The BEST LEGACY FOR SoNs.-Every
parent is anxious about the future of his
children. This is a natural instinct. But
III the days of luxury and speculation faith
crs make fatal mistakes in regard to their
sons. Even sclfmadc men who have won
success through toll and hardship, by a mis-
taken affection, withhold the discipline that
made them what they are, and which is alb.
solutely necessary to develop the manhood
of their boys. 1t is well and wisely said
that the best legacy man leave his
children is the ability to take care Of them
selves. Fit them for active business or use
full labor and you secure them an income for
all time to come. This income is as mnch
greater in value than the same income de-
rived from inheritance, as useful employ
ment is better than idlcncss. A practical
knowledge Of some useful business, art or
trade, seems Indispensable in these days of
sharp competition and hardship. And in
selecting employment for your sons, one
thing should be clearly undcrstood-thc
market is largely ovcrstocked with clerks
and salesmen, who expect large pay for lit
tie work. Success and affluencc must be
looked for in other fields And those most
promising in good results are identified with
the demands, growth and development Of
the country, where the profits may be small
but sure 'Small, steady gains lead to com
petence and peace of mind" Give young
man good moral habits and a practical
knowledge Of some useful business, and the
chance is that he will not be long in work
Ing his way into position where he will
realize 81 900 ycar--an amount about
equal to the interest on $4,000. Now Il
young man who earns 81 900 year is III
far better position than a thoughtlcss and
idle young sprndthritt who possesses SO
600, because he is more useful and is max
ing himself happy instead Of miserable

changed, the severity of the weather briefly
discussed, and the horscman made demon

detained him with
"Don't be in a hurry, Deacon; would you
not like glass of Jamaica this morning ?"
"Thank you kindly" said the old gentle
man, at the same time beginning to dismount
with all the dclberation becoming deacon,
"Don't care if | do"
"Ah don't trouble yourself to get off,
Deacon" said the neighbor' 81 merely
asked for the information We haven't a

The Deacon sighed, mounted his horse
and rode off

"thcse new Inventions which the lads were

this they were exceedingly like the Chris

A stock law or fence law in this
parish is rapidly becoming a matter
of necessity. Tens of thousands of
dollars are annually expended to
build and repair fences to protect
the crops from the inrOads of stock,
and every year the number of cattle
and hogs is growing less. Long
lines of fencing have to be kept up,
at a heavy expense, when the pro
prietor has not perhaps dozen
COWS and not single hog. In fact,
it takes man and a double barreled
shot gun to every dozen hogs on the
river, if one would keep his hogs, or
COWS, from being killed and carried
off. There is no comparison be-
tween the expenses of fencing out
the stock and fencing the stock in.
Something ought to be done as a
measure of economy, and we hope
the legislature will enact general
law in the premises.-Ouachita Tel.

The artichokes will get as large as
hazel nuts by the time the corn is

They are, lie says a worse curse than
