ALL KNOW 1T.

The Southern Hardware Company is King.
Our people throughout the regions
of Texas, Arkansas and our own
State, Louisiana, are requested to
make an examination of our stock of
goods and have the prices named,
that they may judge for themselves
whether we are entitled to the name
given us of being the leading hard
ware house OF North Louisiana, made
SO by selling the highest quality of
goods for the least money.
For ourselves we make no boast.
All those who have ever traded with
us do our talking better than we can;
we will say, however, that those who
may need hardware, agricultural i'm
plements, gins, saws, engines, boilers,
mechanics tools, etc, come to
The SOUTHERN HARDWARE COMPANY.

But what shall be learned from all this
season of disaster? 1t was but yesterday
lie gave utterance TO the statement that
the disasters through which our peorie
nave just passed, costly as they have BEEN
II from them there should be gathered suf-
hcient wisdom to avoid, in the future, the
errors which brought them upon US. The

some lessons from ii all. i am sure some

had they kept in mind. in times of great
prosperity, the necessity of so banking as
to be prepared for times of financial Strin-
gency. Competition for business is carried
to the danger point by many, and the de-
sire to secure large business has led TO
the taking of risks not consistent with
weakness has been the fact that to too
large an extent has been carried the paper
OF those engaged in purely SPECULATIVE
best. largely fictitious, and in times of
great depression is worthless; and when to
this is coupled the further fact that there
is too little tendency the part of banks
to distribute their loans and too great de-
sire to place them with large corporations.
the reason is not wanting for many suspen-
sions and not few failures. 1t is a source
of constant complaint on the part of the
national banks that IL Is unreasonable 10
hamper them by limiting their loans to 10
per cent. of the amount of their capital

have demonstrated the wisdom of that pro-

that a more strict adherence to it would
make the banks stronger instead OF weaker
when threatened by financial panic. No
section of law is so frequently violated and
In none is there SO great safety for careful
banking.
'In conclusion, Mr.. President, let me say
that the greatest safeguard to the banking

A WUMAN'o MAD LOVE.

rinG'ou ," ~uiCid-.
New YORK, Dec. 3l.-A strange story
of one woman's love for another came to
light this morning, when Mrs. Eta
Harrington, handsome woman of 80
years, tried TO kill herself at her home,
IS One Hundred and Thirty-ffth Street.
this city. She shot herself in the left
breast, and is now in the Harlem Hos
pltal dying. Her father is John
Haynes, president of the Ma
tional and Mutual Insurance Com
pany, of Ionkers, \. y, and
her husband, with whom she
has not lived for several years, Frank
I. Harrington, of Louisville, Ky, Il
travelling salesman. The cause of separa
ton of the couple, as told by Mr..
Haynes, may be laid al the door of Miss
Sadie Carson, q member of the Harlem
Young Woman's Christian Association.
She is about 80 years old and quite
comely.
Mr.. Haynes said that about ten years
ago his daughter became acquainted
with her husband, and about five years
ago they were married. A year after
their marriage Miss Carson met his
daughter and they became fast friends.
Miss Carson then took up her home
with the HarrlngtOns. Mr.. Harrington
soon began to realize that Miss Carson
exercised a wonderful influence over
his wife and demanded that she be sent
away, put his wife would not have
Il so. For two years matters ran
along in this way, Mr.. Harrington
beng away from home most
of the time. On returning home from
trip about two years ago he made
final demand that the woman should
leave his home, and on the refusal of
his wife to send her away, they sepa-
rated.
The home was broken up and Miss
Carson and Mrs. Harrington began
house keeping together. For q year
Mr.. HAYNES SAYS his daughter WAS pow
erIess in the hands of the Carson
woman. All the money he gave her
went for presents, he says, to the
object of her inlatuation. Finally,
about last July, the two quarreled, and
Mrs. harrington returned to the home
of her parents. She was lOW-splrlted
and melancholy. After short STAY at
home she tried to make up with Miss
Carson, but the latter would have moth
ing to do with her.
Christmas Day Mrs. Harrington sent
Miss Carson gold watch, but received
no Acknowledgement of the present.
She again became melancholy, and last
evening told her father she WAS going
to kill the woman. She went to the
Young Woman's Christian Association
rooms last evening apparently resolved
to carry out her threat. She returned
home early, however, much detected,
and shortly after midnight fred the
shot that may end her own exstea nee.
