Prompt Payment.

A capital story is told of an old
Methodist minister who believed
in improving every opportunity to
''sow the good seed"
Travelling along country road
one day, his horse lost a shoe, and
the minister stopped at the next
blacksmith's shop to have the
damage repaired. Several loafers
were about the shop. The minis
ter told them who he was, inquired
their names and occupations, and
had CHEEKY talk with them.
When the horse was shod lie
asked what he was to pay and the
blacksmith said carelessly, "Oh
nothing; just remember me in your
prayers.
Every well,r said the minister,
promptly. GAS my motto is, pay
as you go I'll just settle the bill
now.
Down on his knees he went and
the loafers and the blacksmith fol
lowed his example willingly or re
luctantly. The fervent Methodist
prayer was both comprehensive
and practical, and at it's close the
mounted his horse and
rode off, carrying with him the
hearty good will of his congrega-

COMMENTS OF VARIOUS PAPERS
IN THE STATE.
On New Iberia, it's people and the
manner in which the Louis
lana Press Association was
received.

Mr.. L. r. Gremillion and two
sisters Misses Anne and Marie re
turned home last Saturday even
ing form New Iberia, where they
had gone to at ttend the meeting of
the Press Association. They re-
port having had a grand time, and
speak volumes of praise in favor
of the good people of that town,
Tor the many courtesies and acts
OF kindness extended to them dur
ing thier short stay in the beauti-
ful Teche country.
While down there al the mem
bers of the Press visited the Avery
Salt Mines about 10 miles from
New Iberia, where they were en-
tertained in princely style by Mr..
Avery and family. They were
shown in detail everything pert
aiming to the mines, and the differ
ent processes by which the rock
salt as taken from the mines, is
converted into different grades un-
til it is ground and reduced to fine
table salt. They were then taken
on an elevator, down into the
mine to depth of 525 feet below
the level of the sea. Not feeling
at home down there, they asked to
be taken up again where they
could enjoy sunlight again

Trying to be Pleasant.

He had read somewhere that the
surest mark of gallantry and good
breeding is pOliteness to the aged
SO when dinner was announced
and nobody seemed to be making a
rush for the honor of escorting the
beautiful Cordelia's grandmother
to the table he turned from the
younger ladies, determined to show
that he was well aware of the first
duty of a gentleman.
The sweet old lady beamed upon
him as she took his arm, and her
grandson, the fair COrdelia's
brother, gave him look of undis-
guised approval.
After they were seated he felt
that he ought to say something;
but he couldn't think of anything
that seemed to be worth discuss
ing with a lady 75 years of age.
If she had been Cordelia he would
have had thousand things to say.
As it was, there was nothing that
he could turn into an excuse for
engaging her attention.
The others were laughing and
chatting, but Cordelia, who was at
the opposite side of the table was
furtively watching him. He must
not let her discover that he was
bored. He must show her that he
found it a pleasure to sit beside her
grandmother.
He became desperate. Turning
to the still beautiful old lady he
asked merely for the purpose, be 1T
understood, of getting some sort OF
a conversation started:
"Do you believe in the theory
that the good die youngs"
He has now abandoned the
theory that it always pays to be
polite

A Texas negro owes his present
right to liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness to a sojourn in jail. He
was apprehended on charge of
hog-stealing and committed to Jail
pending trial. At the time of his
arrest, says Law Notes, he was a
lanky; raw, boned specimen, but
during the period of his incarcera-
ton he waXed to fat and improved
so greatly in personal appearance
that when, at the end of two
the day set for the trial
came around. none of the witnesses
were able to swear he was the
man who stole the hogs.

Members of the Isthmian canal
Commission have verbally told the
Senate Canal Committee, before
which the bill now is, that they
| favored the Nicaragua route, but
their report will not be completed
for several months. The newest
scheme of delay is for the Com
mittee to grant hearings to the
officers and directors of a new
Panama Canal Company. Mean
while the Congressional leaders
are figuring on adjournment early
in June and working toward that
end.
IF attention from officials and
members of both branches OF Con
gress means popularity, Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt is the most
popular man who has been in
Washington for many months,
as he certainly received more at
tention during the three or four
days he has been in Washington
than has been paid to any other
man since this Congress met, and
the attention he received was not
from members OF any one political
party,
This week will show whether it
will require a fight to get a vote
on the Clark resolution in the Sen
ate, as Senator Chandler has given
notice that he intends trying to
keep the resolution before the Sen
ate. when it comes up under the
agreement,un a vote is taken.
The split in the opposition to
the shipping bill, indicated by two
minority reports has revived talk
about pushing the measure through
before adjournment, but the
chances are against any action at
| this session.
