THE MOTHERS WORK.

Her Love is Not to Be Measured BY the
Number of Stitches She Takes.
We notice an article on home Dress
making in one OF our family journals,
the advice to mothers to cultivate the
art OF hand sewing, especially on chill
dren's clothing. One reason given for
this is that no decoration is so fashion
able and suitable as the stitches placed
by q mother. Then the statement is
made, 1--WE are all apt to sew in great
ambitious and loving wishes, and isn't
it possible there may be greater hope
for all we pray for coming to the little
people II work and devotion are COM
bined?' @
We really think no sensible woman
will, after a moments thought, be dis
turbed by such remarks as this. But
there may be some young mothers who
may be striving to so plan their work
and sewing that they may have some
time left for other things. just when
this has been accomplished by dispens-
ing with a little trimming here, making
the children's dresses by palmer pat
tern, SO the work can be done on a ma
chine instead of by hand, she comes
across the article referred to. Her
heart sinks. Every mother likes to see
her children daintily and appropriately
dressed. But to have this, she must
put hand work on them, feather-stitch-
ing, embroidery, etc, we suppose.
We should like to be informed also
wherein exists the superiority of ambi-
tious and loving wishes laboriously
worked in by weary hands over those
which kept time to the swift motion of
the treadle OF the sewing machine.
Is, then, ones love and interest to be
measured by the amount Of work put
upon the children's garments and not by
the tender care and watchfulness, the
sympathy with their pursuits, their dis
appointments and successes? Women
and mothers of the present generation
have many Of them learned that these
things are more important than the ex-
ira rufle on the dress or the extra finish
OF hand work on the little garments.
II time and strength are lacking to ac-
complish both, the latter and not the
former is the one to be neglected, and
the children themselves, as they grow
older, win be the first to acknowledge
this. =.
Let no one, then, be discouraged by
articles which would persuade us that
our children can not be properlydressed
or cared for unless a certain number of
stitches are taken and certain model
followed. Circumstances alter cases
and no one can be Judge for another.
Only let us be sure that the more Inn
portant things of life are not overlooked
while our attention Is given to those
which are not to be neglected entirely.

The PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE OF LOUISIANA
New Orleans, November -, 1890.

New Orleans, November II, 1890.
DR.. John Kelly, Winnfeld, La. Dear
Sir-Our friend, Mr. A. w. Faulkner
of Columbia, has suggested that you
would be likely to assist us in organiz-
ing Branch Of our League in your
parish and I write to ask your advice
and cooperation.
The Ants are working hard all over
the State, and if we are to hold our
own, we must do likewise. Our plan
is, as soon as the organization is COM
plete throughout the State, to call a
convention OR conference (say next
spring. of representative men from ev-
cry part Of the State and let them de-
eide upon plan of campaign, and take
charge of same. We intend to submit
the lottery amendment to the Demo-
cratic State Convention, and, if it is
endorsed there, the Ants will have to
support 1t at the general election or
else bolt the party, which their leaders
at least cannot afford to do. As mat
ters stand now, after conceding to the
Ants every doubtful parish, we think
we are sure of nearly two-thirds major
ity in the Democratic Convention.
However, we are determined to make
the fight in every parish in the State
where our friends can make a showing
which will entitle lis to have conf
dence in their success, and we will help
them in their local affairs at the same
time. We want to know who our
friends are everywhere, and how far
we may rely upon them.
If you will be kind enough to sug-
gest to us one or two leading men from
each ward in your parish, who are
friendly to our mo Tement, we will try
and interest them in organizing a Par
ish League We should much prefer,
however, to have you take the lead in
the matter, and let us rely on you to
see the different ward leaders or else to
send some trusted friend to see them,
and we will bear the expenses.
Will you kindly let us hear from
you at your earliest convenience,
Yours truly,
T. A. MARSHALL JR., Sec'y.

Resolutions Adopted by the Parish
Farmers Union, January 5, 1891.

Resolved, that this convention strongly
endorses the ST.. LANDRY CLARION and re-
commend it to the public as reliable, un-
subsidized, honest local newspaper, devot-
ed to the interests of the people and hostile
to all monopolies;
Resolved further, that this convention
recommend and advise all the subordinate
Unions in this parish, to officially aid and
support the CLARION, and use their lnhu-
ence to increase its circulation and patron
age.
Resolved further, that it be selected as
the Official Organ of our Order in this par
ish.
Whereas, the La State Lottery is trying
at the present time to subvert the wishes
OF the people of this State, by mandamns,
and papers sent out by the Progressive
League, and also by subsidized press
owned by men acting for or in the interest
of said lottery; therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Farmers Union of the
parish of st. Landry, at Turkey Creek as
sembled, do most solemnly reiterate their
opposition to this hydra-headed monster,
and affirm most positively that we will not
support any papers in or out of this State,
in favor of the Louisiana or any other lot
terry, and that we will oppose with all our
manhood and energy the electioe of any
man to office in this State, or parish, who
is in favor of lotteries.

