Al Iaisfnric Vase.

In the window OF the Pacific Hard
ware Company's store on Fort street
may be seen an exceptionally fine speci-
men Of the silversmith's art lately pur-
chased by Mr. Dillingham; when in Eng
land. It consists of a large silver vase,
circular in form, hung around with fes-
toons of grape vines and ornamented
with human figures of rugged aspect,
evidently typical OF an age when the
race attained higher standard OF physi
cal development than is now the case.
But the principal interest which centers
IN this vase lies in the fact of its being
a fac simile OF what is commonly known
as the Warwick vase. The original is
composed OF white marble and is of 1913
gallons capacity. It was discovered
many years ago at the bottom OF a lake
not far from Adrian's Villa, near TivoIi,
some II or Ii miles from Rome, and
was subsequently purchased by former
Earl OF Warwick ana conveyed to War
wick Castle in England, in the grounds
OF which capacious building was
erected FOR its reception. This exquisite
antique Ito use the words of an encyclo-
pedie1 Is considered one Of the noblest
specimens OF ancient art now in Eng

Revere.

Come with me to dreamland,
To that strange and mystic shore;
Let us drink at memory fountain,
And quatt its waters pure!
Around that crystal Fountain,
A chain of love entwiDed,
Whose links were brightly golden
With happy hearts enshrined.
Fancy sees the tender flowers,
That bloomed in youths bright morn,
But ere We turned to pluck them
Their loneliness was gone
The Ozark Sirocco" swept them,
With its mighty, searching breath,
And the loveliest are sleeping,
In the Silly calm of death.
But jonrneying on culled them
Some few that 'scaped the storm
For blossoming in Faiths sunshine,
There's naught can do them harm.
Like flowers in book" press them,
Unto my trusting heart;
Praying our God to bless them
Nor suffer us to part.
And walking in my garden,
Was Hope, with white wings spread;
Bidding me ''come and follow"
Her death note was not sung, she said.
She guides my weary footsteps,
By Faiths supernal beam;
Heart within, and God o'erhead,"
Adown life's turbid stream.
The loved and lost, who fell beneath
The dread insatiate's culver,
Are waiting on the other side,
Till pass over the river!

Janett's Hair.

"Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, jeanette,
Let me tangle a hand in your hair, my pct
For the world to me had no daiptier sight
Than your brown hair yelling your shoulders
white,
As tangle hand in your hair, my pet.
1t was brown with golden gloss, Janette,
ltwas finer than silk of the floss, my pet
Twas beautiful mist falling down to your
wrist,
Twas thing to be braided, and .jeweled, and
kissed,
Twas the lovliest hair in the world my pet.
My arm was the arm of a clown, jeanette,
1t was sinewy, bristled, and brown, nv pet,
But warmly and softly it loved to caress
Your round white neck and your wealth of
tress,
Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes had swimming glory, Janette,
Revealing the old dear story, my pet,
They we're grey, with that chastened tinge of
the sky,
When the trout leaps quickest to snap the fly
And they matched with your golden hair, my
pet.
Your lips-but l have no words, jeanette,
They were fresh as the twitter of birds, my pet,
When the spring is young, and the roses are
wet
With dew drops in each red bosom set,
And they suited your gold-brown hair my
pet.
Oh, you tangled my life in your hair, jeanette,
Twas silken and golden snare, my pet;
But so gentle the bondage my soul did lmplore
The right to continue the slave evermore,
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, my
pet
Thus ever dream what Won were. ,Jauette.
With yeur lips, and your eyes, and your hair,
my pet;
In the darkness of desolate years moan,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet.

The Republicans think that they
will bully the South into supporting
their party by the threat of reducing
the representation of the Southern
States in Congress and the Electoral
College. This threat does not bother
anybody any more than would the
threat to stop the sun from shining
in case Of Republican defeat. There
are at least two or three things that
the Republicans cannot do, no mat

The whole record of success tells
not of fortune, or luck; but rather of
sarnestness and unfinching determi-
nation. We may admit that there are
cases where "a stroke of luck" has
done great deal for man; but the
man was certainly in a position to
make the most of the luck when it
came his way. He had not dwadled
before; but had been ready to seize
opportunity by her forelock. And
never in the worlds history mas the
competition 80 great, 80 keen, in
every line of life as it is at the pres
emit day. Crowding, pushing, elbow
ing their way, men must work now to
hold their own; let alone to get ahead.

FOR JUDGE.

We are authorized to announce Col. j. A.
SNYDER as a candidate for District Judge of
the Second Judicial District, composed Of the
parishes of Bossier, Bienville and Webster,
subject to nomination by Democratic party.
FOR SHERIFF.
To the Voters of Bossier Parish: / take
this means of announcing myself as an indie
pendent candidate for Sheriff at the approach
ing election.
Having lived in Bessier Parish about o5
years, l know that nearly all the voters of the
Parish know my political and private charac-
ter well enough to decide justly between my
self aud whoever may oppose me, without any
explanation on my part.
l run as an independent from conviction
that the office of Sheriff is not political one.
If elected, only promise to do my duty faith
fully, honestly and impartially.
1 am sorry to have to say that Ihave not the
time and means to make canvass of the Par
sb. Therefore leave my chances in the hands
of my friends.
Very truly Yours,

The Judgeship.

The contest for the Judgeship of
the End Judicial District, composed
of the parishes of Bossier, Webster
and Bienville, is SO close that it is
somewhat uncertain as to who will be
the successful man. As it now stands,
Snider has II delegates, 9 from Bos
sier and two from Webster; Drew
six, three from Bossier and three from
Webster Boone nine, all from Bien-
vile. IT'S not probable that Snidsr
or Boone will withdraw or be dropped
by the convention, as each has hig
majority over Drew. 1t has been
suggested that Drew, in case he with
draws, Or is dropped by the conven-
ton, will throw his strength to
Boone. But we do not think SO; we
believe Judge Drew has too great a
regard for the good people of Bos-
sisr, whom he has served eight years,
as to disregard their feelings SO far as
to instruct his delegates from Bossier
to vote for Judge Boone, whose name
was barely mentioned in Bossier, in
preference to Col. Snider, who was
the first choice in all the wards but
one, and barely fell second in that
We refer to Drew's Bossier delegates
alone. As to his delegates from Web
ster, it seems that Judge Boone was
their second choice, and in case Drew
withdraws, they by right ought to,
and no doubt would, vote for Judge
Boone. It would be too utterly in
consistent and undemocratic for
Judge Drew to give his Bossier
strength to any one but Col Snider,
as he was the second choice by only
a few votes in the ward from which
Drew receives his two votes.
We believe Judge Drew is too fair
a man, too much a Democrat, to en-
terrain any other idea. Judge Drew
is yet comparatively young man,
and doubtless will receive many hon
ors yet at the hands of the good
people whom he has had the honor
to represent SO long, and he could
not afford to forfeit the high esteem
in which his people hold him, and
jeopardize his prospects for the fu-
tne, by using any power he may
hold to crush out the voice of the
people, no matter what pressure his
personal feelings might bring to bear
on him.
Then, in case Drew withdraws, or
is dropped by the convention, and
his Bossier strength is given to Sni-
der, as it certainly should be, since
Snider is the second choice, that will
give Snider IA votes, which will be
enough to secure him the nomina-
ton.
| The contest is between three able
and honorable men, and while It's
falmost an impossibility to tell who
will be the successful one, yet it does
seem that the chances for Snider are
the most dattering. VOTER.
