have spoken of the popularity of
slaves running away, Often these in
cidents occurred because the slaves
desired to get rest for while, but
sometimes they went off in the hope
of reaching free state and obtaining
their freedom.
A few years before the war 4 deaf
and dumb man from the Nortl, came
to Napoleon in the Parish of
Assumption, on some mission or other.
With his irrepressible slate aud pencil
he soon attracted the attention of tho
citizens so much so, that Mr.. Arthur

lower line of Napoieonville took him
to his house and entertained him for
several days. He went away and

of Mr. Foley's best slaves and as
many more from neighboriug planta-

The Center Table.

Some one recently has spoken a word
in favor of the old time center table,
and it would indeed be a coed thing
could it be restored. The very p-tsence
of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its
books suggests sociability and delightful
intercourse. The very opportunity it Of
fers for the drawing up Of many chairs
is silent invitation, and it 50 possesses
a subtle charm that is all its own. What
we most neel, i'll our modern social life
are informal gatherings where compan-
ionship can be enjoyed without the
preparation and the fuss attendant upon
a dinner or reception. And, as the
center table may properly be called a
promoter OF just such happy henes, it
would he well were it once more given
place. ce.-PhiIadelphia Ledger.

Founded in the year 1900 By the mod

chase of such books as may be necessary
for the use of congress at the said city
of Washington, this collection has
grown. Notwithstanding the rayagas Of
two fires, to the present aggregate Of
740,00 volumes. The acquisition of
the Jefferson library in 1915, the Force
Historical library i'll 1865, the Smith
sonian library in 1867 and the Toner
collection in 1882, all constituted spe-
cially important and valuable accessions
to its stores. And by the enactment Of
the copyright law of 1870, followed by
the international copyright act of 1891,
this library became entitled to receive
two copies of all books, periodicals and
other publications claiming the protec-
ton of copyright in the United States.

FOLDAHL.

Nearly two years the Foldahl cor
respondent has been silent in the
SHEAF notwithstanding that now
and then there have been happenings
that might we'll have been worth the
telling. Any excuse for my long 81
lence I shall not make. The editor
knows that small as well as large
lights in the journalistic sky have
their ups and downs, or in other
words shine periodically, hidden
occasionally by passing clouds, to
reappear again in greater brightness.
Politically the town of Foldahl has
underwent d great change during the
past year. From a populist, it has
gone over to almost a solid repub-
lican township. As to the cause of
this remarkable change I will not
discuss this time, but postpone until
we again enter into politics.
Compared with other towns Foldahl
has always had a good town goy<
ernment, with the popular A. John
son as chairman. He is a pioneer in
this town, and has been in
the lead since the town was
organized. He is a sturdy pioneer
and organizer in. every sense. I
wonder if the rising generation will
ever appreciate the work that has
been done by the older ones. With
the training and education now Off
cred the young it is easy for them to
step into the places vacated by the
older ones, but they ought always
to honor and appreciate the work OF
their elders. Little by little the
younger generation come to the
front. Your correspondent recently
made trip to town of Wright and
had occasion to call upon a young
lady teacher, daughter OF Mr.. John
Gratzek' another pioneer. In my
opinion she kept most excellent
school deserving of much praise.
1t is gratifying to see the young act
well their part in life, and become
useful to both themselves and
Others. .--4
1t looks as if the crops around
here would be very good, and ii no
damage comes to them the farmer
will be we'll repaid for his labor this
year. A hail storm passed over the
town a short tine ago. bnt it looks
now as if no damage worth mention
ing was done. At present we are
having more rain than were desir-
able, but no damage ON this score
has been done yet. CORR.
