La Grippe is epidemic catarrh.-It spares
no class or nationality. The cultured and
the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pau
per. The masses and the classes are alike
subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all
are liable.
Have you the grip? Or. rather, has the
grip got your Grip is we'll named. The
original French term, Ia grippe, has been
shortened by the busy American TO read
grip" Without intending to do so a new
word has been coined that exactly describes
the case. As if some hideous giant with
awful Grip had clutched us in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip Of a
terrible monster.

Mr.. Dill, the great trust lawyer
who accompanied the New York
capitalists to Texas, is not quite
sure that the corporate dollar will
have a square deal in the Lone Star
State. Mr.. Dill wants to know if
the corporate dollar will have as
good q show as the Texas dollar.
1t would be interesting to know
what are the rights of the corporate
dollar in the opinion of Mr.. Dill.
Mr.. Dill is from New Jersey and is
a law partner of Ex-Attorney Cen
eral Criggs. He is also the at
torney of the steel trust and other
large combinations of wealth. Up
in New Jersey, Mr.. Dill's state, the
corporate dollar is the only one that
counts.

Some women fall through love,
some rise to great heigh.s of
womanhood, but few soar from a
sense of duty and sacramento obi
CATION when the heart has changed.
Barth olomew Kost, German, came
quarrel, and after few years mar
ried Anna Schimera. For time
all went well, but Anna felt her hus
bands love was not as all consum-
ing as a husbands love should be
and her heart grew cool. Then he
was arrested for murder, accused,
of poisoning his German sweetheart
Mrs. Kost did not believe the
charge. She sought evidence She
went to Europe and aroused his
family. The dead woman's body
was exhumed. Traces Of poison
were found. Still Mrs. Kost would
not believe her husband guilty She
devoted her entire time to the
search for evidence and unearthed
a remarkable array OF facts that
proved 10 everybody's satisfaction
that the girl had committed suicide.
Kost was liberated. He FASTENED
to his wife, It's heart aflame with
love. In the meantime. the mo-
ment Kost was liberated, Mrs. Kost
applied for divorce. The harder
she worked for the man she did no,
love, the less she loved him. She
had done her duty, and wanted her

ment and as soon - they recover
from the shock they will tell each
other that Kasson is . crank who is
trying to ''queer the game" be-
cause no man in his own senses
would relinquish such juicy pud-
ding as is represented by a salary
OF $40. 900 q year on. account of
having done nothing to earn it.
The oifice-seeker's ideal job is one
that pays well and calls tor very
little work. To him such a salary
as Mr.. Kasson has turned back into
the treasury would be the realiza-
ton of dream of bliss with fr,lls
to it such as dark-eyed hours
dancing to vLluptuous music, and
he would hold on to it with all the
grim tenacity of a sea crab to a
dead niger. Should it by any
means escape his clutch he would
drop dead with heart disease and a
whole brigade of political FOUNDERS
would grind his carcass into powder
while rushing and scrambling for it,
Mr.. kassop should have a medal
and his name a place in the hall of
fame, for he was born long before
his time. 1t is now evident that he
was billed to come in with the mil
lenium, but through some mistake
was pulled before he got ripe.

State Press Convention.

| DonaldSonvllle Chief.
President John Dymond and
Secretary l.. E. Bentley of the
Louisiana Press Association met in
New Orleans Wednesday, and after
due consideration of the subjec,
and consultation with several other
prominent members, fixed upon
Minden as the place and Tuesday,
July 20, as the date for this years
gathering of the newspaper men and
women Of the State. Leesyille and
Ruston were both applicants for the
privilege of entertaining the asso-
citation and their claims were
weighty, but it was deemed that
those of Minden were fairly enti-
tied to priority, and decision was
made accordingly.
Several weeks must elapse before
the arrangements for the reunion
can be definitely concluded and an
nounced, but it may be stated in a
general way that it is proposed to
hold sessions at MindeE, on Tues
day and Wednesday to visit the
Louisiana Chautauqua at Ruston
on Thursday and to wind up with
an excursion to some distant point,
Buffalo preferred.
One thing is assured: the people
of Minden are going to receive the
pencil pushers and type stickers
with open arms, and the s'brethren
and sistern" of the Louisiana press
who stay away will miss a warm
time in the old.new town, not to
speak of the after-attractions of
fered by the excursions to the
Chautauqua and Pan-American.
In accordance with the authority
given him at last years meeting
President Dymond has appointed
the following delegates to represent
the Louisiana Press Association at
the annual session Of the National
Editorial Association to open at
Buffalo on the 10th of June: w. c.

