A Long Credit

A discharged soldier. lately re-
turned from the Philippines, tells a
tale of a shirt which is too good to
be lost. His company was returning
from long and tiresome scouting
trip, in which most of the men had
parted with the greater part of their
wearing apparel, when he saw a
clothesline in the grounds of resi-
Edence adjoining a big stone church.
two very good shirts. hung out to
dry. AS he had at the time only half
shirt on his back, he proceeded to
help himself to a whole one. Where
upon q woman came out of the house
and said to him, in passable English:
i~sYou will pay for that on the iudr-
lment day" Madam" he replied. IF
you will give such long credit, will
take both shirts" which he proceed
ed to do."-San Francisco Argonaut.

Is the Queen a Royal o,Co.por,

The queen is of the old Irish royal
strain. She is not only a Guelph and
Stuart, she is one of the royal O'Con-
nors. The last Irish sovereign of the
whole island was Roderick O'Connor.
HIS sons were slain. bis daughter
married Hugo de LACY. Their daugh-
ter married De Burgh. earl of Ulster;
from them descended Ellen, wife of
Robert Bruce, king of Scotland. The
granddaughter of Robert Bruce, Prin-
cess Margery, married the lord high
steward of Scotland, and through her
the Stuarts claimed the Scottish crown.
From thence it Is easy to trace how
the royal blood of Ireland, Scotland
and England meets in the person of the
reigning Queen Victoria.-Irish Tour

In all the worlds fighting men
there are none more celebrated for
dash, daring and skill than Uncle
Sans artillerymen who operate
those death dealing cyclones, known
to the world as gatling guns. They
are a product of American inventive
genius. They are among the most
deadly weapons of to day, and the
old style cannon requires the most
daring acts of horsenanship in
their operation. Only few, COM
paratively speaking. ever see and
fully appreciate these deadly s'dogs
of war;" An opportunity will be
afforded for our citizens to see the
flower of Uncle Sans Artillery
operate these guns at Buffalo Bills
tfWild West" which visits us IN a

most imposing and instructive ever
placed before the public. The
manipulation of the old muzzle can
mons will be given as an especially

Invest Your Money.


A small sum of money laid by
once a week accumulates at a sur.
prisingly rapid rate at compound
interest. and a well-invested safety
fund gives a man or woman con-
tentment in the present and conf
dence in the future.
A few shares of stock in the La
fayette Building Association will
enable you to put aside a few dol
lars each month without being bur-
densome to you-the payments are
small and the interest is large.
If you would like to own your
own home this association will build
or buy one for you, aud you can
pay back the association in mod
crate weekly or monthly installments
much more than you are now
paying for rent.
Now is a good time to join the
Lafayette Building Association, as
a new series of stock has just been
opened. You can get full particulars
by calling on, or writing to, d.
Schwartz, the secretary, or S. r.

ST. M rtinville last Tuesday was a
social function of unusual brilliancy.
A large number of friends and
acQuaintances Of the young couple
assembled at the Catholic church to
witness the ceremony, at which
Rev. Father Mouret officiated. At
$500 in the evening. by the bea utiful
strains of Lohengrin's wedding
march, the bride proceeded down
the aisle of the church. accompa-
MED by her father, Judge James E.
Mouton. Thee followed the brides
maids, Misses Irma Mouton, Anita
Berard aud Alice Fleming, and the
groomsmen, Ed ward Thomas, Louis
Guilard and George Livingston.
The groom awaited their coming at
the altar.
During the ceremony Gounod's
Ave Maria was sung with splendid
effect and with exquisite sweetness
of voice by Mrs. Lorena Simon.
The bride, who was attired in
white satin covered with organdie
and chiffon, was the picture of
sweetness and gentleness. The
maids wore toilettes of yellow, pink
and blue organdie and were ad-
mired for their loneliness and
beauty.
An elegant reception was rendered
to over one hundred guests at the
home of the bride, where the true
hospitality of the Southern home
prevailed to the fullest measure.
There, amid a flow of wine, wit and
song, the health and happiness of
the happy pair was the theme of
several eloquent toasts.

Judge Dupre said in his speech at
Falk's hall that the Democratic
party was so bad that even The
Gazette was censuring it. Not so,
judge. The Democratic party is
all right. The Gazette has found
fault with the action of certain
members of the party. We do not
swallow thing merely because it
happens to be labelled etDemoc-
racy." Democrats do not believe
in Intellectual serfdom. A Demo
crat may criticize leaders of his
party without being considered a
hereto. It is hard for a Republi-
can to understand this. A Repub
lican is not permitted to do his own
thinking. He must have unques-
tioning faith IN the divine word Of
Mckinley, who gets his inspiration
from the trusts through their only
begotten son, Marcus Aurelius.
Democracy is broad minded and
abhors enslavement of the mind
and we'll as of the body. Republi.
canism is the party of force and
bribery. Those it can not coerce
1t would bride. 1t breaches Chris
tianity in the Philippines but prac-
tees the gunpowder gospel. Under
the leadership of Bryan the De-
mocracv encourages independence
of thought and admires freedom Of
speech. Under the bossim of
Hanna Republican is a sort of
automaton which registers the will
of its boss.
