TWO YOUNGSTERS

Mabel, who is years old, is learning
proverbs. The other day her mother
heard her saying this: "Touch not,
taste not, toss the cake and drink"
After much wonder as to what the lit
tie girl had got hold of, it dawned on
the mother at last that the original
was: "Touch not, taste not intoxicat-
ing drinks"
A young sister of Mabel, Hazel. aged
7, on her way home from school, saw
an old woman who seems to have filled
the child with loathing, for when she
came in she told about seeing the
woman, and inquired anxiously il she
should look like that when she was
old. "No," answered her mother.
Hazel was not satisfied, and asked if
her mother was sure. Assured again,
but still in doubt, the child said:

1T WAS JEFF. DAVIS

Captain Guy Dreux of New Orleans
commanded during the war company
of cavalry, whose me bers were from
the Fourth District of this city and the
Parish of Jefferson. They were con-
sidered a crack company, and because
of their intelligence and reliability had
been specially assigned for duty at
headquarters as couriers and an escort
to the commanding general. Among
their number was Private Zach Dowty,
genial, open-hearted, harum-scarum
fellow, who was the life of the camp,
foremost in all schemes of fun, and al
ways ready for duty. He was favorite
with his comrades and had the conf
dence of his officers.
One bright morning Zach found him
self on duty at General Albert Sidney
Johnston's headquarters as courier Of
that day. The moments Of dull routine
hung heavily upon his hands, and he
sought to enliven his time by repairing
his saddle and other cavalry equip
ments. While seated, thus occupied,
he heard the approach of footsteps, and
saw through the corner of his eye what
appeared to him to be well-to-do Ten
nessee farmer, dressed in quiet suit
of gray, and wearing a broad brimmed
SLOUGH hat. He gave no heed to the
stranger, who stopped within few feet
of him, and inquired for the headquart-
ers of General Johnston.
After short interval of silence, which
Zach devoted to Juggling away at the
straps of his saddle, without deigning
to look the stranger, he rather gruffiy
answered: "Here they are" At this
the stranger quietly asked whether
General Johnston was in, but getting
no answer from Zach, who had become
worried at some portion OF his work
that was too much for his skill as a
saddler, he repeated his question in a
louder tone. Thereupon Zach some
what testify replied: "Yes, but you
can't see him."
During all this time Zach had not
deigned to look at the stranger, but had
given his whole attention to the work
he had in hand. Another brief pause
followed these words of Zach, who was
suddenly startled on hearing the
stranger say in unruffied tones. yet in
a voice of command: "Courier, tell
General Johnston that President Davis
desires to see him." Zach looked up
quickly at the stranger, and felt as
though he had been struck by a thunder
bolt, when he saw that the visitor was
the President himself. "Yes, sir; yes,
sir" quickly replied Zach. "This way,

him, he announced to the OF
f1cer in waiting the approach
of President Davis, and then hurried
out by the nearest exit. He was much
affected by the rude reception he had
given to the President, and by his
fragrant breach of military discipline,
and thought best to keep out of sight,
not knowing what might he the out
come of his conduct. He therefore re-
paired at once to Captain Dreux and
played off sick, 30 as to have some one
else detailed to take his place on duty.
He was careful to avoid coming within
reach OF the Presidents eye, and felt
much relieved when that distinguished
gentleman took his departure.-New

UsR GERMAN FAMILY SOAP.
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1895-11-23

A Texas editor in country paper
thus enlightens the dancing world:
The girl who INDUCES in the dizzy
waltz will hear with interest that the
heads at Washington and New York
society have decided that sesitting
out" a waltz next winter will be
more fashionable than dancing.
The ''sitting out" embodies the
same position as dancine-the only
difference is you sit instead of dan
cling. The mans right arm is
around the girls waist while her
left hand is placed lovingly on his
left shoulder and all you have to
do IS to listen to the music. Now
that is something like it. 1t is al
ways nuisance 70 have to gallop a
mile or two to get little hug or
two. A room full of people sitting
on sofas hugging to music is
more to our notion.

THE AGR/CUZ TURAL CON-
YENZTON. 50

! From a special from Baton Rouge
to the Times-Democrat, it is learned
that State Commissioner of Agri-
! culture A. v. Carter has issued a
circular letter to the Police Juries OF
the different parishes Of the State,
requesting that at least two dele
gates be appointed from each par
ish to meet and form a part Of the
State Agricultural Society, which
convenes in this city on the fourth
Wednesday in January next.
Mr.. Carter says that this associa-
ton is doing much good for the
State. 1t affords a means of bring
ing together the cotton and rice
planters and the rice and cotton
producers, who attend the annual
meeting, and are given, an oppor-
tunity to intelligently discuss the
methods that best subserve the in
terests of agriculture. At these
meetings there is free exchange of
views which adds no little to the de-
velopment of the agricultural re-
sources of the State. Mr.. Carter
is of the opinion that yearly gather
ings of the farmers and planters are
instructive not only from an agri-
cultural standpoint, but tend to
make the people more united in
their efforts to develop the manifold
resources of Louisiana, and are Gre
ating a pride of citizenship hereto
fore almost unknown. He further
expresses the opinion that the State
should lend its aid and assistance by
small appropriation to de-
fray the railroad expenses of duly
accredited delegates to these annual
meetings, as all such meetings are
purely agricultural and absolutely
free from any factional or political
feeling, having but one object in
'iew-the development of the agri-
interests of the State. Com
missioner Carter speaks enthusiast
ically of the agricultural outlook
md predicts a bright and prosper
,us future for Louisiana.
