardv
from the Arian heresy. Its form is
simple, as one might expect from its
ancient date. 1t is Il broad fiat ring
or diadcm of gold, adorned with
enamciIcd flowers and precious stones,
stones not cut into facets, as in
modern !jcwrlry, hu: crncraidS, SAP
phrcs and rubicS in their rou-h uncu,
form as they came from the mine.
But inside this circle cf gold and
jewels Is Il thin band of iron, from
which the crown takes its name, aud
this IRON tradition asserts, is one of
the nails of the true cross hammered
out into Il ring. Long and angry
have been the battles fought by anti
quaries on this point. Those who
deny its authenticity, headed by
Muratori, certainly bring weiyhtv
arguments to the support of their
view; but The tradition has survived
all their learned folios gallant cham
plons have fought pen in hand in its
defence, and still in the language of
the people the crown of Monza is
called Il Sdcr chiocia, the holy nail
1t graced the imperial front of Charlie
magne and a long succession of Ger
man cmperorS, ending with Charles
Y. But the last sovereign who wore
it was Napoleon |. In May. 1908,
he assembled at Milan the lignitaries
of the empire, the representatives, of
his royal and Imperial allies, and Il
splendid circle of Mar,hals and Gen
erals, and in their preseEcc he placed
it on his head, repeating the proud
motto Of the Iron Crown: God has
given 1t to me; woe to him who
touches it ~

Gen. McNIackin's PerilOus
Journey.

A mutual friend of ours and General Nc
count of a perilous adventure of the general 5:

wild and infested with bands of robbers and
murdererS, many of whom apparently be-
iCved in total del ravity, and certainly lived
up 10 II, had occasion to take a journey on
horseback where roads were very poor and
some times only Indian trails. lost my way
and about nine p. NJ. was glad TO see the light
of cabin.
Tying my horse no, far off, found only a
woman in the cabin, and asked the privilege
of staying all night. She advised me not to
stay because her husband and his brother
would be at home before long, and would
surely kill me. But my case was desperate,
not knowing where 10 90, and ! told her |
must stay and take the chances; 80 she got
me some supper, and laid down with my
clothes on. and got some rest but not much
sleep. The woman kept awake, and when
she heard the men coming she woke me and
said "Flsc for your life There was a board
roof over The front door, and being young aud
active, | mounted this roof aud kept quiet
Til, men questioned the woman savagely
who was there, and she replied that poor
traveller had been there to stay all night, but
that she advised him not to stay, "ior you
would surely kill him."
They had seen my horse tied to the tree,
and were not to he pu, OFT in this way. They
declared somebody was there, and began to
look fol me. They soon found and ordered
me down, and discussed among themselves
the best way to kill me, while the woman
urged them 10 spare my life. After consider
able talk among them. it was decided to put
me in a barrel and head it up, leaving only the
bung hole for air, and roll me down long hill
They argued that in giving me this chance
for life they would not be responsible in case
| shoull get killed
Then they took me up a long hill and, hav-
ing an old whisky barrel with wooden hoops,
they ordered me into it, and putting in the
head, was soon rGade ready for my perilous
journey.
They started me down the other side of the
| long hill and of all the long tides and bumps
! had ever heard of that was the longest.
| But all journeys have an end, and when |
landed st the foot of the hill the wolves came
bowling around me, and smelling in the
bung hole, evidently wishing slice of human
steak. Accidently one of them put his tail in
the hole and caught hcl Of IT, 0, Merciful
Father! of all the frightened creatures that

through this world of woe, l reckon my way
was different from any other, and the speed
of my carriage over hill and dale was at leas,
equal TO any. The bump and bound shall
never forget 1t seemed to me long time
before the hoops were so worn that the barrel
was ready to fall to pieces, and then was as
willing to release the wolf as he was TO be

PARTIES AND TIE CURRENCY.-The
Chicago Tribune counts nineteen
States in which the Democrats sustain
the declarations of the New York
Democracy, or Il ma Urity Of the
Federal sistcrhood. On careful re-
view of all the declarations recently
made by State conventions on the
currency issue, it is found that there
is no State in which the Republicans
are perfectly sound on that question
where the Democrats are not equally
so. In the States where one party
is fishv, the other is aIso-as in the
two great States of Ohio and Penn
sylvania, for instance. The New
York journal Of Commerce shows
that the hcresy begun when Thaddeus
Stevens, Republican, proposed to pay

he is the real author of the evil. The
Republican party generally does not
now follow the precedent. Neither

Sit and Set, Lay and Lie.

The two words, sit and set, are too
often mistaken for each other. When
a grammar class is asked for the first
time if it is right to say, hens set,
court sets, one-half Of them perhaps
will vote one way and the other half
the other. The court means the Judge
or judges; the judge sits, the court
sits, the jury sits. hens sit, birds sit.
Setting hen is wrong; hens are not
settlers or pointers. Set requires an
objective case; we set a chair, but we
sit in it. There is similar difficulty
in the use of lie and lay. In families
whose hens SET everything lays,
and all lay ahead The quoted
words are wrong. Lay means to
place, and requires an objective, as the
hen lays eggs Now | lay me-
We should say the book lies on the
table; he lies ahead, lies low; every
body hes, if you please, but nobody
lays unless he has something to lay
