More Truth Than Poetry.

The Homer Guardian-Journal
utters "more truth than poetry"
when it registered the following
kick against the expenditures of
Louisiana's public funds. The
Legislature should look into the
charges stated, and correct the
errors where practicable. Here is
what the Guardian-Journal says:
Louisiana makes a wretched showing in the
expenditure Of her public revenues when com
pared to other states. The state pays four or
five times as much for public printing ~ the
state OF Mississippi, more populous state
than Louisiana. Our Judiciary system costs
nearly three times as much as that of MissiB-
sippi, and our assessors, who are clanioring for
more pay, cost about double as much us those
of our siste" state, while session OF our legis-
lature which Is composed of fewer members,
comes thousands of dollars higher than in the
nei2hboring state of Mississippi. On the other
hand, Mississippi gives nearly three times as
much money TO public education as Louisiana.
Evidently there is something seriously out of
Joint in the expenditure of the public revenues
of this state We give too much money to office
holders and too little to the public schools and
other public improvements. It is time to in
augurate radical change in this respect.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Llewellyn Mason, a

South Dakota is highly patriotic,

which went deep enough to affect
its pockets. Nebraska on the

Control Your Temper.

There are three reasons why one
ought to control his temper, and the
6rst Is self respect. When one loses
command of himself and throws the
reins upon the neck of passion, he may
have for the moment a certain enjoy
ment in the license, but there must
surely come a reaction Of regret.
When he is calm again and the fit has
passed away. every serious person
must be ashamed Of what he said and
what he did. Of the manner in which
he gave himself away and the exhibit
ton he made of himself. He will re-
call the amazement on the faces Of his
friends and the silence which they
adopted as a protective and
the soothing language which they used,
AZ II they were speaking with a baby,
and the glances which passed between
them. He will not soon hold again
with them as strong as he did before
this outburst, nor will he have the
same claim upon their confidence asa
sound and clear headed man. He has
acted like a fretful. peevish1 child and
has for the time forfeited his title to
manhood and the place OF a man.

The poor sinners bell is a bell in the

of one of the city churches. 1t was
cast July II. 1886, according to historic
records. It is said that a great bell
founder of the place had undertaken
to make the finest church bell he had
ever made.
When the metal was melted, the
founder withdrew for a few moments,
leaving q boy to watch the furnace
and enjoining him not to NEEDLE with
the catch that held the molten metal,
but the boy disobeyed the caution. and
when he saw the metal flowing into

The latter rushed in and, seeing as he
thought his work of weeks undone and
his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
a blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and the
mold was opened, the bell vas found to
be not only perfect, but of marvellous
sweetness Of tone.
The founder gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day Of his execution
the bell was rung to call people to at

obtained the name of "the poor sinners
