Jealous BellbOy.

Jealous BellbOy.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat: A well-known drug drummer,
who is paying his regular holiday visit
to New Orleans, took the train last
Monday evening for a little side trip
to Baton Rouge and in the hurry of
his departure left a handsome bone
handled umbrella hanging on a hook
in the lobby of the hotel 1t was a
tempting prize, but probably every
kleptomaniac who saw it supposed the
owner was seated near at hand. At
any rate, it remained undisturbed and
was still there yesterday when the
drummer returned. by the way" he
remarked, after he exchanged greet
ings with the clerk, I've managed
somehow to lose my new bone handled
umbrella. Have any of you seen such
a thing lying around the Officer" A
quick-witted bellboy heard the ques-
ton and, glazing around, saw the miss
ing article hanging within a foot of his
head. Supposng it had been there for
only rev moments, he promptly
grasped the ferrule. rs this the one?"
he inquired. Yes" exclaimed the
traveller, delighted, "and must say I'm
surprised nobody has nipped itr Jaw,
they couldn't do that" replied the bell
boy, I've been holdin' on to it fer y
ever since y hung it up" The drug
drummer stopped with his hand half
way down his pocket and whimsical
smile overspread his countenance.
well" he said slowly, Il was intend
ing to give you half a dollar, but If
you've been holding that umbrella for
three consecutive days you're more in
need of tonic. Here is a capsule of
quinine and iron" The gloom which
settled down upon the bell bench might

the other hand, in especially favoring
circumstances, a belt might last much
longer. There was taken down in New
York not long ago a leather belt that
has been running twenty-four years;
this, however, was something unusual.
AS is the case with pretty much every
thing that is made and sold, leather
betting may be bought secondhand,
the secondhand belts coming into the
market naturally enough through the
refitting of factories, through the sub
stitution of belts of one width for those
of another. and so on. Secondhand

Great attention has been paid to
having a large number of aisles to
reach the seats, and, in addition to
the principal entrance on the west.
there are provided seven large exits.
These exits are made of sufficient
breadth and height to admit, in case of
need. the largest vehicles or floats, as
it is proposed to use the Stadium for
certain pageants.
The total length OF the Stadium, in
Guiding the building which forms the
entrance. is about SO feet. and the
breadth is about 500 feet.

saw that the sailor wanted the money
he asked for, and SO he handed over
the half dollar and received the lottery
ticket. AS the drawing was to take
place during the captains absence
aboard his vessel, he turned the ticket
over to his agents, with instructions
to look out for the event. A few days
after his departure the drawing took
place, and it was found that the num-
Der on the captains ticket called for
prize of $4,000. The ticket was for
warded to the lottery company, and
the cash has just been received by the
agents and is held for the captain.

In conversation with Hon. Ed

Picayune, Col. G. H. Parker, pres
ident of the Louisiana board of

In this connection it is well to
note the fact that In almost every
new departure vital to the pres

in her new constitution that pointed
the way to all the sisterhood for
the settlement of the suffrage

promote fair voting, intelligent
rule, peaceful elections and the
obIlteration of illiteracy among
both races; it was the Mississippi
