TO RESUME WORK.

We learn from reliable authori-
ty that one of the drillers who was
employed in the swamps, at Bayou
Boullion by one of the Companies.
who were drilling there, has come
back here and has contracted to
go back there very shortly, to drill
on bis own account.
From his own personal expe-
rience, he is satisfied that the
shallow strata, Of oil bearing sand.
at about six hundred feet will
prove to be good and will produce
good paying bumpers.
All the Companies have made
the same error of passing through
all oil Strata that showed only a
email quantity of oil. Instead of
working oat to a finish every stra-
tum of sand producing oil, they
persisted in going down after
gushers, wasting immense sums of
money, and finally giving up the
fields that will yet be proven to be
good.
Anse-la-Butte field has exhibi-
ted no gushers, but the chances
aee that that field will be as good
as any that produced gushing
wells. ff
Those who own the swamp lands
are all satisfied that that field is as
good as any, and the drilling that
will commence there in few days
will demonstrate this fact as the
drillers who 60 there will develop
every stratum of oil bearing sand
that they will End.

COOL WEATHER.

Saturday and Sunday last are
said to be the coolest days in June
ever recorded.
Frequent showers fell during
that time, the wind shifted to the
north and cooled the atmosphere
TO a degree that made the people
put aside the linen clothing and
Cook for the over coat. Blankets
had TO be taken out from the
places where they had been placed
Hor the summer, and fire was made
en- many homes to make the house
comfortable.
The rains were Of great benefit
TO the crops, but all have enough
NOW. The cold weather will not
alave any bad effect upon thecrops,
except perhaps on the young cot
ton.
The crop in general were back
ward, with this timely rain and
favorable weather during the next
few weeks, we can yet hope for
good crops, and with the tendency
of high market for our products,
things after all, are not looking as
gloomy as they did few weeks
past.

The Cotton Market.

The local cotton market opened steady
to-day. with prices / point lower to .
points higher. 1t was assumed this
morning from the early actions of cotton
that bull operators were selling May and
July through brokers. One trader had a
bunch of selling orders in May that
quickly checked The upward tendency of
that option, dropping 1t from l0.i7 to
10. l5 on the call against 1913 last night.
March had the strongest opening and
for n time extended its Influence to other
positions, but the selling wa too heavy
to Withstand. After the call May fell
to 10 rs under increasing pressure and in
absence OF clique support. The SUPPOSE
ton rs 10 March is that a 5lg block OF
short cotton exists which may fnd some
difficulty in being adjusted. The receipts
ut ports were estimated at D,O0 bales.
The opening prices were: March, G9i
to 1925; April. 10.14 bid; May. 1914 to
1915; June. 9.92 to 9.9i; July, asS to 900;
August. 9.57 to 9.5S; September 900 TO
9.01; October, 500 to $40.
The market closed with March cotton
at 1924. which is two points above the
closing quotation OF yesterday. Abcut
5O0,0N bales were cal In during the
days trading. II Is estimated that Sully
bought s75, 600 bales OF this. Toward the
close the market took a bulliSh turn.

NEARLY EVERY ISSUE HIT.

There was a clear way for the bears
IN the stock market to-day n they
took advantage Of every opportunity TO

from / to 4 points. The calling OF loans
by banks, prospective tight money
through the blocking of the Aldrlch bill
and the loss OF over $4,000 900 by the
local banks to the Sub-Treasury were
factors which helped the bears along.
Prices quickly dropped after the OPEN

the entire list showed fractional de-
cllnes. The selling movement was in
creased on the announcement OF the

Queer Revenge.

speaking of queer revenge said an
Englishman, 81 remember how, accord
ing to friend of mine. the natives Of
certain villages in India treat their en-
emies.
"Do you know what they do? They
just get a few handfuls of rice and
sprinkle it on the roofs of the people
they hate.
''Then what do you think happens?
Why, then the monkeys come fiocking
down from all the trees on to that roof
after the rice. They eat all there is on
the surface of the roof, and then, to
get at the stray grains that have lodged
in the crannies, they begin to pull the
shingles off. Wherever there is a grain
to be seen far down in some crack or
other place they pull the roof up to get
at it, and finally, 10 and behold, there
is no roof left! The monkeys have torn
it all away. Then the man who spread
the rice laughs subtly, for he has had
his revenge, and yet no one knows and
he cannot be punished"

