Are you almost disguised with life little
man?
I'll tell you wonderful trick
That will bring you contentment if any
thing can,
Do something for somebody quick.
Are you awfully tired with play little
girl,
Weary, discouraged and sick?
III tell you the loveliest game in the
world,
Do something for somebody quick.
Though it rains, like the rain of the
flood, little man,
And the clouds are forbidding and
thick
You can make the sunshine in your soul
little man,
Do something for somebody quick.
Though the stars are like brass overhead
little girl,
And the walks like well-heated bricks
And our earthly affairs in a terrible
whirl-
Do something for somebody quick.

In the Philippines the bells ring out

Alaska, 5000 miles north, has the
Christmas joy. Wherever the school,
mission, trading station or government
outpost has been planted there rings out

The natives participate in the holiday
as far as it is possible. Many tribes on
the farthest borders are in darkness and
do not hear the bells across the snow.
Last year at Teller, 200 people cele-
brated Christmas. There are no trees
on that coast, but the ingenuity of man
knows no limit; they made tree, filled
the branches with gifts, lit the boughs
with pretty candles, festooned flowers,
(colored paper and the whole town
gathered around the tree, meager to be
sure, but it brought back the memories
of other days and afforded the children
a real pleasure.
After the gifts were distributed one and
all sat around the bountiful board of
pies and plum pudding.

But fix the resolution again, the effort is
worth So netting. Regrets-yes regrets.
We do not like to think about it. Don't

Several different games were provided ;
this one was the most fun-pinning a

of fun. For refreshments rice was serv-
ed with shrimps, Japan tea, animal
cookies, fudge and panochi. About 35

SUGAR CAMPAIGN.

Sugar rolling is now in active
and general operation throughout
the parish, all the factories are
steaming with good stocks of cane
Of average richness. Segura, Nor
bihan, Sarah, Vida and Maria are
turning out tons of sweetness.
Cane planters are energetically
harvesting their cane and deliver
ing as rapidly as the mills will re-
ceive and while the tonnage is not
as great per acre as former years
yet on the whole it is satisfactory.
The price hovers around the three
dollar mark. The weather is
rather warm for the season with
too frequent rains to make the
minimum Of expense in harvest
ing.
The cotton market is dull and
spiritless not much coming into
town. Prices are from $24.OO to
$25. 90 per thousand pounds in the
seed.

A SOLID IBERIA INSTITUTION.

We desire to call attention of
our readers to one of the most
prosperous financial institutions in
Southwest Louisiana. We refer
to the Iberia Building Association
of this place. 1t was organized in
1887 by Mr.. John w. Callahan, a
level headed business man then re-
siding here. 1t passed through the
usual infantile troubles incident to
a new and untried scheme, with
officers not as we'll experienced in
this branch Of finance as they
might have been, but they pulled
through alright, aud soon obtained
the confidence of the public. The
great want for the first years Of
the association was a competent
secretary, various persons essayed
the duties of the Office but without
much success, until the election Of
Mr.. VIM. G. Weeks in July, 1888,
who has been kept in continuous
service ever since and it is owing
chiefly to his untiring zeal and APP
plication, and the careful study Of
Building Institutions that the Iberia
Association has been so successful.
Mr.. Weeks isan acknowledgements
ity on the subject of which he has
had much recognition by other as
sociations, and from Conventions
of Associations. The snbjoined
letter from the State Examiner is
highly complimentary to Mr..
Weeks and his associate officers.

HON. r. F. BROUSSARD REELECTED.

The election in this parish last
Tuesday was record breaker in
the paucity of votes cast, there be-
ing less than 600 votes deposited in
the boxes throughout the entire
parish. This was great falling
off, not being 20 per cent Of the
registered vote. The falling off
was due to the very bad weather
during the day and the neglect of
the voters to comply with the poll
tax law.
The election was quiet Mr..
BrouSsard receiving so per cent of
the vote east and Mr.. Howell the
remainder. Throughout the dis
trict the result was about the same,
Mr.. Broussard again represents in
the 5Sth Congress the district
which he has so faithfully and
brilliantly served for six years.

Luxury in Apartment Houses.

Concentrating in one huge building
all the clever ideas that labor-saving
Americans have evolved to date, the
designers of 1.-THE Ansonia" in New
York have constructed an apartment
house that is perfect masterpiece of
magnficence and comfort.
1t is unique. One entire block on
Broadway, between Seventy-third and
Seventy-fourth streets, was purchased
as the site of the new building and on
this space 1t was determined to erect
a structure containing no fewer than
$500 rooms above ground.
To make such an enterprise a sue
cess, says the Philadelphia North
American. financially it was necessary
tractive fashion that could be devised
and fit them up with the latest and
most costly adjuncts to home comfort.
How well the designers succeeded may
be judged from the following interest
ing particulars of the new building:
One hundred and seventy-five miles
of tubing are concealed beneath the
floors and in the walls of the Ansonia.
Without this immense stretch of pip
ing the apartment building would be
a dreary place. indeed. for it serves to
convey messages. protect bell and tel
ephone wires and electrical conductors,
provide gas. not, cold and iced water,
heat for the rooms, refrigerating pow
er for the Ice boxes and steam power
for the elevators.
Filtered hot and cold water as well
as iced water. are provided In every

tributed to the tenants through gall
vanized steel flues BY this means
that horror of the modern apartment
house, the odor of cooking, will be re-
legated to oblivion and fresh, pure air
supplied to every room in the building.
All impure gases will be eliminated
from this happy structure by means of
large suction fans. which will con-
stantly be in operation on the roof.
Electric cooking ranges will be fur
nished for tenants who prefer them to
the gas contrivance. the electricity be-
ing supplied at cost and turned on and
off by means of a switch in each
apartment Another electrical conven-
fence will be long distance telephones
in every suite.
The Ansonia will be so complete in
itself that tenant will seldim have
to pass beyond the confines of the
building to supply any of hiS wants.
In the basement, for instance, there
will be storage, repair and charging
room for automobiles; a shopping de-
partment, in which will be found a
grocery establishment, a butchery, a
bakery, a milk depot, a BARRIERS shop,
a laundry, ladies hairdressing and
manicuring parlors, safe deposit
vaults, cold storage room for furs, and
a swimming pool.
On the top floor. overlooking the
beautiful Hudson. is a large banquet
ing hall and a roof garden.
II Is intended to rent the rooms in
this unique building either to families,
or as bachelor apartments. A bachelor
suite of one room and bath will rent
for $500 a year; two rooms and bath
for $500 and upward: suites for mousse
keeping. or five rooms and bath TO
fourteen rooms with three baths. will
rent at prices ranging from 81, 500 to
$4,000 a year.
The decorative features OF the build
ing are In harmony with the general
manihcence OF the place.
All the public rooms are in the style
Of Louis XIV, while the apartments
are decorated IN the French Renaia-
sanee style IN white enamled woods
