Old coat, for some three or four seasons
We've been jolly comrades, but now
We part, old companion, forever;
TO fate and the fashion, bow.
You'd look well enough at dinner;
I'd wear you with pride at ball;
But Pm dressing tonight for a we'd
ding,
My own-and you'd not do at all.
You've too many wine stains about you,
You're scented too much with cigars;
When the gas-light shines full on your
collar,
1t glitters with myriad stars.
That wouldn't look well at my wedding;
They'd seem inappropriate there
Nell doesn't use diamond powder
She tie lis me it ruins the hair
You've been out on Cozzen's piazza
Too late when the evenings were damp,
When the moOnbeams were silvering
cro' nest,
And the lights were all out in camp.
You've rested on highly-Oiled stair
ways
Too often, when sweet eyes were bright,
And somebody's ball dress-not
Nellie's--
Flowed round you in rivers of white
There's reprobate looseness about
you;
Should wear you tonight, believe,
AS l come with my bride from the
altar,
You'd laugh in your wicked old sleeve,
When you felt there the tremulous
pressure
OF her hand in its delicate glove,
That is telling me shyly, but proudly,
Her trust is as deep as her love.
So, go to your grave in the wardrobe,
And furnish a feast for the moth,
Nell's glove shall betray its sweet
secrets
To younger, more innocent cloth.
IT'S time to put on your successor
It's made of fashion that's new;
Old coat, I'm afraid il will never
Sit as easily on me as you.

Washing Windows.

Every practical housekeeper
seems to have a different method of
cleaning windows, which she con-
siders superior to any plan adhered
to by neighbors and friends. But
arter single trial of this method,
it is doubtful If one will care to
make a change, no matter how
satisfactory the operations previous
ly applied.
Have ready muslin bag full Of
whiting, and two wash feathers.
Dust the glass thickly with the
whiting, then rub it off thoroughly
with damp, not wet, leather or
chamois, and finally polish it well
with clean dry one. This is the
method pursued by workmen when
cleaning the windows of new
house, and gives a polish unknown
to glass washed in the ordinary way .
Another excellent method of Civ
ing brilliancy to glass, is to dampen
rag slightly with spirits of wine,
and rub the glass well with this,
then polish as before with a clean,
dry leather. Newspapers are adj
mirable as polishers for window
panes when the leather or chamois
is not convenient, or for any other
glass, save that used for food or
beverages. The newspaper should
be crushed and softened in the
hands before using, and the print
er's ink is said to aid in giving the
brilliant polish so quickly obtained
1t is important that no soap should
be used on the windows if they are
to be kept bright and shining. If
they have become dull or greasy
looking, because of improper clean
ing in the past, and the powdered
whiting does not seem to give the
desired effect at first, simply wash
them with little warm water and
diluted ammonia, and then polish
(after thorough rinsing) with the
chamois or crumpled newspaper.

Luxury of Hosnltnlity.

The highest social compliment
that we can extend to friend is an
invitation to dinner. Dinner giving
is an art not admitting brief dis
cussion. 1t is the most pleasant
phase of social life, the very luxury
of hospitality. 1t is the occasion
where our best mental and social
gifts come into play. Its atmosphere
is one where acquaintance may
ripen into friendship. For the
hostess it affords opportunity for all
the refinements and possibilities for
her domestic talents, for her social
graces, wit, tact and intellectual
powers. Robbed of its supposed eX-
pensiveness, of the excessive effort
involved, it would be the most popu-
lar form of entertaining.
At the regular home dinner there
is obviously no bar to the presence
of the accidental or formally in
vited guests, since it costs us moth
ing but the impulse to give pleasure.
Why not let few of our friends
without homes feel sure of a cordial
reception whenever inclined to join
us at our evening meal. If on three
evenings out of every seven we had
a guest, it would make no difference
in the sum total of our yearly eX-
penses, vet what a delightful
revenue of pleasure it might yield.
Do not let us keep a debt and
credit account with miserly exact
ness in our social affairs. We will
naturally entertain those who en-
terrain us, but let us be lenient in
overstepping such limitations, and
also in giving two or more invita-
tions for one received if conditions
are more favorable with us than
with others.
In short, one way of getting the
most out Of life is to make of our
homes radiating centres, sending
out shafts of good, happines and
love, attracting return proper
tionate to the five talents wisely
employed. TO this end we must
study in it's very essential essence
the meaning of the word "wel-
come"

Every word, thought and deed has
its influence upon the destiny OF
man. Every life, we'll spent or ill
spent, bears with it long train OF
consequences, extending through
generations yet unborn.-Samuel
Smiles.

That there is a physiological con-
nection between the hair of the head
and the temperament OF the individ-
ual is no new idea. Amongst many
ancient nations, indeed, the con-
dition and quality of the hair were
regarded as infallible signs of per-
sons nature, and if these signs were
unsatisfactory, that persons locks
had to be in some way altered for
the better. Some physiological ira
ditiOns connected with the hair are
revealed in a work known as "The
Secrets of Beauty" which was pub
lished in Paris in the year 1862. For
instance, we learn that Zine, silky,
and supple hair" is the mark of a
delicate and sensitive tempera-
ment." Again, hair that is "curly
and crisp" without artificial persua-
sion betrays a dangerous clever
ness a brilliant rashness," which
may be trusted to lead to trouble
nine times out of ten. Further,
white hair-presumably when it is
premature-is the sure sign of "a
Emphatic and indOlent constitu-

"harsh, upright hair" which shows
"reticent and sour spirit Per-
haps, however, the worst sort of all
is fiat, clinging, straight hair" de-
noting a " melancholy character

A Negro Killed.

