Deaths Hand.

Last Sunday the little four year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Nell
sen passed on to the other world
stricken by scarlet fever. The child's
name was Jens Andersen, the child OF
Mrs. Nielsen by former husband and
was very bright little fellow. He
had been sick for several days and
they had hoped for his recovery. He
has now gone to where all is mystery
and we know not whether the little
fellow is playing on the shores
of endless time waiting with radiant
hopes for the loved ones or if he is
dormant cold and still, but yet the
spark OF life must yet leave or the
laws of the universe recedes.

BRAIN-FOOD MONS ENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most COM
petent authorities They have
dispelled the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sus-
tain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-.
vent their coming by taking regu.

CROP REPORT.

has just been issued. 1t is a
matter to be regretted that Iberia

Iberia holds not the industries
here classified, but that Commits
sioner Lee was unable to get the
facts and figures concerning many
of the leading industries of this
parish. In the column, Total
number of saw Mills and value of
their product, Iberia is blank:
just as though the parish had not
a saw mill. The same is true of
irrigatlng canals, cotton gins and
factories, live stock, cotton seed
oil mills, rice mills, and sugar fac
tories.
If these reports are sent broad
cast and falls into the hands OF
possible immigrants, this parish,
one of the richest in the State IN
natural resources, will appear tc
him or them as a good place te

Love Laughs at Ram Drops.

The following good story was
handed Ill by one of our readers,
who does not wish to keep all the
good things he reads to himself.
While we take pleasure in repro
ducing it, we regret that we are
unable to give the writer or
publisher the usual and proper
credit.
ga young man had been spend
ing an evening at the home of his
fiancee, and when the time for his
departure came it was raining so
heavily, and there being no cab
available, it was evident he would
get wet through IN going home.
The young lady was much con-
cerned about the possible conse
quences to her lover of such a
wetting, and she suggested that
her mother should be asked to
put him up for the night. He
readily agreed, and, the mother
asserting, his sweet heart went
off personally to superintend the
preparation of his room. On her
return, however, the youth was
nowhere to be found, and his hat
was also gone from the stand in
the hall. After waiting some
time, it was concluded that there
had been a misunderstanding, or
that the young man had changed
his mind, and the family were pre-
pairing to retire, when the front
door-bell was rung. On the door
being opened there was the lover,
standing in the rain, and absolute
" drenched. In answer to the
astonished questions of the mother
and daughter, he explained that
he had been home to fetch his
night-shirt."

IS IT OIL?

Mr.. Geo. Vest was caller at !
our office on last Wednesday
morning, bringing with him a
bottle containing aquantity of the
sand and water taken from the
place on his property where the
gas manifestation have been no.
ted for the past three years or
more. Our readers will remember
that we have referred to this gas
before in these columns. how it
was accumulated under a half
barrel, and how it would burn
from an improvised jet. The
sample of sand and water in the
bottle may and may not exhibit
oily indications. To the skepti-
cal mind and the untutored eye it
promises but little, but to the OIL
factory organ the suggestion of
the Beaumont oil is very strong.
The favorable indications for
there being something more than
vegetable gas at this place are
summed up in the following:
The gas continues undiminished
in hot or cold weather. There has
been but little vegetable matter
turned in to this gas factory for
some months. yet the supply of
gas is not waning. This gas is in
tlammable at all times, readily ig-
nitlng from the flames Of a match
as the bubbles burst upon the sur
face of the water; and when &C
cumulated under a receiving re-
cepticle may be burned in con
tinuOus flame from a jet. Now
l comes the ordor, impaired to the
! soil by the escaping gas, strikingly
similar to that of the Texas oil.
l There is the evidence also that
the soil, well up on the the bank
) Of the bayou, was once known t.

woman had kindled fire under
her washpot. Long after she hat
