II NE w OCTOPUS.

Every young legislator who wants
to carve his name on the highest
pinnacle OF fame generally starts
out upon an ambitious career with
ferocious determination to lay his
pious hands upon the throat Of
some hideous actopus and strange
it to death. The only trouble that
our youthful law-giver may en-
counter in his struggle for fame is a
paucity of octopi. If he is fortu-
. nate enough to find the right kind
of monster his future is assured.
Here is where the genius of the
budding statesman is brought into
play. There was, for instance, the
lattery octopus upon whose back
several bright Louisianians have
ridden to dazzling eminence. Rob
Der tariffs, railroad corporations,
land syndicates, oil and coal trusts
and other Ubiquitous combines have
afforded golden oppo1 tunities 70
ambitious youths to lnscribe their
cognomens in the annals of imper-
ishable fame.
We repeat that the only danger to
the hopes and aspirations of the
octopus hunter lies in his inability
to locate the monster. When that
is done all he has to do is to exter-
inmate it and the plaudits of pos
terlty are his. ..-
The decision of the Tangipaboa
gentleman to introduce a bill to cut
down the emolumsnts of the, coun-
try editor must have been the result
OF much serious thought along this
line of reasoning. The country edi
tor is one of the few remaining oc
topi which threaten the liberties of
the people and Representative Will
son has made Up his mind that he
too must join the army of dead oc
topi. No doubt Mr.. Wilson has
reached this conclusion after look
editors who have grown fat and
sleek at the public crib. We have
always believed 1t a poor policy for
country editors to exhibit their
plethoric bank accounts and to
spend the summers with their fam
lilies at fashionable resorts. All
this display of wealth was well cal
culated to arouse the dormant sus-
picions of the reformer. Mr.. Will
son IS one of those who believe in
checking the aggressions of wealth
and the large number of millionaires
among the country editors has
caused him to turn his attention to
a rapidly growing and heretofore
unknown evil.
Mr.. Wilson, The Gazette salutes
you! You are a statesman!

DR.. Fred ]. Mayer, of Opelousas,

bill to establish State Bureau of
Hygiene to promote the advance
ment of sanitary science, the es
Establishment, OF hospitals for conta-
gious and infectious diseases and
for the restriction and prevention of
tuberculosis and -charbon. The bill
seems to be drawn along practical
common sense lines, and it's objects
have been endorsed by various
medical and sanitary associations
througho out the South, as well as by
many Of the most eminent scientists
of the country. DR. Maver has de-
voted much time and study to Hy-
giene and sanitary problems, and
his bill is the result of deep re-
search and of careful study of
the best methods prevailing in this
country and Europe. Ex-Speaker
Henry has charge Of the measure in
the House, and with his well known
energy and ability he will doubtless
make many friends for the BILL

Pie in New England is served in
many queer ways, especially the king
of all pies, the royal mince. Not long
ago there appeared a sign in the sta
ton az staid, crooked and correct Bos-
ton, q sign bearing the strange device,
Hot mnce pie and ice cream" This
IS a mild combination compared with
one that was served In this city at
midnight supper. A welsh rarebit was
being made, and there were some who
did not care to eat it on crackers. No
toast in the house, for 1t was the fires
evening out. A mince pie was found
lurking in the ice chest and pressed in
to service. The rarebit was spread
over the pie and both vanished in
short time Those who ate are still
afraid in the dark, for they can mag
inc that the same things are coming
for them again as during their dreams
Of that wild, weird night A local min
lister tells a pie story on himself that is
a "coGker." He Is a delicate man, and
his wife was down on pie for him and
vetoed it for family use. Once he went
to a convention in Pittsfield and a din
ner was served at which there were
seven kinds of pie. The minister took
"a little Of each, please, and never en-
joyed himself so much in his life.
tl,o
the pie belt of New England have been
copied, and new things added to go in
side the pie crust. The south has its
yam pie, which is not a bad dish by
any means, and in many a home it is
served three times a day. while the peo-
pie poke fun at the staid offspring of
the Pilgrims for eating pie in the same
manner
Pie-eating contests have been held
about here, and some great records
have been in crawling outside of pies.
Then the pie has fallen into disgrace
and been fried by our bakers. The
tiny saucer pies are quite the thing
with the children, and every child
knows the joy of small pie all to it.
SELF while the groWn-ups fought over
the quarter sections of the big trouble. 4
Pie in the pie belt is a sad reality as
far as health goes, and some of these
days the pie fend will be held up as
an awful example, Just as the opium
eatersis to-day But the glory of good
old New England rests with her strong
and Weighty men and her still stronger
and more Weighty pie crusts and all
that in them lie.-Springfleld (Mass.)

Keeper Snyder threw a blanket over
the head of the biggest python, and
retreated to the smaller door. There,
awaiting his chance, he grabbed the
hooded monster just behind the head,

err keepers were waiting outside, and as
each foot or two of the serpent was

and pulled it further out of the cage.
While this was being done the two

coils of the great CONSTRUCTOR, and
though in peril of being Immediately
enwrapped and crushed they success

the utmost strength of eleven men to
hold the snake, which weighs over 200
pounds, in a comparatively straight
line, though aided by pressing it
against the wall.
Another keeper, by the aid Of long
bamboo pole, pushed four freshly Kill
