1t Is most astonishing that trade
IN these days is making Its enormous
profits in the fractions of a cent. In
one of the cities of the country there
was bank president who gave his
millions for philanthropic purposes
During his life, even on the days when
he was almost too infirm to walk, he
would trudge sadly and brokenly to
his home. One day man met him on
the street and said:
"Why don't you take the street carp
he instantly replied, 'My dear
friend, do you appreciate the fact that
a hundred dollars would have to work
half a week to pay that fare?"
And yet he gave two millions to a
library and another million to a hos
pital. That is the spirit Of modern
money making. On the one hand it
gets the millions through the fractions
of cents, and with the other 1t spends
the millions without regard to deci-
mals.-Saturday Evening Post.

Ancient Fishermen.
Certain hieroglyphics on ancient
Egyptian monuments seem to indicate
that the people who erected these me-
MORALS employed cormorants to catch
fish for them, as the Chinese do at this
day. In the same manner 1t is known
that the old Egyptians found in the
snarl of crocodiles a favorite occupa-
tlQn.- Men in fat bottomed boats Gov
cred With palm leaves seduced the I'M
lucky reptiles into shallow water ana
speared them there. The art of dry
ing and curing fish, not discovered in
Europe until the fourteenth century,
was known of old in the land Of the
pharaohs, and pictures are still extant
representing the various stages of the
process and showing among other
things how the big fish were cut in
pieces before being desiccated.

For some time the deacon sat In ST.
lence, his cold eyes sharply fixed upon
his brothers face. Then, when the
suspense had begun to grow painful,
he cleared his throat with evident eff
fort and spoke, carefully Weighing ev-
cry word.
"Joel," he said, "Ive come down here
to talk to you man to man, an Pm in
earnest. It's hard, but it's got to be
done. It's been on my mind for a long
time"
~ hope there Amt any trouble. Will

calamity had gradually formed before
Joel's eyes, and his face wore pale
and anxious look
Trouble? Yes. there is trouble an

The deacon did not stir until the
sound had died away in the distance.
Then he left the barn and slowly walk
ed up the path to the farmhouse AS
he reached the porch he hesitated a
moment. Darn my fool picture" he
said to himself, 81 might have knowed

scand'lo us,"
Wedding bells often ring out in unex-
pected places. Their notes are the
sweeter when they sound above the din
of discord. in vain the deacon, per-
picked and confused, his excited mind
in whirl, tried to interrupt Joel's
words. Then he gave up the attempt
and grasped weakly at the objects near
him for support. He could only gasp,
"NIis' Cook; you marry Mis- Cook-the
Widow Cook at the crossin-I-you"-
"we've been thinkin it over ever
since the day the circus was in town,
an last night we fixed it all up an de-
cided to hitch"
Lord save us all! Joel, r. 1t was
too much for the deacon, and his
strength deserted him. His knees bent
beneath his weight, and his voice drop
ped to an inaudible whisper. He lean
ed upon the sleigh and rubbed his eyes
rs If to bring back his scattered senses.
Then he suddenly found his voice
again. "Is that the meanin of it all?
Is that where you've been goin evenin
after evenin when mother an me
thought you was at the Lowdens'? Say
somethin, man! Are you struck clean
| dumb?"
The scornful look had left Joel's
face, and the suggestion of tri-
umphant smile played around the cor
ners of his mouth as he watched the
successive stages of his brothers col
lapse. But malice was not part Of
Joel Birdsell's make up. He answered
the deacon's question with question.
"You amt forgot, William" he asked
seriously, 'the day you an me signed
the pledge back in Vermont? Well,
I've kept my share of it to this day,
but never signed a pledge not to get
married"
"But you didn't tell u.s.
II didn't have nothin for sure to tell
till last night. You know how courtin
is, William. A man don't like to speak
right OUT
Once again the deacon swallowed
something that seemed to choke his
words. God bless you both!" he said
and his voice trembled as he spoke
Then he added quickly: Perhaps
you'll forget the hard things said
You see''-
i "It's just the same as II you hadn't
ever spoke 'em," Joel interrupted. Ar
now perhaps there's time yet to &C
over to the creamery. Supposin you
tell Martha about 1t while I'm gone"
j The quavering notes Of a song awals
ened the deacon from deep brown
study as he strobe alone in the middle
of the storeroom floor. Listening, hi
caught the words until they We're lost
in the rattle Of the wagon wheels:

BRYAN AND PARTY.

The Iberville South in an Editor
al. with the above title says. We
cannot believe otherwise than that
Mr.. Bryan will remain a loyal
straight Democrat whether or not
his views run counter to those of
the many who, supported him in
1896 and 1900. You will always
find Mr.. Bryan first in support of
the nominee OF the Democratic
Party whether that nominee be a
man entertaining MIR. Bryan's
views or whether he be man of
the stamp Of Carter 81. Harrison
or David B Hill. What appears
to be fanaticism, what has given
people some cause to condemn him
as possible bolter, will all pass
away. We do not believe that Mr..
Bryan could lead the Democratic
Party to success, nor do we believe
that that he will have an oppor-
tunity to again hurl it into disas-
trous defeat upon such a platform;
nor yet do believe that he will
do aught but help it as an Ameri.
can citizen.
Mr.. Bryan has his views. He has
a perfect right to express them
and he does express them IN nc
mistaken manner. He will Away
work within party lines and wheI
his party, the Democratic Party
of the great American Union
shows him Enthusiastically that his
ideas do not conform to those Of
the vast majority Of the Demo
crats, we say that it is our belief
that he will then again make
manifest his love and devotion fol
the party by rendering to it,
nominees his heariest support.

THE LOUISIANA STATE
UNIVERSITY.

The Louisiana State University
at Baton Rouge announces the
opening of its forty first annual
session on September 18th. This
is Oh of the oldest colleges in the
Southwest, and it has educated
many men OF eminence, who still
take a deep interest it its Welfare.
During it's long history, it has
passed through many vicissitudes
and trials, but it has emerged
fl ON them all in such increased
strength that even the most carp
ing critic can find nothing to OBJ
iect to in it's present condition and
management. 1t now has facilities
for instruction and courses of study
undreamed of in it's earlier days.
1t offers eight complete courses
of study, each designed to give
through training along some specl-
al line, while not neglecting the
large claims of a liberal education.
The sugar course, the first and
best of it's kind in this country,
and the other Engineering courses,
are annually sending out young
men who step into fine positions
in Louisiana and other states.
The Commercial Course, which
was establish two years ago, has
been chosen by many Of the best
students, and seems TO fill Ions
felt need. 1t is a recognition Of
the fact that college education
| is as necessary to young mai
who intends to enter commercial
life as to him who contemplate
entering one of the professions
This course covers a period o
years and includes, in addition t.
a good general education, a thor
ough study of existing commercial
/ conditions, together with tn
mastery of the various CONNER
cial branches.
At no other college can the DO.
. who expects to live in LOuisian
| secure better training for usefu
