.-The Anse la Butte { LIE Donis) J

The Anse la Butte LeDonis)
Oil and Mineral Co., had another
break down last Sunday morning,
while pulling pipe. the strain
was such that it brought down q
portion Of the top Of the derrick,
causing considerable damage and
delay. The day before the accil
dent the drillers struck a vein Of
oil that flowed quite freely, The
accident only caused short delay
in the operation. Our people are
now realizing the fact, that boring
at Anse la Butte, is being carried
on with the greatest dif6ulty, due
to the large amount of hard rock
and the coarse gravel, but the, in
dications of oil, in both wells that
are in process of drilling, are very
encouraging.

The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1901-08-10

We noted in the Weekly Iberian
of last week, the remarks of a cor
respondent from ,Abbexille, who
makes these remarks: 'Our Dem
ocratic police jury here have elec-
ted Republican treasurer, apd
have given the parish printing to
Joel Moody, editor Of the Repub-
lican Idea, who is also Republi-
can, and who offered to do the
printing for fifty cents q year."
We would like to know if the Yer
million police jury consulted their
legal adviser before they gave out
this contrsct, or why did they Ap-
point a Republican, as parish
printer. and pay him so cts q
year, when the law says he is enti-
tied to so cents . square for the
work done, and District Attorney
Muller says that the police jury
cannot do, anything else than to
act according to law. If. Muller
is right, the police jury of Vermil-
lion is wrong, if the police jury Of
Vermillion is right, than Muller
and our police. jury are wrong.
One thing certain, however. is,
right or wrong, the police jury Of
vermillion will save money oh
their printing bill.

Drawing from memory is one Of the
most difficult things in the world to do.
Even professional artists find that they
must rely largely upon hasty jottings
made upon the spot as suggestions for
their pictures. Those who are not art.
lists need to look keenly and closely at
what they wish to recollect, for they
must depend upon their memory to
bring details back to them. 1t is an ex-
cellent corrective Of superficial observa-
ton to sketch scene as we think we
saw it and afterward return to the
scene and take another view. 1t is a
training both in accuracy and humil-
ity, for we learn how easy it is to de-
ceive ourselves as to what we have
remarked.-Florence Hull Winterburn

SOME MEN GROW ON TREES.
This IL the Belief of an Indian and
Some other Tribes.

This IL the Belief of an Indian and
Some Other Tribes.
The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others that
bear various portions Of the human
body, and In the fourteenth century
an Italian traveller, on arriving at NAL
abar, was told by the natives that the
country abounded with a tree that
bore men and women. The latter were
attached to the limbs by the neither ex-
tremities and were full formed when
the wind blew, but when the wind died
out they soon withered. These speci-
mems Of humanity reached the length
or height of three feet.
In the first book Of the Mahadharata
mention is made of forms Of dwarfs
that were to be found on large fig
tree. The Arabs are still strong in the
belief that somewhere In the southern
ocean there Is a tree that bears a nut
that resembles the face OF man and
when In its fullness the mouth opens
and gives voice to the cry: WAX!
WakT The Chinese reverse the order
Of things and, instead of believing that
the trees give birth to men, claim that
in the beginning the herbs and grass
sprang from the hair Of the human
family. They have preserved the ira
dition, too, that somewhere within the
borders Of the beautiful Flowery
Kingdom there is a wonderful lake by
whose margin grew trees whose leaves
developed into birds and also that, II
a jar be broken on the waters, birds of
the most brilliant plumage will at once
arise from the pieces and fly off.
In central India there is tribe call
ed Khatties that claim to have their
origin from a stick of wood. When
the five sons of Pandu, the heroes
whose exploits are told in the Mahad-
harata, had become simple tenders of
sheep, Karna. their illegitimate broth
er. wishing to deprive them of their
last resource, prayed to be gods to as
sist him. He struck the earth with his
staff, which opened, and from 1t sprang
man who was called Khat, meaning
begotten of wood. and by this name
have his descendants ever since been
known.-St Louis Republic.
