For CLERK.
The Democratic Ticket.

Two State conventions were held in
Baton Rouge last week, one composed Of
straightout, anti-lottery, anti-monopoly
Democrats, the other Of supporters Of the
un- Democratic McLottery combine.
The Democratic convention completed
its work Thursday night, placing a grand
ticket on a splendid platform and pfovi-
ding for the rehabilitation of the Dem
ocratic organization in Louisiana by free
ing it from the blighting influence Of the
lottery. The other body remained in ses-
sion until Saturday, waiting for the re-
port of its committee on credentials and
the result OF the familiar tactics OF the
lottery in enticing over as many delegates
as possible. In the regular convention
Capt T. S. Adams was nominated for
Governor by acclamation, but positively
declined to accept The convention then
nominated the following ticket in pur-
suance of the Lafayette agreement which
was carried out to the letter:
from st. Mary.
For Lieutenant Governor. Charles Parlange OF
Pointe Coupee.
For secretsrs of State. Thomas SCOTT Adams
" For Or Auditor Of Public Accounts. W. W. Heard
of Union.
For Attorney General, Milton J. Cunningham
of NatchitOchee.
For superintendent Of Puplic Education, A.
D. Lafargue. of Avoyelies.
This is ticket that any Democrat may
vote with pride, and it represents the
principles and the forces that will redeem
the Democracy OF Louisiana and triumph
in the approaching struggle.

One Majority Called EN-.

The Lottery Convention, which assem-
bled at Baton Rouge last week, held its
session at Pixies hall, while the regular
Democratic Convention was held in the
State House. The Pixies hall convention
nominated s. d. McEnery, of Ouachita, for
governor; r. G. Wickliffe, of West Felici-
ana, for lieutenant governor; L. f. Ma
son for secretary Of State, 0. b. Steele for
auditor, Gabriel Montegut for treasurer,
E. W. Southerlin for attorney general, J.
v. Calhoun for supt. public education.
OF the Is contested parishes the Nc
Lottery credentials committee gobbled
Is, graciously admitted . that they could
not claim Avoyelles and Rapides, but
recommended the seating OF Mr.. John G.
Ryan's famous appointed delegation"
In common with the other parishes
Grant is slurred over and outraged with
this sort of report:
"As to the parish of Grant, your CON-
mittee can say without hesitation that
never in the history Of political campai-
gns have they ever heard of snch put
rageous proceedings between citizens
claiming to be of the same political per-
suasion. The following named delegates
are submitted to this convention, to-wit:
G. ID. Hickman, James A. Harry, j. Kemp,
ST., John P. Hadnot, T. ]. Hickman, 8.
M. Lacroix, g. H. Teal, James NJ. Nu-
gent, Sam Johnson, William A. Jones, S.
r. Lee, Jr., ". J. Tison, J. II. Kemp.
And especial attention OF this convention
and of the grand Democratic party is
called to the accompanying detailed state
ment annexed TO this report"
When it is remembered that the Ants
fairly elected their delegates from ward
one by majority of one {46 to 45) and
that this gave them the parish conven-
ton by majority OF one (12 to 11) the
infamy of this report is apparent.
The sting from Grant parish is, 'ths
usual majority" prevailed here, but in oul
case il was against King John Morfls and
his swindiing lottery game.

sEcRETARY MOHLER,s RePORT

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 2L-The crop report
Just issued by Secretary Mohler Of the
Kansas state board of agriculture shows
that severe drouth has prevailed in the
eastern division of Kansas. covering about
thirty-nine counties. The drouth was
most severe in that section OF the eastern
belt south of the Kansas river. Coffee Cow
ley, Lin, lien Anderson, Bourbon, Chero-
kee. Elk. Montgomery and some other
counties report no rain since July.
Stock water is very scarce and the pastures
are dried up. In the northern counties the
drouth has not been so severe. The re-
suits of the drouth have been that plowlng
in many counties could no be done. and
the wheat area in this belt is only 647 per
cent of the area sown last wear. The
wheat which is sown is reported poor
stand and in poor condition. Jefferson
county reports the poorest condition of
wheat in twenty years In some counties
the stack weevil is at work, and in many
counties the Hessian fly has appeared.
In the central belt wheat is reported in
much better condition, though there has
been not enough rain to put the ground in
good shape for wheat. Lately the rains
have been abundant and the ground is in
good condition for late sowing. The per-
centage of the area sown to wheat is SO 8
per cent, as compared with last year.
Wheat sown early in this belt has done
well
In the western belt the conditions are
much the same as in Central Kansas. The
soil is in good condition for wheat, and
the acreage sown TO wheat in this belt is
I26.S per cent. of last years acreage
TIE total area for the state (estimated) is
2S4. S53 acres less than a year ago. The
condition is generally much below the
condition at this time last year. The out
look for next seasons crop is not fattering.

