Mark Twain and the Composition.

All compositors, however intelligent,
are not gifted with a sense of humOr,
and professional humoriStS sometimes
suffer severely at their hands. Mark
Twain once had a trying experience
with a compOSitOr-one of those con-
scientious c~ompositors who not only
know, but know what they know. Mr..
Clemens had received from his publish
ers the proofs of a story which he con-
sidered as funny as anything he had
ave- written, but on reading the proofs
he dismally discovered that the fun
had been. carefully eliminated. Mr..
Clemens returned the proofs, ~congrat-
ulating the compositor upon having
consumed only one week in making
sense Of a story which he himself re-

Foreign Locomotives in France.

The arrival OF q number of lOcOmo-
tives in France constructed at Munich,
has naturally had a very ill-effect upon
Gallic public opinion, which is becom-
Ing Initiated at the importation of so
many foreign locomotives when the
home concerns + said to be crying
aloud for orders. That the state should
purchase American locomotives, and
other companies should give out con-
tracts to a Vienna firm, may be eX-
cusable under the circumstances, but
the purchasing of locomotives from
Germany, which may eventually be at
wal with France, and is supplying
what is classified as war material, is
intolerable to the Gaul.-Engineer.

RaiIlerY.


I overheard a lively argument be-
tween three college girls while waiting
for a car in front of the public library
last night.
(Which is correct" asked the first,
ito say here she comes or here it
comes?'" as the attention of the trio
was directed toward a car approaching
in the distance.
"'Here it comes,' Of course" en-
phatically declared one Of the group.
"No, I think here she comes is pref
erable,'' quickly retOrted the first
speaker, still watching the car.
"You are both wrong, you are both
wrong" spoke up the third, jumping
up and down excitedly; "you should
say here he comes
This remark SO amused the other
two hat their attention was suddenly
diverted from the rapidly nearing car.
as they laughed in feigned derision of
their companions ense of grammar.
But the girl who had spoken last
kept her eyes on the car, watching ii
closely as it came more clearly into
view.
"GirIs, I am right" she shouted at
them SO Unexpectedly that the two
turned toward the street at once.
"See, it is a mail car" she pointed
out triumphantly to the surprised cou-
pie who saw one of the white trolleys
coming down the track; here he
comes."-Boston Record.

Repaid.

At a certain ball in the country the
other evening a gentleman undertook
to introduce a companion to a young
but somewhat stout lady who seemed
to be pining for a dance.
"No, thanks, old fellow; 1 don't care
to waltz with a cart"
A "cart" is understood in the district
referred to as a partner who does not
do her share of the dancing, but has
to be drawn round.
A few evenings later the same young
lady, who had overheard the CONVEX
sation, beheld the young mar seeking
an introduction and asking if he
might have the honor, etc.

be a cart, but | am not a donkey

THE SONTAt: BAND
Wanted at NatchitOches-FIIl
an Engagement at OpelOusas.

The fame of the Sontag Mill
tary Band is spreading Not
only at home is it recognized as
musical organization of great
merit, but lovers of good music
throughout the State are finding
out that it is splendid band.
Some days ago President Cald-
well of the State Normal wrote
to the manager with a view of
securing the band to furnish the
music for the commencement
exercises at NatchitOches in
May. Last Wednesday Prof.
SOntag and seventeen members
of the band filled an engagement
at OpelOuSas. Citizens of that
town took advantage of the occa-
sion to inaugurate a movement
to hold a music contest, Offering
a prize of $3.50 to the best band
in this section of the State.
Should Prof. Sontag consider
that his band has had enough
practice the boys will no doubt
decide to enter the contest.
Prof. Carlos Greig at ST. Martin
vile has a very fine band and he
would doubtless be glad to
for the prize There
are several other good bands in
South Louisiana and the contest
could be made very interesting.

BATSON IN LAFAYETTE.
Taken TO Lake Charles Wednes-
day Morning.

Tuesday morning the people of
the town were surprised to learn
that BatsOn, the alleged mur-
derer of the Earl family, was in
jail here. During the night
Sheriff Perkins had arrived with
the prisoner who was safely
lodged in one of the steel cells of
the parish Jail The Calcasieu
sheriff had stopped here to pre-
vent any possible attempts at
violence, it being his intention to
reach Lake Charles as quietly
and secretly as practicable. The
sheriff stated that while he had
no reason to fear lynching he
would take no chances.
Batson was taken to Lake
Charles on the early train Wed
nesday morning by Sheriff Per-
kins and Sheriff BrOussard. The
developments in the case since
Batson's arrival at Lake Charles
are very unfavorable to the ac-
cused. A number of persons
identified him as the man who
was in Lake Charles with the
mules. Batson still persists in
protesting his innocence. His
case will be tried during the
latter part of April.

FOR NEXT CROP.
Four New Stands Added to the
Compress GInnery.

An improvement of the great
est Importance to the material
prosperity of Lafayette is now
going on at the ginnery of the
Lafayette Compress and Storage
Company. The business of the
season which has just closed
reached such proportions as to
neceSsitate increased facilities.
The manager, Mr.. 3. n. Coron-
ma, has made all necessary ar
ment Of four new gin stands
which will more than dou BILE the
present capacity of the plant
Other improvements adequate
to the increased demands of the
trade will also be made and when
the next season opens everything
will be in readiness to give the
cotton a service second
to none in prOmptneSs and eff
cheney. The Compress ginned
nearly 5000 bales of cotton dur
ing the recent season and it
wants to be in a position to
handle more than twice that
number of bales the coming sea
son. Five thousand bales ginned
and 5000 bales compressed
is 4 splendid record for one sea
son, but the management does
not want to stop here. 1t desires
to meet the increase in the busi-
ness with enlarged facilities.
until Lafayette is known far and
wide as the best wagon market
IN Louisiana, a contamination
most devOutly to be wished by
all the people Of the town.
