Col. Boatner sought and failed
to get the appointment at the hands
Of Gov. Foster to the State supreme
bench when the lamented II. G.
Miller died. He appealed to the
country press and to the bar Of
North Loulsiana to recommend
HIM to Foster for the vacant seat on
the bench, and agreat many editors
and lawyers did SO with earnestness
and emphasis, believing that Col.
Boatner is thoroughly competent
to gil that exalted office. But
Foster preferred another man, and
he appointed him. Now he is
pouring hot grape and h-at
:sFosterism'' because he exercises
the authority Of very car.
The labors of the aggregation
Of kickers which met on the Fourth
Of July, At Rayville, seem to have
fallen still-born. The Democracy
Of this State expect to be led by
Democrats and not by men who

Through sheer lack of anything else

my escape when l happened to notice
Young woman of my acquaintance,

was leaning forward, eagerly drinking
IN every word, and at each prehistoric
Joke and hacllneycd situation she
would shake With uncontrollabc

Coxey's Lieutenant Says People Are
To Busy to 10 to Washington.
Wichita, Kas., Oct. 19.-Carl Browne,
who led Coxey's army into Washing
ton in the second administration of
President Cleveland, arrived here Sat-
urday from Denver with-u- company of
fifteen or twenty men he kastl collected
for second march. In the afternoon
he called a meeting at Garfield hall
here and declared the march off. He
pected to organize 70. the march were
too busy to go into any agitation
scheme and that the class of men he
could get to go to Washington now
would excite only ridicule of the move
ment. He notified some of his men at
Mcpherson, Kas., and Pueblo. Coll,
who were to join him here that the
march would be abandoned.
Browne took text from the prophe-
sizes of Daniel and preached expansion.
Some of his fellows got up and left the
hall. Others stayed and chcered and
took up collection for his benefit.
About 400 hundred people heard his
speech, one-third of whom walked out
when Browne announced that he
would abandon his march and his agi-
tation against trusts and lecture on
the Justice of war for expansion.
Browne Travelled across Missouri and
Kansas last summer securing pledges
of supplies from farmers along the
way for the men who We're to go on

THE sHoPLIFTER's DOG.
1t Proved to he the Undoing of Its
Clever Master.

Baltimore Sun: A fine white collie
with bushy black tail is the hero
together with a Partisan dctective--of
n charming little shoplifting drama
which was begun, continued and ended
sportsmen's waistcoats had been
stolen from a large Partisan Diapers
shop. The suspected thief had been
in the shop for so short a time that
none of the attendants could recall his
appearance, while several remembered
that he had been accompanied by a
magnificent long-haired shepherd dog,
perfectly white, except for his tail,
which was quite black. 1t seemed
hopeless to get on the track of the
thief, when II police inspector discov-
cred among the stray dogs a shepherd
dog answering the description of the
one which had accompanied him of
the bale of waistcoats.
The inspector now made the dog
his constant companion, hoping that
on his tours about the streets he might
one day find the master. Nor was he
mistaken, for one day the dog rushed
with a mighty bound toward an ele-
gantly dressed man descending the
steps of the Hotel du Rhin, together
with two ladies. Both master and dog
were delighted at the meeting, and the
latter followed the party, while at Il
respectful distance the inspector also
moved in the same direction. The
party of three turned into Il Diapers
shop and We're arrested n few minutes
later in the act of lifting" piece of
silk.
1t now appears that these worthless
belonged to a band of thieves, the
head of which, Malizet, has long been
the respectable" inhabitant of villa
at Aubervillers, whence, as whole
sale draper, he sent the stolen goods
all over the country, not infrequently,
MS he told the court with contemptu-
Gus smile, selling goods to the very
diapers from whom they had been
stolen.

TRUST STOCK UNSALABLE.

largely Fictitious.

