immigration.

From Shreveport Journal.
Mr.. Joseph E. Adger, of Bos-
sier parish, has begun a work
which will mean much to North
Louisiana. He has located some
200 white persons on the uplands
of Bossier parish and a few on
the river bottoms.
The immigrants are a class of
thrifty, intelligent farmers who
have made a living on the worn
! out hills of Georgia and Alabama.
No better class could be introduce
ed into this State. These people
will rent for a few years and soon
own lands of their own.
Mr.. Adger says there are thous-
ands ready to come. They all
want to know what school and
church facilities are in the neigh
borhoods where he propose to
| settle them. That they will not
go to any section where there are
no schools and churches. The
few old mossbacks who are afraid
to invest a little tax money in
public education can, therefore,
readily understand how the price
of lands will go up in proportion
as schools and churches flourish.

Ringing Bros Excursions.

Special excursion rates on all
lines of travel have been arrang-
ed for by the management of
Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest
Shows, and those who wish to go
to Shreveport, where this great
circus exhibits Monday, October
9th, can do so at comparatively
small expense. This will be the
only point in this vicinity where
the show will exhibit this season,
and no one should miss the oppor-
tunity to see it. Ringing Bros
Circus has been the leading arenic
exhibition of America for several
years, but the show is never per-
mitted to exist upon its reputation.
Although it long ago passed the
point of competition, every year
sees a greater and grander show.
This years performance is entire
ly new, and the magnitude of the
exhibition dwarfs anything of the
kind ever before attempted. There
is a great triple ring exhibition
given by 800 high-salaried artists
from all parts of the world; a
trained animal department, pre-
senting marvelously educated
bears, seals, dogs, ponies and
elephants; q magnificent horse
spectacle; vast menagerie,
which exhibits the only giraffe on
earth; a gorgeous revival of the
old Roman hippodrome and many
other great features. Circus day
opens with brilliant street pa
rade, two miles in length. Dom!
fail to see it.

The Quality Above All Else That
Woman AAmires In Man.
Women abhor towards and still more
sneaks, though l regret to say they
often endure cads in a way that bellies
their intelligence and good taste. They
have u quite pathetic desire to look up
to men. to feel men their superiors III
strength of body and of mind. in calm
ness Of judgment and clearness of in.
tellect. And 1t is indeed a pity that
men SO often seem to 60 out of their
way to destroy their most cherished
Illusions.
Above everything a woman admires
strength In man. 1t may be strength
Of body-she will worship a Hercules
with the brain Of a guinea pig. 1t may
be strength Of intellect-she will adore
savant with the body of a gibbOn
monkey. 1t may be strength of char
acter-she will break her heart for a
politician or a fnancier who is un-
swervingly wrapped up In dreams Of
personal advancement. and who pos
sesses no more heart than an oyster.
But strength In some form she Graves
increasingly. 1t is hereditary in
stinct that has been bequeathed to her
through Ewes first disappointment
when Adam was tried In the balance
and found wanting. Woman, secretly
conscious Of her own physical weak
ness and lack Of intellectual strength.
demands strength from man to make
up for her own deficiencies. Even the
strongest women, strong In body and
mind, well balanced as Athene herself,
though they may shield and protect
the weakness Of the men they love
and stoop to help them. will never do
so without secret feeling Of contempt
which Is destruction of all ideals. Man.
in spite of that dcpiorable start made
by Adam. was intended to be woman's
protector and refuge from all harm,
upon whom she could lean and rely In
every event of life's pilgrimage, and
when the roles are reversed, as they
often SO unfortunately are, 1t Is bad
thing both for man and woman
Strength. however. Is what women
love in men.-Lady Colin Campbell.

Breathing Of Insects.

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts Of their
bodies, and II these pores are closed by
oil they are sunocated. Any one may
test this by dropping sweet oil on the
thorax or back of wasp. 1t very
soon dies. For this reason oil has been
found one Of the best things to use for
the destruction of insects.

TIE BENTON HIGH SCHOOL.

TIE BENTON HIGH SCHOOL.
Never before has public educa.
ton been more generally discuss
ed than during the past year.
The press of the South and prom
inent educators have been tireless
in their efforts to better conditions
in our section of the country, and
it is believed that their efforts are
bearing fruit, for parents are now
awakening to the supreme impor.
lance of educating their children.
Each State appropriates yearly
more money to be expended for
the welfare of the future citizen,
and now, more than ever before,
towns and school districts are
taxing themselves to have longer
terms and better school equip
ment.
Seeing that so much interest,
in general, is manifested, let us
at Benton do everything possible
to have what's best in educational
life and thought. That our school
can be made as good as any of
like character in the State cannot
be denied. 1t will be seen that
our course of study has been in
dorsed by the State Department
of Public Education, and, further
more, We are officially affiliated
with the Louisiana State Univer-
sity and other leading Institutions
of the South, such as the Peabody
College, University of Nashville,
etc. The fact, that pupils finish
ishing our course of study and
receiving a Certificate of Prof.
cheney, enter without examination
the best colleges, shows that we
have the confidence and support
of the Institutions.

Prof. Chas. F. Dutton, Univer.
sity Of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.,
Dear Sir: l have examined the
course of studies of the Benton
! High School and give it my cordial
appreciation. 1t has the peculiar
merit of comprising branches OF
study which are the substantial
elements of a good solid academic
education, and of being free from
the numerous and unnecessary
features which crowd most of the
/ studies now in use in academies
and high schools. 1t has all that
1t should have and leaves aside
studies and exercises which tenG
only to divert the attention Of
pupils from the fundamental
branches, and by making then
attempt too much, render then
shallow in all.
