Society, was clipped from The Re
veille, bright little weekly, pub
lished and edited by the cadets:
The Clay Gibson Literary Society
held its weekly meeting Saturday,
January 7, at the Y. M. c. a. hall.
The attendance was large and
y, ,omisiug. Quite number of new
members were admitted, and there
are prospects of an increased en-
rollment.
The meeting having been called
to order, the president, Mr.. Nc
Bride, ordered the minutes of the
last meeting to be read, which we're
approved and entered on the books.
The regular program for the night
was then taken up, and the orator,
Mr.. Deliham, was first heard from.
He was followed by the declaimer,
Mr.. Foraz, who entertained the au-
dience with an able recitation from
Shakespeare.
Then followed the debate on the
question, lis not expansion con
trary to the principles that underly
our government?' Messrs. Gull
beau and +. Fournet were on the
aft native side, and Messrs. +.
Brnussard and Dnrio, on the mega
tive. The debate was close and
exciting one; both sides were well
supported The negative side, how
ever, seemed to have had the best
Of their opponents from the start
and fairly won the debate. Special
mention should be made of Cadet
Frank Broussar,!, upon whose
shoulders fall chiefly the iaurels OF
the victory Mr F Fournet also
did well on the affirmative side.
During the general debate whlc h
followed, Mr.. S. Baum grew SO elo-
ouent and excited that he was
deemed fairly out of reason; and
the society was put TO a vote as to
whether lie should be retained as a
member of the Clay Gibson, or sent
to the Louisiana Retreat. The ma
sent TO the asylum under the special
care Of Mr.. Bailey.
The meeting was then adjourned.
The Clay Gibson has long recog-
nized the necessity of rival and
sees with pleasure the re organiza-

Labor for Street Working

Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria,
and even our neighbor, Lafayette,
has followed suit, have adopted
new and cheap plan to work and
drain their streets, viz: All tramps
and other persons who have no visi-
BILE means of support, and all dis
orderly persons, instead of being
fined a dollar or two for such offen-
ces, upon trial and conviction by
the mayor are condemned to work
five, ten or fifteen days on the
streets as an admonitory penalty to
leave the town to earn an honest
living. 1t is claimed to be a sure
way of getting rid of loafers and
vagabonds, and a little of that kind
of law would do good in Crowley.
Let our mayor try it awhile any
way as an experimental
Signal
For the information of the muni-
cipal government of Crowley we will
state that the plan to work the
tramps on the streets has accom-
plished one good thing. 1t has rid
the town of a very undesirable eie-
ment. 1t sufficed to put only a
few hoboes at work TIE warning
was enough. If our Crowley friends
will adopt the same plan they will
not get much work out of the tramps.
but they will no doubt get rid of a
lot of worthless fellows.

"After The War"

This truly Southern play, whi III
will be produced at the Opera ouse
on Feb. s must not be confound ID
with many of the war plays that are
now touring the country. There
are no battle scenes, no Cubans, no
Spaniards, and no mock heroic situa-
tions, but story of heart interest,
beautiful dialogue and clean comedy
The plot is intensely interesting and
holds the attention of the audien ce
to the finish. 'sAftsr the War" has
already achieved a distinct success
in the North, and the press has
been most eulogistic in its crit
icisms. An exchange says: "After
the War" is undoubtedly the fin es>
production we have had this season.
1t is a beautiful story well told. Il
is replete with interesting dialogue,
and the audience was spell bound a,
