THE AGE OF LAUGHTER.

Smiling broadly runs me age.
Comedy's the only play;
Wit and poet. youth and sage,
Want to be SURPRISING. gay.
Let the tragics have their say
Grinning farce is what wer're after.
Tragedies have had their day:
All the world is hunting laughter.
Tartuffe's time is on the rage
And expurgated Rabelais

Drag on your chestnuts by the dray.
Heavy or light they'll freely sway
The roaring house from pit to rafter,
This is truth: For mirth will pay

About Immigration.

Our people have never had a more
favorable time in which to push the
immigration movement. Not only
should the great exodus from the
West, with its complement Of dissat-
isfaction among those who remain lie
taken advantage of, but the matter
Of reduced rates in railroad fare
should be taken advantage OF while
the officials are ia the mind to unite
with Us. Mr. +. ". LaBaume. gen
eral passenger and ticket agent #
the Cotton Belt" road. was in Shreve-
port recently, and held quite an ex-
tended interview with a number of
us interested in immigration. and he
expressed himself as being anxious
to assist us when we showed that we
MEANT business. In fact he made
propositions which were exceedingly
eXhilarating and became enthused.
He is perfectly willing to give CON
siderably reduced rates on his road
and secure same reduction from
others Besides these he is willing to
pay part Of the cost of printing our
literature and to have the same dis
tributed free. He only asks that our
people show their desire TO secure
immigration by getting to work.
Bossier parish has already gone
ahead and put her association or land
company on practical basis. She
has men at the head of it who will
accept Mr.. LaBaume's proposition,
because they have gone to work in a
practical, business-ike way, have or
ganized big land company and will
reap a rich reward.
What will Caddo do She has
thousands of acres of land subject to
homestead entry, besides hundreds
owned by private individuals which
can be purchased at small cost. VIII
she remain asleep?
What will DeSoto do in the way of
bringing new blood into her agricul-
tural body? And her neighbor Sabine
parish' both can offer fine induce
ments to home seekers.
Now is the harvest time in this line
and the town or parish which fails to
reap while the sun shines, will find it
is useless to do so later on.
