TERRIBLE SCENES
The Destruction by Flood at Bayou
Sara and Point Coupee
Complete.
Many Lives Are in Jeopardy and
Live Stock Drown and
Starve,
Ruin and D~esoIation Meets thc Eye
on Every Side-Another Levee
Gives Way With Dis
astrous Results.

New ORLEANS, April ga special
10 the Daily States from Bayou Sara,
La, says the relief steamer Dacotah
reached there yesterday evening. She
had made a trip to Point Coupee and
had come back to Bayou Sara. Her ar
rival wal a godsend TO the people,
whose lives were in jeopardy. for she
had not only saved a large amount OF
property, but a great many lives. The
entire front of Point Coupee is under
water and most Of the levees have gone.
No pen is equal to the task OF picturing
the devastation of the country or the
aesolation Of the people. The small
stretches Of the levee still standing are
crowded with men, ome and children,
lido by side with horses, mules and
lows. Hundreds Of lives are In jeopardy.
In an old gin house 500 negroes were
found huddled together. Their con-
aition was pitiable. The damage in the
bverflowed districts Is incalculable.
The Texas and Pacific road succeeded
yesterday in saving 200 people from the
back country around Morganza,
Ruin and desolation meets tho eye On
every side at Point Coupee parish. Tho
destruction is complete. Not O planta-
ton is left above water, not a levee TN.
broken, while hundreds OF families are
homeless. Thousands OF stock have
been drowned, and from meager reports
received from the interior it is quite
probable human lite has been sacrificed
to the flood. Standing on the deck OF
the relief steamer Dacotah last evening
the full extent of disaster could be seen.
Grouping together on little broken
knobs between the broken levees,
through which the water rushed with
nngovernable fury, were scores Of peo-
pie, both white and black, some with
babies in arms, while others had dogs
secured by cords. Many OF them had
nothing else in the world except the
clothes they wore on their backs. When
ever the Dacotah discovered a scene like
this the stage was swung out and the
stricken ones taken aboard. Equally as
sad a scene was the poor dumb cattle
standing in the water actually starving.

"Now, back home the boys seem to fight and row continually, but here have yet to see two boys at fisticuffs."

Rules for a Clear Skin.

You want to keep your skin nice all sum-
mer? Well, then, here are some rules Tor
you.
Don't battle in hard water; soften it with
few drops of ammonia, or little borax.
Don't battle your face while it is very
warm, and never use gerry cold water for 1t.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling unless it is with little alcohol
and water, or little vaseliue.
Don't attempt to remove dust with cold
water; give your face hot bath. using
plenty of good soap, then giveit thorough
rnsing with water that has had the chill
taken off of it.
DON'T rub your face with coarse towel,
lust remember it is not made OF cast-lroD,
and treat it as you would the finest porcelain
gently and delicately.
Don't use sponge, or linen rag for your
face: choose instead flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrinkles
by filling in the crevices with powder. In
stead give your face Russian bath every
night; that is, to battle it with water so hot
that you wonder how you can stand it, and
then, minute after, with cold water that
will make it glow with warmth; dry it with
soft towel and go to bed, and you ought
to sleep like baby while your skin is grow
ing frmer and coming from out of the
wrinkles, and you are resting.-Ladaes'

WHY Woman is Mans Best Friend.

First and foremost woman is mans best
friend:
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in illness,
endures his fretfulness and mothers him.
Because she will stick to him through
good and evil report, and always believe in
him, if she loves him.
Because without her he would be rude,
rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words, Of kindly thought and con-
sideration.
Because she can with him, endure pain
quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because, on her breast, he can shed tears
of repentance, and he is never remin ded OF
them again.
Because, when behaving like a fretful
boy-and we all do, you know, at times
with no reason in the world for it, w0man's
soft word, touch or glance will make him
ashamed of himself as he ought to be.
Because without her as an incentive he
would grow lazy; there would be no good
work done, there would be no noble books
written, there would be no beautiful pic
lures painted, there would be no divine
strains of melody.
because she mas maue LOT US D0auGHt
world in which we should be proud to live,
and contented to die.
Because-and this is the best reason Of
all-when the world had reached an unen
viable state OF wickedness, the blessed task
of bringing it a Saviour for all mankind
was given to woman, which was Gods
way of setting his seal of approval on hel
who is mother, wife, daughter and sweet
heart, and, therefore, mans best friend

LOST.
BY JAMES wH1TcoMB RILEY.

Twas Summer ago, when he left me here,
A summer of smiles with never tear,
IT'LL said to him with a sob, my dear;
Good-by, my lover. good.by!
For love him, oh, as the stars love night!
And my cheeks for him flashed red and wn1te
When he first called me his hearts deI1gnt;
Good by, my lover, good-by.
The touch of his hand was thing divine
AS he sat with me in the soft moonshine,
And drank of my love as men drink wine;
Good-by, my lover. good.by!
And never night, as knelt in prayer,
In gown as white as our own souls were.
But In fancy he came and kissed me there:
Good.by, my lover, good-by!
But now, O God what an empty place
NV whole heart is of the old embrace,
And the kiss loved there lives no trace;
Good-by, my lover, good-by!
He sailed not over the stormy sea;
And he went not down in the waves-not ne
Rut oh. he is lost, for he married me;
Good-by, my lover. good-by!

The high tariff advocates say the duty
on clothing does not make wearing apparel
dearer, and that SO far from clothes being
high priced, they are cheap enough to salts
fly any reasonable human being. This is
talk. The fact is that the duty on clothing
makes the price of clothes so high that
thousands of people send to Europe for
theirs in order to save the cost of that duty,
and that bales of such struggled clothing
have recently been seized at New York and

The name ''protection" is all that saves
the tariff now. What miserable swindIe
it is, too. A robbery of the workers while
pretending to benefit them. While really

MARRIED THREE TIMES AND MOTHER OF
THIRTY SEVEN CHILDREN.

She first married at the age of fifteen years,
since which time she has had three hus-
bands. Her third husband is now living.
She has given birth to triplets six times,