DINGY LONDON THEATERs.

They Are Mostly Underground and Lack
Color and Tone.
The theaters in London lack color
and spirit either by day or night. They
are dreary places to look at and diff
cult to get into, for you either have to
go underground or upstairs to see q
play. As rule they are not attractive
until you get into them, but there is an
air of comfort about all the surround
ings that makes you contented when
you get there. The bar-room privi-
leges are abundant, and you can have
a drink brought to your seat or an ice
for your girl without going out. In fact,
they do not permit you to leave play
house in London without charging for
return. -.
They provide every thing on the in
side and expect you to patronize them.
Yet no one abuses these privileges, and
neither men nor women get funny be-
cause they are allowed to have what
they want without leaving the theater.
These English women and men are
very much in love with their stomachs,
and food and liquor play very emf
nent part in the economy of this nation.
AS already stated, the theaters are
mostly underground; some of them en-
tirely SO, and they bear no comparison
whatever to the American play-houses
for beauty, but in comfort they can give
us points. The seats are roomy, the
aisles wide and the attendance as per-
feet as it can be. That is probably be-
cause pretty girls are the ushers instead
of boys. The long passages and singu-
lar byways by which you get in and out
set the average American wild with ap-
prehension, lest he be burned up or
murdered in case of a panic.
The new theaters now being con-
structed change this condition OF affairs
and give you more Of American play
house than they have ever known in the
British capital. No matter how big the
kick among the actors and actresses
about American theaters, the London
houses are no comparison to them SO
far as comfort for the players is con-
cerned. The audience, however, fares
better and the people who pay the cheap
prices are just as well off as those who
buy the most expensive seats known az
the stalls.--N.. Y. journal

He Kept His Word and Turned Into q

l distinctly remember the first hang
ing l ever saw in Nevada mining
camp, and as I put in ten years out
there, and as hangings came to be OF
weekly occurrence, rather pride my
self on this feat OF memory. A lazy,
quarrelsome miner named Rattebone
struck man with a pick one day and
killed him, and after fair trial was
found guilty and condemned to hang.
On the night preceding the execution
he sent for me. / had once given him
q pipe and had also written two or
three letters for him ana he reasoned
that / was his friend. w en- entered
his presence he held out hia hand and
said:

afraid to hang?"
ssOh, no.''
''Hain't no idea I'll weaken?"
'None, whatever"

There's an old fellow down the creek
named Champlin. A month ago got
into fuss with him, and he said I'd be
hung inside Of three months. This
thing will tickle him almost to death.
He'll say: 4 told you so!' and he'll go
on about the wicked being cut,short in
their career, and all that, and want to

wild Boars at Windsor

Three wild boars were recently shot
in the Queens swine garten in Windsor
Great Park, of which two were for her
Majesty and the other was sent to the
Prince of Wales. Wild boar was first
served at the royal table during the
reign OF George ~, who was very fond
of it. John Wilson Croker records that
when he was staying with the King at
the Pavilion in January, 1922, his Ma
jesty made us all eat some roast wild
boar from Hanover, which was very
good, like pork with a game flavor"
Mr.. Croker, on being asked by the King
"what he thought of it" replied: ''It is
to pork what pheasant is to fowl"
whereupon his Majesty observed that
nothing is so good as fowl; if they
were as scarce as pheasants, and pheas-
ants as plenty as fowls, no one would
eat pheasant London World.

Heath, justice of the peace of Douglas
vile precinct, the place where Lee
Green murdered the Lowe family, stat
ing for him TO come at once that another
party had been arrested, Mack Dem
mons, charged with being implicated
in the Lowe murder, and that he
would probably be lynched if steps
were not taken to pre-
vent it. Attorney Pruitt
with Sheriff Lanier, left the next
morning at o'clock for Douglassville.
Upon their arrival the spirit of lynch
ing was still prevalent. Papers were
filed against Mack Demmons, charg-
ing him with murder. An eXamina-
ton was waived, and the prisoner
ordered tojail. However, before Sheriff
Lanier and Constable Morris started
with the prisoner, County Attorney
Pruitt announced that the prisoner
would be conveyed direct to the
Linden jail, and that he was there
ready to prosecute any man or num-
Der of men for murder who would en-
gage in the mobbing Of Mack Dem
mons on his way to Jail. He was
landed safely in Jail yesterday about
o'clock.
