The Louisiana State Fair and
Shreveport Exposition will present
it's Fourth Annual Exhibit at Shrev-
port, beginning Tuesday, the 9Th
day Of October, and ending Mon
day the 14th. Past experience en-
ables the management to enlarge
the scope of usefulness and attrac-
tiyeness of the various exhibits of
our agricultural and other products
and increase the premium lists to
the highest point of liberality. Bet
ter crops, fatter and better cattle,
larger and stronger work animals, !,
and encouragement in all industrial
pursuits is the sure outcome of these
exhibits. Everybody should raise
something for competition, or send
something useful or attractive to
exhibit, and go to Shreveport dur
ing Fair week. An immense num-
Der of attractions are engaged by
the management that will prove in
structive as well as amusing.
Competitive prize and exhibition
drills of the crack military compa-
MES of the Southwest will be a
grand feature of the Exposition. A
special committee are now perfect
ing arrangements to entertain them.
Trotting, running and pacing
races will have an unusual number
OF entries of the fastest horses.

sons Injured.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-A foolhardy
experiment of two lads OF a mechanical
turn of mind resulted in both BOYS being
killed and two others seriously injured.
The dead lads were Harry and William
Jessrv, aged Is and II years respectively,
residing at 621 South Third street. They
ploying their spare time running small
engine. For few days past they had been
generating steam in an old range boiler,
which they had set up in corner of the
yard under shed.
Steam was conveyed from the boiler by
pieces Of gaspipe, while small brick fur
mace was arranged under the boiler, where
the boys had kindled hot fire. Henry,
who owned the engine, which was about 18
inches long, had stated his intention to at
tach the engine to the family ice cream
freezer and do away with Handwriting.
With that in mind, the lads conducted their
experiment. While Harry was oiling the
engine and William was banking up the
fire with bricks there was a terrific explo-
sion. which was heard for squares around.
Harry was thrown with great force against
fence and instantly killed. His legs and
arms were broken and one side of his head
was horribly crushed. William was thrown
further under the shed and flying brick
evidently struck him in the head fracturing
his skull. Both his legs were frightfully
crushed. He was taken to the Pennsylvania
Hospital where he died in about an hour.
Little Henry Kniese, who was watching
the experiment from shed, was cut under
the eye, and Mrs. Flora Kniese was severely
scalded about the back.

Rev. Dagger breaches n Sermon on the Ma
tionaI Gnme.

Rev, Dagger breaches n Sermon on the Ma
tionaI Gnmc.
The Rev. Forrest E. Dagger, of Holy Trinity
R. E. Church preached Sunday evening ser
mon upon the "Moral Lessons of Baseball, n
taking his text from Eccles. N., 9. The sermon
is one of a series that Mr.. Dagger is delivering
upon the amusements of youth, and contained
many unique parallels on the national game.
He declared that the game on general princi-
pies was good thing, and said:
I'VE cannot afford to ignore anything that
has taken such universal hold upon the lives
of our young men as baseball, and there are
many lessons to be learned from it. First, the
umpire: the most important person about a
game is the umpire Great difficulties are ex.
perienced in securing competent umpires, and
there are not over half dozen in the whole
country. From this we can draw the inference,
II a man is not competent to settle disputes
arising between man and man he certainly is
the great game of life. with God as the umpire,
you are bound to have fair play.
"a second feature is the need of skilled and
temperate players. All the big clubs have
long practice. and who are willing to abstain
from strong drink. This is also necessary to
make a success of the great game OF life.
What one error may costi 1t can be safely
said that the great majority of all games we're
lost by one or two errors. So it is that one
misstcp in life may mean everlasting defeat.
Another thing urged is the great need OF sink
ing individuality and obtaining success in gen.
eral team work. The best results in the church
are obtained in this way. Finally, the enthusl-
asm when the home club wins. and the silence
when it makes an error. So it ought to be IN
life. We should always be ready to render
praise for good works and refrain from cr1tl-
cism for mistakes. Philadelphia Inquirer.
