JACKS DECISION.


Written for the InteIIIgencer.
Jack I'm had been working hard in
his Office On Broadway and Nineteenth
street all day. and he had been too busy
even to allow himself to think OF the
question that wns stirring every mans
heart. But ROW that his work was FIN
ished he wanted to come to a decision.
He walked up Broadway to Twenty
THIRD street and entered Madison
Square, for how could he think, among
such a crowd OF people, in his present
mood? All OF the people, intent on their
own affairs. seemed so cold and unsSm-
pathetic 10 him. The horses, carriages,
cars, and small boys--all confused him,
so he strolled through the square to-
ward Twenty.sIxth street and Madison
avenue This Is much the quieter por-
tion. and It is almost impossible to be-
leve that 1t is so near Broadway, so
great contrast does 1t present TO the
noise and unrest Of the other side.
He sat down on one Of the benches
here and proceeded to think over his
problem, which vas whether or not he
should enlist In the army. The Presl-
dent had issued second call for vol
unteers and II seemed TO JACK as II eV-
cry patriotic man should respond to the
call-and yet he hesitated.
The large triangular grass plots
stretched our before him reminded him
of his far off country home. At the
thought that perhaps he would never
see 1t again It seemed more dear to
him than ever. The gentle murmur OF
the fountain recalled TO his mind the
brook that ran near his home, and the
dear little girl with whom he played.
The large bed Of jonquils made him
think OF that first spring day when he
had gone home and with her had greet
ed these flowers. He had told her then
that her hair was the same color as the
yellow jonquils, and then he wonder
ed why she had been offended.
II was getting darker; he could
scarcely see the objects in front Of
him. The tall tower OF the Madison
Square Garden, brilliantly lighted with
electric lights. alone gave him his
BEARINGS He remembered how she had
told him one day In one bt her serious
moods that she could never love COW
ard. That decided him. He determined
to enlist that night, but he LEFT, with a
Sigh. his pleasant surroundings and bis
Bweet memories.

ports the waite. seemed covered with
row-boats and few steam and electric
launches dartlng here and there, hlled
with officers and shouting orderlles. In
the apparent confusion the most perfect
order prevailed. The soldiers were
packed In the boats like the proverblal
sardines; each man carried his gun and
oil field accoutrements, and, had his
blanket slunE over his shoulder.

Editor St. Tammany FARMER:
One of the most enjoyable events
Of the season was picnic given by
Camp Ground Sunday School, July
%. At 9 o'clock the ground was
crowded with little tots awaiting
the great sport of the day. Swings
had been put up all around the
ground. The Superintendent, MIR.
Ernest Dutsch, with the assistance
of the teachers, Miss Mollie Dutsch
and Miss Doll Hemple, deserve
much credit in helping to give the
children very pleasant day. AT
IL o'clock very large table was
covered with lots of good things
for the children Of which over 200
partook. After dinner some very
pretty songs were rendered by the
children. At n. NJ. Mrs. Otto
Strattman and Miss Jennie Schultz
served ice cream and cake in abund-
ance. Preceding this came some
very amusing games, which lasted
until a late hour. All the children
then departed for their homes, very
tired and sorry the day had come
to close. Owing to the indis-
position of the "Old Patriotic
speaking was omitted.
A very amusing watermelon
cutting took place Sunday after
noon at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Matthies. Several water
melons were cut and ate by all with
relish. A prize was awarded for
the one who could eat the most
watermelon, which was won by
Miss Katie Pfeffer, of New Orleans.
The consolation was by Mr.. Ernest
Dutsch, Those participating were
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthies, Misses
Doll Hemple, Rose Hemple, Miss
Katie Pfeffer, Mrs. Frank Eikel,
Minnie Eikel, Elsie Elkel, Mr.. F.
Hemple, MIR. Ernest Dutsch, and
many others. A VISITOR.

PETER JOLLY KILLED.

The feud Of Bayou Lacombe did
not end when the Cousin and Jolly
families fought that bloody and fatal
duel one Sunday morning last fall.
Wednesday night. July 20. one
of the leading actors in that terril
bic tragedy, Peter jolly, was sssassi-
mated. And though he was shot
down in sight Of the little boy who
was with jolly, still there is nc
evidence to point the perpetrators
Of the deed.
jolly, who was a young black Of the
bayou, was called into the fatal due
with the Cousins, who were in some
manner connected with his family.
He saw . brother fall, aud, with a
younger brother, kept up the
deadly fire, aud only stopped when
Cousin had fallen. The women oi
the families began the row and
coached the men as they fought.
Peter jolly was wounded in the
fight and was almost beaten to
