sA7s1y uvIs CHANGED
And now Spends His Time -Rea-
ding Late Novels.
Which Women Visitors to tht
Lake Charles Jail Kindly
Provide Him With.

| A, E. Batson, the alleged mur.
derer o: the Earl family, now co n
fined in the Calcasieu parish Jail,
at Lake Charles, has become an
incessant reader of books since his
death sentence. He reads all the
time. He lies in the steel cage
and pursues the pages of thrilling
| novels.
Visitors from Lake Charles,
who were in town yesterday at
tending the meeting OF the state
Democratic Committee, say Bat
son has become changed man in
many OF his personal habits. He
stills maintains his that solid indif-
ference that has always characteri-
zed him as one of the most rem
arkable prisoners on record.
He has fallen off in flesh since
he lived at the parish prison in
New Orleans. The days in the
condemned cell did it, so-the eye
witness say. During the time the
death sentence was hanging fire
in the Supreme court Batson was
confined in the death cell, and he
grew thin and pale, but since a
gain placed in the steel inclosure
he has gained in weight and is de-
voting all his time to literature.
He eats breakfas: in the morning
and then takes up his book. It is
the same thing day in and day out.
Batson formerly never read.
He did not like print; and ne did
not even follow all OF his case in
the papers.
"Woman send him the books, :

There are more artificial teeth
made in the United States than in
any other country. Formerly
they were made from bone and
ivory, and carved out by the den-
tist himself. Now they are
made Of porcelain. and are pro-
duced in factories. All shades
and shapes Of teeth are possible
OF imitation. Il is said that even
the temperament Of the patient is
taken into consideration in the
selection TO artificial teeth.

schools is the foundation stone of
agricultural progress, and other
foundation no man can lay. This
is not theory, but fact proved by
statistics. Wherever the percen-
tage of iliteracy is highest, there
are the profits of farming smallest.
And for a reason not far to seek.
there has least progress been made
in the introduction Of improved
and scientific methods.

Butcher Cattle-Butcher cattle We're In pretty
fair supply and included some very decent offer
!ngs OF both cows and hcirrrs. The demand was
decidedly limited both local and order aC-
count and trade was practically at a stduistili
all morning Up to noon one packer had bought
nothing and the others We're very small! operators
A few Scratch" sales were around steady, but
they cut figure in the general trade and in no
sense reflected the actual conditions, tha:. by
comparison wt-h former movement and price,
10 k dstrrssingly slow ard lower. On the whole
business the dullest 81 the and large
ly. 1yd25c lower than TUESDAY. with considerable
stun on which bids werr gtill lower and others
awaiting bids. Calves around steady and
bulls slow to lover.
