we now have some six large

as soon as the Australia gets
in with a big lot of assorted

LIGHTS in their Houses at an
early date to the advisabiltyof
having the wiring done soon.
AS only a limited number of
good house wire men are to
be had, contracts for wiring
will have to be taken up in
turn in the order received.
After the Australia gets in
we will have a complete line
of everything needed to wire
any building, including Elec-
troliers, Brackets, etc., and a
large assortment of plain and

Power of the Imapinatinn.

Il never was more firmly convinced of
the power of imagination" said man,
than was by something that happened
to me on the occasion of a visit to friend.
1t had been an extremely hot day, and
when 1 went to bed at night the heat
seemed almost insupportable. 1t seemed
to me that if should open the door from
my room into the hall it would make a
little circulation and make the air more
comfortable, and l felt safe in doing this
because l am an early riser, and knew
could get the door shut before any
body was stirring in the morning So l
opened the door, with the pleasant result
that had anticipated, and when went
to close it in the morning found that i
had opened not the door into the hall,
but the door into closet. New York

Not What He Expected.

He was calling on young lady and had been talking against time for sev- eral hours, not noticing, that. to say the least, she was slightly wearied. Do you know" he said, after complet- ing short monologue of several thou sand words, and thinking little flat tery would be appreciated, while talk ing tonight, have felt as if were in- spired by one of the muses And which one do you think it is?"
 He looked into her beautiful face searchingly. The modest blush for which he was watching proved to be wide yawn, which grew wider as she answered: 'I guess the muse that in- spires you tonight must be Euterpa."
 He didn't really know anything about mythology, so he couldn't tell just what she meant. But when he arrived home he took down his Webster's Un- abridged, and there in cold type star ing him in the face he saw: 'Euterpa- the muse who presided over wind in- struments. .'-Yankee Blade.

Not roo Near. Please.

The consciousness that a youth whose necktie exactly matched his eyes in shade awaited her coming in the front parlor sent the hot blood coursing through her veins. Suddenly her brow was darkened with doubt.
 Mamma" she called, petulantly. A tired-loolSing lady with pale, wan cheeks came and stood before the maiden. Shall wear my erinoline down tonight, mamma?"
 "Yes, my child, by all means. Hast (the mothers hand fondly caressed the golden curls) forgotten that thou par toolest of onions tonight, and that too great degree of proximity oft tends to disillusionment?"

 And then, remembering herself, she screwed her lips close together and grew very red
 "Where is the stove?" ejaculated Ral- ston.
 Down cellar, sir" said Mrs. Minton. Look for yourself. Pm sure don't want nothin' to do with none of your papers!"
 And down rushed Simeon. In half minute he returned, evidently much re- lieved.
 "They were in the ash-drawer," said he, land your husband must ha' changed 'em around! l declare, be- tween meddling men and meddling women, I'm most ruined.''
 Dear mel" gasped Mrs. Minton, looking feebly after him as he strode away. "There ain't neither beginnin' nor end to all this fuss. What will Moses say when he comes home?'
 Once in his own room at home Mir. hdlSNoh hllto Ou opSNtdSito ilo hurriedly opened the fateful package.
 ''Faugh.' he cried, dropping it in dis may. Its pack O love letters! My own lover My dearest treasure" Yours until death. What are these? And where's my five United States bonds for thousand dollars each?"
 He was answered sooner than he had expected, for while the exclamation yet lowered on his lips Comfort rushed in with clasped hands.
 Father she cried, there is some thing that belongs to you! Some gov ernment bonds with your name on Bens letters?"
 ''Ben's letters, eh?" said the old man, slow smile breaking over his face. Well. here they be. A fair exchange ain't no robbery
 Father girls head dropped on his shoulder, the tears sparkled in her eyes-''you know it all now. We love each other. We shall be wretched un- less we can be united Take back what you said, father. Do not forbid us to be happy, dear, dear father!"
 IVY ell. well, Salu kalSuOn, ready to concede anything in the immense relief of recovering the treasures that had been well-nigh lost, have it your own way, if the case is really so bad as that. Folks says Ben's business is lookin' up of late, pr'aps he'll make decent sort O husband for you yet" ''Oh, father. Oh, father!' 'There, there, Comfort, don't squeeze me so everlastin' close" remonstrated the old farmer. But it's sort O queer, now, ain't it, that we should both hev' selected the same hidin' place for our 1 things, eh? Like an old raven and . young un, eh?'
 And Comfort Ralston hastened joy fully to her mother to impart the glad tidings.
 Ut never would have happened, mother. if you hadn't sold the old stove! Oh, you should have seen fathers face." And ever afterward the sound of Moses Minton's dangling bells was music l in Comfort Ralston's ears.-Amy Ran. dolph, in N. Y. Ledger.

The Election.

An informal election was held last
Thursday to get the sense of the
property-holdcrs for or against the
stock law recently enacted by the
city council. 1t had been given
out that the city council would be
guided by the majority vote cast,
which tended to make the contest
quite spirited. The total vote cast
was 1917; 81 for and 50 against,
consequently the stock law will not
be repealed. Several negroes voted :
some in person and some by proxy.
The commissioners were Messrs.
Alfred Chargois and R. b. Martin.
Yesterday morning Marshal Jean
Vigneaux asked The Gazette to state
that he would begin to enforce the
law next Monday.

most last Saturday; whether bust
ness is dull or not, an auction sale
will always attract a crowd. Our

quite reputation as an auctioneer.
You should have seen him with his

popularity that made him sell his
goods SO quick, and we assure you,
he obtained his prices. One of
our merchants informed your cor

goods at higher prices than stores
in general.
Our popular townsman, Odilon
Blanchet, was married last Thurs

The ceremony quietly took place
at the Catholic church, Rev. Father
Raymond officiating. After the
ceremony the happy pair received
the many congratulations and good
wishes of friends and relatives, and
and as they took the evening train
for Galveston and other Texas CT ties,
a shower of rice and old shoes ac-
companied them. To the happy
couple we wish unlimited happiness,
a rosestrewn path through life, and
an undying love, blessed by the
holy and sacred ties that make them
one.