a Ii the world over Easter is a
"a season of great rejoicing, as
~ everything begins to cast off
the dinginess of winter and
Nature herself exhibits the spirit of
resurrection. Palestine the spot where
the resurrection we commemorate took
place, is supremacy emblematic of the
season because there the spring sud
denly bursts forth and all the verdure
and flowers spring up as though n
magic wand had been waved over the
land, for the excessive dreariness of
winter is broken in the orient when it
is still winter in western lands.
The beauty of the Holy Land at this
season and the peculiar ceremonies en-
acted in the oriental churches combine
to draw to the Holy City pilgrims and
tourists from every corner of the earth
to witness these interesting celebra-
tons. No other city in the world pre-
Sents so cosmopolitan an appearance
as Jerusalem does at this time. Rus
SLAMS, LatinS, Copts, ArmenianS, Syri-
ans, all gather in large numbers in the
Holy City for this week. The Rus
SLAMS, TO whom Easter is the greatest
festivity of the year, are represented
in largest numbers. They walk wea-
riIy over long distances attired in the
quaint Russian garb, carrying their
provisions in knapsacks on their backs.
They suffer many discomfOrts on this
long pilgrimage in the hope of thus
winning eternal salvation for them
selves or for the wealthy penitents in
whose proxy they come. They belong
fO tho Oriental Crack phurch As they
proceed through the country their me-
lodiOus singing fills the air.
Second to the Russians are the French
pilgrims, who come in large bodies.
They enter the Holy City on foot,
walking in procession, carrying ban
ners and crucifixes and singing French
and Latin hymns. Their first act on
arriving in Jerusalem is to march to
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and
hold service there.

from European sovereigns.
The most important SectS of the ORR
entail church are the Latin and the
Greeks. The latter are the wealthiest
and the most numerous. Their church
is the strongest in Jerusalem. 1t IS
backed by the power of Russia ana
numbers hundreds of Russians among
its Sdherents. It's native members are
Arabs and speak Arabic. It's clergy
are from the Greek islands and speak
modern Greek. Their chapel in the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the
most richly ornamented of all. 1t is
filed with gold and silver ornaments
of great splendor and with gilded pic
lures. Many lamps are kept ahght
continually and shed Il most dazzling
brilliancy throughout the chapel, max
ing the images and the gilded altar
cloth, the censor and the golden can
dlesticks sparkle and glisten till the
whole Enclosure seems to be ablaZe
with burning gold. During their serv-
ices incense is profusely waved before
the altar, and the bishops and priests
within the chancel, attired in glittering
garments, lead the service in modern
worshipers stand on the marble nave,
for no seats are provided. No instru-
ments are ever used in their services,
but the worshipers sing in chorus in
most harmonious manner.
The principal services of holy week
are held by the Greek and the Latin.
The first one of interest is that of the
washing of the feet celebrated on
Maundy Thursday. The Greek patri
arch and other dignitaries of the Rus
sian church. attired in their most gor-
geous robes, make a grand display of
initiating the Lords example of humil
ity. This service is held in large,
open court before the church. which
becomes crowded to its utmost capac-
ity by Russian pilgrims and visitors
from all climes. With great pomp and
Ostentation the Greek patriarch washes
the feet of twelve priests especially
chosen for that purpose.
The next ceremony of interest is per-
formed by the Latins. On Good Fri
day night they hold q service in the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, when
they enact the details of the cruel
fiXiOn. AS the service begins at n late
hour, the pilgrims bring their mat
tresses and sleep within the church
until they are awakened by the en-
trance of a procession of priests, chant
ing as they come from the adjoining
convent The bishop and the prior,

Dressed Turkeys.


Miss Sallie Blake. who lived in Cal
vert county, Md, some years ago, was
in the habit of gathering chicken
grapes in the autumn and making them
into medicine by preserving them in
spirits.
1t happened once, after the contents
Of a jar containing the decoction had
been exhausted, that Miss Blake emp
tied liquor soaked grapes on the ground.
Here her fine brood of turkeys quickly
gobbled them.
Presently Miss Blake found the tur-
keys lying on the ground and not real
izing the cause of their stupor she
thought they were dead. In order to
realize something from the feathers,
she had the turkeys picked. The car
casses were thrown outdoors.
The next morning there was n great
hue and cry from the servants in the
back yard, and, looking out of the win
dow. Miss Blake saw her turkeys walk
ing about absolutely bare except for a
few tail and wing feathers.
In order to protect them from the
cold, the good woman bought enough
red flannel to make each turkey a COM
Portable garment. Very soon, to the
wonder of the neighbors far and wide,
Miss Blake's turkeys stalked abroad,
wearing their red coats with the same
easy grace with which they had worn
their Enthusiastically Companion.
