The Board of Directors of the
Louisiana Educational Society are
preparing new school law for sub
mission to the Legislature. We
hope the new law will provide an
efficient plan for raising funds for
the public schools, and contain a
clause on the subject of compulsory
education. The State should pro-
vide tirst-class public schools, and
then compel the people to send
their children to school-either
public Or private.

not know it. And what is more, she lives
with him now and has not found him out.
The groom was handsome man, and
was looked upon as a young man in
society, in which he figured quite promi-
nently. He had a youthful face, was
quick and erect, and coloring his hair,
which was snow white, he easily passed
with the youngest. With his atfable
manner and gallantry he won the heart
of the young girl he married from a num-
Der of other sutors. many of them young
and handsome. The girl was very young
and a belle.
Just before the wedding took place
the man had his own hair cut off and a
wig made. Dying his hair had worked
very well while he was counting, but
when it came to getting married he knew
he could not use dive without his wife
finding it out. so he adopted a Wig to get
out of the difficulty. The idea of his young
wife finding out that he was an old man
nearly set him wild, and when ne had
gotten well settled under his wig he was
the happiest man | ever say On his
wedding day he was a frsky Is a boy,
and no one suspected his secret. This
happened some months ago. and the bride
has not vet found out that he is an old
man and wears a wig, and she will prop
ably never find it out until old age asserts
itself so strongly that it can no lorger be
concealed. They live here in the city
now, and the secret is known probably to
none save the groom and hair-dresser.
