We are wondering whether the
editor of the Messenger will ever
learn to respect the will of the De-
mocrats of this parish, most posi-
lively spoken out OH the first of
December last; whether he ina
gines that by his insinuating re-
marks he can influence or affect
any body; whether he is favorable
to and will support the State De-

support VIM. B. Eastin for Clerk
of Court, and David Rees for
Sheriff, at the next election? whe.
Their more faithful, efficient and
honest men can be found in any

1t is said that the extempore playing
Of the great Beethoven was marvellous,
but he was entirely without the GOODNESS
and self possession required by per-
former who wishes TO render written
compositions with accuracy and finish.
The same fault was found with his
conducting the orchestra; even before
his deafness he often confused the play
ers by his sudden gestures.
At one time he was playing one Of his
own beautiful concertos for piano and
orchestra. During long passage by the
orchestra, while the piano was silent,
he forgot his position and fancying him
self conductor for the moment he threw
out his arms at a certain chord, knock
ing both the candles Off the piano.
They were picked up, but when the
passage was repeated and the loud chord
REQUIRED he forgot himself again, and the
accident happened for the second time.
The audience, in spite of their great
admiration and respect for the master
musician, were convulsed with merri.
ment, which SO disguised Beethoven
that several strings of the unoffending
piano suffered the consequences of his
irritation. which expended itself In a
prodigious humping of the keys.

ical Development.
In his article on "The Best Thing In
the World" Rev. Charles Fl. Park
hurst, D. D., in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, discusses with forceful emphasis
physical development, and lends point
to his argument by scintillating cpl
grams, some of which are here given:
"Asceticism and debauchery are COM
panion branches sprung from one stalk.
Fidelity to physical conditions is
the first thing for a man to think OF
who has any ambition to be personal
success, and not only the first thing for
him to think of, but the thing for him
to seriously continue thinking of.
"Those various anomalies of intellect
classed under the general term of in
sanity have their grounds in some alb
normal condition of the physical organ
ism.
"Climb high as we like our ladder
will still require to rest ON the ground,
and it is probable that the keenest in.

could be carried SO far, be discovered to
have its connection with the rather ma
terial affair that we know as the body.
sit is an interesting fact that all OF
those to whom Christ made his revela-

Waxs Of the Moose.

Ambrose seemed to know great deal
about moose, after all. He told the boys
how, back from the narrow valley and
the swift, winding stream, the country
was all wilderness, hillsides clad
with birchss, naples and evergreens,
and resting at their feet little lakes. SO
numerous that no man knew how many
there were. Often, where these lakes
were shallow, the yellow pond lily
with its oval leaves crowded the sur
face. At other seasons the tender bark of
mountain ashes and moosewoods are the
favorite food of the moose, but now
there is nothing he likes SO we'll as the
long tubular roots Of the lily. In the very
early mornings, and in the evenings,
about the time of the harvest moon
the full moon nearest Sept. ala hol-
low sound. not unlike the sound Of dis
tant chopping, may be heard. 1t is the
sound Of moose calling to their mates
or the angry challenge Of fierce rivals.
It Is this sound which the hunter imi-
tates to attract the moose. But there
are only few places where the moose
will answer, shallow spots in certain
we'll known lakes, and 1t is said to be
nearly useless to call anyw nore else -

THE eoopLY SWORD.
The Egyptians Gave It the Name Eff
Centuries Ago.

The Egyptians Gave 1t the Name Fifty
Centuries Ago.
Half hundred centuries ago the
Egyptians gave to the sword its name.
Since those old days the history of the
trenchant blade, stained with blood and
defaced by the scars of battle though it
is, holds much of the glory, the poetry
and the chivalry of the cruel game Of
war.
A friend whose fidelity never wavered
and whose power never failed, it is not
surprising that men endowed the sword
not only with human attributes, but
with the might and majesty of the gods
themselves. The old legends abound in
tales of its magical powers. How the
divine armorers strove continually to
excel some rival in the forging Of
blade of temper SO delicate that 1t
might cut a thread with the same ease
with which it struck head froi;: she
body, or hewed through heavy metal
armor, was favorite subject of the old
Teutonic and viking tales.
These legendary blades bore charac-
teristic names, by which they were in
variably known: Graysteel, Wader
Through Sorrow and Milestone Bitter
were swords Of wide renown, and we
all remember how Arthur Of the Round
Table took "Excalibur, the sword that
rose from out the bosom of the lake. !"
Caesars sword was called Crocca Mors
Charlemagne's Joyeuse played no small
part in the setting up of the great Frank
ish empire. Many bold captain went
down before Ell Tizona, welded by the
relentless hand of the Cid.
The Japanese, whose civilization was
old before ours began, have produced
beautiful examples of the swordmaker' y
art The Japanese nobleman carried his
swords as the insignia of his rank. He
wore one on each side, thrust into the
folds of his sash.
These swords have been handed down
as heirlooms from father to son, and it
was not unusual for families Of ancient
lineage to have as many as 1000 OF
them-marvels of costly and artistic
workmanship-in their possession. The
scabbards are richly lacquered and
bound about with silken cord In a
curious pattern. The blade is curved,
and the round guard is pierced to car
~ q small dagger. This guard, called
O tsuba, is decorated with curious de-
signs, and so great is the ingenuity OF
the Japanese metal workers that among
the thousands of swords they have pro-
duced it is impossible to find two guards
exactly alike. They are priced SO highly
by collectors that large sums Of money
have been paid frequently for an an
tique sword, only that it might be ruth
lessly torn apart to secure the guard
