A BACHELORS REFLECTIONS,

If men Wore their watches
like women do. they'd have to
nail Il shelf where women don't |
have to.
If Il girl can't End any other
excuse for getting married she'll
say she ought to do it because
her angel mother did it,
Maybe a man wouldn't want
pockets either if lie had such
convenient places inside his
clothes to put things, as a
woman has.
a woman calls it u thrilling
adventure when she talks
through her bedroom door with
Il man she, doesn't know wheth.
er she trusts or not.
If a girl knows how to darn
stockings and make chocolate
candy she never has any doubts
about her fitness to be.the moth.
er of nine children.
One way Il woman has of MAX
ing Il man feel sorry for what
he has said is to sit down sud-
denly in the wet grass and then
ask him If he isn't ashamed of
himself for making her do it,
What one ,woman thinks about
another woman's legs would
make man study anatomy for
his lifetime without discovering
how it was possible they could
be like she says they are.
AS soon as Il woman finds out
that the man she wants to love
Eer is beginning to love her she
acts like there was some mys.
ferrous barrier to prevent his
| loving her the way she wants
: him to love her.
If women were as keen about
knowing when they don't love d
man but think they do as they
are about knowing when a man
loves them but doesn't think he
does they would never MARI J
anybody.

New ORLEANS, July 22.-Five Sic;l.

the river. The dead are:

The five victims were strung up to
trees for supposed connection with
plot to murder DIR. Hodges, prominent
physician of the place, who Thursday
was shot and fatally wounded by one of
the Sicilians. In addition to this several
acts of lawlessness that have occurred

men are believed to have families in
Europe. Quiet was restored immedi-
ately after the lynching and the grand
jury began an investigation Of the affair,
but because of the feeling against the
men it is doubtful if action is taken
against members of the mob.
For several weeks herd of goats be-
longing to Frank Defatta had been

the night of the 10Th DR.. Hodges shot
one Of the goats on his gallery.
About shutdown Thursday DIR. Hodges
passed Joe Defatta's store. Charles De-
fatta was there and jumped up and said,
"You shot my goat" and struck the
doctor, who attempted to repel the at
tack. Finding the Siciian too much
for him, he tried to draw his pistol, and
Joe Defatta, at the door, pulled double
barreled shot gun and fred two shots at
the doctor, giving him mortal wound
| At the crack of the gun Frank De-
fatta, Sy and John Cereno, who were in
Defatta's store on Front street, started
on run to Joes store with shot guns
and long knives in their hands. Court
was in session, and large crowd Of
country people with the sheriff and his
deputies joined in the chase, and arrest
ed and disarmed Frank Defatta, Deber-
roch and Cereno, after hard struggle.
Cereno made lunge at one of the crowd
with one of his knives and was knocked
down by bystander. The hanging

Americas Prescription of Them Voted
Down at The Hague.
The HAGUE, July 2s.-At the plenary
session of the peace conference yester-
day, expanding bullets occupied the
major part Of the sitting.
Mr.. Andrew d. White, Of the United
States delegation, made an important
speech in opposition to prohibition of
such bullets as the dunn dunn, especially
when it would not prevent the use of
another such bullet, which had already
been invented.
Captain Crozier, the military member
Of the United States, proposed bullets
should be prohibited which infiict un-
necessarily cruel wounds, such as ex-
explosive bullets; but this was rejected
by a vote Of IS to 8. The eight countries
voting for Captain Crozier's proposal
were the United States, Great Britain,

ately proceeded to Rathbun, Ia, where
they went to work in the coal mines, on
the ground that they were alien con-

Hungary to come to this country under

ing to hand for large shipments for yard
stock, numerous orders having been re-
ceived this week calling for lots of from
thirty to fifty cars. The mills. however,
evinee no great desire to load up with
these orders and this condition of affairs
q the best evidence that both dealers and
manufacturers feel that another advance
Is inevitable, and that it will come right
soon.
There is a marked Improvement in the
demand for export material, and II Is al
most a daily occurrence for inquiries and
orders to be received at the mills here.
There seems to be u tendency on the part
Of smaller buyers in England to place
their orders direct instead OF buying In
Liverpool or London, as has been the GUS
tom formerly, and for this reason large
demand has sprung up for small sailing
vessels to accommodate this class OF car
goes SO great has become the demand
for these vessels that freight rates on
sailing vessels of 100000 and 10000 feet
capacity have advanced even beyond the
rate required for steamers. In addition TO
the increasing demand for material Tor
foreign shipment the call for yellow pine
from this section for shipment to North
Atlantic ports is also on the Increase,
while the same conditions will apply to
Cuba and Mexico. There Is every reason
TO believe that lumber shipments through
Sabine Pass during the present year viii
be largely in excess OF those OF last year,
which were the best In the. history OF that
port. The mills at Orange are constantly
increasing their facilities for taking care
Of this business and are keeping pace with
the increasing demand
What has been said OF the export de-
mand is true as applied to railroad bust
ness. There is good demand for rail-
road nnatarial of all kinds and the mills
here have had ample opportunity to load
up on all this class of business they
could take care OF for months to come,
contract too heavily for yard stock, they

this material will be included In the gen.
eral advance, whose coming is forecasted
as an absolute certainty.
All the mills have enough business on
hand to warrant them in operating their
plants at night, but they nave learned
wisdom from past experience and DO not
propose TO be swallowed up In the gull OF
overproduction that in former years mas

Winter weather causes catarrh. Every

to cure a case of catarrh in the winter
