The Two Apprentices.

Two boys were in carpenter shop.
One determined 10 make himself a
thorough workmen. the other didn't
care. One read and studied, and got
books that would help him to under
stand the principles of his trade. He
spent his evening at home, reading.
The other liked fun best. He went
off with other boys to have fun.
Come" he often said In his shop
mate, leave your books; go with us
What is the use OF all this readings"
If waste the golden moments |
shall lose what | can never make up,
was the reply.
While the two boys were still ap-
prentices an offer OF two thousand
dollars appeared in the newspapers
for the best plan for a State-house, TO
be built i'm the United States. The
studiouS boy saw the advertisement,
and determined To try for il. After
careful study he drew the plans, and
sent them TO the committee. sup
pose he did not really expect 10 win a
prize; but there is nothing like trying.
Ii was not long before committee

ter shop and asked il an architect 10y

tect; | have an apprentice 10y that

Let us see him, said the commit
tee.
The young man was called, and
sure enough, his plan had been ac-
cepted. and the two thousand dollars
were his.
The committee then said he must
put up the building; and the employer
was so proud Of his success that he
willingly gave him his time and let
him go.
This studious carpenters boy he
came one OF the best architects OF our

NOVEMBER.

The rude November blast
sweeps wildly past,
And withered leaves ride on his scentless
wings;
And never yet was heard
From beast or bird,
4 wall so sad as that one which he sings.
From faded grove and bower
This lonely hour
His dirgeful strain ascends to starless skies !;
And in my lonely room
This voice of doom
Afrights my spirit with mute surprise.
The flowers are in their graves,
And by the waves
The winds have rent the willows robes ofgray:
And with uncovered head
Above the dead
The stately oak weeps in his kingly way.
No more the kline are seen
Upon the green,
But woodlands, meadows, orchards, fields are
bare;
And out against the sky
Bleak mountains high
stand like so many statues OF Despair.
o rude November blast,
sweep wildly past!
But know that sunny skies shall beam again;
And south winds with perfume
Shall r, nd the tomb
And kiss to life each victim thou hast slain.

State Press Comment.

Shreveport Democrat: eve have
often called attention to the pressing
need of some modification by con-
stitutional amendment of our present
costly judicial system. As at present
constituted, it is an incubus upon the
State, consuming the Substance Of
the people without yielding CORES
ponding benefits. 1t costs 1921, 900
annually, while Mississippi. with
population greater than ours by 200,-
900 manages to secure justice at least
equal to that obtained in our Courts
for s7s, 900 per year. We have too
many Courts and too many Judges"
New Orleans Times.Democrat:
Personal journalism has long ceased
to excite anything but disgust and
contempt among thoughtful and in
telligent people, and has done more
to bring journalists as class into
disrepute than all other things COM
bined. The day has long since gone
by when the character of any man can
be injured by the mere inky emana-
tions of the editor of newspaper
who having no just appreciation Of
the dignity and responsibility attach
ing to his position, INDUCES in coarse
verbal assaults upon all those who
oppose him-constituting himself at
once common scold and a public
nuisance"

The reports of falls of snow and
destructive windstorms in various
parts of the North and Northwest
give emphasis to the claims of Lou
isianians that this State is climatical-
ly and meteorologically one of the
most favored in the Union.
Why should not the advantages of
Louisiana as a home be properly set
forth by a bureau of immigration?
There are thousands of good farmers
in the Northwest, who endure severe
climatic extremes and innumerable
hardships, who could be attracted to
our State, where they could easily
acquire homes.
In Louisiana, the spring begins
early enough to enable agricultural
operations to be commenced in Feb
ruary; the autumn is long and agree
able; the short winters can be pass
ed in exchange of Inequalities with
a population whose reputation for
hospitality is worldwide and proven
bal.
And it is not to agriculturists alone
that Louisiana offers SURPRISING ad-
vantages. All parts of the State are
in easy communication with New Or
leans-the metropolis of the South.
The markets of the cities and towns
are easily accessible, and nearly every
part of the State is intersected by
railroads and navigable rivers.
Let it be remembered that while
other States are flooding the North
west and Europe with announcements
of their advantages Louisiana has
done nothing. Her fine soil and
splendid equable climate have found
no eulogist, and it seems to be the
opinion that they need none. With
all our great natural advantages anc
the energy of the Anglo-Saxon race
expended within it's limits, Louisiana
ought to be one of the most popu
lous and influential States in tn,
Union, and the bourne of immigrants
of the best class from all parts O
the world.
