The Pearly Gates Ajar.

An ancient legend says that the angel
on guard at the door Of heaven was once
asked by an inquisitive passer If more
married or more single women passed
through.
"More married ones" he promptly an
swered.
"Indeedr' said the questioner, who was
q man, and who Immediately began to
plume himself. "Their husbands vir-
tues of course admitted them. That was
right. The stronger should aid the
weaker"
''No," replied the angel, that is not
the reason"
"Then what is itp"
"Well, If you must know" said the
angel confidentially, 1--WE pass them first
on their own merits. Lots of 'em get
through that way. Then, when we can't
find any other recommendation for a
married woman, it is writ against her
name, These are they which have come
up out of great tribulation.' and the
gates fly OPEN"

chance. Will you.lead us to where the
royalist soldiers are?"
Gloria raised her beautiful eyes to the
mans face, eyes that at this moment
were more angelic than human. and
without faltering said in low voice:
"No, senor."
"You little devilr' roared the man,
now possessed of an uncomfortable fury,
"Pll teach you to fool me like this. Pull
her down from the horse. bring some
strong rope and bind her hands and
feetw he shouted to his men.
There are no crueler or bloodier wars
than those waged between brothers, and
in this Carlist war both parties COM
mitted some acts that make those who
hear Of them wonder If the wretches
who were guilty of those atrocities were
human beings or wild beasts.
Pale as death and trembling lay poor
Gloria at the feet of this human tiger.
Her lips moved. Perhaps she was re-
peating the prayers taught her by her
mother. Still not tear dimmed the soft
luster of her eyes.
''Do you see that precipice? 1t is very
deep. If you do not tell me, will throw
you over there. tied hand and foot as you
are now. You will die horrible death.
Only one thing will save you. Now tell
me where the enemy is camped."
81 cannot, senor."
There was wild cry that the Carlist
officer would hear until the day of his
death, and then, after few minutes of
complete silence, the captain gave the
order to march forward to find camp
for the night. Not for the world would
he have passed the night there.
Five hundred feet below the setting
sun lighted a dark, motionless mass by
the side of little mountain stream flow
ing and murmuring over the smooth
pebbles, as if singing hymn in honor
of the heroic Gloria.
In the little village church of Saldana
there is small marble stone with the
name of Gloria Alvarez, on which is re-
corded the deed by which she saved the
royalist detachment. And when the
stranger exclaims, in admiration of her
courage, "She was wonderful childr

story to the visitors, interrupts with con-
viction, "She was no child, senior; she
was one of Gods own angels!"-Amalia

Stage Love Versus Real Love.

Does stage love impair real love?-Bostor
Globe.
We cannot say for sure, but we guess
not, or anyhow not always. Perhaps, in
truth, real love and stage love are often
of the same essence, of like substance, of
similar quality, and closely akin to each
other. Indeed, for all we can say, the
resemblance between them may be
marked, or even very marked. Ask the
younger Dumas or M. Pierre Lott or Mr..
Robert L. Stevenson or, in case all those
persons have gone out, ask the well in
formed Mr.. William D. Howells of this
place, who rarely ever goes out. except
to collect the proceeds Of his copyright
from the publishers Of his novels. We
are unable to say whether Professor
Helmholtz, the German chemist now in
this country, Who is man Of analysis
and apprehension, could throw any light
on the subject. But we can tell the Bos-
ton Globe that it is very foolish in put
ting its question about stage love and
real love to stage lovers and real lovers,
az it has vainly done. The question is

Governor Cleaves' Speech:
We come to extend a hearty greeting
to the sons and daughters Of Maine and
her invited guests, who have honored us
with their presence. In the name of a
great commonwealth welcome you to all
the hospitality of this home, constructed
and built from the materials of her ex-
haustless mines and forests, furnished and
fitted with many OF the products Of her
varied manufactures indicating the great
natural wealth and progress of one Of the
most prosperous states in the American
Union.
We bring to this wonderful and mag
niheent city of Chicago. to this great and
patriotic state OF Illinois, and to the noble
sons and daughters Of Maine throughout
the west, the cordial and generous greeting
OF every citizen of the old Pine Tree State.
Maine is not Indifferent to the success
OF her sons and daughters who have
founded homes beyond her borders. and
she behoIds with pride their achievements
and their prominence in shaping the al.
fairs and destinies of other states. The
mighty mfr snce and power they havs ex-
erted is high and lasting tributs to the
social and educational advantages of our
state and to it's institutions

GOVERNOR CLEAvES.
Wherever we have seen the sons of
Maine in the past, whether upon the
battlefield or in the forum, whether en-
gagged in the arts and sciences or in the
busy marss of trade, they have always
honored their native state. And the fame
and accomplishments of her daughters are
not circumscribed by the boundaries of
our own country, but have gained merited
Recognition Ia Foreign Lands.
while we exult in their success, all
will today mingle their congratulations
with ours, that the good old mother state,
true to her motto, is moving forward with
wonderful progress. The restless and
sweeping tide Of emigration, carrying in
its movement many of the accomplished,
earnest and energetic young men and
women of the state, has practically ceased.
Natures great storehouss of industrial
wealth within our borders has been opened

Maine is no longer shipping away her
natural wealth as unfinished material, but
she is adding her labor and skill, and send

granite and slate from the quarries, her
wealth from the mountains and the hills,
and with her skilled labor creating COM

No Blanks Ina This Competition.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful Que merely selling his
for the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best adj
vantage is to be rewarded for doingxit. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-one that will com
mand it's value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to inn
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa
pers of The United States.

EDITOR COURIER:
So far this season our farmers and planters
have been blessed with reasonably fair
weather for the cultivation of their crops,
only at one or two periods since early. spring
have heavy rains deNyed field work for a
longer time than a few days. To-day farm
work is we'll advanced, cotton is growing and

You farmers, st. Landry, have excellent
crops corn, cotton, and gardens are all very
promising.
1t is very pleasing to note thai the COURIER
sees the advantage of q central sugar factory
at Opelousas. Permit me to offer a word Of
encouragement by saying: That IL factory
of the largest capacity would in a few years
find all the cane possible for it to work,
grown within a few miles of Opelousas.
Again, factories do more to encourage and
build up town and country than any one
thing else.
The fruit crop is fortunately a very fair one
this year. Blackberries are very abundant,
Of excellent quality. Peaches and figs are
promising and will soon be abundant.
The gardens on the B9u are among the
best we have seen for years. A large crop OF
potatoes has been made. Sweet potatoes
planted, etc.
