Obituary.

Died, at her home in Bossier
parish, near Ansel, La, Mrs. Ida
Cason, wife of E. E. Cason, of
rheumatism and abscess.
Mrs. Cason was born in Bien-
vile parish, La, on December 6,
1868. She moved with her par
ents to Bossier parish, near Red
Land, where she spent her girl
hood days. Was married to E. E.
Cason January Is, 1884; moved
to her home, near Ansel, where
she has ever since resided until
her death, April 10Th, 1900.
She leaves a husband, six chill
dren, a mother and two brothers;
also, many relatives and friends,
to mourn her loss. She joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in her fourteenth year, and
was a faithful follower of Jesus.
Looking up at her husband in
her last hours, she said, ''Do not
weep for me. am only going
home" Blessed words! How
it must cheer the heart broken
family.
AS a companion, she was ever
devoted to her husband; as a
daughter, always dutiful; as a
sister and friend, faithful.
Weep not, dear friends, for the
dear one is in heaven. She was
met at the ''beautiful gate" by
her little son, Walter, her father,
her sister, and many other loved
ones, who have gone before.
At last! at last! the glad mo-
ment came, and on the Eternal
shore stepped the ransomed soul,
free, forever free.
Husband, children and friends,
look up! Look up without sor-
row. For surely she has won he1
right to crown in victory, and
will be watching and waiting fol
us.
The bereaved ones have the
sincere sympathy of relatives ane
friends in their sad hour of be-
reavement.
JOSIE B. CAsoN.

In Memory Of Little Blanche Matlock

Died, near Carterville, La, on
May 5, of pneumonia, Blanche
Matlock, aged 2 years, Z months
and 2 days, daughter of strande
and Maggie Matlock.
Little Blanche was a bright lit
tie flower. She had a sweet, low
ing and kind disposition-one of
Gods angels, destined to make
home cheerful. It is hard to part
with one we lone SO dearly; but
God doeth all things well, and He,
perhaps, only gave little Blanche
a being into the world to remind
us of the purity of life and the
beauty of holiness.
Dear parents, grieve not, for
she is only rescued from the trials
of life, and has been transferred
into q little angel, to rejoice
around the throne of God, waiting
with outstretched hands to well
come the many thousands of other
little angels that are daily enter
ing the portal gates, and she no
doubt will be among the number
lowering around your dying bed
side to escort your spirit to its
final resting place.
GA precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
| The boon His love has given,
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven"
| A FRIEND.

To the Citizens Of Bossier Parish ;

The report having been circu-
lated that the citizens Of Benton
were in favor of the removal of
the parish site to Bossier City, we
take this method of refuting the
same. While we do not question
the laudable ambition of our SIS
ter village to secure the removal
of the Court House to her domain,
we hereby give them notice that
we will use all honorable means
to defeat their scheme, and we do
not believe the good people of this
parish will by their votes, sacrifice
our homes and firesides under the
conditions that now exist.
With confidence in your fair
ness and justice,
Your obedient servants,

Love laughs at locksmiths. The
adage is illustrated by an interesting
fact which has Just been disclosed In
connection with the attempted escape
Of Boer prisoners from the British
warship in Simon's bay. The three
young men tried to get ashore by
swimming, assisted by swimming
belts. How did they come by these
articles? They were not the big cum
bersome life belts found aboard ships.
but small patent things which can be
carried in an unexpanded condition In
the pocket. The secret is explained by
the circumstance that one OF the three
prisoners had q sweetheart This
young lady happened to come to Cape
Town with her father before the war
broke out In order to make pleasure
trip to Europe. When her lover was

Expand the cavity of the chest to Its
full extent by raising the ribs. thereby
allowing air In abundance to stream
into the lungs. When at the height of

OF the chest Is reached. and 1t should
be maintained for moment. Then the
ribs should be allowed to rccede slowly
but completely, so that the cavity of
the chest becomes narrowed and the
air is expelled. In this way inspira-
tion and expiration should alternate
regularly. The inspiration should take
place chiefly through the nose. with the
mouth shut.
A cold plunge can be borne only by
the robust, and cold plunge before
breakfast should be taken by none but
the very vigorous. Cold baths should
never be taken when the body is ex-
hausted. Elderly people should not

may turn on cold water, thus gradually

for these button-up- -the-baek waists is
to have the front entirely of tucking

only semblance of yoke is tho one

full front waists are tucked and plated
to correspond with the front. There
are stiff linen cuffs, with rounded cor
ners and detachable collars. which can
be discarded altogether for the more
becoming stocks, and long silk scarfs
tied twice around the neck.

himself threatened on all sides, knelt
down and prayed to God for mercy.

the devil escape SO cheaply." he dealt

Tho minister tells the story himself.
He had been called upon to attend the
funeral of wife and mother. and
coming home from the grave he rode
In the carriage with the bereaved hus-
band. The latter had made no remark
for some time. and the Clergyman felt
that 1t was his duty to offer some con-
ISOLATION to the lonely mourner. and he
was turning over in his mind appro-
pirate words when the man began to
speak slowly and thoughtfully. "She
was good woman" he said; ''she
took good care of my house. she took
good care Of my children. and shs
darned my socks.r Then he drew .
long breath. and concluded with more
smphasis: But never liked her.
