w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts tbs therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all rep
utable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, -
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

For the past week we have been list
ening to the jokes of the soldier boys
since their return home from Lake
Charles. Some of them are pretty
good. One IN particular was stealing
the blank cartridges. One ofthe boys
told US that at one Of the railroad
stations he poked his gun out of the
car window and banged away very
largo size lady, probably about 200
pounds in weight, was his target. He
says at the report of the gun she fell
backwards, and for little while he
thought he had put in sure enough
bullet. Another time, two men were
walking on the track about hundred
yards from the car when he fired. he
said he never saw such running IN all
bis life that these fellows did TO get be-
hind trees; but when they struck the
Mississippi river one Of the smart
Alces thought be would try his fun on
a landing keeper, and be let go his
gun, when the landing keeper pulled
out his pistol and fred two shots At
him. they say Il was fun to see this
soldier boy getting in the cabin Of the
boat.

We learn this week that several
prominent gentlemen of our parish
have gone in together and will erect
telephone line from town to the
Keene store in the second ward, and
from Town up to Ashton, near the
Arkansas line. We are told that the
second ward already has line from
the Keene store TO Henderson landing,
and all that would have to be put up
would be between town and. Keene's
store TO give us communication with
the first and second ward. The line
from our town to Ashton could be
erected with little cost and would be
of great benefit.
We hope that those who have taken
the matter in hand will push ii
through. There is no telling the bene-
fit a telephone line in our parish
would be. In case of high water it
would be the very thing, besides 1t
would save many trip to those who
otherwise would have to come to
town, or those who would have to go
from town to the country. We hope
to see the line in working order in the
near future.

piece of finely woven linen, and laid
it into a cedar chest, putting with it
faint, sweet scented sprigs of old time
lavender. Then kneeling down beside

heart for the child she would rather
far have had lying before her calm

years of their quiet, monotonous lives,

Late at night, in the month OF May,
1866, the moon is hidden by clouds,
the Mississippi river is dark and tur-
bulent. The black hulk of the little
schooner Spy. losses like a toy ship on
the waves, single yellow torchlight
flares from the mast. Aboard the deck
are some dozen men, rough, drunken,
boisterous. On either side of the
mighty. swollen stream they see only

The boat gives a lurch as it strikes
the mud, the Epirates cease singing;
they carry load from the deck. 1t is a
long box of black iron, and four men
stagger beneath its weight. Landing
it safely on shore, they tie the boat and
proceed to spot some twenty feet
from the waters edge. Four small
trees are so covered by the wild grape
vine they form the posts of summer
house. Reaching their rendezvous,
the pirates fall back. Only Bunch
and his wife enter the enclosure OF
vines. The dark cruel eyes of the man
look defiantly around the forest, the
eyes of Conscience Cloyce glance
timidly first into the face of her hus-
band, then into the tangled brushwood.
The moon comes from behind the

and sheds a weird radiance over
the scene. Captain Bunch proceeds
nosiessly to bury The treasury. An
arrow whizes thro' the undergFowth.
CONSCIENCE Cloyce falls, and the blood
streams from her heart. Raising bis

through the dim half light OF the forest,
He reaches for his pistol but before he
can use it. he is felled by tomahawk.

Upon thinking the matter over care
fully, Aunt Martha found Matilda was
right, and she shouldered the whole
blame, and was fureher Inundated by
having to make due acknowledgment to
the girl, who, in the depth of her sense
of wronged innocence, was saturating
her apron with tears. After fully atom
ing for her injustice Aunt Martha left
the kitchen to Matilda, with the assur-
ance that she would trust everything to
her in the future.
The soothing hand of time gradually