THE FARMERS AND THE
COTTON CROP.

Every year when the planting
season comes around the farmer is
importuned not to plant too much
cotton, but the man with the hoe
goes about his business and under
takes to raise as large crop of the
feecy staple as he can handle
This is as it has always been and
will continue to be. This season,
as should have been expected after
the remunerative sales of last year,
the farmers went to work with good
cheer and strong hopes and planted
as much cotton as they could.
The farmer is offered more free ad.
vice and accepts less than any one
else. There is not an editor, or
lawyer, or banker, or merchant,
who doubts tina. he would prove a
bowling success as farmer. And 1t
is not surprising that the horny
handed son is literally submerged
with advice from amateur-agricul-
turists.
An esteemed contemporary says
that the recent cold snap, which
destroyed a large portion of the
cotton seed in the ground, was
nothing else but the kind interven-
ton of Providence, who was deter
mined to save the obstinate farmers
from the ill-effects of glutted cot
ton market next season. Our con-
temporary argues that the farmers
would not listen to the sage counsel
of their friends and instead planted
large crop of cotton. A kind Prov
idence, foreseeing the disastrous
consequences of overproduction,
interviewed with friendly frost and
saved the hard headed and horny
handed plodders from their own
folly. We do not think that the
fellows who worked early and late
putting the cotton seed into the
ground can be persuaded to view
the situation with the cheerful
philosophy of our confrere. If,
however, they can be made to be-
licve that providence has come
TO their rescue" and that the cold
wave was ''blessing in disguise"
and that it was all done for their
good, they have the true faith of
the martyrs and ought to be crowned
with glory everlasting.
But, not outstanding the es.
Inmates of statisticians, the advice
Of friends and the special care
OF providence, it is safe to
say that the farmers will cor.
ftnue to act il dependently of
pne another. 1t is in the nature of
lman to reach out tor everything in
1i1ht and the farmer IS no excep
l1Un 60 the rule-and, we dare say,
Kings considered. he gets along
6oot as well as the rest OF his
sothevs. !,

THE TIME TO APPLAUD.
A.adSsnoe Should Walt Until the Piece
II EndAd.

Aadisnoe Should Walt Until the Pisos
IL Endsd-
The time to applaud the perform
ance Of a piece of music is when 1t IL
entirely ended. There Is no other
proper time. To applaud in the midst
Of the performance is to interrupt and
to infiict an objectionable annoyance
on those who desire to listen to the
composition in its entirety. Music Is
not like play: 1t can not stop until
the applause is over. 1t must go on.
Therefore. we get these special rules.
At performance of Wagnerian
opera. or other opera in which there
are no separate numbers. the only
possible time to applaud properly 10
at the end of an act. That is the only
all other times he must go right on.
and II you applaud you simply prevent
people from hearing some of the mu-
sic. In an old-fashioned opera. such as
I'll Trovators," you' may without i'm
propriety applaud at the end Of each
number. The opera was constructed
with such applause in view and 1t is
possible for the conductor to stop ana
wait for you to express your enthusi-
asm. But at a Wagner opera this can
not be done. And please bear in mind
that the act does not begin when the
singing begins nor end when the
singing ends. 1t begins and ends with
the orchestra, and what the orchestra
plays Is as much q part of the work
as what the actors sing. and the audi
ence has right to hear it. Do not
deprive any one of that right by ap-
plauding as soon as the last vocal
note has been sung. Do not applaud
a person playing a violin concerto
every time he takes the instrument
from under his chin. Do not applaud
one playing a piano concerto every
time he lifts his fingers from the key
board. The only proper time to ap-
such performances is at the end Of
a movement You can not applaud
at any other time without interrupt
ing. and it is very rude to interrupt
