About Kickers,

The kickers may not be numerous
in this town but they are lively
vigorous, persistent kickers anc
worthy of first seats in the Grand
| Order of National Kickerians. AL.
though they don't do much good to
the community Lafayette is proud
of its kickers. They are accom-
plished kickers-adepts in the art
of kicking. They are absolutely
impartial; kicking at everything re-
CARELESS of consequences. For
their benefit the following stpoem"
from the Somerville On. W Journal
is given space in our columns:
lie kicked the moment he was born
In stalwart, lusty cry.
He kicked and howled in babyhood
I'LL the neighbors thought they'd die.
lie kicked when first he went to school,
And he scratched the nurse-maid too.
he kicked on his college football team
Yes, he kicked his whole life through.
He kicked right hard in politics,
Though he didn't often vote;
And he kicked at the way the choir sang
Though he couldn't sing a note.
He kicked the bucket finally,
And nobody mourned, you bet!
But, unless his legs have been burned off.
lie is probably kicking yet.

Mr.. Louis Lacoste, one of ou1
most popular boys, and Miss Lydia
Mcdaniel, the accomplished daugh-
ter of Mr.. Ellie Mcdaniel, were
married Sunday evening at the
Catholic church at Carencro by the
Rev. Father Laforest. The cere-
mony was Witnessed by small
number of intimate friends and rela-
tives. The popularity of the young
couple and the fact that no an
nouncement had been made of the
marriage was the cause of much
surprise. Mr.. and Mrs. Lacoste
were the recipients of many hand
some presents.