THE ANGEL OF SORROW.

A poet whose songs were as sweet as could be
But were light as the foam of the restlest

Every true poet should aim TO bring
Peace TO some heart by the songs he may
sing;
But how can he know what viii comfort woo
Until be has felt in his own heart It's sting,
"Tby life has been free from sorrow or care;
Hast thou the courage to suffer, and share
The grief and pain of others. 10 gain
The power to cheer those who burdens bearr
The poet made answer, II have no fear
OF pain if il bring me the power TO chesr;
Lay a cross upon me. and, though heavy IL be
Close will l hold it as q treasure dear"
The angel said gravely: Thou hast choser
Alright,
And a cross will be laid upon thee tonight:
There is one to thee dear, and her loss, fear,

from sight.
This was long ago; the poet, grief worn,
Has through the slow years his cross bravel,

His songs are replete with sympathy sweet.
And are dear to the hearts that loved one

To Tell Pure SILK.

If you wish TO purchase by sample aro
to test the quality of silk take ten fbers
of the filing of any silk, and if on break
ing they show feathery dry and lack

in handling, you may at once be sure OF
the presence Of dye and Of artificial

Or take small portion of the fibers
between the thumb and forefnger and
gently roll them over and over, and you
will soon detect the gum, mineral. soap

Another simple but effective way 70

CATLETTsBURG, KY, Nov. 21-David
Bartram and wife, living three miles from
Louisa, XIV. on the West Virginia side
of the river, went to church Thursday
night, leaving their three smaller children
alone in the house. After the children
had gone TO sleep the elder one, boy, was
awakened 10y a fire which had caught in
the kitchen. The little fellow had no idea
of danger to the other children, but
thought he must notify his parents. He
set off at full speed in his night clothes
for the church, two miles distant, and
rushed in and told his parents. BY the
time they returned the entire house was
in flames and the smaller children were
burned to death. The agony of the parents
is beyond expression.

Lord castlereagh's Ghost.

In one of the standard British bio
graphical works may be, found the story
of Lord Castlereagh and the ghost. 1t
seems that when quite a young man
Castlereagh commanded a militia regi-
ment in Ireland. One night he was sta
toned in large, desolate country house.
The bed upon which my lord reposed
was at the end of long, dilapidated
room, while at the other extremity a
great fire of wood and turf had been
prepared within a huge, gaping, old
fashioned fireplace. Waking in the mid
die of the night, Castlereagh lay watch
ing from his pillow the gradual darkening
of the embers on the hearth, when sud-
denly they blazed up and naked child
stepped from among them upon the
floor.
The figure advanced slowly toward
the drowsy but thoroughly puzzled gen.
eral, seeming TO grow with surprising
rapidity at every step, until, coming
within two or three PAGES of his bed, it
had assumed the proportions and ap-
pearance ola CHASTITY giant, pale as death,
with bleeding wounds across the brow,
eyes seeming TO glow with rage and de-
spair. Lord Castlereagh said that he
leaped from the bed and confronted the
figure in an attitude of defiance, where
upon it retreated before him, diminish
ing in size as it withdrew, in TIE same
manner that it had previously shot up
and expanded.
He followed it. pace by pace, until
the original childlike form 'lsappeared
among the embers This story Lord
Castlereagh told and declared to be true

1915 when Scott was among the hearers.

The Sweetest Visits.

There is pleasure in little, ''scrappy,"
unexpected visitings with friends, which
is often wanting from the planned and
rounded comings when the fire is bright
and the cake basket ready in the closet.
We are never conscious of a warmer,
more living nearness to a friend than
after we have unexpectedly CHANGED upon
him in the street and had few minutes
of that favorsome chat which glances at
so much and grasps so little, or after he
has dropped in, for an unanticipated
half hour, at time when we had no
reason to look for him.
Why is it that the longer, more
ordered hours Of meeting leave, on the
the whole, al impression less vivid and
less warm; Perhaps because we have
lived ne visit once, in anticipation, and
the reality has some faint fatal suspicion
of staleness: Certain it is, the scrappy
hours are sweetest.-Boston Common
