True Wisdom.

A man may know all about the
rocks and his heart remain rs hard az
they are; Il man may know all about
the winds and be the sport Of pas
sions as they; man may know all
about the stars and his fate be
like the meteors that after brief
and brilliant career are qneDched IN
eternal night; a man may know all
about the sea and bis soul resemble
it's troubled waters which cannot
rest; a man may know bow to rule
the spirits of the elements and not
know how to rule his own;
man may know how to
turn aside the flashing thnnderbolt,
but not the wrath Of God from his
guilty head; he may know all that
La Place knows, all that Shake
speare knew, ALL that Watt knew, ali
that the greatest geniuses have
known; he may know all mysteries
and all knowledge, but if he does
not know his Bible, what shall it
avail? Itake my stand by the bed Of
a dying philosopher as we'll rs of a

Big DAY.

WIS away wnen preparations were
begun and hence could not elbow for

beg or friends and readers from
abrond not to Judge Of Thursday
here by this notice; it would require
several columns to meet the Decessi-
ties OF the occasion.
At first, ard I'LL nearly the day Oh
tue event, Shreveport's citizens seem
ed to think shat Mr.. Howard Coles
barbecue and sale of lots in West
Shreveport at public auction was but
an advertisement Of the Shreveport
Land and Investment Co., the most
wide-awake body of men who ever
come to our city, but about three
days prior to that muchly talked-of
event our people appreciated the
magnitude of Mr.. Coles efforts, and'
like they always do, went to work in
earnest A meeting was called, the
right committees were appointed and
it was resolved that a parade should
be given, representing our various
trades and industrial pursuits,
In command was Mr.. W. B.
Ogilvie, one of the most active and
enterprisiug merchants we have,
while Mr.. Leon |. Kahn. young
gentleman of education and talent,
was OK of1icio chairman of all commit
tees. MIR. f. A, Leonard, our splen
did clerk of court, always active and
energetic, was one of the lieutenants.
Mr.. Cole furnished the music, and
thus our town WAS in blaze OF ex-
element when the sun rose Ahurs-
day.
The time allowed was brief, yet one
of the finest parades ever given in
Shreveport was held. More tia
seventy vehicles were in line, and
cheers and shouts Of acclaim greeted
them along the line Of march.

For the past four or five years 1t has
been the custom of boys IN tho vicinity to
assemble in the vacant lot opening onto
Monroe street between Fifth and Sixth
streets for the purpose of playing base
ball, quoits, and other games.
The residents did not object to these
games as far as the games went, but after
awhile the practice OF swearing the throw
Ing of stones and trespassing in the i'm
mediate yards somewhat aroused the
neighbors. Recently they decided that if
the guilty ones did not desist from swear.
ing and tho other annoying practices a
complaint would be lodged with the au-
thori;ies and the law be asked to take its
course
Last evening base ball was knocked
into one of the yards adjoining the lot,
and instead Of asking for its return one
of the boys entered the yard and began
search for the lost ball. This somewhat
angercd tho occupant of the house to
which the yard belongs and he adminis-
tered u kick to the trespasser and elected
him from tho yard.
For this action he was threatened in
various ways by some members of the
gang. These annoying practices are not
confined to every member of the gang, for
there ure some that conduct themselves in
an orderly manner, bus in this case they
will have to suffer for the action of others.
After last nights occurrences the ncrxh-
bors have decided to enter complaint with
the authorities, and no more ball playing
Will be allowed in the lob unless this dis
orderly conduct is dispensed with and tho

Why Mckinley IL n Pr0terIiOnist.

First-Because having tried Free Trade,
Or Free Trade Tariff, four times since 1888,
it (Frec Tradc) has never once failed to
cause excessive imports and decreased ex-
ports, heavy loss of specie, suspension of
our manufactures, low wages and en-
forced idlGnesi Of our laborers general in
ability to pay our debts, widespread
bankruptcies, universal distress and inan-
Cal ruin.
Second-Bccausc having tried Protection
five times since 1888 it has never once
failed to cause increasing demand for
labor, high wages for our workmen, and
lower prices for their family and house
hold nccessiricS, general and growing
agricultural prosperity, varied and multi
piled industries strong development Of
our educational and benevolent institu-
tions, and an increase of national wealth
unprecedented in the history of any other
nation.
Third-Bccause the foregoing results in
each case having been uniform unfailing
and invariablc, am compelled to believe
that the said evil results arc inherent in
the Free Trade system, and that the said
good results are no less inherent in the
Protective system.
Fourth-Bccnuse these things being So
must prefer that system that brings uni
vcrsal prosperity, rather than the ono
that causes general and unavoidable ad-
vcrsity.-WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