Capitalization of Great Combines
Largely Fictitious.
New York, Oct. 19.-James r. Keene
has taken gloomy view of financial
conditions and the stock market ever
since the death of Roswell p. Flower.
He is particularly bearish in regard to
the industrial stocks. To Justify his
position Mr.. Keene has issued the fol
lowing statements:
Perhaps even at the present level
of prices a stock might be found here
and there which would furnish fair
opportunity to buyer, were it not for
the enormous increase in the new Sc
curities in the last fifteen months
through the consolidation into trusts
of nearly all the principal independent
manufacturing concerns in every
branch of trade in the United States,
with stock issues of over $4,5OO,0 100000,
half of which may be fairly put down
as fictitious capital.
During this period the increase of
money in circulation i'm the United
States has barely been $14OO00,000, a
sum SO insignificant to finance this
vast creation of new stocks that the
wonder should be not that Wall street
prices have declined, but that they
have not declined more violently.
Few people know how serious have
been the losses to individuals and
firms in and out of Wall street by too
extended underwriting of the issues
of new industrial combinations lately
exploited. 1t is we'll known that with
the exception of the first issues the
bulk of the fotatiohs since have been
failures, bringing with such failures
widespread losses to underwriters and
institutions.
1.-THE stocks of the new combina-
tons, or most of them, are absolutely
unstable, and of course valueless as
collateral.
"When one considers that i'm this
city alone it is conservatiyely comput-
ed that these underwriting commit
ments amount to hundreds of millions
of dollars. with underwriting for mil
lions in Philadelphia, Boston, Balti-
more and Chicago. the tremendous
strain of the situation is revealed

Expression Doesn't Mean Turning
Features Into Facial Acrobats.
Philadelphia Inquirer: Do you want
to head off wrinkles? Then stop maxi
ing them. How?
Take your hand-glass and study IA
cial expression.
Better still, get your nearest and
dearest to tell you when you arc puck
cring up your brows.
When you are lining your forehead
by perpetual jerk upwards.
When you are allowing worry lines
to creep down each side of your mouth.
When you are GROWS feeting" the
corners of your eyes with an eternal
grimace.
You laugh too much.
You scold too much.
You talk too much.
A face lacking expression belongs to
the sawdust doll type.
Let your eyes talk, let the sensitive
culver of the mouth denote feeling,
but for goodness sake give up that
mistaken idea of expression. namely,
turning each feature into facial aero
bat.
Wrinkles are scanning faces that
would be lovely but for this blemish.
They are brought there largely
through carelessness.
Ignorance will bring lines.
So will indifference.
The period has long since passed
when it was considered waste of
time to study beauty books.
Those written today are filled with
intelligent hints.
The writer we'll up on her subject
tells you wrinkles are due to muscular
depletion.
Keep every muscle toned.
Do this with massage.
Keep the skin softened.
DO this with unguents.
\ fabby face is one that never goes
under the manipulation of massage.
The drawn withered complexion is
suffering from lack of toilet creams.
Large pores coarsened by neglect
need the most seductive Of beauty arts.

Tic Song of Destiny,

We are the Children of Events,
From Tampa Bay to Golden Flue:
Swift immigrants that pay no rents.
Rough riders over ditch and fence,
We settle where we pitch our tents
And stick the carmine, white and blue
We are the darlings of events
From Tampa Bay to Golden Flue.
Slouch-hatted. bucklcd up in duck,
We nick the sunset for our own;
We tug and balance nip-and-tuck
The European powder-truck,
But fiout the brownish kind of muck
And disrespect the Torrid Zone.
We are the paladins of Pluck
From Honolulu and Ladrone.
We sniff the SAVIOR of the seas,
Light handed, hearted, prodigal.
Worid-hungry for antipodes;
We scale the Morro-crags with ease
From Philippines to Carribbees,
And shelter in the chaparral.
We sniff the SAVIOR Of the seas,
Light-hearted, handed, prodigal.
The dubious doctors may debate
Why tradewinds travel as they do;
We grip the saddle-faps of Fate
To rise above the hurdle gate,
And have chance to contemplate
From elevated points of view
The doddering doctors may debate
why trade-winds travel as they do.
