The Serenade,

1t is the confession of the Young
man himself, a Detroiter who went to
a country village in the state to learn
business in a general store.
Il dote on music. Out there were
some good players and we organized a
string band. / can't perform on any.
thing more difficult than a iewsharp,
but [ was promoter, organizer, con-
ductor and all that, SO they named
the band after me. We never played
for money, but went to the houses of
friends, where we always had pleasant
entertainment, OF took later turns at
serenading. We were out on the lat
ter errand one night when I took the
band to one of the largest and most
~pretentious homes in the town. It
was brilliantly lighted up, and we
played our catchiest selections, but
there was no response. We went
away mad, but finally gave the family
the benefit Of the doubt, and went
back later, but with no better re-
suit.
"Next morning I was busy at the
store when the village physician, an
old school gentleman, came in smil-
ing, lifted his hat and said, Good
morning, doc,' and intimated that [
might send in a bill if I wanted to. I
was ~dumfounded, for a nodding &C.
quaintance was all 7 had with the doc.
tor and the idea Of his being 50 de-
ferential was incomprehensible to me.
There appeared to be a rush of GUS
that morning, and they all
wore a peculiar smile that I could not
interpret. At last I got hold of the
little daily published there. It told
Of the serenade at the big house, con-
with the thanks of the doctor
and the family, and the assurance
that mother and son were both doing

Birmingham, England, is frequently
referred to as the best governed city
in the world. Whether or not that is
true, Birmingham certainly has made
greater progress in municipal social
ism than any other city. Almost
everything is municipalized. 1t was
a pioneer in municipal tenement
houses, markets, slaughterhouses, mu-
seums, art galleries, libraries, indus
trial schools, public laundries and
baths, street-car lines, gas plants, cleo
trio lighting, and draws most of its
revenues from business blocks erected
by the city upon the ground which
was formerly covered with the slums,
and was purchased in order to eradi.
cate them. Municipal sanitation is
probably carried to greater perfection
in Birmingham than in any other city
in the world, and the common council
is now spending 50, OO0, 900 in the
purchase of a farm upon which the
sewage of the city may be utilized as
a fertilizer.

The value Of a newspaper as an
advertising medium consists in
its circulation.
When you can secure tho com.
b1ned circulation Of two papers
for the price Of one, it is money
saved!
"The St. Landry Democrat"
was consolidated on the Sd of
March, 1894, with "The Opelou.

rates have not been increased
while the price Of subscription
has been reduced to 50 a year.

Great Britain has accepted an invi-
tation to take part in a conference
with European powers to consider
measures for the suppression of an
archy, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
but Lord Salisbury c%onfesses that he
has no great hope of a successful out
come. There is no such hope in
sight. Anarchy is a product Of the
conditions existing in Europe, and
until those conditions change it will
continue to flourish. The statesmen
