"In the spring the young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love-"
Whether or not there is any connec-
ton between love and springtime the
poet Tennyson could probably explain
better than the writer of these lines.
There certainly is very strong con-
nection between >springtime and that
..all run down." tired out feeling so
common at this time of the year.
Subtle changes are going ON in the
world of nature and in our own bodies.
Our blood, impoverished by the long
winter, and our nerves unstrung by
work, cry aloud for rest and recuper-
alton.

Duson.

The Gazette has received with
the compliments of Mr.. j. Il
Davis, some interesting 1itera
ture booming Duson, IL little
town situated in the western
part of Lafayette parish, which
bids fair to assume considerable
proportions if the progressive
spirit of Mr.. Davis can be taken
as an index to it's prosperity.
DusOn boasts of a Progressive
Union even though it's member
ship be somewhat limited. 1t
does not pride itself on possess
ing created advantages of any
consequence, but on the contrary
invites the cooperation of
foreign capital in the develop
ment of unsurpassed advantages
of soil and locality.
Here are some of the things
the Union has to say of Duson:
Duson is fifteen years old
and small for it's age. It is in
the east edge of the rice belt and
In the :west edge sof the cane
belt:iS in the center of a good
cotton section; has 10 square
miles of rich land tributary to it,
on which has been raised % bags
of Providence rice, 500 pounds
of lint cotton, so bushels of corn,
100 bushels of potatoes to the
acre.
Duson has more rich land that
can be purchased cheap than any
other place in the state having
the same advantage. The town
is not crowded.; we only have a |
depot, express office, postofice,
telephone Office, fuel oil depot,
cane scales and derrick.
We have 5000 cash for a school
house that will be built this
we have one physician
and large supply of mild,
healthy climate. There are

ION OF rice near US and there is

name of the school children of
Lafayette. and the governor
made graceful acknowledgement
OF this special mark of attention
and spoke earnest and sincere
words of encouragement to the

marks with cheers.
The parade of the school
children walking two abreast
and singing songs as they
marched in line through the
streets of the town, aided by the
lively strains of music of the
brass band, presented a beauti-
full and animated, and a most in
spring and impressive scene.
At Carencro the Governor was
met at the railroad station by
ommittee of citizens and the
school children of Carencro, and,
TO the strains of music was es- /,

ABOUT OYSTERS.
From Good housekeeping:

~oAAA VIVA A1VNochC0pllE.
AS matter Of interest there is but
one species of oyster. Ostrea virgin
lea, along the eastern coast Of North
America. The western coast has at
least five species, but only two of
these are of Importance, and these do
not compare with the eastern she'll
fish. Thus it isz apparent that a. Blue
Point, "a Providence river and a
Chesapeake Bay oyster are some and
the same thing so far as species is
concerned. The difference is merely
matter of environment, a difference
IN food supply and conditions in
growth. -.
The noted Blue Point comes from
the Long Island shore, from what was
once a natural bed. It gets it's name
from the little town of Blue Point
off which the beds were discovered
These oysters were Of handsome shape
and extra appearance and at once
commanded fancy prices. It was only
matter Of time when these and
neighboring beds would be worked
out, and then it was found necessary
to resort to seeding or planting
that is, covering. the beds with young
oysters from other localities.
The oyster is rich in phosphates, but
is almost entirely lacking in fat-mak-
ing, muscle-building material and
those elements which go to- make VI
physical force and vitality. While il
is wholesome and easily asslmilated
the actual food value of the oyster
is not sufficient. to rank it with GU,
great food .f1shes-the cod, paddock
mackerel. etc. ''..~

HIS BEST COW.

From the New York Tribune:
OF the childhood of c. Oliver Iselin
they tell many stories in New Rochelle.
where Mr. Iselin has his summer house,
ALI View
According to one of these stories, the
boy and "a half dozen other boys took
walking trip through the state of New
York a number of years ago. One
night, rather late, they passed farm
whose 'gatepost bore the sign, Milk for
Sale"
Young Iselin said: ''We'll have sorie
fun with, the milkman," and he entered
the yard, busted himself mysteriously
for a moment, and then pounded on the
door. y T.
A figure in white appeared at an up
stairs window, and "a bass voice said:
Whats the matter down there?"
The matter is,'' piped the boy" that
your best COW is choking. You had bet
ter come down, to her.. 49,.
The milkmans dressed and hurriedly
descended, il but Of his informant he
could find 10 trace. Neither could he
find any trace Of q choking cow. There
was, however: .a,z turnip3 stuck in his
pump spout. j With an oath he drew it
out and went back TO bed. = u

FIND TWO SKELETONS.
Workmen on Speedway unearth Re-
mains of Adults.

mains OF Adults.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 26.--Work-
men employed by Contractor Stiles,
who is building the new speedway for
the Rochester, Driving club between
Culver Road and Brighton, unearthed
two skeletons near the Brighton wide
waters yesterday. Coroner Killip was
notified and had the bones removed
to the morgue.
The first skeleton was discovered
In the morning. One of the workmen
In digging up the earth struck his
spade against what he. thought to be
wooden box. 1t was only foot and
q half below the surface. He was great
II surprised when,. on digging further,
he unearthed a coffin 1t was rude af-
fair built of cheap material. The boards
were nearly rotted away, and as the
box was opened a complete skeleton
was brought to light.
The skeleton is evidently that of an
adult person. The coroner believes it
had been buried at least twenty years.
There was no flesh on the bones, nor
were there any signs of clothing in the
box. The body was probably nude
when placed in the box, and the op-
1nlon Is that it was buried in haste.
There was greater surprise among
the Workmen when the second skeleton
was found in the afternoon. In this case
the shovel did not hit against a coffin,
but came in direct contact with the
bones. The body had been buried with
out coffin. It was also the skeleton
OF an adult, and as in the former case
there was no clothing on the body, nor
any flesh on the bones
Coroner Killip does not suspect foul
play in connection with the remains.
He believes the burials were legitimate.
and doubtless made by some poor
family who. preferred private plot
to placing the remains of their relative
IN po}tter's field The coroner will hold
the skeletons at t, the rnorgue for a few
days il hopes that some light may he
thrownson the mystery: The; task Of
identifying them would be difficult #
no clew is obtained the coroner will
order the skeletons buried in potter's
field 4
