The shadows murmur, but the deeps
are dumb. And do you know, to put
an old bit of wisdom, that is why we
love the shadows. We stroll beside the
broad. deep, voiceless river. There is
no song in all the silent stream. Its
bosom bears the fleets of commerce
shallop and steamer and raft drift
down its silent current to the sea. By
dock and slip and bending willow
sweep its noiseiess waters. But when
we reach the winding brook, singing
over the white, shining pebbles, muir
muring around the messy rocks, whis-
pering through the swGying reeds, we
sit down and listen, and the music and
the charm of its inoessant babble drive
away every thought of sorrow and
trouble. Who is il that said the music
of running water produces in US mild
insanity. or something like that? True
1t is, 1.-The shadows 1aurmur. but the
deeps are dumb" and so we love the
shadows. Yes, my son, yes. That,
perhaps, is the reason why so many
people love you. By end by you will be
older-you will become deep. Then we
will hate you. On, it is go true, so
true.-Burdette.

The Bill for a Public Building at Monroe

Special to The Times Democrat
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.--Mr. Newton. of
Louisiana, succeeded to-day i'll having
passed his bill appropriating 100000 for a
public building at Monroes La, n decidedly
successful achievement for a new member
so early in the session. Mr.. Newton pro-
cured a very favorable report on the sub
ject from the committee on public build
ings and grounds, of which he is a MEM
Der. This report showed that although
the United States courts hold sessions at
Monroe twice year, during which time
they sit about four months, the clerk Is
compelled, for safety, to keep the papers,
records, etc, in his room at boarding
house. 1t closes by saying that Monroe is
| an old substantial city, that it has a steadi-
" growing influence and population, sew

| extensive trade, is located in the heart of q
district embracing a population of abou,
$50 900 people, who transact there all bust

The Parish Democratic Executive Come

the members were present az were also the
varions candidates. Each one brought en-
couraging information from their respects

that the whole people arc aroused and are
determined for once to put down Ring rule
in Ouachita parish. In this general desire
the negro participates and they state that
they will vote the anti- Ring and regular
Democratic ticket If they are protected i'll

fair and square one with right and Justice

people are lighting upon, to-wit: the par
