my friend the clerk was about
Charles l.. Davis, the actor. other
wise known as ALVIN JOslin." He
was in the lobby of the 1t. Charles

Chicago stepped i'll front of him
and looked over his head in
search of an acquaintance. who
he supposed was in the hotel lob

-"cost me $1,000 each. and my
wife has Il trunkful up in our

The Chicago man did not say
much, but that evening. by ar
rangement with the head waiter,
Davis was placed at supper alone
at the table where were several
vacant chairs. Presently seven
men. all commercial travellers, en-
tered the dining room, and each
one had Il large cut glass fruit
dish fastened on his breast, while
glass prisms hung pendant from
each coat and vest button.
SOberly marching to Davis ta-
BILE, the seven men took the va
cant seats. and the Chicago man
entertained the actor with: "Ah,

dish-"cost me $3.000,000. These

$250.000 each. and we have three
car loads like them at the depot
waiting to be sidetracked." Davis
not only changed his table but
went to another hotel.

A Fearless Judge

Opelousas Courier: In all mat
tiers of official duty and private
opinion touching public matters,
Judge Dupre is noted for saying
what he thinks regardless OF conse-
quences to himself. He frowns on
crimes, by whomsoever committed,
and never fails to punish convicts
adequately whenever the public
security and welfare make It incum-
bent on him to pronounce the sem
tence authorized by law.
In illustrating these. facts, his
judicial career so far may be con-
fidently referred to, and further
proof be found in the subjoined
paragraph, taken from his charge
to the Grand Jury of St. Landry:
ssIn conclusion, gentlemen, 1
desire to say that, you are the first
Grand Jury organized under the
present law, which permits the COM
missioners to select you by prefer
ence from among the 800 names,
by them chosen to act as jurors.
"The object Of the law permitting
you TO be thus selected is to give to
the people among the best material
our parish affords, to compose the
grand inquest
s'Having been SO selected, your
course is going to be closeley scru-
by the public who will eX
pect from you fearless execution
Of your duties. Perform these du
ties feairessfy and impartiaffy, re-

ever they appear before upright
men, their guilt being apparent,
they must tremble and need not
hope"

YOU, LET ME DROWN
STAR AND CRESCENT HOUSE,
Lafayette, La, Feb. 20.

STAR AND CRESCENT HOUSE,
Lafayette, La, Feb. 20.
To The Lafayette Gazette:
In reading your editorial criticiz-
ing Senator McEnery's vote on the
ratification Of the treaty with Spain,
1 am reminded like you that 'Sena-
tor McEnery has saved lie Demo
cratic party and the sugar industry
so often that we are inclined to
think he is overriding the job" L
am also reminded of good story
apropos of that vote. 1t was told
during the session OF the last cons
titutional convention illustrative OF
the claims put forward by the Tensas
members. Every time an attempt
was made to reform the rotten
borough system of representation
by which that parish enjoyed almost
ten times the strength she should
have rightfully had IN State con-
ventions, the Tensas members
would fall back upon the services Of
Tensas Democrats in saving the
party.
An old Creole, SO the story goes,
somewhere in Southwest Louisiana,
on the classic banks of the Yer
million, passing along one summer
day happened to be able to save
from drawing a fisherman who had
fallen into the stream. This service
OBJ ,taI
profuse thanks and with an invita-
ton to drink for himself and
friends whenever they would go to
town. The gallant old Creole &C
after bobbed up in company with
his numerous friends. The drinks
were served, for the whilom fisher
man was man Of his word. 1t
did not end here, however. The
old man continued to show up with
painful regularity. He had found
good thing and he had made up
his mind to push it along. But,
like Senator McEnery, he didn't
know when he had enough and he
overdid the job. One fine Christ
mas morning he appeared, his face
oeamng with the spirit of ''peace
on earth, good will to man," and
reminded the townsman that the
time for giving presents had come
and that he was sorely in need of a
new suit of clothes, This was the
hair that broke the camePs back.
The reply was: "All right, old
man. Come into this store and
select the best suit on thu shelves,
but, hereafter, when you see me
about to drown, damn you, let me
drown!"
The reader may make the appli
cation of the story.

Daily States: IL is evident tnat

Philippines will soon realize that the
Filipinos, under cover of their native
iungles and following the tactics of
guerillas which they know SO well,
are more effective as fighters than
when they are ranged in line of bat
tie, armed with poor firearms and
such obsolete weapons as spears,
bows and harrows. The Filipinos
have taken positions in the jungles
on both sides Of the zig river and
the warships, in spite of a heavy fire,
were unable to dislodge them. The

SHOULD BE MADE REGULARS.
WheeIer's Views as to Extra Troops
Under the Army Bill,

Ohuer the army Bill
Washington, Feb 27.-Maj Gen. Wheeler
called at the war department. to-day with
a suggestion looking to the utilization of
the troops to be added to the army under
the terms of the pending reorganization
bill in the regular establishment instead of
in the volunteer branch. The compromise
measure permits the President to recruit
such portion of the 1000 volunteers to be
added to the regular army in time of emer-
gency, from the natives of the islands of
Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines as
he may elect.
Gen. Wheeler urges that these men can
be brought to a much higher state of eff
cheney and be made of greater value to
the military establishment if Incorporated
in the regular army, than if in the volun-
teer branch
The status of Gen. Wheeler himself is
said to be such that he must take some
action toward choosing again between the
army and Congress within a few days
1t is believed at the war department that
if he retains his army commission until
after noon on the fourth of March he will
forfeit his seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives for the ensuing two years, un-
der the ruling of the judiciary committee
to the effect that by holding such a com
mission an officer surrenders his seat in
Congress-. -
