It is probably true that almost
every man has in him certain quail
tiles which would draw some woman
to him, but it is difficult to frame
a statement in general terms "Wha
Women Like in Men," This is the
task which very well-known au-
thor under the non-de-plume OF
RAFFoRD PIKE, has undertaken IN
the COSMOPOLITAN for July in a
clever essay, which proves him to
have made woman the subject OF

hensive study. The foreign GIRL

with whom she will be happy, the

MIR. Justice Provosty.

The Governor on Saturday, Mar.
10th, announced his selection for the
vacancy on the Supreme bench caus-
ed by the death of Judge L. B.
Watkins.
Never before in the history of the
ste tie, was there a more careful and
through hearing of all the claims and
qualifications of those whose names
had been presented for this exalted
position. Testimonials and recon-
%mendations come not alone from the
Third Supreme Court district, but
from every parish in the state, md
every bar expressed its judgment and
wishes,
There was a most splendid and
brilliant array Of names from which
the Governor was TO make a choice.
The list comprised such well known
and highly honored men and able
lawyers as, Mr.. Carver md Cunning
ham of Natchitoches, Judges An
drews, andHunter of Rapides, and Nj.
Pujo of Calcasieu. All had their
earnest and enthusiastic friends and
hackers, but the contest was n of
the most dignified and good tempered
that an executive ever had to deter
mine. Not a detraction was suggest
ed from a single name, by an oppo-
nent. The friends as each were
content to base Their claims upon the
merits and abilities of those whose
names they presented.
Nor is it believed that a sting of
any kind remains after the decision
has been made, for the result is
known to be the conscientious judg-
ment of an honest man.-Baton

The Buffalo Rice Kitchen.

One of the greatest achievements
of the day in a commercial line is
promised as the result of the opening
of a rice kitchen at the Pan Ameri-
can Exposition at Buffalo. The
Rice Growers Association of America
has taken upon itself the task OF
carrying out the plan of preparing a
cooked food of which rice is to be the
chief ingredient in many paltable
forms in order to educate as it were
the many thousand who visit the ex-
position, to full and proper knowledge
of the uses of rice as a food. The
idea of the rice kitchen originated we
believe with our friend Henri l..
Gueydan, the talented Editor of the
Gueydan News, who has been t~ireless
III his efforts to promote the interests
of therice industry. Now that the plan
has been evolved, the next step was
the selection of a proper man to carry
out the plan and this the executive
committee did the other day at its
meeting in Lake Charles, when it
selected our old friend and former
citizen, j. Henry Putnam as manager
of the Pan-American Rice Kitchen.
Mr.. Putnam is a gentlemen of
culture and refinement, an accom-
pllshed linguist, a most entertaining
talker and above all things thorough
" c~onyersant with the rice industry
by a of his life time experience
asa planters.
The following committees were also
appointed:
Finance-John Green, Crowley ;
E. F. Rowson, Jennings; S. Locke

Kitchen-Prof. S. A. Knapp, Lake
Charles H. G. Wheeler, Galveston ;
John Green, Crowly.
