A KNOWING DOG.

The Proper Place for tho Parrot Was
the Crazy Ward.
When DIR. ueine Marks of st Louis.
found a lean and lank grcyhoun
that had belonged to his predece isor.
The dog would not leave the building,
and, having been trained to carry a
basket, he made himself so useful
that DR.. Marks decided to let him
stay. The dog is very fond of sleep

Reilly, the dog, deve oped great dis
like for his disturber, but was at loss
to find any means of retaliation. The
attendant, whose duty it is to look
after the parrot, had taken th1 ca Sc
down and set it on the floor. Reilly
trotted in, and, after noticing that the
parrot was within his reach, stoPpe
to deliberate as to what should be the
fate of his enemy. Apparently the
greyhound concluded that he wou d
overlook past offenses and show the
bird some mercy. Reilly crawled

He had been there only few min
utes when the parrots shrill whistle
disturbed his slunbers. He jumped
up and ran around the room two or
three times before he was thoroughly
awake. Tho doors leading to the
Office were open, and the greyhound
picked up the cage and trotted off
down the corridor, while the bird
cried in loud tones ''Oh, doctorT' The
parrots screams attracted the atten-
ton of the attendant and he watched
the dog, which paid no attention, but
ran down the hall until ho reached
the ward for insane patients, when he
took the bird into a cell and set it
down.
The parrot was calling in its loudest
tones and the greyhound capered
about for awhile and then trottcd
back to the Office and went to S ee p.

Story of g Policeman Whose Humanity
OutweIshed Of1ciaI Duty.
A pathetic story of destltution,
coupled with fair example of ''man's
inhumanity to man." comes from New
Albany, Kentucky.
A few days ago a man who was re-
Gently thrown out of employment
went to the store of q wei1-known
grocer in that city and asked for 10
cents worth of meat saying that he
was out of work and none ;, but
would pay as soon as he could. He
furthermore explained that he had
several children at home who were
half-starved. The grocer refused the
credit though the man had been one
of his most reliable customers. In
passing out the door this poor creature
stole a small piece of meat, preferring
to take upon himself the stigma
of crime than see his children suffer.
The proprietor discovered the theft
and at once sent a policeman to arrest
the man. When the officer arrived at
the little home and saw the destitu-
ton that prevailed there he turned
upon his heel, and returning to the
grocer asked what was Ae value of
the stolen meat. Ten cents" replied
this ''narrow-guaged" specimen of the
higher order of the brute. The of
ficer, who at least possessed some of
the instincts of man, instantly drew
from his pocket the required dime,
and tossing it upon the counter with
contemptuous smile at the miserable
representative of modern civilization
behind it, walked out

SENATOR E. D. WHITE.

The appointment of Senator
White to the Supreme Bench of
the United States, has caused the
people of Louisiana to rejoice at
his elevation to this high position,
but at the same time it has caus-
ed some apprehension as to the
fate of sugar.
1t is the general opinion of the
sugar growers that no new Sena-
tor can command the influence
that Senator White did in the
Senate.
There are several applicants for
the Senatorship, but the impress

THE CRIMINAL TAX.

In the estimate made by the po-

probable expenses Of the parish
for the present year, We note that
the estimate for the criminal ex-
penses is made the same as last
year, when the criminal expenses
last year were Just q little less

The assessment of the parish,

say, but the amount that was paid

We object to the balance being ap-

PIONEERS OF PROGRESS.

11ON GGxSO VI WV AsAS~'
A man stood in a wildering and
saw the vision of a city inaged in
it's gloom; in the rich soil beneath
his feet he saw the CLEAN of gold.
the glitter of steel ores and I'M
couth blocks of iron; on tho dash
ing streams he saw the mill
wheels turning, and the mists that
rose from the the valleys ane over
hung the hills were transformed
into the smoke of factories, tho
wind that rumbled through the
trees was to him the roar of rail-
roads, where the live engines went
whisting by; and from the will-o-
wisps that reeded through the
summer dark he fashioned the
electric lamps that were to give the
city light In everything around
him he found promises Of pro-
gress and improvement, and so he
drove his stakes, and pitched his
tent and went to work upon the
basis of his faith.
The sound of his hammer, ring

foundations of his city, were heard
afar and men were attracted by
the sounds. They Aocked around
him; many scoffed and ridiculed

ways again; but few remained to
share his folly or his fortune;
they saw the city in the same
bright vision which had gladden.

From the above We point this
moral: If the people of this par

blossom to beautiful fruition; il
the people of the town blaze the
way, as they are doing now, their
sturdy strokes will sound abroad
and capital will come and give en-
enlargement to labor. We have

ing the way. 1t will not be long
before capital will cast her eyes
on this favored spot, and join
faith in the upbuilding and de.
velopment of our manifold re-
sources. and eventually make thi:
the most prosperous spot in south
