OUT CT THE THINK TANK.

Money, after all, is but the cork.
screw for pleasure.
Men siould never firt with the
woman who writes her love affairs in
'indeljble ink.
The real compliment in a mans
6attery is in the wish to please which
prompts the nonsense
For ages man has held the old maid
up to ridicule because she would not
submit to his tyranny.
II you wait man to think you are
very clever show unboundad apprecia-
tion of his achievements.
Many man has asked some woman
TO let him take care of her in order
to get her to take care of him.
Love should be called the ether of
life: those under its influence seem
SO insensible to outside Joy or pain.
The much vaunted mantle of char
ity is often rendered quite useless by
rents from the sword of strict justice.
The only way to manage an AFRO
CART man is to pitch your duet for
life in a key with which he is quite
unfamiliar
Some persons who have been
crossed in love" always give the i'm
preston of having just hit their
funny bone"
Little sorrows, in the hearts of
some people are like the squeak bal
Icon, whose repeated inflations make
all bystanders wretched.
Dissatisfaction with ones condition
in life is the match that has started
many spark of genius which has
later illumined the world.
Ii some man would spend half an
hour thinking up a fresh set of com
pliments his increased popularity
would bring ample reward.
Men do not understand that it is not
because a woman cannot take aim
that she does not hit things. but be-
cause she is too soft hearted.
The man who cannot be in the com
pany of woman for fifteen minutes
without quoting poetry should never
have serious place in her life.
There are women who seem to con.
slider a worshiper at their shrine as
important an adjunct to their public
appearance as their bodices or boots
Some persons seem to think theii
unkiIiness is written upon. slate.
and that the moist sponge of forgive
ness should ever be at hand to wipe it
out.
When you adopt an original trend
of thought remember that you cannot
walk against the crowd without hav.
ing your elbows roughly jostled al
times.
So few women realize the vital diff
ference between being part of mans
happiness and merely part OF his
pleasure.-Chicago Tribune.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

Too much time is spent by people
in making up their minds.
There is in the art of quick decis-
ion one of the elements of success.
This art is not a secret art. Con-
trariwise you shall recognize it as
admirably simple. Not SO much is it
a matter of intellect as of instinct.
There are many kinds of wisdom.
Among them the greatest is natural
wisdom.
I'VE are all wise" says Emerson.
Recognize this fact about yourself.
Look back. How often after much
swaying to and fro, seeking advice
and SO forth do you realize that in
the end you had in you an intuitive
knowledge of the truth!
You require confidence. When it is
too late you say, 81 had feeling"
1t is something to recognize that
you had it.
Another time yield to it. To Go that
is to be great
There is a voice within speaking.
Listen for it; listen to it.
Hereby is no infallibility promised
as possible.
Mistakes will be made. Especially
at first, the directions from within
seem confused. Continue, neverthe-
less, to rely on the spontaneous
promptings of the heart. By degrees
you shall bear the internal voice with
increasing clearness.
Only be sincere. Be sure of that.
Instinct is not to be coerced or per-
suaded to guide you according to your
pleasure or some one else's pleasure.
1t is not double voiced.
Whoever is sincere with himself is
strong.
Place unbounded confidence in your
emotions. THE emotions are the mas
ters. the intellect the servant" says
herbert Spencer
1t is an axiom of philosophy that
spontaneous actions are always the
best.
Your best deliberations will not
lring you SO close to any question as
your unpremeditated glance.
No need. therefore, to waste time
n making up your mind.
Obey your own judgment.

SPEAKING BRIEFLY.

Know thyself, if you have the cour.
age.
A woman's whim is often a mans
fate.
Ou. of danger heroes and fools are
made.
In our search for adjectives we lose
the noun.
The laws are made for those who
break them.
Foolish people cannot be frightened
out of their wits.
1t takes imagination to grasp the
facts Of any case.
Many lose their lives in their efforts
to make heroes of others.
Those who are ahead of their time
are soon hurled into eternity.
Do not neglect the present. and the
future will take care of ITSELF
The past is only great in so far as
1t helps us to get away from it.
1t takes a competent fortune to es.
cape the materialism of the age.
The thorough mastication Of your
food is the salvation Of your soul.
The unequal distribution of sorrow
in the world is due to the fact that
some people are more greedy than
others.

NEXT MORNING PHILOSOPHER

Public applause is about equally dI.
vided between the deserving and the
undeserving.
Be considerate of the stranded ac.
tor. You may be entertaining a fallen
star unawares.
When political campaign is in full
blast the people are led to believe that
the life of the nation is at stake. After
the election 1t turns out that 1t was
only lot of officers.
Many married man dislikes his
mother-in-law because she will not
allow his wife to support him.
When you cannot make up your
mind yourself and go to another to
assist you he makes up his mind, not
yours.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to

PHILOSOPHY OF THE STREET.

There are few of us who are not

There are plenty of examples to
prove that it is possible to give fool

A woman's idea of business is to

THE RAILROAD.

Major Gordon, who has charge of
the Gould interests and is securing The
right of way for the Memphis, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana Railway, arrived 10
Providence last Saturday and has been
ia the parish during the week secur-
ing the rights of way. During last
Saturday public meeting was held in
town in which nearly every leading
citizen was present, when Mr.. Gordon
stated that only the rights of way was
asked aud when secured through the
parish, the contract would be let with
in ten days and the rosd completed
through the parish by the first day of
June. Such statement coming from
the gentleman was received with ap-
plause.
We understand there has been no
trouble in securing the rights OF way
from the Arkansas line down to the
second ward. every property owner,
large and small, willingly giving what
was asked, aud even would have given
more, II required. We hardly believe
that auy land owner would stand in
the way of securing the road, and
although there may be some objections
to the road passing through their
places. they will not spoil the chances
of securing il now that il is a certainty.
Think of the great benefits to be
derived from railroad passing
through our entire state; the benefit to
the planters, quick transportation, our
levee interests, and the benefit to our
entire parish. We believe that it
would help the parish more than the
town, and we hope 90 obstacle will be
placed in the way of the road taking
the river line, which will be completed
by June. 1t is easy enough for the
Goulds 10 take the back survey, which
they will do, if the people OF the par
ish are BOT careful. The contractor
has been here aud has gone over the
line through the parish, and is only
waiting for the rights of way to be
secured so as TO start work. Then
give the rights of way, all that lie asked,
aud let US have what we have been
striving to get for 10 these many years.
When the road is completed, we will
have far more prosperous parish
than it is to-day.
