Will I be Like You, Papa ?

Papa had come home, and the children
were glad to see him, for he played de-
lightful games with them, and told
them wonderful stories. He loved his
family and though he had learned to
look upon the wine when it was red, yet
he was kind and tender father to his
children.
Little six year old Freddie climbed
on his fathers knee and asked him all
sorts ct questions, and talked Of what
he would do when he was big man,
asked if he would be like papa then ;
and finally, after looking long and Sc
liously into his fathers face the boy in
CURED:
Papa, when / grow up to be man,
will my nose be red like yours and my
face all swollen p
The Redeemed face flushed yet redder,
the tears started from the fathers eyes,
as he drew bis boy to his bosom, and
said in tones that thrilled the heart of
the wife and mother with strange, new
joy
be like me when you get to he man
and neither will your father, my boy,
for from this hour lie will lead sober
life
A new light had dawned upon the
fathers mind. He had not thought of
his little boy being like him. Aud yet
whose example should child follow if
not his fathers !?

The Force Bill.
RUSTIC.

The N. o. States publishes number
of extracts from the utterances of lead
ing Republicans and Populists on the
Force bill, among them the following:
IT have washed my hands of the South. 1t is
land of rebels and traitors, who care nothing
for the sanctity OF the ballot, and will never
be in favor OF making an active campaign down
there until we can place bayonets at the polls
am now more than ever in favor OF rammins

Harrison on the Georgia election.

full force over the South and various Demo
cratic strongholds up North, We may onfident-
ly look for different state OF POLITICAL affairs

turn several more Republican Congressman

that I'll at ballot shall! be counted as he casts it.
TO put bay onet behind every ballot, I would

Maine, in the debate on the Force BILL
1.-The people Endorsed the so-called Force bill
when they elected Benjamin Harrison Presi-
dent, and they have not yet withdrawn their
mittimus. The Federal cleo ions bill is
Il comparatively mi and nerveess measure. r
1t is simply a moderate attempt toredeem
the pledge so emphaticaly given by the Repub
Ncan party in 1SS8."-Brooklyn Times, Jan. 1881
In another column the States says:
Elsewhere we print, and shall keep
standing, the utterances of President
Harrison and other distinguished and
representative Republican leaders and
organs, together with some of those of
tue pernicious demagogues and mounte-
banks of the Peoples party, in favor of
a force bill to enable the Federal gov
eminent to control our elections. We
could fill half the columns of the States
with similar utterances Of Republican
leaders and organs, and of similar ones
by the Populites; but what we print to-
day is sufficient. Ii, after reading these
utterances. there is man in the South
who says that the force bill is mere
scarecrow, then he is pitiable ass or
cOnsummate kDave.

Fidelity.

Never fol sake a friend. When ene-
mies gather around, when sickness falls
upon the heart, when all the world is
dark and cheerless, is the time to try
true friendship. The heart that has
been touched with true gold will re-
double its efforts when the friend is sad
and in trouble. Adversely tries true
friendship. They who run from the
scenes of distress betray their hypocrisy
and prove! that interest only moves
them. II you have friend who has
studied your interest and happiness, be
sure to sustain him in adversely. Let
him feel that his former kindness is
appreciated and that bis love was not
thrown away.

Were there no honest men in the

Chataignier,
Oct. "a, 1892.


Charlton is still raging
Ouite a change has taken place in the weather
since Yesterday. We need rain.
Mr. f. J. Clements, of the firm of Clements Il
wilson, was in Chataignier Saturday and at
tended the Fair.
The FAIR held here last Friday and Saturday
for the benefit of the Church bell fund was a
decided success. The weather was good and
The attendance quite large.
Misses Bertha and Eva Ludeau, accompanied
Ivy Mr.. Y. f. sensat, of Vile Plate, attended
tie Fair Friday and contributed valuable as
slstance to its success.
The whistle of the threshing machines can
still be heard in this section, which indicates
that much rice is yet to be threshed
Messrs. l. J. Dossman and X. Guiilaumin, OF
Vile Plate, attended the FAIR Friday night
The Fair netted to the bell fund the sum OF
S1696 IS; previous donations and contributions,
S75 90; total to date, $24465.
The price of rice remains the same i'll Opelou-
sas despite the fact that is worth 50. in New
Orleans. $500 per sack is not a sufficient price
for good ri &c. When the price in New Orleans
fell to S2G5 Opelousas still paid 81 90 for it, and
now that it is worth 40 cents more they pay the
same price. Poor farmers!

