We guess it pays them, or they
would not continue such PROPOSE
tons, but it does seem to The Pro-
gress that no one but a green-horn
and youthful sucker would accept
proposition to advertise sewing
machiues, guns, pianos or any
thing else, when the newspaper
man must make a good cash pay
ment. besides giving his space, in
return for the object advertised.
We can see how itmight be a BUSH
ness proposition to accept such an
article in exchange for advertising
where the rates are fair; but the
other we regard as brazen impu-
dence.

MARDI-GRAS FESTIVAL.
The Grand Order eff the Orient
VIII Celebrate the Event
in Shreveport.

The Grand Order OF the Orient
is making preparations for a granc
two days festival and parade or
the Monday preceding, and Tues
lay Mardi-Gfas. next February
This will be followed by a grand
masquerade ball on Mardi- Gras
night.
This Order has an enviablt
prestige wherever it IS established
and the lodge in Shreveport is one
the most prominent Of all the or
CARNATIONS banded under the my s.
tic rites Of the Fire Worshippers.
On Friday night Of last week a
committee of arrangements was
appointed to take charge of the
great and interesting event. These
were selected with great care and
delioeration because it is the in
tention Of the Grand Pa Di Shah
and his royal Princes of the Orient
to come to Shreveport in manner
becoming such a dignitary as his
Eminence is.
The following worthy and conf
dental subjects have been named
to carry out the wishes OF His
Royal Highness:
E. Phelps, Jr., G. D. Hicks.
Leon |. Kahn, Julius Saenger, J.
c. Simon, S. B. Simon, A. L. Ter
rell, l.. Adsett, H. H. Thoms, DR..
S. H. Hicks, Leon Kahn, A. Saen-
ger, w. Nolen, A. A. Clark, j. K.
Herold and I. T. Dreyfuss.
This committee metin the Direc-
tory Rooms of the Shreveport Mu-
tual Building Association last
Tuesday night and permanently
organized for active and progr IS
sive work. Mr., E. Phelps, Jr.,
was elected chairman, Mr.. C. D.
Hicks secretary, and Mr.. S. B. ST.
mon treasurer.
Several important sub-commit-
tees were appointed, and these
have gooe to work with a vim.
While a most considerate SOW
ereign, the Grand Pa Di Shah is
at the same time an exac,ing one,
and he has demanded of his sub
jects of our city, the Grand Order
OF the Orient, that they arrange
for such display and parade as
will comport with the dignity of
his royal position and his realm in
the galaxy of sovereignties of the
world.
No event in the history of
Shreveport will excel if equal this
great carnival. The pageant will
be one BETTING a Pa Di Shah of
the Orient, the land Of splendor
and of rich conceptions. Our city
will be ablaze with enthusiasm,
and High Carnival will WELD the
scepter with lavish hand and trans
cendant effulgence.
In another column will be found
the proclamation of the Grand Pa
Di Shah's Vice-Roys; and The
Progress hopes our citizens will
give due heed thereto, and con-
tribute literally when they are
called upon. 1t will mean much
to Shreveport; it will bring thous-
ands here to witness the gorgeous
pageont and carnival and to attend
the ball.
1t is also intended to have a
trades union and general business
display. Every Order and organi-
zation in the city, of whatever ma
ture, so it be of moral standing. is
cordially invited to take part in
the parade.
The committee will meet again
next Tuesday night.

HE SAW THE PARADE.
The Dentist Couldn't Convince This
Brniny Man That Gas would
Put Him out.

"I had a queer fellow in the chair the
other day." said the dentist, as he fit
ted new drilling head into his satanic
little instrument of torture. "a man
came in to have a tooth out-one of
those great, big, pompous. egotistical
chaps, who looked as though he owned
the whole city water front at the very
least. told told him that he would bet
ter take gas because the tooth was
bad one, badly liberated. Well, then
you should have seen him! lie looked
at me with a kind of plying smile.
"Gas,' he said, 'gasl Humphl Why,
my good man, gas wouldn't have any eff
feet on me. 1t may work with some
people, but not with me. Too much
mind, my dear felow-altogether too
much mind'-and he actually tapped
his forehead with his finger as though
il held the whole of the Aston library,
with the Lenox and the Tilden founda-
ton to boot.
1.-The old chap was so confoundedly
disagreeable with all his conceit that
I made up my mind l would have to
take him down peg.
look here / said. You let me give
you gas, and if you don't become entire
ly unconscious, so that you don't feel
the pulling of your tooth, I'll not
charge you cent?
"He shifted and pooh-poohed; but
insisted, and after awhile he said: All
right; go ahead if it will be any satisfac-
tion to you. But L tell you in advance
that it will not have the slightest eff
feet. Altogether too much m but L
managed to get the rubber cup over his
face and cut him short.
He went off with his eyes wide open
and was a thousand miles away in few
seconds. / took his tooth out and then
stood back and waited for him to come
around"
The dentists Office overlooks one of
the avenues, and the patient in the
chair can see whatever happens in the
street below.
after about q minute" continued
the doctor, 1.-THE intelligence began to
dawn family in his eyes, and then it
came back with pop, and he sat up and
looked at me triumphantly. i suppose
you imagine he said, that l was under
the influence of that gas of yours L
confessed that had suspicion to that
effect. Well said he, you were never
more mistaken in your life. Uncon-
scious Humphl Just let me tell you
that saw the procession. heard what
the bands were playing. l saw the an
imals in their cages. Why, l could even
tell you what was on their banners.

"And would you believe it, although
his gum was bleeding and showed him
the tooth in the forceps, it was some
time before l could convince him that
! had pulled his tooth while he was
dreaming about the circus parade.
