The Registration.

The books for the registering of
the voters of this parish will soon
be open and the citizens will be
called upon to make a new voting
list. All old lists Of voters are to
be destroyed, and the Registrar is
to start with clean sheet. Here
tofore the lists, no doubt, contain
ed the names of men who had long
lain in the graveyard, and they
were considered very convenient
to have around when u Populist,
Independent, or Republican was
to be defrauded out of an Office be
was elected to, and the will of the
majority of the people was to be
defeated. Now we suppose that
since DeSoto and other parishes,
that permitted the negro to vote in
the Democratic WHITE primaries
has found that it took about all the
emoluments of the offices to pay
for negro votes in the primaries
between Democrats, a spasm of
virtue seized the Democrats and
we have a new election law, and
are to have a brand-spank- fired
new registration. We believe we
have an honest man as registrar in
this parish, and we think that there
ought to be honest election com.
missioners appointed at every
polling place, and we hope we will
live to see one honest election in
Natchitoches parish, honestly re-
turned and in full keeping with
the spirit of the law as it appears
on its face. We want to be able
to meet the Democrats at the next
election as we would an honorable
antagonist, as one that would scorn
to take an unfair advantage. 1t is
some times a subject for ridicule
when man speaks of honesty in
politics, but such thing should
be no more odd or uncommon than
honesty in business or between in
dividuals, and we have our doubts
of the personal honesty of the man
who does not believe in political
honesty.

"You doubtless mean bucket

some little attention to your rheto-

A few moments later the professor
said: ''My dear. that picture

you were to hang it over the clock" :"
"Ah," she replied quietly, 'you
doubtless mean if | were to hang
it above the clock. If l were to

ric, my dear, your mistakes are

The Land of MAKE Believe.

1t lies in the distance dim and sweet,
On the borders of Long Ago,
And the road is worn by the little feet
! That have journeyed there to and fro ;
And though you may seek it by night or
day
The task you will never achieve,
For only the little ones know the way
To the land of make Believe"
Clad in their armor OF Faith they ride
On the wings of their fancy fleet,
And we hear, as we listen and wait out
side,
The echo of laughter swee+.
It lightens the burdens of toll we bear,
1t brightens the hearts that grieve
Till we wish we could follow and en-
ter there
In the land of snake Believe
And oh, the wonderful tales that are told
Of the marvellous sights they see
For the weak grow strong and the young
grow old.
And are each what they wish to be-
Oh, the deeds Of valor, the mighty
things
Too bold for mind to conceive! 80,
But these are everyday happenings
In the land of make Believe"
Would you follow the print of the tiny
feet?
You must walk as they, undefled,
Would you join in their fancies pure and
sweet?
You must be as little child,
Eut in vain should we seek it by night
or day,
The task we should never achieve;
For only the little ones know the way
To the land OF make Believe"

THE CHINESE SACRED LILY.
How to Cultivate and Tr.et the Bulb Sc
as to Have the Best Results.

I have grown the Chinese sacred lily
every winter for years, and each year finds
me ordering larger supply for indoor
blooming.
For the benefit of those who know
nothing about this bulb will say that 1t
may be grown either in water sand, peb-
bles or soil.
have found In years of growing that
the bulbs put in water come to growth and
bloom earlier than those grown In soil,
but l have noticed frequently that the
flowers on the water grown bulbs are more
apt to be single 1t may be 1t just hap
pens so, but 1t is generally supposed that
the manner of growth makes n difference
1t certainly Is not an infallible rule, as
have had double flowers on water grown
bulbs and vice versa.
For quick blooming choose dish perhaps
8 inches in depth and with an open top
have used a large rose bowl, but these are
too small at the top and too large and
deep to be wholly satisfactory. 1 think
glass better than porcelain. Having Sc
lected your dish, take your bulbs and place
them on layer of sand, pebbles or shells,
then pack the shells well around the bulbs
in such a way that when the strong roots
begin to push up from the bottom of the
receptacle they will not push the bulb it.

be about the only thing to be looked out
for. Water Is the chief essential to strong

ter, and it is an easy matter every morning
to fill the glasses. 1t is not necessary that
the bulbs should bo covered with water,
but it is necessary that they should be
about half submerged.
Bits of charcoal placed in the water will
keep it sweet, and little ammonia in the
water will assist in nourishing the bulb.
Last winter | grew some eight bulbs in
box, and when say eight mean eight
large bulbs, and these were surrounded by
some four or five smaller ones, so probably
there were some 80 or 40 bulbs altogether
The box was about 6 inches in depth, was
filled with good soil, and the bulbs were
more than half covered with it. They were
packed in about as closely as they could
be, room only being left through which
the water could easily run down to the
thirsty roots The box was set in a south
window in a room in which no fire was
kept, but opening off from one kept very
well warmed. The bulbs were watered
freely and frequently. The soil may he al

bulbs. Plenty of water must be supplied.
