ALLAN PINKERToN, the famous detective,

which can hardly be overestimated, and
which II has been the fortune Of few men

But now they may constitute foundation

The mental characteristics Of Allan
Pinkerton were judgemen, as to facts,
knowledge Of men. the ability TO concen.

persistent power OF will. A myste ious
problem Of crime against which his lie

he saw The scene In which the wrong was
done, read every movement Of the Grimm

A Dudes Fate.

There seems to be nothing in the
world 50 worthless or so useless as n
dude. The Philadelphia Times quotes
the warden of the almshouse, who
tells how one of the genus came to be
pauper:
"a dudish-looking fellow of about
three and twenty years, who sported
kid gloves and cane, was committed
to the institution the other day." said
the warden, sand he looked so out of
place that when it came to his turn to
be examined before being assigned to
a cell, questioned him sharply. His
face WAS too fresh looking for a va
grant, although be was committed on
the latter charge. w en- began to
question him he broke down com
pletely and burst into tears. Il have
not done anything he cried, 'but /
never was brought mp to work, and
mamma always gave me spending
money. She got married abont
month ago and her new husband does
not like me. He said | ought TO

Thibodaux Seatinel: 1t is high
time that law makers would begin to
enact laws for the relief of the tax
payers in Louisiana. A negro WAS
accused of stealing a cabbage last
spring in Thibodaux that was worth
25 cents. He was arrested. kept in
jail four months, tried last Tuesday,
when the jury could not agree. He
has been imprisoned four months, a
great wrong if innocent. He has cost
the parish OVERSIZE, jailor's fees and
the cost of trial in court, as much
more, that the taxpayers must pay.
Is not such things a first-class farce,
and burlesque on civilization Sum
mary trials shonld be had for such
trivial cases. Either Justices of the
Peace should be allowed TO summon
iuries and try such cases at once, or
take the testimony and refer it to the
acting District Judge who shall punish
or set free the accused without delay.
Talk about economy of government
when sucli trivial matters costs the |
taxpayers thousands of dollars annu-
ally.

The young man who was raised a
pet is becoming nuisance. He is
seldom oil any good. What is wanted
nowadays is a practical man who can
do something else beside smoke cigar
cites and twist a cane. The time to
learn to work and to learn business
habits is in ones youth. He who leads
the life Of butterfly untilhe is TWEEN
ty-five or thirty years OF age, then rec
ognizes the fact that he has made an
ass Of himself, has precious little to
recommend him when be applies for a
job This may be chestnut, but it
fits not few young men of every city
and town in the Union. The boys at
the Reform Farm are better off il they
only knew it, than thousands of the
boys who are at large. There is moth

The'BOys Again I!

We have rapidly depleted
our boys stock. Notwith-
standing the m m Q nse
amount we provided in the
early part of the season our
stock was never in so good
a condition with reference
to variety. Though the
stock is low, the assortment
yet remains for late season
shoppers.
AS we advised you last
week, we are always going
though the stock. and
wherever we see a lot that
does not move we move it
by cutting the price.
We found several lotsTof
this sort this last week, one
of which was a lot of Over
coats bought to sell for
eight dollars. We thought
these would sell for eight
dollars, but we were mis-
taken; so they go for five
each. This is a specimen
lot. We can show you other
equally good bargains.
We have no overstock,
but will not be undersold
by those who have. Be not
deceived by spec1ous pre-
lenses that sometimes take
in the very expert. Houses
that have not the one-price
system in it's entirety can
have no reductions in price
except such as gauge each
customer and size him up
for what they think he will
stand. Again, the market
is always full of limitations,
fair to look upon, but within
full of all that is deceitful.
We found some Boys
Suits, ages from eleven to
sixteen, our own manufac-
ture, we know to be con-
stituted of good, clean
stock, and which we know
to be good value at twelve
dollars. Som Q how they
have not sold at that price;
so to-day we mark them
ten. IF you desire a good
Suit for your boy, something
that will do him service and
us credit, you can do no
better.
Our Corduroy Suits for
boys find many takers, and
a few weeks hence will all
be gone. These are suitable
for rough-and-tumble boys
the boys that do not need
the service of physicians
unless it be the surgical
ones. But this is a safer
risk than the other.
While we go as low as five
dollars for boys good suits,
we range up to the finest
qualities to be had in any
market. While our goods
are high grade, our prices
are low grade. We are anx.
ious to meet the boys on the
second floor of s eve n t b
Street and Market Space.
