Attorney Phalen resumed his address
The absence of the children was taken
by the prosecution as confirmation of
the assertion Of the prosecution yester-
day that the little boys were brought
into court after the absence Of two
weeks, simply to play upon the sympa-

Luetgert shed tears in parting from
his children last night. 1t was the
first genuine display of emotion the
sausage maker has displayed since his
arrest.
The expression upon the face of Lieut.

plainly than words that he had spent
a restless night. HE is breaking

know the man well. II will not be
surprising If total collapse follows in
the event of conviction. Dark rings
enclrcled the swollen eyes of the pris-
oner this morning and his manner was
subdued in comparison with the
spirit he displayed some weeks ago.

up in review all the details of the IA

The Louisiana populist., 1897-07-09

Every opposition paper trots out
its rooster, and the editor waits for
the world to come to an end or the
moon to turn to blood.
But it don't come.
Neither do his delinquent sub
scribers.
At this point in the proceedings
it is time to borrow some more
money.
He would quit tie business, but
be can't.
When a man undertakes to re
form the world he is never out of
a job.
He always sees something that
needs his attention.
But the reform editor is made
OF the right kind of metal.
He is always out of money but
seldom out of heart.
He use to dream of the time
when he could bathe his wearied
feet in the ripping waters of sue
cess.
When every man would do un-
to his brother as he would have his
brother to do unto him.
When in Utopia's green fields
and by the side Of its babbling
brooks he could end bis days.
But he is over that now.
lie knows the devil has a cineh
on the "whole shootin' match"
All he can do is to pull the dew
lis tail and make him howl.
He hopes in this way to attract
some attent!onand set the people,
to thinking.
Here's to the Reform editor.
He may have chosen a rough and
tempestuous road but the lightning
strokes Of his gifted pen and thun-
der tones of his voice will purify
the moral and political atmosphere.
-Morgan's Buzz Say.

The Reform Editor.

The Reform editer is a political
walf on the tempestuous sea of
strife.
1t would have been money in
his pocket if he had never been
born.
He has devil part Of the time,
and q devil of time all the time.
The smallest thing about him is
his pocket book and the largest his
delinquent list.
He says mere kind things of
other people and gets more "cus-
sings" than any other living man.
lie has been pommelled so much
that his hide is as tough as an alli-
gators.
He can't kick as high nor as fast
as mule, but he can kick Il blam-
ed sight harder and keep it up un-
til the mule is ashamed Of itself.
He never quits kicking until he
dies, and it is doubtful if he does
then.
When he first takes the Job of
reforming the world he thinks it
can be finished in six months or a
year.
Then he puts it off another year
and borrows some money of his
father-in-law.
Then he enlists for three years
or during the war and borrows
some more money.
| At this stage Of the game he
takes new grip on the situation
and starts in to finish up the job in
the next campaign.
Bat a cog slips and the dadgum
med thing slides merrily down the
broad road to destruction.
The editor tears his hair and says
some cuss words.
The devil grins and throws the
shooting stick at the Office cat.

George and the Fish.

The fish editor has received the
following story from lady who

racity:
"You must be on your good be-
havior this evening, George, for
the minister is to take dinner with
us" said a Milwaukee lady to her
worser half as he got home from
his Office in the city last Thursday.
W"hat have you for dinner!"

table," said George, s'but guess
we can get through with it all
right" 4
Half an hour later they were
seated at the table, and Il blessing
had been asked by the minister. A
little nervously the head of the
family began dishing out the vege-
tables, and, turning to the guest,
said:
"WiIl you have some of the lit
Tie river fish, or would you prefer
some of tho dam big fish,"
The warning kick under the ia
bic from his wife was unnecessary.
He knew he had blnndered, and
cold beads of perspiration started
out Oh bis forehead.

Worse and more of it! His
daughter slyly pulled his coat tail
to bring him to his senses.
