The Flemish pc lie of Belgium and
Holland are a simple and slow going
race, but are by no means without
sense of humor They have an imagi-
nary claracter-La Guerliche-they call
him-of whom they tell all manner of
stories; bantering, boastful old fellow,
who speaks in parallels and proverbs,
but often to the point. He is always
very ready in his replies, as the follow
ing story of his wisdom illustrates:
On II certain occasion the king of the
n 'therland5 visited his faithful subjects
of flanders. On his way through the
country he passed by what he declared
WAS the finest farm he had ever seen;
and within but step he came acros,
the most beautiful windmill that had
ever met his gaze.
"Whose mill is that?" the king asked.
ut is the miller La Guerliche's mill,
sire
And whose farm is that?'
at belongs to the bailiff, Carefree,
sire"
"Carefree, ell? Well, he must be
happier man than am. Let word be
sent to him atonce that shall give him
audience to- morrow, in order to put
three questions to him; first, how much
the moon weighs; second, how much
his king is VOL TIL; and third, what am
thinking. If he answers any one of
these questions wrong he will be
hanged"
Bailitf Carefree was in despair when
he heard this summons from the king,
but La Guerliche offered to take his
place before the Ling on condition that
he, Carefree. should renounce his claim
to the hand of Trinette, who was be-
loved of both.
Carefree accepted the terms, and next
day La Guerliche appeared before the
king.
We'll, WE'LL" said the monarch
freely, "and can YOU tell me how much
the moon Meighs?'
Exactly hundred weight" said La
Guerliche.
"How do you know that?'
Because it consists of four quarters.
"That's a fact, said the king. "Now
t il me what You estimate my value at ="
"Twenty-nine silver pieces.
"Wlat! Scoundrel, What do you
mean?"
"Ah, sire. our Mister WIS sold for 80
pieces and as a go Vt Christ ian should
have to rate YOU a little lower.
"Um-very well,' said the king.
"And, now. perhaps, you can tell me
what | Think"
"Precisely, sire. You think Pm
Bailitf Carefree.
yes.
well, | am not. I'm La Guerliche!"
Il appoint you my prime minister on
the spot!' said the king, with great ell
thlSiasm.

Why Boys Are Mischievous.

a boy can not invent anything-he
can only initiate; and it is easier to imi-
tate evil than good. You can initiate
war, but how are you going to initiate
peace? So II boy passes his leisure in
contrivine mischief If you get another
fellow to walk into a wasps camp you
can see him jump and hear him howl,
but if you do not, then nothing at all
happens. If YOU set a dog to chase cat
up tree, then something has been done;
but if you do not set the dog on the cat,
then the cat just lies in the sun and
sleeps, and you lose your time. If II
boy could find out some way of doing
good, SO that he could be active in it,
very likely he you'd want to do good
now and then; but as he can not he very
seldom wants to do good

As per previous notice the Alexan-

met on the diamond here on Sunday
to battle for championship honors and
purse of $50 side.
A large crowd was present, notwi'h-
standing the intense heat, (the game
was called at o'clock p. NJ and the
enthusiasm and excitement during tue
nine innings was intense. In the
start of the game, when the Natchito-
ches boys were first at the bat, consid-
cradle money was wagered, the Alex
apdris hackers believing firmly in the
ability of their boys to win.
After the first inning, when the SEQ.
rers marked seven for each nine every
one was in a fever; but when the
Alexandria's came to the bat and
made runs on the I'd and 2 runs on
the Sd innings, thus putting them
four runs ahead, cheer after cheer
went up from the home crowd.
Natchitoches was goose-egged on
the I'd and Sd innings and made six
runs on the 4th, thus putting them 2
runs behind Alexandria on even in
nings' In the 9th inning both mines
made one run in the sixth Natchi-

behind. The seventh inning was
equal-both mines made three runs
