Ladiea' Home Journal.

The March Ladies' Home Journal has
a noteworthy feature in the page show
iDg"Pope Leo XIII as He Lives in the
Vatican" The pictures were made by
the only photographer who has been ad-
mitted to the Vatican for II number of
years, consequently they offer the first
close view the public has had in Il long
time of the Pope and his surroundings.
An artist that will be widely read fig
nres out "The American Girls Chances
of Marriage" and another, Social Life
in Americas French City," gives a
really charming glimpse into the ex-
elusive Creole circles of New Orleans.
"The Most Wonderful Musical Festi-
val in America" recalls the great Peace
Jubilee held at Boston in 1872, with it's
seventeen hundred instrumentalists
and chorus Of seventeen thousand
Churches Decorated for Weddings
"The Prettiest Country Homes in
and Fifteen Good Mantels and Fire
graphs submitted 10 the contest for
Journal prizes. "In Natures Garden"
pictures and describes our wild flowers
so their Identification will be easy. The
article is by Nellie Blanchan and is the
first Of Il series.
On his editorial page Edward Box
pays deserved tribnte to his late assO-
ciate editor, Isabel A. Mallon, who also
wrote for the Journal under u pseudo
nym of Ruth Ashmore." As a matter
of course considerable space is given to
Easter hats and frocks, etc, all illus
trated from original designs. Besides
the concluding chapters of "The Girls
of Camp Already" and the experiences of
THE Jamesops in the Country" there
is an excellent short story, "The Touch

Public roads are neatly all impas

Nearly everyone in this section il
suffering more or less with bad colds.
A ball was given at the schOol-houst
Friday night by Ed Wolff and San
Thomas.
Farmers are at a loss what to do; the
ground is so wet they cannot work.
Col. r. B. Walker, Capt. Sam Haas
bOok-keeper has been quite sick fOl
two weeks, but is now recovering. His
brother, II. L. Walker, of Loyd's Bridge,
was with him two or three days last
week.
The old "War Horse" and veteran,
Cant. Sam Haas, wrestled with a case
of Grippe last week, and when business
called him to Opelousas, he knocked
the Grippe out and went to town. The
| Captain is surely "hard stuff" as moth
ing stops him when he says go.
Now boys, 60 slow on politics. IT'S
a long, long time off, and it's useless to
waste so muci, good time when you
could be otherwise employed.
Ed Wolff seems to be very popular
among the young ladies here. At the
ball given at the school house, Ed was
again the belle of the ball.
Lon Antonio, Of Washington, came
up on Sunday night, and will keep
books for Capt. Sam Haas.
Mr.. johnson, Of Pine Prairie, informs
your correspondent that during the re-
cen cold spell he had 90 sheep in his
pasture and all died but two.
Capt. Haas arrived from Opelousas
Sunday evening. Reports roads bad,
and as the little boy says, getting
wOrser.
Ed"W" says Opelonsas has no charms
for him. Wonder what has come over
the boy.
Major Frank Wharton left Monday
evening for Grand Prairie witt. / drove
of mules and horses.
On Saturday morning, Feb. 25th.
about 1870 a. M, a negro by the name of
Isaiah Williams killed another negro
by the name Of Ransom Firth, shooting
him only once with a a8 S. & w. pistol,
the ball entering his left breast, killing
him instantly. The negroes met after
a play, when FRITZ, asked William if he
was the man he vas the night before.
Williams answered by drawing his pis-
toll with above results, and after shoot
ing, walked off. The negro Williams
was caught at Vile Plate by Buck God
frey, 10 old man and two OR three others,
celOred. He was accompanied by
two other colored boys.
Constable Wolff left on Sunday morn
ing with three prisoners for Opelousas.

work, with its twenty-four pages litlo-
g1aphed in %colors, and nearly one hun
dred more pages filled with handsome
half-tone illustrations, photographed
from Flowers, Fruits Vegetables and

While this Guide is really too expen-

is the doing away with the old packet
of Vegetable Seeds and stating the
quantity in each case, the buyer getting

many, many years ago Mr.. Kimban also
told one of the most affecting episodes in
Mr.. Moodys life. Mr.. Moody's mother
for many years never sanctioned her sons
choice of the pulpit as his life work. She
was member of a non-evangelical church,
but it would seem from the story that
her conversion was left to be accom-

er even heard her son preach until long
years after he was world renowned. In
1915 he returned to Mortified to preach
shortly after coming back to America
from one of his great London successes.
The family still lived on the old farm
and drove to town to Sunday meeting just
as they used to do years before. Most of
the members of the family were going to
drive to town that morning to hear

by saying, ''I don't suppose there would
be room in the for mo

unbending and going to hear Dwight. "Of
course there'll be room, mother" said the
daughter, and the mother was taken down
to church with the rest.
Mr.. Moody preached from the Fifty-first
Psalm and preached with a fervor that
was probably mostly inspired by the pres
ence of his mother. When those who wish

Moody stood up. The son was completely
