IT STOPPED HIS WILING.

Grumper isn't his name, but it will
serve. He's a big man with Il big
voice, big appetite, big heart, big
bank account, and rather a big opin-
ion of himself. He belongs to that
extensive class that come in from the
country, begin in a small way and
push along till they are among the
leaders in their respective callings. 1t
1t is not since he married a dainty
little woman, whose chief aim ia 10
please him. Fol- weeks, day by day,
he registered the familiar old com
plant that no cooking tasted az good
as his mothers used to. Mrs. Grum
per was SO anxious to please him and
removed this cause of complaint that
that she roasted, fried, stewed and
broiled herself in the kitchen, but
Grnmper eve ceased to yearn for
''mother's c~ooking.n
One day a plain but CHEEKY old lady
appeared at G%rumper's front door.
She vas the mother and had come a
long way just to see her boy once
more and give him a surprise. He
would not be home till evening, and
his little wife enticed the old lady in
to the cooking department, determin-
ed that he should at least be made
happy. The mother used plenty oil
grease. made plenty of smudge and
felt more at home than she would
have been in the parlor. She was in
duced to remain in her room unit
the meal was we'll under way to see
if Grumper did not recognize the food
IA prepared by her hands. He snitfed
the air of the dining room and there
was an unpleasant look on his face.
He scanned the table and the look
deepened. He tried a few dishes,
laid aside his knife and fork, turned
to his wife and declared that he could
stand 1t no longer. He had hoped
that she would learn, but this was hy
all odds the worst yet. He would

Our advice to our people is to keep
an eye on all city Or country mel

soon as they struck the first bridge
just at the upper corporation limits
they came to grief. There some mis-
ereant had profusely strewn the bridge
with t~reacherous tacks which literally
p%unctured the tires OF three of the
wheels. Boutarie's wheel was SO bad
ly injured that he had to stay over.
while the other two boys managed to
SO patch up their wheels as to labori-
ously make the return trip that same
night.
We hope the good people of Houma

same manner as any other individual.
The liberty of the press is no more un-
der the protection of the Constitution
than the liberty of speech and news
paper is to be judged, if it commits
a wrong. by the same rule exactly
that an individual should be judged by
if he commits a wrong.
There was a large number of other
charges to the same general effect.
On the request of the defendants he
charged them among other things that
all the papers, documents and evidence,
except the articles marked plaintiff $
exhibit A. containing the supposed Ii
bel, offered by plaintiff, were admitted
as evidence tending to prove express
malice or malice in fact on the part of
the defendants toward the plaintiff in
the publication of the supposed libel,
and for no other object, and, therefore,
the jury could not under any circum-
stances consider them for any other
purpose, or for the purpose of determ-
ining whether exhibit AZ is libelous
or not, as that must be determined by
examination and consideration of the
article. The alleged libel is to be un-
derst0od and construed according to
the context and the approved usage of
the English language. In determining
whether it is ibelous or not. it should
not be strained or any forced meaning
given to it, but the words should be
construed in their plain and popular
sense, and it was the jury's duty not
to insert what has been omitted, or
omit what has been inserted.
The jury must determine from the ar
ticle complained of whether or not it
exposes plaintiff to hatred, contempt
ridieule or obloquy or causes him to
be Stunned or avoided, or has a ten
dency to injure him in his occupation
The article must be considered all to-
gether. Parts cannot be severed from
the rest so as to give them a meaning
which the whole would not justify The
plaintiff has not alleged or proved any
special damages in this case and can
not recover any such damages In such
case the plaintiff is entitled only to
such oamage as the law presumes from
the publication, and the law does not
presume any damage unless the article
complained of is libelous on it's face.
The court further instructed them
that any nine of them could agree on
verdict and when they did SO, it
was the duty of the foreman to sign
the verdict and return it to the court
The jury retired at 2:35 D. m., and
at D. m returned to the courtroom
ana announced in answer to a question
by the court, that they had not agreed
on a verdict, and requested that they
be siven the letters and papers con-
nected with the case, which was done
and they returned to the juryroom.
Shortly after p. m. the jury filed
INTO the courtroom and announced that
they had agreed on a verdict. and the
foreman handed up one stating that
| the jury found a verdict for the plain
tiff, With $50 damages.
