A n THING Is A

New York Journal.
We are all afraid of pain. We are all
afraid of definite disaster.
What is strange and hard to explain is
this:
We are nor afraid of making up our
minds to endure danger than Of the dan
ger itself.
Nichols as Wabbel OF Pittsburg suggests
this train of thought. He Was i'll. An
operation would have cured him and he
was urged to undergo the operation. He
tried to make up his mind to submit to
the surgeons knife, but the fear was
more than he could bear.
Was it the fear of death?
No; apparently it was the fear of max
ing up his mind, for, t avoid the sur
goon's knife, he hanged himself.
\ man with some friends was lost in
the mountains. 1t was necessary to cross
a chasm OF a narrow plank. The others
crossed. lie could not make up his mind
to do So. The others did not want to
leave him. He would not run the risk
or, rather, he would not make up his
mind to run the risk. He blew his brains
out on the far side Of the chasm and his
friends went on without him.
This extraordinary reluctance or inabil-
ity to brace ourselves for a crisis has
| been wOnderingly described bv q great
French writer.
A man had engaged to fight q duel. He
was not afraid Of death-the sequel
proved that. But he could not make up
his mind to 60 out courageously and OK
change shots with his enemy. He
thought. about it and thought about it. At
last he shot himself, to avoid making ur
his mind to give another man a chance t.
do to him just what he did ito himself.
This popularity OF the fear If taking
a strong resolution is worth Your study
if you ever spend time studying the com.
pick human makeup.
There may be some elucidation in this
Before we were thinking men we spcu.
many long years in fighting animals anc
a"cCustoming ourselves more or less TO the
idea Of death.
But the habit of making up our mind:
is practically a recent habit. 1t hal
come to us very late in our development
1t is not yet firmly fixed in our makeup
We sometimes prefer death, to which
heredity has accustomed us, rather thar
the mental effort of determination, which
strains us beyond our powers.

Promised To Keep The Law

Promised To Keep The Law.
When the Sunday Law violatorB
were arranged, last Monday, District
Attorney W. P. Martin stated, in open
court, that, under certain conditions
agreed to by the. persons indicted he
would not bring these. cases to trial.
He said that his duty, as District At
tOrney, he thought, was to see that
the laws were obeyed and to employ
such means as he thought would best
serve to bring about the proper OBJ
Bervance of the laws. In regard to
the violations of the Sunday Law he
stated that the parties under indict
ment had faithfully promised him not
to violate the law again and to re.
port every violation that they heard
of in the future. Mr.. Martin stated
that he had informed the parties un,

tions of the law by them would occur
he would prosecute the party under

YOUNGEST HUSBAND IN THE
WORLD.
Only Eight Months Old, and Welded
to Save $50, 900.

Special to The Philadelphia Record
Pawtucket, r. /, April 5.-Miss Eliza
beth Watrous, of this city, was married
yesterday to an eight-months-old boy
named Carroll, at Binghamton, the cere-
mony being made necessary to save an
estate left by her grandfather, who died
two years ago.
The estate was valued at $50, 900, and
was to go to Miss Watrous provided she
married the male heir. The bride is 10
years old, and has been living with a
Mrs. Carroll. The heir died and the
estate would have passed from her, but
by marrying the baby Miss Watrous
made him the heir, thus securing the
property for herself. The child's parents
gave their consent and the wedding was
duly performed.
Mrs. Carroll now possesses the young
est husband in the world. As the mar
riage was only performed to fill the con
ditipns of the will, it is expected that j
will be annulled as soon as the estate
has beer. settled and Miss Watrous ha
endowed her husband with a share 0
the property.

The Court of Appeals reversed the
decision of the lower court in the
swamp lands suit. The higher court
decided that a person who sells his
cypress trees on his land will have to
continue paying taxes on the timber
as well as on the swamp land. This
decision may be according to the law
on the subject. 1t may be good law;
but it certainly seems poor justice.
The cypress trees in a swamp give to
swamp land nearly all of the value it
possesses. When the owner Of swamp
lands sells his cypress trees the most
valuable portion Of his swamp proper
ty is transferred to another party,
and it would seem that the other
party ought to pay taxes on his trees
in the proportion that the value Of
his trees bears to the total value Iof
the swamp land and the trees.

A meeting of Taxpayers and Representative Citizens will
be held at the COURT HOUSE, in HOUMA, LAY on
Saturday, April 18th. 1901,
at II NJ, for the purpose of promoting the building Of
1.-THE New Orleans, Houma and
North Western Rail Road'

The meeting will be addressed by Mr.. R. W.. Nelson, of
Kentucky, a prominent citizen, largely interested and experienced
in Rail Road business; also by Judge Helm of Kentucky-and by
local speakers in French and English.
The Importance of this meeting concerns the interest and
welfare OF the people of this Parish, to such an extent that, a
very large attendance is expected, and every citizen of the Parish
is urged to be present.
The building of this Rail Road, means the building up of
the Parish OF ~TerrebOnne and the enhancement of Real Estate in
every locality in the Parish.

