Calvin Schwing, Of the Iberville
South, is a hot member. Some
one cast certain reflections on the
South's printing contract, and
the following pointed rejoinder ap-
peared in the columns of that
paper last Saturday under the sig
nature of Mr.. Schwing:
Gas to the intimation that The
South has been a party to a scheme
of robbery, I denounce the state
ment as an unmitigated, malicious
lie, and the author of the article,
whoever he may be, as an unmit-
igated, malicious and contemplate
liar"

Sugar is one of the necessaries of
life, but if it was put on the free
list without an adequate bounty be-
ing given the producer, no greater
howl would go up from any source
than from those Democratic Jour-
mails in South Louisiana, which are
trying to destroy the influence of
Senator McEnery and read him out
of the party.-Cataboula News,
Dem.
How eau the good white citizens
organize independent of party lines,
for the purpose, of giving to Louis
lana white supremacy 1t would
be good plan to organize in all
parishes, as they did in New Or
leans. If the good athens do not
get together in opposition to this
constitutional convention we may
as we'll not vote on election day for
the bosses say eve must have the
convention if the ballot-box has to
be stuffed" We can organize and
rid ourselves now, but after that
convention we may not have the
opportunity. A good body of rep
resentative citizens could form a
new constitution far superior to our
present one in many respects, but
no such men could be elected by
bosses.-Grand Cane Beacon, Pop.
The Louisville Times, in noting
the fact that when the negro who
assaulted a negro at Texarkana,
Texas, few years ago, was burned
at the stake, the victim lighted the
fire, and that the Ohio woman who
suffered the same outrrge, praises
the mob who avenged her, suggests
that the women of the North do
not differ from those of tie South
any more than do the mobs.-Daily
States, Dem.
The governor of Alabama should
be held morally and legally respon-
sible for any life that may be sacri-
feed in defending the two negro
brutes now in the Huntsville Jail.
There is an unwritten law before
which legislative enactments should
be silent. 1t is that the ravisher
shall be hanged to the nearest tree,
if incontestible evidence of guilt be
at hand, rather than that his life
shall be indefinitely prolonged
through the miserable quirks and
bubbles of the law, and if in con-
one life be taken the official,
whether governor or sheriff, re-
sponsible therefor, should be con-
victed of and hanged for murder.

Remarkable bird story.

A sparrow few into one of the large
rooms at the Burlington shops at Bur-
lington, Ia, the other day, and, getting
too near one of the wheels, was sucked
in. The workmen saw it and supposed
that it was instantly killed, as the wheel
was revolving at the rate of 100 revolu-
tions a minute. When the machinery
was shut down at noon a gentle chirp
was heard from the wheel, and when one
of the workmen looked the sparrow was
there, still alive. 1t had chung to the
strengthening rod inside the wheel, and
was so dazed it could not fly. 1t was
picked up and placed on table, where
it recovered in a short time and flew
away. The wheel made $1,000 revolu-
tons while the bird was clinging to it,
and the sparrow had travelled more than
% miles in that manner.

stroke can learn in half an hour to
turn and swim on his back, and he will
find it much easier and more restful
than the ordinary method. Indeed, he
will find that he can keep himself afoat
merely by padding gently with his
hands, allowing his legs to lie entirely
still.
In effecting rescue the drowning
person should turn or be turned on his
back, and the swimmer should grasp
him lightly at the back of the neck with
one hand. Both should lie as deep in the
water as possible, and the swimmer can
then propel himself with his feet and
one hand. 0fcourse, this method would
not work where the drowning person
was frantic with fright, although If
such a person can be sustained until he
becomes unconscious he may then be
easily towed to safety. Next time you
are in swimming try this method with
some other boy acting as the drowning
person. You will be astonished to see
how easily he may be dragged through
the water.-Chicago News.

Note that this cutting down does not
mean drawing the knife down the line,
but simply pressing it down onto the
line. When cutting down line which
is longer than the knife the point must
be pressed into the center and drawn
down the line. Proceed in the same way
with lines B, and d, and so on with
all the squares.
In cutting down these lines the blade
of the knife must be pressed perfectly
straight into the wood or the point is
liable to break. Then put the point of
your knife in at E, keeping the blade
nearly fat against the wood, and draw
It down the line F, gradually pressing
the point into the center of the square,
so as to entirely detach the triangular
piece of wood. 1t will be seen by dia-
gram c that when all these triangular
pieces (G) have been taken a line of
diamond-shaped pieces will be left.
Then with the point of your knife make
a small straight cut in each side of the
diamond, slanting toward the center,
and a small slanting cut into the
straight one diamond d., and you will
have a very pretty and effective little
border.
The depth of the pattern described
should be about one-eighth of an inch
in the deepest parts.-Chicago News.

SMART OLD CAPTAIN.
How He Sailed and steered a Ballsy
Cow to the Fair.

