in all it's beauty, and everything indicates
an early spring.

THE MODEST ROMAN OF THEM
ALL.

! q
many distinguished citizens and
high officials who headed the long
procession attending the Inaugural
ton of the great structure at our
park, the stately form Of one Of
Louisiana's most venerated sons
and faithful servants, somewhat
bent by age, and from impaired
sight, requiring the aid Of a friend
to guide his steps. The face of
this venerable gentleman was ra-
diant with pride and enthusiasm in
the contemplation of the grand
achievement of our Government
and citizens and the evidences of
the great enterprise and activity of
our people.
On Thursday last the vital spark
was extiuguished fin that manly
form, and Ex-Gov. Alexander Mou-
toms magnanimous soul assembled
to that higher sphere and appeared
before that tribunal, whose judg-
ment upon his virtuous and noble
life and career will be of far higher
authority than that of this world
and of fallible humanity.
Few have ever passed before
that august tribunal and into his
tory with a record more spotless
and purer than his. Reaching his
eighty-second year, q native of
Louisiana, of the Arcadian stock,
he had devoted more than half his
life to tho service of his State and
people. Throughout that whole
service never did censure attach to
his name, or partizan or personal
animosity breathe suspicion of in
fidelity to duty, or of 3 single un-
worthy action.
Equally faithful and punctual in
the discharge of all social duties
he became the head, the Nestor of
large family, which looked up to
him as their neverfailing protector,
guardian, counsellor and parent.
From early manhood he was en-
gagged in public life as a Legisla-
tor, as Senator of the United States
as presiding officer over several of
the most important legislative bod
les ever Geld in this State, and as a
Governor who left that high posi-
ton with the universal acclaim of
the whole people of Louisiana,
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servant" He was the only survi-
wing member of the United States
Senate in an era when that body
included the most brilliant array OF
great statesmen and orators. For
sound Judgment, fidelity to princi-
Piles and to his country, no member
of that body was regarded with
moro veneration and confidence
than Alexander Mouton.
Gov. Mouton leaves many de-
scendants. He had been married
twice. By his first wife he had
several sons, who have we'll sus-
tanned the reputation of their father.
One of these was the gallant Gen.
Mouton, a splendid soldier and gen
tleman, who was killed in the
charge of the Louisiana troops at
the battle of Mansfield during our

school teacher to put the matter to
test and determine the question.
On Friday afternoon, as a certain
school was being dismissed, she
gave ont that the class in arithme-
tic, composed of twelve bright pu-
pills of both sexes, would be divided
on the following Monday. Six of
the pupils were to provide them
selves with a moderate allowance
Of first-class chewing gum T; the other
six were to be gumless. According
ly on Monday morning there were
six bright scholars armed to the
teeth with chewing gum. Their jaws
were working like so many steam
tripbammers, and they were eager
for the fray. From the arithmetic
the teacher selected twenty-nine
problems and then the class buck
led down to business. The other
scholars stopped nudging each 9th
er and looked over their geogr.-
plies and grammars at the dozen
youngsters who were to decide a
very important educational ques-
ton. The teacher began to throw
the mathematical problems into
the class like SO many javelins.-
The tolu-mashers warded of the
blows and held their ground. Be-
fore half the problems were given
out it was evident to the school
that the tolu-troublers had more
gum in them than they had been
given credit for. Finally the twenty
nine problems were given, and on
counting up the score it was found
that the chewers of gum had cor
rectly answered twenty-one, while
the gumless six had only eight.
This will probably work a revolu-
ton in schools, so far as chewing
gum is concerned"

In the Near Future.

There is unusual activity in railroad circles
says the jamestown Alert, especially in the
Northwest. But few of these enterprises have rs
yet taken tangible shape, but they are coming to
the point rapidly. These giant corporations
show very pronounced signs of revolution of
pool and territorial apportionment arrangements.
The development of the agricultural resources of
Dakota has reached that point where each of the
great railroad corporations feels that it can stand
alone and enter into direct and legitimate COM
petition for the transportation of our immense
crops of grain. The people are 10 longer re-
quired to beg and bond to secure railroads. The
traffic inducement is sufficient now, and we be-
lieve the great corporations are preparing to
make checker-board of the Territory, and
especially of North Dakota, which is now known
and recognized as the wheat producing country
of the Northwest. Fargo, in the Red River va.-
ley; jamestown, in the Upper James River VAL
ley, and Bismarck, in the Upper Missouri Valley,
are destined to become three railroad ccnters,
There is no occasion for strife among the three
cities in railroad matters, Ms each represents
distinct and natural division of North Dakota
Each is independent of the other, and always
will continue to be so. The DEVILS Lake, Moose
River and Turtle Mountain countries are looked
upon as objective and desirable points for rail-
roads, and it is only question of few years Mt
most when these countries will be reached by

Well Said.

People who grumble because their local
paper is not equal to the papers published in the
large cities, when it does not receive a ten thou
sandth part of the support, should remember
that, according to the amount of patronage re-
ceived, the country pupers are much the better
of the two. Once in a while it comes to the pub
lisher's knowledge that there are people dis
posed to find fault because it isn't much of pa
per. Such criticism may be regarded us entirely
legitimate. The paper IS one-horse concern,
and no one realizes this more than it's publishers.
1t makes a mighty poor showing when compared
with sheets printed i'll cities of three to twenty
or more times the size of this. The people who
find fault are undoubtedly warranted in their OBJ
servations-just the same as any person would
be warranted in setting those people down rs
very small potatoes and few to the hill when
compared with people Who arc recognized as of
any particular importance outside of their own
immediate surroundings. OF course the paper is
small and not of much account; but it probably
comes as near to something of q rank in journal
ism-its circumstances considered-as do its more
blatant critics to anything like an eminent posi-
ton in the history Of their time. Let the critics
measure themselves by the same standard as
that by which they seek to judge the paper, and
probably they will understand both it and them
selves somewhat bettcr.-[Sioux Falls Press