Evergreen College.

We publish in another column the an
nouncement of Evergreen College, stu
ated at Evergreen, Avoyelles parish, six
miles from Bunkie and nine miles from
Eola. This institution was chartered
in 1855 as the Evergreen Home Institute.
The main object of its founders was to
have high school at home in order to
keep their children with them as long
as possible. But the central and health
ful location Of the school, and the high
standing of the people of Evergreen
soon gave the school prominence abroad
and attracted boarding patronage. The
demand soon exceeded the limits OF the
ordinary high school course and made
it necessary to introduce the higher
branches of education, and to provide
for every department of instruction.
To meet this demand the Institution
has been rechartered as the Evergreen
College, and as such presents course
of study requisite for collegiate instrue-
ton. and offers the advantages usual in
oil colleges. Competent instructors in
all departments have been secured and
the College offers advantages exceeded
by none in the State.

Parish School Teachers,

Elsewhere in this issue we reproduce
the resolutions adopted by the State
Board Of Education, but desire particu-
larly to impress upon our local board
the necessity of complying with one of
these resolutions. 1t reads:
Resolved, that the several parish
school boards, committees on teachers,
and parish superintendent throughout
the State are urged to use their best en-
deavOrs to secure the services of COM
petent teachers that many graduates
OF our State Normal School and other
colleges entitled to preference in the
employment of teachers desire positions
in our schools, many of whom have APP
piled to our State erintendent for
employment, who will furnish their
names and addresses on application /:
and we urge the local authorities to Sc
cure the services of such teachers as the
best means of advancing the education
al interests of the children of the
State"
There can be no question that the
State Board in giving voice to this SEN
timent is in line with the spirit of the
law which created the Normal School.
And the wonder to as is that this faw
did not make the employment of Nor
NAL graduates mandatory, other things
being equal.
The Normal School was established
for the avOwed and sole purpose of fur
nishing competent public school teach
ers to the several parishes. And we
submit that any school board violates
its duty in the premises, whenever it
refuses to give Normal School sradu-
ate school, as between such gradu-
ate and others. The custom has too
long prevailed in this State of saddling
our public schools with broken down
politicians or other favorites, without a
particle of regard for competency, and
as consequence the public school sys-
tenn of Louisiana has always touched
the lowest ebb.
The Normal School. in our opinion,
was the outgrowth Of a movement to
put an estoppel to such practices. 1t
therefore devolves upon the Parish
Boards to assist the Normal to the ex-
tent OF giving employment to it's grad
ates, Gtherw Use it may as we'll be abol-
ished altogether.
We, submit these statements to the
consideration of our own board and
trust that it will act accordingly.
The above is clipped from the Demo-
cratic Review, newspaper published
at Natchitoehes, La, and, without
doubt. deserves the attention of our
new Public School Board.

RUNS UNDxk wATER.
Successful Test Of New Sub Marine
Boat.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Sub-marine navi-
CATION has been demonstrated possible,
and by an experiment in Lake Michi-
gan It has been concIusivoly proven
that the future will see a new era in
harbor and coast defenses. The boat,
invented by George G.. Baker of De-
troit, was run under the surface of the
water and was thoroughly under the
control of its operators.
Mr.. Baker took charge Of the boat,
and before testing its quality as .
"diver." gave it . short run on the sur.
face. When the motor wasset the boat
shot along through the water 1T high
rate of speed. Everything being in
first-class working order, the lid on the
coming tower was securely fastened
and the boat WAS Oft for . trip under
the waves. After running short dis
tance it suddenly sank from sight,
leaving not q ripple to show where it
had gone. For several minutes the
party on the tug looked in vain for
some ripple or current which would
show which way it was headed. Sud-
denly, like huge red porp0ise, il shot
ont of the water, only to disappear
again 90 soon - the helmsnlan had as
sured himself that he was in no danger
of running into the tug, which lay =
couple of points to port.
The gaskets on the tower did not
work satisfactorily and the boat shipped
water. The damage Was repaired and
again the boat settled toward the bot
tom of the lake and made an excellent
run.