At a negro marriage feast near
Royville last Monday evening,
Joachim Broussard shot and fatally
wounded another negro by the name
of Emile Girouard.
The two parties seem to have
been on friendly terms and it is
claimed the shooting was acct
abdomen and died the next day.
Sheriff Broussard visited the scene
of the shooting and lodged Brous-
sard in the parish Jail Monday
evening. There were no immediate
witnesses, but it is said the wounded
man acknowledged that it was an
accident, and Azenore Bosset, who
went to the man as soon as he fell,
says Girouard blamed Broussard
only for the careless handling of
his pistol. Broussard is still in Jail.
Coroner Trahan held an inquest
Wednesday and the jury returned
verdict simply saying that the dead
man had received a mortal wound
from a pistol shot.
1t appears that the Witnesses con-
tradict one another and it is
doubted whether the man shot him
self or whether Broussard did, on
account of the contradictory state
ments of the witnesses. AS there
were no actual witnesses to the
deed, it is difficult to ascertain
whether there was foul work or not,
and the officers will have another
mystery to unravel.

Mrs. Anna M. Caffery.

Anna M. caffery, widow of the late
Jefferson J. Caffery, died At the
residence of her son-in-law, Charles
M. Fitzpatrick. She was born June
9, 1890. Her death occurred after
a few days illness and was a great
shock to her family and friends.
She was born and raised in this par
ish and with her husband and fam
lily resided here until about 1880.
She was a daughter of the late Basil
c. Crow, one of the early settlers
in this parish, a lawyer of distinction
who practiced in this and adjoining
parishes.
Mrs. Caffery is pronounced by all
who knew her to have been a wo-
man of exceptionally fine traits of
character; she was pre-eminently a
Christian woman; in all the rela-
tons of life, whether as daughter or
sister, wife or mother, she was kind,
devoted and true. Her life was one
of devotion and self-sacrifice for the
good of others. She was charitable
to a fault. She exampli6ed to a
high degree all womanly virtues.
The pattern of her life was the
"Mother in Israel" because it was
in that relation that none surpassed
her. Indeed, it is true, "Her
children rise up and call her
blessed" for she has left them the
estimable heritage of glorious life;
the memory of her to them must be
one of the grandest ever left by
parent to child.
Three daughters and four sons
survive her.
She was a sister of Mrs. NJ. f.
Girard, and the late Mrs. S. T. IT.
win.
Her remains were brought here
and laid beside her husband and
children who had gone before.

And made the statement that Of
all the men whose names are on this
ticket there was then only one sur
vivor, viz: Robert c. Wickliffe.
This was an error on the part of
the States. In December, 1891,
Charles H. Mouton, who was can
didate for Lieutenant Governor on
the same ticket was then living in
St. Martinvllle, where he was TAX
ing a very active part in organizing
Democratic clubs throughout the
parish against the lottery amend
ment; and when the old gentleman
saw the name of Robert c. Wick
life as the candidate for Lieuten-
ticket it panied him very much, for
the name Of Robert G. Wickliffe
brought to his mind reminicenses
of many exciting incidents of the
campaign of 1855, when men,
women and young people of all
shades of political opinion and of
religious faith would assemble in
large crowds to hear Robert G.
Wickliffe, ssBlue Grass Bob"

Pony" Andrew S. Heron, 'The

Mr.. c. H. Mouton is yet living,
and, we believe, is now the only
one left of the eight men whose
names are on the Democratic State
ticket of 1855. He is Practicing
law in St. Martinville, La; he is
healthy and active. He comes to
his office every morning at 9
o'clock, sometimes afoot and some
times on his pony. He goes to
dinner at twelve and comes back. to
his Office at two. He takes lively
interest in the political questions of
the present day and although over
70 years of age, he hopes that in
1900 he will be able to help in
striking a death blow to monopo-
lies, trusts and class legislation.

On His Way Home.

Readers of The Gazette may re-
member the case of w. J. Deadly,
who, in February, 1896, walked
into the sheriff's office ard delivered
himself up to the authorities for
having killed a man in Eureka,
Ark, fifteen years before. He
then stated that he could not stand
the strain any longer and wanted to
stand trial. He was lodged in Jail
by the authorities here, awaiting the
coming of the proper officials from
Arkansas, who soon took him in
custody, and who then expressed
themselves favorably as to his
chances of acquittal.
A few days ago Mr.. Deadly
passed through town on his way to
F1ouma, where he has a wife and
two children.
He says he had no trouble in
getting clear, and that he was
treated with all possible courtesy by
the Arkansas officials. He stopped
in Lafayette to again return thanks
to the officers here for the kind
treatment he received at their hands,
while incarcerated in the parish Jail.
