"A disastrous fire occurred at
Napoleonville some days ago. The
fire is said to have originated in
a muskito bar, Il lamp being pia>
ced too close to it, in the dwell
ling of Mrs. Gaudin. The see
Ond square below the court house
and about the center Of the vii
lage was swept clean, not q bnild
ing left standing. The buildings
were all of wood except the Ma
sonic Hall formerly Odd Eel
lows which was made of brick.
Some two Or three stores, IL
drug store and Il bakery were
consumed.
This will he a heavy blow to
the prosperity ct that village.
By the EScuI sion given. by
the Thibodanx Silver Cornet
Band, to Morgan City, last SIM
day on Morgan's Railroad. 1910.
90 was placed in the Treasury of
that hand. This excursion would
have done much better had the
number of coaches been sent here
that was demanded. Fully 100
persons were prevented from 90,
ing for want OF seats. MANY of
those who went were compelled
to stand.
1t is said by some of the parti-
cipants that several ladies' had
t" stand. during the trip. If this
be true there has been Il sad de
parture from the rnles of ga!!an-
try and gentility that once cha
racterised the Young men in this
section Of country.
This being the first excursion
since the Branci, roal has been,
bnilt, its success Will probably
induce others to follow. The
Branch road not only proves
profitable and convenient in :.
mercantile view bat also affords
means OF enjoyment to our PEG

KEEP HANDS OFF.-Oliye Logan
saws that woman's safeguard Is to
keep mans hands off of her. LII
You need his assistance in walking,
take his arm, instead of his taking
yours. Just tell him in plain Eng
lish to keep his hands off" He
may not like it at the time, but he
will respect you in the future ten
fold the more. Men will be and do
Just what the women allow them to
do. Men will not do to trust. Give
u man your arm and you will lind
him very confidential, and he will
take a great many privileges he
would not take if he was not per-
mitted to do so. He will give your
arm many loving squeezes and sly
twists that he could have no oppor-
tunity of doing, and the opportunity
is Just what he is after. A few more
words of advice, end I close. Keep
young girls off the street, except
when they have business. Teach
them it is unnecessary to go to
the postoffice every time they are
out. Your girls can walk alone
just as we'll as your boys. Don't
allow your girls, if they must have
bean, to go with boys much older
than themselves. If possible, instil
into their very nature that they sre
safer in their own hands than they
are in the hands of any man
preachers not excepted.

A STROKE OF GENrUs.-The other
day a muscular young fellow, hav-
ing an odor of the stables about
him, entered a Detroit photograph
er's establishment, and explained
that he would like to Fave about
one photograph taken; but on learn
ing the price, he concluded to in
vest in a tin-type. After taking his
seat in the chair he shut up one
eve, drew his mouth around to one
side, stuck up his nose, and patient
~ waited for the operator, whose
establishment caused him to ex-
clnim:
Good gracious! but You don't
want to look that way to get ~ pic
ture. Nobody wi!rknow you from
Sitting Bull"
"Iou go ahead" was the reply.
'tDo you want Inc to take such a
phiz rs that"

The artist took it. It beat Sol
Smith all to pieces and was highly
satisfactory to the sitter, who paid
for it, and said:
You see, / had sort of object
