GOVERNOR FOSTER.

Last MOnudy MuiP ""
WAS for the second time, inaugu-
rated Governor of the State OF
Louisiana. and for the second
time he is accused of having as
cended to this high position OF
honor, by fraudulent and corrupt
means. Twice elevated to the
highest position within the gll'
of the people of the State OF Lou
isiana, and both times the serious
accusation of fraud and corrup-
ton is heaped upon the head OF
the chief executive of our state.
What sad and serious comment
ary, what disgrace and dlshonor
to the Governor and to the intelli-
pence of a great state, to be con-
stantly pointed at by the finger OF
acorn and contempt, with stand
ing accusation of fraud and cor
ruption.
The Legislature and the Democra,
CIV of Louisiana should have sifteo
this serious accusation, they should
have investigated every accuse.
ton of fraud and corruption and
proclaim to the world the result
of such an investigation, and con
denim or vindicate the accused.
But alas! the dickering, the bar
gains, and perhaps the buying Of
Legislators to prevent a thorough
investigation of the serious char
ges, is a confession of guilt, ant
even the most ardent admirers Of
Governor Foster looked upon his
Inauguration with suspicion, ano
may even admit that the crosses
frauds were practiced, and tina
Governor Foster was only declar
ed elected, and counted in b!
fraudulent and corrupt means.
The Legislature has failed t.
perform a sacred duty, that of in
vestigating the returns for Cover
nor and Lieutenant Governor, ant
those Legislators who have votet
against an investigation, have par
ticipated in seating an officer il
the highest position in the state
who was declared elected by lille
gal means.
We are pleased to note that Sc
nator Martin of this district ha
cast his vote in favor of a tho
rough investigation, and hi
course is approved by his consti
tuents. He was elected on a plat
form of reform, and stood to hi
trust.

HOW PUPPY DID HousEwoRK.
By Olive Heyden

Such busy dog was he. Hours were
spent by him in scamperlng up ana
down through the basement-"taklng
walk, we called it. Sometimes when we
had company terrible racket would take
place under the parlor, and We were forced
to explain that it was only 'puppy" sweep
ing the floor of the basement. Then the
company would be puzzled. How could
dog sweep? Well, this was how. He had
an ole broom down there and when ne
| took the notion he would catch the handle
in his teeth and drag the broom up ana
down, up and down. He seemed to enjoy
this ever so much, and did It every day,
so we said: ''Of course he's sweeping his
house"
Then there was the fur rug that he slept
on. Every day the sun shone bright our
funny little doggle would drag the rug
out into the yard and shake and shake IL
till the fur just flew. Then he'd spread it
in the sun. ALI day long he would leave
1t and at night carry it back into his box
Now, don't you think we were right when
We said he aired and made his own bedP
He piled up his dishes, too. Alice was
not very careful about bringing up the
plates on which his meals were served, so
often he had three or four down there be-
sides his drinking pan. The funny little
! fellow would pile them all up, and usually
ended by tipping his drinking-water over
them. II he had had few lessons am
sure he could really have been dish
washer.
l had a great tine kee ping the clothes
out of his way on wash days. He wanted
to carry them all upstairs. I'd miss
stocking and maybe it would be found up
on the porch, or if the door was open it
would be sure to be in the kitchen. But
must save the rest of Puppy's work for
| new story.

FLY
By Henry c. Ghabott.

The sun shone his brightest and the
earth seemed to be crowned with his
golden beams. Over the calm ocean, IS
vast expanse OF water gently gliied tiny
Nautilus. Its dainty white sail was
spread forth to catch each gentle zephyr
as it sped onward toward the setting sun.
Now, there chanced to be near by little
Fly, weary OF wing and almost helpless.
who, when 1t saw the Nautilus, family
called out, ooh, fair creature of the sea,
with sail like snowflake on the breast of
the ocean, behold me here. weary and
alone; take me in to your tiny boat or
soon I shall perish" NAY, poor little
Fly" the Nautilus said; task me not
what [ dare not do, yet hate to refuse.
Oh, If you but knew the reason why! /

you-to a land beauteous and great, where
the breeZes are sweet as perfumes of the

forests; where great spreading trees grow
to their loftiest heights, whose every leaf
shelters fairy, and where little birds fly

me so hear.lessly away when your boat
might be refuge for meP have trav-
eled far and am so fatigued that soon the
jaws of the mighty ocean must close upon
me-" ''Come aboard, then" said the
Nautilus, who was deeply affected by this
piteous appeal, ''but move not after you
alight, for if you do then evermore am
doomed to sail these mighty waters alone !"
The poor Fly weary and painting for
breath, slowly few down to the little craft
and sank exhausted upon its deck. After
recovering his strength he said to the
Nautilus: MAY hear your story and the

NOW the owner of the castle was really
wicked smuggler, but his lovely wife
was in ignorance of his true character and
was as pure and good as she was beautiful.
Zone day the Spaniard bade his wife a
loving farewell, telling her he mad to go
away from her on long journey. Tears
sprang to her eyes and she begged to be
allowed to accompany him. He paid no
attention to her pleading, for he feared il
she Travelled with him she might find out
the dreadful truth and refuse to live with
him any longer.
$50 he started alone-away across the
ocean to little island, where in a cave he
had hidden his ill-gotten treasures.
AFTER a weary time of waiting for the
young woman he returned with many
rich gifts for his loved one, who greeted
him with such innocent alee that he shud-
dered as he thought how her love would
turn to hatred if she knew the truth, and
he became furiousowith a tumult of angry
passions at the very sight of her purity.
'.She must never know that the hand
she fondly kissed was the hand of ro bber
and murderer!
"The only way to prevent this was to
sacrifice her life. On the very night of
this return he took her to that dark room
behind you, Alice, and soon she was a
corpse"
ugh" cried Alice, "you horrid boyp
as she changed her seat to one facing the
dreadful door.
Years afterward a party of tourists
found her bones. and so the story goes
that every night when the old clock in the
village strikes the hour of midnight a
beautiful young woman dressed in white
is seen to swiftly glide past these windows
into the darkened room, and then they
say that means and doleful sighs fill the
air until break of day."
With these words Harry looked eau
tiously around as if he expected the ap-
partition to appear at any moment.
1--WE heard better story about it than
that" remarked Phil Barker, little jeal-
GUS of the admiring glances cast on Harry
by the girls, when he had finished his
sensational story.
'Oh, let's hear it !" they cried all at once.

your snowy sail, and you, my beloved
sister, have saved your brothers life."
As the sun was sinking in the west and
the sea and sky were like molten gold,
with a faint tinge of pink, like the blush
of some timid maid, fair white Nautilus
and Fly landed on beautiful shore.
But as soon as the boat touched the land
the Nautilus was instantly transformed
into princess and the Fly into prince.
Her face was fair and her robes were of
the color of gold. The prince drew her
dainty hand through his arm and to-
gether they walked toward magnificent
castle. The sea whispered softly that they
had come 1t had borne the fairy prince
and princess safely home. The wind then
took the joyful message and carried 1t to
the furthermost ends of the land. Myriads
of fairies few to greet them and gorgeous
butterflies caught them UP and bore them
to their beloved home. The birds all
joined in happy song of welcome, and
