1t is with parish pride that we an.
nounce the return of our highly es-
teemed young friend Dr.. Robert j.
Young, who has won such honors
for our parish as we'll as for himself.
During his attendance upon the
medical lectures in the Tulane. Uni
versity Of Louisiana at New Orleans,
he won the admiration of all Of his
professors and fellow students for
his ability as an accurate diagnosti.
clan, often being called upon by his
professors to make diagnosis of d.
sease at the hospital and demon
strate the same to the class. After
having completed his term in the
Tulane University of Louisiana, he
went to the Hospital College Of
Medicine in Louisville, Kentucky,
one of the first schools Of our coun-
try, and lere he soon won the es-
TEEN of his fellow students, and at
an election held by them to select
some of the Glass to deliver the
Valedictory address at the close Of
the session, he was their Choice
Victory for u young friend and
Vormilion. Not resting satisfied
with general medicine, his research.
ing mind sought new fields Of medi-
cal science and he took up several
most important specialties, for which
he was awarded special diplomas OF
distinction.
The first prize of fine gold med
al was offered 10 the one who wou.d
pass the best written examination
upon Surgical Pathology, and our
young friend again entered the field
of competition and won the gold
medal and honor after an examina-
ton which lasted from 7 P. NJ, to 5
A. NJ.
Upon his final examination for the
degree Of Doctor" his examination
gave such satisfaction that his Gi-
ploma was stamped "distinguished''
and a complimentary diploma
awarded him by the Alumni Aesocia.
ton of Central University. of which
he was elected a vice-president. All
honor to u young friend, and VIC
predict for him a bright future in
his native parish.
He will at once enter into active
practice with his brother DR.. +. F.
Young and DR.. G. j. Edwards, who
need no comment here, as they have
won by their ability a wide spread
reputation and many warm friends.

What A Livery Man Saws.

A well dressed man, who looked as if he
might know how to handle the reins, came in
to a livery stable while was talking to the
proprietor, and signified his desire to be fur
nshed with the best team in the house to a
road wagon, at once. The proprietor, calmly
looking him in the face replied:
"You know very well that l wouldn't let
you have the worst team in tho house, Mr.
X; SO what's the use Of you coming here like
this. Go and hunt place where they don't
know you"
Mr.. X. protested warmly that tho livery
man was "all wrong" and pulled out his wallet,
as if that would effectually settle the matter.
But the proprietor was adamant, and he went
away in towering rage.
"Thcre is man." said the livery man to me,
"who has never taken a turnout away from
here without damaging it. He either breaks
the wagon or hurts the horses. He knows how
to drive, but he will drink wine at tho road
houses That makes him reckless, and he
wants to brush all the cracks on the lane
He tries it and gets into trouble. He is wealthy
and liberal ard willing to pay for any harm
he does, but can't afford to have my wagons
smashed and my horses crippled, even if get
what they cost back l have shut down on
him. Ihave had several customers of ths same
sort, and it has made my heart bleed to see tho
way they mishandle the poor horses. Now, 1
never lot team go out without a driver Of
my own unless l know just who the hirer is
All stables have the same difficulty. If a
man didn't know how to swim he wouldn't
jump into the sea, but men who do not know
how to drive at all viii want to hire a turnout
You'd hardly believe it, but have seen peo-
pie who have never handled the reins under
take to navigate double team through tho
noisy streets and crowded parks Since the
elevated roads have been built that is a job 1

A CHEEKY BROKERS' JOKE.

Imposing Upon the CreduIity Of a Driver.
Winning Wager.
II was shortly after board closing that
walked down Nassau street from Wall. Just
in front of me were two young brokers, pre-
surnably on their way home. At Liberty
street stalwart but very sleepy horse at
tached to well loaded express wagon stood
near the curb with his nose pointed up hill.
The bare-headed driver had disnounted to
slake his thirst in a neighboring saloon and
could be seen chatting with a friend at the
door.
Charlie" said one of the brokers, stopping
suddenly. Il will bet you small bottle that
l can make that bare-headed man asl, me to
take a drink with him.
"Humph!' said the other, she is some old
schoolfellow, l suppose"
"Oh, no; never saw him in my life before"
"Pon honor!"
"Upon my word, Charlie"
"All right: a small bottle goes"
'Good; now you just stand aside and keep
your face straight and Wen have some fun
out of it, anyway"
Then broker number one reached out to the
patient horse, and taking hold of the loose
rein, said ''get up, there, get up" very gen
tly. The obcdient animal Immediately
Strengthened his ears and began to tug his
heavy load UP the slope, whereupon broker
number one rushed excitedly to the driver
and exclaimed, Isn't that your horse sir!"
oval, I'm darned if it amt, answered the
astonished driver, running after the wagon
with loud cries of "Whoa, whoa there" The
wicked broker joined in the pursuit, and to-
gether they easily caught the horse and
brought him 10 O standstill
'If l had felt sure that it was your horse,"
said the broker, Il would have stopped him
without calling to You"
"That's all right" responded the grateful
driver; Il never knew him to start before in
that way. Darn him, he might have got run
into and smashed my load"
"Yes," added the broker, lit was a narrow
escape"
"That it was, assented the driver; "better
come in and have something, hadn't you?"
"Well don't care if do" said the broker
good humoredly, and the scamp coolly went
into the saloon and drank a glass of beer at
the deluded drivers expense, while broker
number two waited outside and reflected upon
the uncertainty of gambling against a stock
operators cheek.-New York Cor. Chicago
