Everything around the prem
ises of our citizens should be kept
as clean as possible. This is not
only precautionary measure, but t
eminently proper, and in place OF
creating alarm should have a
reassuring effect not only upon
our citizens but those of the sur
rounding country as well. Ihe
severe character of the past winter
should cause us not to apprehend
any trouble with fever germs, but
that thould not prevent us from
assisting the authorities IN get
ting things in such clean shape
that no disease could live.

OF ST. LANDRY, La, APRIL 20. 1899
READY FOR THE FRAY.

The political pot Is billing
In st. Landry as of old,
a I'd the Outskirt boys are "spiiiug,
That their tale should now be told
They are making their selection
F,Om the town and country, too,
For The parochial election,
AS they are early known to do
Well, tlelr's is onr opinion
If race is coming on,
AS illluck's in indeclsion
Aud poor spirit. as you're born.
But we haven't the combination.
That would furnish lis with light
From the present administration,
Or their opponents i'll the fight.
Hence, reluctantly we're silent
Till the bosses tell us more,
When suddenly We'll get virulent
And let vile sIander go.

The Ways of the World.

The more a man has, the more
he wants-unless it happens to
be twins.
A man always puts his best
foot foremost; u mule puts his
backward.
Most men are ready and willing
to die for their country-of old
age.
Man is incorrigable. He swears
he will give up a bad habit and
then keeps on swearing.
After man came woman,-and
she has been after him ever since.
The most curious thing in the
world is a woman who is not GU
rious.
An echo is the only thing that
can film fam a woman out of the
the last word.
1t is considered bad form for
a gentleman to sit down first
when calling on young lady
but. under certain circumstances
he has to.
