According to newspaper reports
the Louisiana lottery is making
preparations to remove the con-
Germ, or at least one branch of it,
to the new state Of North Dekota.
They propose 10 pay into the
treasury OF the new state the sum
of 100000 annually for the
privilege Of operating their busi-
ness. A bill has already passed
the Senate in favor Of the Lottery
and it is thought will pass the
lower house. We do not know
| whether it is the intention OF the
Lottery to move there, or whether
1t Is a ruse to throw the people ol
this state off tkeir guard and there

We are rather inclined to th'

A GIRL WITH THIRTY-NlNE Low,
ERS.

A vessel was voyaging over the sea,
And two score Of passengers on board
had she;
Thirty and nine of the masculine sort
And a charming young lady the cap
tain brought.
The thirty and nine were all shot
through by Cupid;
But the charming young lady thought
them all rather stupid.
She saw them alone, and she saw them
together,
How they looked in a calm and after
bad weather;
There were tall ones and short ones,
Fat, lean, rich and shady,
But all were alike deep in love with the
lady.
She could not love them all, so what
was to be done'
She consulted tho captain, who sus'
gested some fun.
Tomorrow" said he, off the day
should he calm,
just jump in the sea, and 1t shall ct
! you no harm,
And the first one that follows, to rescue
your life,
viii have the first claim to make 20,
! his wife,"
The next day was calm, and over sh
iell,
And thirty-ciyht passengers followe
as we'll;
One stayed where he was, for he coul
not swim;
He knew he'd be drowned, which wa
"gonc goose" for him.
The lady was rescued, and the passc'
gcrs tco,
And they stood IN the row as for u II
view
Uninviting before, they now locke
like drowned rats
From the soles of their feet to I'll
| crowns of their hats.
She consulted the captsin, whose loo
was a sly one

The assessors convention which
recently convened at Baton Rouge
among other resolutions and
memorials passed one asking the
coming Legislature to pass a new
road law.
1t goes without saying that the
whole state is badly IN need oil
better roads and highways, but
the fault does not lie IN the law
If the laws which now exist were
enforced, and the orerseers and
hands would do their full duty
we see no need of any new legls
lation on the subject. The fact Is
that the roads are patched u[
little just before court meets
and they go unworked the balance
Of the year.