taken root a firm conviction that
many things are about to happen in
old T~errebonne that will place it on
the broad road of greater prosperity
than it ever knew in even its palmiest
days. This conviction is probably
due to the converging of several
mammoth plans, the fortunate sue
cess of any of which will add materi-
ally to the wealth Of the parish, and
exert an influence on our parish'S fu-
ture prosperity, that is beyond mans
ability to even approximate.
One of these plans is to build an
other railroad from Morgan City
through Houma to a point On the
Texas and Pacific. A meeting called
for this purpose will be held in Houma
to-day, and from the Interest already
manifested in this matter the build
ing of the road may be regarded as
one Of the realities of the not far
distant future.
Another enterprise that has taken
tangible form is that inaugurated by
Nessrs. Wisdner & Dresser to reclaim
vast sections of prairie land in this
parish, by drainage. Their dredge-
boat we learn is now at or near Bayou
Cane in this parish, and the work of
digging drainage canals to drain the
prairie lands will begin at a very early
date. If this scheme succeeds and
many thousands of acres of lands
that are now useless, are made cult
Vable, one can easily imagine the in
crease in the wealth of the parish
E1t will result,
Another project that has reached a
stage of naturalization is the widen
ing and deepening Of bayou Terre-
bonnie. That the bayou will beput in
temporarily good condition for the
oyster and fish business next season is
now assured; and Notwithstanding
the difference of opinion to the con-
trary, it is likely that, if the matter is
properly presented, Congress will
make an appropriation for the per
lament WIDENING and deepening of
bayou errebonne.
Another inspiration for the belief
that Terrebonne has greater things
ahead of it, isothe toIive branch that
the oil seekers are holding out. First
secretly, but now openly, the oil hunt
ers have secured options on a number
Of places in the vicinityo of the natural
gas wells in this parish. The indica-
lions that oil exists in large quanti-
ties somewhere beneath the surface
of our fertile soil, are, we are in
formed, similar to those noticed
around Beaumont prior to the discov-
cry of oil there. So confident are
the oil hunters that oil can be
struck" in this parish that wells will
soon be bored.
This brief review of four great en-
terprises that are in the process of
development shows that there is some
pardonable reason for anticipation to
run riot when one tries to pull back
the curtain of time and take a peep
at the parochial possibilities that the
future has in store for us. ..,

LIVELY TIMES IN KANSAS.

There's always trouble in Kansas,
 and just now the chief trouble there Is
 to find help to harvest the great wheat
 crop According to the Kansas City Journal, the demand for help is so sharp that the old farmers. watch every train that passes through their sections for help They assemble in squads at the depot each morning and evening, and when the trains stop they dash through them looking for people who want to work. It Is a great scramble at nearly every station in the wheat belt. The rush reminds one of foot ball game between two college teams. Out in Pratt county every train is stop ped by the farmers and searched for laborers If man is on the bumpers he is dragged off and put to work. Tn order to be sure that the imported har- vest hands do not leave under cover of darkness the old farmer puts his regu- lar hired man on guard with a Win chester The work of saving the big crop is serious problem with the farmers, and they are not taking any chances Women and children are also being drafted into service. They usu- ally run the binders. On every hand can be seen woman driving from three to four horses to a self binder while the old men and the children are shocking the sheaves.
 Perhaps by and by "the distribution of labor'' will be so well provided for that the Kansas farmers will be able to get help easier than they do now. work If they could get to it.

Manchester before them, put in opera tion like system of liquor fines. They needed the money, they argued, and they saw no good reason why some of the burden of direct taxation should not be lifted from their citizens, as well as from those of Manchester. The Prohibition law could not be enforced, nyWay-Mancheste had shown that and it was better to have a quasi license system, with some pretence of police regulation, than blind pigs" or "boot-legs." Per contra, it was urged in the Manchester meeting, if the law were enforced there, it would be en- forced elsewhere in the State, and the efforts of the radical Prohibitionists throughout the State are to be concen- trated on the Manchester situation
 Same old story. The New Hampshire prohibitionists are having no better luck with their law than the prohibi- tionists in other States where there is a prohibitory law.

MISSIONARY LIFE IN CHINA.

China is a land of uncertainty, and the foreign resident in that land lives, as 1t were, on the edge of slumber-
 ing volcano, In constant dread of an
 overwhelming eruption. We had
 scarcely recovered from the shock of thrilling experience when we began
 to hear disquieting rumors of the
 Chinese having risen against the
 foreigners in other sections of the country. In one such outbreak Q colleague had been foully murdered. The dangerous infection soon spread to the city in which we lived, and almost without warning the storm burst upon us in all its fury. Experience has taught us to be prepared for such emer- sencies, and the day before the mad dened hostile Chinese rabble attacked and ultimately destroyed our home, my wife and l. aided by one or two friendly Chinese, had quietly left the city and travelled several miles across an arid plain until we reached the river when we boarded small native boat which for several days had been kept in readiness for this contingency. Then began @ heart-breaking and never-to- -be-forgotten journey of ten days, days full of unspeakable terror. for the attack. which we knew would mean torture and death.-The Rev. F.

THE NEW PAYING OM1TySSTON.

Much can fairly be and will be ex- pected of the Paving commission which | has just been appointed by the mayor. It's members are Max Adler, Professor E, l., Richards, Colonel Rolin s. Wood- ruff, Thomas I. Kinney and General F. E. Bradley. The law providing for the
 appointment of this commission was
 made for the relief of the people of New Haven who have been groaping
 under a condition of things which has been scandalous, to say the least. The paving deals which have been put through here during tn elast few years haven't resulted in a town meeting, as the Police deal did, but the Police deal was virtuous and economical compared with some of the paving deals, It is high time that an effort was made to change the programme, and the effort is promising one.
 The law under which the new com- mission will act provides that the Court of Common Council shall order upon what streets permanent pave- ment shall be laid and then 1t pro- vides that "said commission shall de- termine what kind of a permanent pavement shall be laid upon the streets so ordered by the Court of Common Council, and they shall make contracts therefor, ana in the manner prescribed by the city charter and ordinances, and do all things necessary to the proper construction of the same"
 Although under this new arrange ment permanent pavements can be ex- travagantly ordered, and perhaps will be, with such a commission as the mayor has appointed they ought not to be extravagantly and improperly made. On the whole the situation Is consid- erably less encouraging to pavement agents than it has been.