How He Sailed and Steered a Ba1ISy
Cow to the Fair.
When I was down on Cape Cod last
summer heard an amusing story about
an old sea captain and his cow. Capt.
Patterson, after sailing the sea for more
than 40 years, finally retired to little
farm near Barnstable, where he settled
down, with a horse, cow and two or
three dozen hens. His COW, though
lank and stubborn creature, was said
to come from very good stock, and when
the Barnstable people took it into their
heads to have fair Capt. Patterson de-
termined to exhibit his COW. But when
the day came for driving her to the
grounds, the cow showed that she had
mind of her own, and would not bulge
step beyond the farmyard gate. In
vain the old captain tugged at the rope,
pommeled her sides and pushed her
tanks. The COW wanted to go to pas
ture, and was bound she wouldn't go
to the fair.
Capt. Patterson's patience was very
nearly gone, when suddenly an idea oc-
Cured to him. Though he was not
strong enough himself to force the
cow to go to the fair, his training sug-
gested something that was. Tying the
cow to the gate post, he went up into
the loft of his barn and threw down an
old sail stepped to doryunast. Then he
put a horse blanket belt through an
iron ring, strapped the belt around the
COW, inserted the end of the mast in the
ring, and bound the mast to the side of
the COW with some so feet of rope. The
wind blew "quartering," and when the
captain united the cow and raised the
sail the canvas swelled out over the
cows back and away she went "sidling"
down the road, mooing and lunging, and
trying to stop herself in vain. Capt.
Patterson seized her tail, and, using it
as rudder guided her sllillfully in the
right direction. With every fresh puff
of wind the obstinate cow would ba
hurried along faster, while the dust
blew up in clouds, and the sail tapped
and tugged, as Capt. Patterson held to
the mainsheet with one hand and the
cows tail with the other.
1t was hard voyage for both of them,
but not long one, andwhen they came
in sight of the fair ground everybody
ran out to see the remarkable sight of
q COW being sailed through the streets
like ship. Cheers and laughter filed
the air, and when the captain finally
whirled his COW around at the gate of
the fair grounds and brought her neat
ly Cup into the wind" the shout that
arose might have been heard two miles
away. Unfortunately, Capt. Patterson's
cow did not take one of the prizes for
blooded stock, but the captain himself
was given special prize by the fair
commissioners for "the best advice for
getting balBy cattle to market."-Out-
| look.

INDIAN CHIP CARVING.

Splendid Pnstime for Boys Who
Know How to Handle "A Knife.
The art of Indian chip carving is one
which is just now coming much into
favor and it is really, for small articles,
even more effective than the relief carv-
ing which has been in vogue for many
years,
Chip carving has also the advantage
of being easier to learn and of requiring
only one tool and, as the chips are small
and so easily kept together and the
wood does not need to be clamped onto
the table, it can be done even in the
drawingpoom, and small article, such
as photograph frame or matchbox, is
as nice as piece of needlework to take
with one when paying visit.
The only tool required is small knife,
as shown in diagram A, costing about
25 cents, though, of course, pair of
compasses, pencil and ryler are neces-
sary TO draw ones own designs, and to
anyone with a taste for geometrical
drawing this is almost as interesting as
the carving. The wood used must be
close-grained and soft, as no mallet can
be ICED; white lime and sycamore be-
ing the best, though it can be done in
other kinds.
In beginning it is best to take some
simple pattern, such as is shown in dia-
gram B, which it will easily be seen is
composed of small squares crossed from
corner to corner. Grasp the knife firm
ly in the right hand, using your left
hand to guide and keep it steady. Press
the point of the knife deeply into the
center of the square and cut down the
line A, making the cut gradually shall
lower toward the corner of the square.

Pigeon nrenlss HendIight.

That pigeon should have strength
enough or weight enough while flying
to break the heavy glass of a locomotive
headlight seems strange, but such case
occurred on the Iron Mountain railroad,
in Missouri. When the train pulled into
Bismarck it was discovered that the
headlight was broken, and inside was
pigeon. When the train left the pre-
vious station the glass was intact, so
that the pigeon must have flown against
it or been struck while flying. The
strange occurrence happened in day
light, so that the bird was not attracted
by the light, as it might have been dur

HOW TO SAVE LIVES.
Hints for Boys and Girls Who Know
How to Swim.

How to Swim.
A boy or girl never knows at what
moment he may be called upon to save
the life of friend from drowning, espe-
cially in these days of swimming and
boating. He should therefore prepare
for the emergency by practicing life
saving devices every time he goes in
swimming. A little calmness of mind
and a very little skill will often serve
to sustain a sinking swimmer until
help may come.
One of the methods used by the Eng
lish ife-saving service is shown in the
picture. 1t may at first sight look diff
cult, but it is one of the easiest of all
the methods. It is necessary, of course,
that the boy who saves a person in this
way be able to swim easily and readily
on his back. Any boy who can swim
in the regular way with the deep under

gives edge to the appetite, makes digestion
