Why Money Was Needed

Young Willie Jefferson, son of the fa- nous Joe is typical Jefferson in habits, manners. looks and wit, relates the Argo- na1lt Some weeks ago Willie was given a nice fat sum out of the savings of his distinguished father, and allowed to go to Europe for the summer. Willie went. One day Joseph Jefferson received a cablegram from Willie, then in Paris:
 Send $500.-Willie."
 The elder Jefferson answered:
 "What for?''
 The reply seemed to arrive almost be fore MT. Jefferson's message was sent. It read:
 ''For Willie"

Fire Protection.

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has recently placed {
large and powerful pump at thei1
transfer wharves at this place.
The pump is connected to system
of large pipes, running under the
deck of the wharves, covering
their entire extend. These pipes
are fitted with seven valves and
hose connections. This pump is
operated by steam from the boiler
used for driving the conveyors and
hoisting apparatus.
On three of these hose cOnnec.
tions are kept permanently con.
nected a section of hose with
nOzz.e attached. This hose is put
up in a frame and covered for
protection from sun and rains.
This arrangement gives the
employees an opportunity Of
extinguishing almost any fire
which may start at any time that
there may be steam in the boiler.
We understand that during the
grinding season, steam is up on the
boiler gauge nearly all the time,
day and night.
This is a good thing and others
may profit by a study of the
system.

Why did be have time to come eu,
ia the 9th ward - often and pass II
front Of the Coteauu school and
never stop! lie has during the 1as,
nine months of school never visited
the Coteau school, and l don't think
he has visited the Francois Segura
school in the above mentioned
time. Never IN his life has he seen
the Pare Perdue school.
Doctor PIerson is also negligent
with the school funds In one respect
namely: That the law requires that
the member of the School Board of
the ward approve on the back of
the monty report of teachers that
they are correct. This Doctor
Pierson has not done IN two
out of four schools in the 5th
ward. Doctor Piereon can not say
positively If those schools were open
he required length Of time daily or
IAN he say if the teacher taught
,wo or Eve days . week; be has
,othlng to show for the money
,ald to them but their unsigned
'eport.
As TO lack of knowledge of school

In the second charge of failure to

ast three months, / have several
easons why did not attend.
'lrst, because l - we'll as Doctor
'ierson expected that the School
|oard would be changed on August
4th, when all School Boards
throughout the State were
hanged. In proof that Doctor
'lerson expected a change see bis
splY to s'Slc Itur'' IN the Weekly |
berlan.)
Therefore. expecting q change In
le board I did not care to appoint
.achers and have them depending
q their positions and then q new
oard come in before the opening OF
le schools and appoint others,
aving. them out when it would
lve been too late for them to get
her positions. Ny second reason
that sitter August 18th, when |
new the same board would remain,
l did not meet with the commit
