erty upon which options could be secured
including lot of land belonging to the
N. o. Walden estate. The discovery of
direct indications of petroleum is causing
considerable excitement here.

A PRECIOUS hook Recovered.

Professor Day, of the Yale theological
school, recently complained to the police
that his copy of Martin Days famous
'Doomsday Book" had been stolen.
The book was printed in 1913 and only
a few copies are in existence. 1t is one
of the most valuable books in America.
Sergeant Daley, of the detective bureau,
suggested that it might be found in the
collection of stolen books found in the
possession of Rev. James Britain Miller,
the Yale theological school student from
Ypsilanti, Mich, who was arrested last
month. A search revealed the precious
volume lying on the floor of the police
station. Had the book never been re-
covered, the Yale library would have lost
one of its most precious possessions.
Miller is charged with stealing 5000
books.

Lasnnppe-Giving in New Orleans

New Orleans grocers and marketmen
and dealers in fruits and confectionery all
know that lagnappe is required, and they
lay in a goodly store of articles to be Civ
en- away. A little handful goes with ev-
cry purchase, and it is astonishing how
rapidly the barrels of ginger nuts and the
buckets Of candy will melt away. An
expensive custom, one would say, but so
firmly established that no one dares to
resist. Once in a while one finds a gro
Ger who complains rather bitterly to his
confidential friends, but he will not set
the fashion of rebelling. If he did he
would lose his trade, and his customers
would seek out the lagnappe stores with
out delay.
