Judge Lewis F. Lamy was born in
1900. The parish then covered nearly
one-third of the State. He has watch
ed the growth of the country with pa
rental solicitude and recalls the past
with delightful aud animated remin-
iscences. AS Parish Judge for many
years the field for accidents and Incl
dents was ample to store a mind nat
urally strong and invigorate an inn
agination that had reve1ed through the
adventures of French and English fic-
ton.
Possessed of Il competency and being
philosophicatly inclined, he retired to
private life after the adoption of the
Constitution of 1915. His books and
his friends have kept him company,
and although the journey has been long
the feeling that prompted the compan-
ionship still endures.
The Judge was an old-line Wing and
gave his influence to the advancement
Gifts principles under all circumstances.
Its disorganization is and was a source
of deep regret to him. The inevitable
could not daunt or break the spirit of
his patriotism-the country was supe-
rior to his party and he speedily allied
himself to the fortunes of the Democ-
racy.
Last Tuesday the Judge COM
pleted his 10th year. Although feeble
from recent illness and grief he felt he
he owed duty to his State TO assist by
his vote in raising from the necks of
his people the infamous Constitution
of 1865. The deed was worthy of the
man, and long may he live to reap the
benefits and enjoy the privileges prom
Used by that of 1879.

Increase i'm the Use of Opium

A statement, on good authority, has re-
Gently been made to the effect that dur
ing the last two years the consumption
of opium by the working classes has con-
siderably increased, and an explanation
has been advanced that this increased
consumption has been induced by tie
restriction Of the sale of Intoxicating
liquors by the early closing of public
houses under the late act. That the sale
of narcotic drugs has of late greatly in
creased we fear there is but little reason
to doubt, that the explanation offered is
the correct one we feel bound to demur
to. 1t is rather to the hardness of t G
times than to any restraint in the sale Of
drink that the increased consumption of
opium by the working classes is to be at
tributed. Opium is cheaper than alcohol,
and I'd. expended on the former will give
more present ease than Cd. worth of the
later. Nor when first commenced does
its use produce such unpleasant after
effect as an intoxicating dose of alcohol.
1t is sad to learn that the sale Of opium
is extending among the lower classes, and
we hope, if the evil be found to be gain
ing ground with the rapidity stated
and from facts before us we cannot doubt
the accuracy of the report in the main
that Government will take action in the
matter and place restrictions on the sale
of all narcotic drugs. The free employ
ment of narcotic drugs has wrought in
dividual evil enough among the upper
and the middle classes of society, but ii
would be a national disaster if their use
continued to extend among our working
classes.

Getting Rid of a Canvasser.

The following novel way of getting rid
of book canvasser is valuable to know.
Besides this, there is pleasant feeling in
seeing photographer annoyed-even if it
is revengeful cast.
The subject is a Danbury photographer.
The canvasser is woman. The work is
valuable, as matter of course. She said
she came to sell him a copy. He told her
he didn't want to buy. She said the
book was just adapted to him in his bust
ness, and he would gain its value hun
dred times over He told her that he had
no time to read it. She suggested that
he buy it for his wife. 1t was just the
work for woman. A woman would be
benefited by it to degree beyond COM
putation. He answered that his wife had
more books now than she could read
She asked him if he had son. He said
yes. She told HIM that if this book was
chiefly noted tor one thing above another
it was in shaping and inspiring the mind
of young man.
Several customers had now arrived. and
the artist was plainly showing marks OF
exhaustion.

your b ok?'
"One dollar and half"
"You sell these books to make living?'

you by the publisher2"

"Well, here" he said, handing her a
bill, sis dollar. Take your profit on the
sale out of that, and let that end the mat.

This is an incident on the recent re-
turn of some British officers from Afghan
istan: Scene-The widest part Of the
Khyber, with barren rocks towering on
alp sides; an English officer riding along,
escorted by motley company OF MaIlks
and tribesmen all armed to the teeth
more armed Ireedees in tile middle dis
tance;a weary, lonely figure toiling on
the dusty road in huge black boots, face
burned a brick red and fringed I,y scan
ty sandy beard. The figure is clad in a
thick wadded garment ard has bundle
on its back. "Haltl who are you?p "a

"God y i'll help. = ssPeace be with you. .
"And with YOU" The figure moves off, and
the armed circle breaks up. This poor de-
voice had tramped hundreds of miles
through hills and valleys, swarming with
threats, secure in his simple faith
which had led him to leave distant Turk
estan in quest of the still moro distant
Mecca.
