Shreveport has begun to grow SO
rapidly, and the committee felt
that it had hard task before it to
raise the necessary funds-though |
the members fully appreciated the
great importance of making a good
impression on this band OF news
dispensers who would tell the Ma
tion-perhaps the world OF
Shreveport, present importance
and prospects of further greatness.
However an agreeable surprise
awaited the solicitors: for with but
few exceptions q ready response
was given and in a short while it
became definitely fixed in the COM
| mittee's mind that ample funds
would be raised. AS he usu-
ALLY does, Mr.. Leon M. Carter

luse of the Grand Opera house,

TOURING EDITORS.
A. Stopped ON Their Way, And Al
Entertained by Shreveport.

l..
I.st week it was whispered
about our city that an excursion OF
folks, both ladies and
from Southwest Mis-
souri were on their way to Port
Arthur. This report was verified
last Saturday morning when the
Daily Times announced that
needing of the Shreveport board
~ trade would be held that morn
inn. for the citizens to take hold OF
the matter, and take steps to-
vardn entertaining the tourists.
As usual with our people when
ANYTHING of importance to Shreve-

I've citizens met-those not pres
ent fully indorsing all that was
done-and it was soon seen that
the unanimity of sentiment was IN
favor of helting the good pilgrims
long enough to show them that
Shreveport was not only on the
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gun
railroad. but that it was the most
important city along the route, or
1t either terminus.
Some of the jokers OF the board
put up q job on the local press
the most cordial feeling exists be-
tween them-and placed the entire
arrangement in the hands OF the
representative thereof; our editor
being made chairman.
But the Shreveport press mas

than in cases where the indeterminate
system does not obtain, and for obvious
reasons. 1t is to hang over the pris-
oner as a threat of severe punishment
and as an incentive to good conduct
The system is thus rather reversal
of than concurrence in the credit sys-
tenn. Under the latter the convict may
reduce his definite term of servitude,
and no matter how refractory and i'll
behaved, he cannot be punished beyond
the term specified by the trial Judge.
In the other case his winning of cred

extreme penalty.

ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Wanted to be Coaxed.

NO" said Evangeline Glendenning
as she looked down at the floor and
nervously twisted her slim little fingers,
no. Alfred, l am sorry, but it cannot
be-"
Alfred Doncaster had loved the beau
tiful girl from the moment he had first
seen her, and he had fondly believed
that she looked upon him with more
than ordinary favor.
But now his hopes lay shattered, and
the future stretched out black before
him.
The strong, handsome young man
sighed, and was silent for long time.
At last the sweet maiden said:
TRY to be brave, Alfred. Look at
me. See how / am bearing up"
He turned toward her in wonder, and
said:
why should you bid me do this?
What have you to bear up under?
She shrank back little, and replied:
"Oh. Alfred, if you only knew!"
"EvangelineI' he cried, catching her
in his arms and holding her in a strong
embrace, you love me! All, darling
Tell me it is so.''
ISS, SHG WlilSptASQ, iONG yOh,

"Oh, heaveni" he groaned, this is
terrible, terrible! Oh, if you only hated
me-loathed me, Then my fate would
be less bitter"
She was frightened, and drew away
from him.
''Why?" she asked. "do you want me
to hate you?"
"Ah,'' he answered, 'I, might bear
my own burden; but how can l survive,
knowing that you, too, suffer-"
yet why should either Of US suffer-"
the trembling girl inquired.
'Evangeline!" he almost Missed, ''do

fer? Are we not doomed to everlasting
separation and misery? Are we not to

ing to let little bluff stop you right

me to tumble into your arms the first

for the word? You must be new at
the business
Then she became so angry that it
took Alfred Doncaster nearly seven
minutes to win her back again.-Cleve-

Looking for the Fire.

This happened one night about the
time Mayor Worries promulgated the
suggestion TO the Fire Department to
flush the streets says the st Joseph

applied to nameless individuals whose
identity has been drowned in the flow
ing bowl, stepped out at 3 a. m. on to

that issued from the stack at the cleo
trio light station on the river bank.

Shooting Down to Safety.

A new form of fire escapes has been
tested in Louisville, KY, which seems
particularly we'll adapted to schools and
institutions where there are children or
sick persons.
In appearance the fire escape resem-
bles a standpipe and may be built to
any hight. 1t is cylindrical in form and
six feet in diameter. The material
used in its construction is sheet steel.
1t stands close to the building and short
bridges connect the tower with each
floor Of the building.
Within the cylinder is a corkscrew
slide This slide is of sheet steel and
built something on the order of a cir
cular stairway. When a person enters
the chute he Immediately slides to the
bottom on this slide, which is perfectly
smooth.
A peculiar feature of the escape is
that the construction is such that the
momentum Of a person entering the
chute is no greater at the bottom than
when starting at the top.

| ty Of Sacramento would be judged by

that county alone in the rejoicing over

difficult to find. The people of the State

THE LAW AND THE CRIMINAL
Marysville Appeal: Undou ubtedly the
law owes to the popular belief to the
certainty Of its operation its most whole
some effect as deterrent of crime. And
to this end the question of time is a
factor, and the celerity as we'll as the
certainty of the punishments prescribed
by the law becomes important.
Men are only mortalS. and we know
our methods for the detection of crime
must often fail in their aDolication TO
particular cases. So. too, the public
locks with a lenient eye upon the de-
linquencies of the juror, who is only
citizen who serves as an official Of
the courts as an incident and not a
profession. But that criminal who has
been convicted and sentenced should
avoid the penalty of crime by the skill
full use of technical objections-by per
sistent appeals in the letter of the law,
but directly contradictory to the spirit
these are of the things whicn disturb
the foundations of society because they
attack the basis upon which rest the
pillars of our Government, the safety
of our business, and the perpetuity of
our institutions.
ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Modesto News: A genuine revolution

and habits of the American people IN
the last ten years. 1t is physical revo-
luton and gives promise of producing q
race of men and women with magnifi-
cent bodies and nearly or quite perfect
health A proof of the general interest
in athletic sports throughout the coun-
try is shown in the fact that the news
