made to exhaust the child's stock OF
words by questioning. He used 3o@
words OF which "a per cent. were nouns
10 per cent. verbs, and eleven adjectives-

Three Louisiana Boys.
IN. o. Pioayune.J

Not all the distinguished men
who have helpeA to illustrate the
history of Louisiana were born on
its soil, but the State has not failed
to present among its most distin-
guished representatives men to the
manner born. A gentleman, not
the oldest inhab{tant, but one who
possibly knows"that ancient and
most respectable parsonage, fur
nishes some "reminiscences which
are interesting at this juncture and
are briefly thus:
Down in the southern part of
Louisiana, on the bayous in the
lowlands near the sea, three sons
of neighbors were growing up to-
gether some forty years ago. They
were destined to play important
parts in the history of the State
and nation. All were sons of large
sugar planters and had distinguish
ed parentsge. The younger was a
little fellow, while the others were
IL years old.
One boy graduated at West Point,
won a high position in war, was
loved in peace and has been twice
called to the Governors chair in
this State.
Another took distinguished hon.
ors at Yale College and became a
distinguished general and states
man and has been twice elected
United States Senator, besides
serving many years in the lower
house of Congress.
The younger, keeping pace with
his seniors, youth in war, soon
took high position in the State
service and on the bench of the
Supreme Court of this State, and
has become a distinguished orator
and is now elected United States
Senator.
They are bright examples for the
young people of Louisiana.
These neighbors boys that grew
up on the sluggish bayous in the
fertile sugar lands on the Black
and Lafourche were Frank Mich
oils, Randall Gibson and Ed. White.
