So great is the influence Of sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to her
that friends come in seasons of sickness
and sorrow for help and comfort. One
soothing touch of her kindly hand
works wonders in the feversh child a
few words let fall from her lips IN the
ear of sorrowing sister do much to
raise the load of grief that is bowling its
victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out with
the pressure of business and feeling
irritable with the world in general, but
when he enters the cOZy sittiDg-rOom
and sees the blaze of the bright fire and
meets his wife's smiling face, he sue
cumbs in moment to the soothing in
fuences, which act as the balm OF
Gilead to his wounded spirit. We are
all wearied with combating with the
realities of life. The rongh schoolboy
flies in a rage from the taunts of his
companions, to find sOlace in the moth
er's smile; the little one, full of grief
with it's own large trouble, finds haven
Of rest on its mothers breast and SO
one may go on with instances of the in
fuence a sweet minded woman has in
the social life with which she is con-
nected. Beauty is an insignificant power
when compared with hers.

United States Court has been in ses.
SION this week and was engaged in
trying rarties for violation of U. s.
laws. There is one feature of the re.
suit of convictions that arrests our at.
tention, it is the quantum Of costs that
follows a conviction. Thus, a party il
indicted for technical violation OF the
Internal Revenue laws, he comes into
court, pleads guilty and is fined ten
dollars and costs. When the costs are
summed up they amount to some sixty
or seventy dollars. One item--on all
such convictions the y. S. District At
torney claims and is paid conviction
fee Of fifty dollars. We have no doubt
that there is legal precedent for this.

II seems that an effort will be made
to slice another piece off st. Landry.
Scarcely had tie ink dried on the notice
of intention to apply for the creation of
Evangeline, when another edict is pub
lished announcing that an application
would be made to the Legislature to
create new parish out of the northern
portion of st. Landry and the southern
portion of Avoyelles. 1t will be great
wonder if our friends living in the
neighborhood of Arnaudville do not
come forward and ask for a parish for
their section, If this thing keeps on
better abolish the old parish and be
done with it. Alas! Poor old St.
