Maurice Lehman, the young
man who arrested Sunday night on
an order from the Sheriff of New
Iberia to superintendent Journee,
vas arraigned i'm the First City
Criminal Court yesterday charged
with obtaining money under false
pretenses, and was placed under a
bond of $1,000 by Judge Gill.
After Lehm,nh's arrest it was
earned that he had committed the
same offense here, and authorities
of this city refused to release him
to Deputy Sheriff Merida, who
came here for him. 1t was lear
ned that he had obtained $500
from Isaac Levy Of 1904 Canal
street on different drafts, and the
drafts we're return d TO him from
the banking house upon which
they had no money to his credit.
Detectives Stubs and Rance
called on Mr.. Levy yesterday
morning and learned that he had
cashed drafts for lehman, said
to amount to $500. Mr.. Levy
then went to the First City Grim
inal Court and charged Lehman
in one affidavit with obtaining $40
on fraudulent draft. Mr.. Levy
said that April II last Lehman
gave him a draft on Achilles Bloch
of Paris, France, for $40 and he
gave Lehman the money. Befo
re the draft cOul be heard from
Mr.. Levy aid that he cashed two
more drafts for Lehman, which
amounted in all to S17O0. The

THE MYSTERY OF
WRAY TAYLOR

1t is now generally believed that
Wray Taylor has gone to Japan and
will remain there. The Call, speaking
of the Taylor mystery, says:
THE matter of Taylor's whereabouts
seems to be even mystery in this city.
During the early part of his stay here
he stayed at the Occidental Hotel, and
on February II he packed up and left.
He was supposed to leave San Francis
co on the Sierra, which sailed for Ho-
nolulu February 10, but inquiry showed
that he had not taken passage on the
vessel. Taylor's absence from his usual
calling-place led to the belief that he
had returned to Hawaii. Alexander
Craw of the State Board of Horticul-
ture, whose office he frequently visited
prior to February IL, was surprised that
Taylor's visits had suddenly ceased.
Craw, however, had advised Taylor to
pay visit to Southern California and
study the crops and the fruits. Craw
therefore attributed Taylor's absence
without explanation to probable tour
of inspection through the SOUTH

NEVER GIVE UP.

It is the monotony even
more than the pain that makes
a long illness so hard to bear.
Life is like a long rainy day.
One sees all things through
blue glasses and walks in the
Valley of Shadows. The atten-
ton is withdrawn from outside
matters and centred on ones
self. The various symptoms of
the disease, whatever it may
De, continually appeal to the
sufferers feeling and fancy
until other thoughts can get
little welcome in his mind.
Sometimes this is merely an af-
fair of few months, and again
it may drag along for some
years. 1t depends on circum-
stances; no two cases are alike.
The words oftenest on the lips
of these poor souls are, ooh,
nothing does me any good; Pm
sure l shall never get well"
Yes, you will. In spite of your
lack of faith in medicines let

KINDERGARTEN
MEETING HELD

The meeting of the Free Kindergar-
ten and Children's Aid Association was
fully attended yesterday morning, Mrs.
VIM. F. Allen presiding. Some of the
six kindergartens are naturally feeling
the effect of the dengue fever, but a
speedy cessation of the epidemic is
hoped for. Mrs. Thompson is keen and
active, as always, in attending to the
other ailments of the children, and re-
ported 2O9 treatments during the
month.
The plan of kindergarten as part
of the Normal School under the Board
of Education finds favor with the pub
lie, as it long has with educators, and
we have reason to hope that the present
Legislature will incorporate it. The
kindergarten Association will continue
as now to provide for the other kin
dergartens of the city, but with the
added stimulus of the government kin
dergarten. This enlargement of kinder
garten work is a measure of public
health as we'll as public education, es-
pecialIy in this community where lit
tie ones of so many races and national
titles must be early trained towards
sanitary living and good citizenship.
