erty. A few years back the false
Gods Of the gambling room led him
from his peaceful life into one OF
reckless gambling and consequent
debauchery. At first successful, he
reached out the more and for big
ger game. But the turn, the In
evitable turn in q gamblers life,
came, and his store and property
soon went by the way of the green
cloth. He closed his store and
confined himself to farming and
gambling. This year he made a
good crop, and some weeks ago
disposed OF it, together with his
tenants shares, and came to town
with q sack full of money. He
gam bled here few days and then
went to Lafayette, where ne evil
IDENTIFY lost all his and his tenants
money. He returned Friday, and
Saturday night took the deadly.
poison that squared the. bill with
his tenants.
We learn that he had somtime
previous forged Mr.. j. Rene Fon-
tenot's name to a note, and obtain
ed money thereon.
A story is told in connection with
his rash act to the effect that he
had been in correspondence with a
lady representing herself in one of
the numerous matrimonial papers
as worth $4,000, and then he had
spent his money expecting to pay
it back when he should lay hands
on his mysterious Intended
spouse's purse. 'Tis said that he
had gone to some agreed place to |
marry her, but that the $4,000 bride
did not appear, and he had to re-
turn home broken-hearted and
"dead-broke.'
Brignac is a member OF a highly
esteemed family, and has host Of |
friends and relatives who deeply |
deplore his tragic death.
He was a widower, and leaves
several children.

THE RIGHTS oF WOMEN.

The rights of women-what are they?
The right to labor, love and pray,
The right to weep with those who weep
The right to wake while others sleep.
The right TO dry the falling tear,
The right TO quell the rising fear.
The right to smooth the brow of care
And whisper comfort in despair
The right 10 watch the parting breath,
To sooth and cheer the bed of death,
The right. when earthly hopes all fail,
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wanderer to reclaim.
And win the lost from paths of shame
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to Him who died
With earnest love and gentle praise,
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right to live for those we love.
And suffer much that love to prove
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones.
Are these thy rights? Then use them
we'll
Thy holy influence none can tell.
If these are thine, why ask for more?
Thou hast enough to answer for.
Are these thy rights? Then murmurnot
That woman's mission is thy lot,
Improve the talents God has given,
Lies duty done-Thy rest in Heaven.

New York, May 1O.-From the innu-

dressmakers there always come a de-

thing, which is most valuable and i'm

The right thing in dress is invariably
a simple form-an artistic, perfect, or

is this that is shown on the fashion

TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY
A CHAPLET.

A CHAPLET.
Queen of the Holy Rosery,
O bless us when we pray,
Who offer thee our roses
I'm garlands day by day.
For from our Fathers garden
With loving hearts and bold,
We gather TO thine honor
Buds, white and red and gold.
Queen OF the Holy Rosary
Each mystery blends with thine
The sacred life of Jesus
In every step divine.
Thy soul was His fair garden,
Thy heart his virgin throne,
Thy thoughts His blessed mirror
Rejecting thine alone.
Sweet Lady of the Rosary,
White roses let us bring,
And lay them round thy footstool
Before our Infant King,
For nesting on thy bosom
God s Son was fain to be
The child of thy obedience
And spotless purity.
Dear Lady of the Rosary
Red roses cast we down
But let thy fingers weave them
Into a worthy crown.
For how can we poor sinners
Do more than weep with thee
When in thy train we follow
Our God to Calvary?
Queen Of the Holy Rosary
The glory shines above
The cherubim and seraphim
In the court of heaven above.
Twas thine to share his labor
And all His bliss untold.
Refuse not then our offering
Our flowers, white. red and gold.

dainty, classic effect-with just a touch
of individuality or diosyncrasy-which
makes it worth while to wear the gown
from picture standpoint.
So the privilege to look at gowns
that cost into the thousands would be
worth a great deal to the average
woman-to be able to examine them. to
handle them, to know them. to under
stand that every development is a for
tune to the manufacturer. The privi-
lege of putting these artistic creations
of Paquin, Doucet, Deulillet, Francis
and Collot before our readers is unique
only because Paris has not yet become
familiar with these gowns.
