The rapid growth of the rice country of Southwest
Louisiana and OF Texas perhaps the most wonderful
agricultural development OF recent years
Farmers of the North and West are focking into the
rice belt They realize that there is more money IN

Lands which few years ago sold for fifty cents an
acre now sell for $40 an acre. and in instances as
high as $50 has been paid All the rice growers are
making money.
The year 1901 showed an increase in product,on for
the United States of 100000 pounds over 1900. In

THE MONUMENT TO GENERAL eEAuReoARD.

At the approaching reunion Of the Louisiana dvis
ion OF the United Confederate OF the most
important matters will be the completion of the coec
ton of the requisite to erect monument to Gen
eral Beauregard The South Beauregard statue
He was of the most distinguished of the OF
the South of the full generals in the service of
the Confederate States
Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was born near
New Orleans In the year 1878 At the age of 20 he
graduated at West Point with high rank and was
placed in the engineer corps. During the Mexican
at the siege of Vera Cruz in reconnossances before
the battle of Cerro Gordo and in battles in the valley
of Mexico he served with great distinction. He was
wounded In the assault on Belen Gate. He was twice
breveted for gallantry in action At the outbreak Of
the civil he had just been appointed superintend.
ent of the United States military academy at West
Point, which position he resigned the Confed
crate army.
AT the first battle of Bull Rum at Shiloh where he
was second in command to General Albert Sidney
Johnston, at Charleston at Drury's Bluff at Peters
burg, General Beauregard served with great distinc-
ton. He fortified Charleston SO impregnaby that re-
sisted every assault by land and sea. Admiral Du
Points squadron and Admiral Dahgrens feet and Gen.
eral Gilmores army attacked the city in vain After
the war General Beauregard offered the chief
command of the Roumanian army and the chief com
mand of the army of the khedive Of Egypt both of
which offers he declined
As in the panorama of history the pictures stand
out of Caesar at Pharsalia of Napoleon at Austerz
Of Lee at Charlottesville, so Is fixed the figure Of
Beauregard at Bull Run. No Confederate veteran or
of Confederate veteran reader of history can
forget the little general waving his red cap at the sol
diers of the Georgia regiment who were the first of
drive back the Federal line into that retreat which
ended in the twentymile to Washington. Gentle,
men of the Eighth Georgia. General Beauregard cried

Madison streets, anxiously watching
the passing procession of cars. says
the Chicago Journal. Now she would
dart to the middle Of the street, and
then quickly back to the shelter Of the
edge of the pavement. Then she
would make another spasmodic sprint
toward the other side, but nervously
retrace her steps. wringing her hands
the while. Finally a big policeman
who had been watching her closely
stepped quickly forward and was by
her side. Catching her by the most
convenient arm, lifting her bodily
from the sidewalk, he rushed her
across the street, lodging cars and
wagons, and finally landed her safe on
the other side. Then 1t was she turned
an indignant face and flashing eyes
upon her protector. Then she smiled
and said sweetly: Would you mind

''The influence OF a good, manly. up
right man is great on his young daugh-
ters. who look up to him with rever-
ence, in leading them to noble aims
and teaching them to avoid petty
scandal mongering and uncharitable-
ness. May I suggest that the fathers
should take their share In the writing
Of letters to their children at school? ?
Fathers have no right to complain bit
terly that their grown-up daughters
only come to talk to them when they
want money II they have taken no in
terest and active part In their upbring-
Ing. Love creates love, and the par
ents must show their love II they wish
children" says Ethelinda Hadwen in
Chambers Journal. "The parents
must also curb their tempers in their
intercourse with each other, for ds-
peace in the home plays havoc with
children's nerves and tempers. II you
wish children to be good tempered see
that their nerves are not overstrained
and over-excited. Children-especially
little children-should live very calm
and uneventful days, and the persons
who surround them should be of quiet,
sunshiny dispositions. The children's
pleasures should be simple and mex
pensive, no matter how wealthy the
parents may be. They should be kept
In the background when visitors are
present. and In no way brought for
ward and shown of, else they become
filled with self-importance. They
should be encouraged to make their
own amusements, and should by no
means be given everything for which
they ask, whether reasonable or un-
reasonable. II the request be unrea-
sonable the reason for the refusal
should be given, and II the request be
such as may be granted 1t is not always
well to give the coveted article at
once. as in later life we cannot have
all We want. even though our wants
seem very reasonable. The discipline
Of drudgery should not be forgotten.
The modern tendency is to do away
with drudgery almost entirely. but l
think that a mistake. Certainly let
the parents guide, help and direct their
children. but do not make life too easy
for them, let them take their fair share
OF trouble and responsibility"
