Love Letter Romance.

Half a century ago a young English
man while travelling met beautiful
girl and promptly fell in love with her.
A few days later he returned home,
and his first act was to write her love
letter In it he told her that he could
not be happy without her and that IL
she regarded his proposal favOrably
he would expect a reply by the next
mail.
To this letter he received no answer,
and so disappointed was he that from
that time until his death, which Oc-
Cured recently, he shut himself up In
his home and lived like Il hermit Most
of his time was spent in reading, and
the day after his funeral the heirs be-
gan to search the books I'm his library,
for they thought it quite possible that
the eccentric old man might have hid
den some bank notes in them.
They found none, but in a tattered
old pamphlet they found another kind
of note the love letter which was writ
len fifty years ago and which the writ
er had forgotten to mail.

The Successful Physicia m .

During the time spent in this hospital
learned many things that no textbook
teaches, among them the secret of the
successful physician. discovered that
while knowledge was a necessity it was
not the only thing; tact, energy, sympa-
thy and kindliness counted for more.
The most compstent physician was not
inevitably the most prosperous, while
the assiduously attentive ignoramus
who made up in care what he lacked in
skill kept the hospital crowded and in
the tullncss of time had his own sani-

The following epigrams are selected
from George Ade's new play:
About the time Il man goes into politics
his wife starts to keeping boarders.
It's wrong to make a man do II woman's
work, such as splitting wood.
When destiny comes along and taps a
man on the shoulder and says tag, you re
it" it's no time for poor, weak mortals to
interfere.
\ woman, if she's any good, don't fall in
love with IA quittcr.
y political worker transacts more buSi-
ness and takes home less money than any
other kind of laborcr.
A campaign is Godsend. 1t creates a
healthy demand for Kerosene torches, 3-cent
cigars, and other paraphernalia of Govern
ment by the People.
There are two kinds of cigars-campaign
cigars and those that you smoke.
A politician can't fight with boxing
gloves when the other fellow is using Il
meat-axe.
a candidates job is to lay low and follow
instructions.
The man who sits under Shadc-trce and
talks politics always wants to protect Amer
lean labor.
Every candidate believes in high-priced
wages for the workingman and low prices
for the consumer.
The day after election people don't ask
Did you make clean and dignitied con-
test?' The only question is, Did you
vim
Claim everything till the last precinct is
IN, and then hOllcr fraud.
It's the same III love as in politics; wait
for the last returns.
The worst thing about man who can
be bought is that he won't stay bought.
George might have added this:
Lastly, when argument plays out and
all else fails, convince 'em with display
of red fire.

all modern equipments for the
comfort and safety of their
criminals, how much more
should they spend ten times that
sum for the education of their
own children and the prevention
of crime? While palace cars
and every modern appliance of
human ingenuity subserve the
ease and comfort of the public,
shall the children be deprived of
a mere pittance to secure for
them the most precious legacy
possible for parents to bestow?
The term mere pittance is used
advisedly for the average assess
ment of the parish falls far below
$500 and this as a basis would
bring the annual individual tax
to 81. so, a bagatelle compared
with the vast Importance of the
subject and responsibility in
volved in the issue. 1t is not
the time now to indulge in penny
wise and pound foolish argu-
ments, but let every citizen
ponder this matter and come, as
he must, to a full realization of
its import to the present as we'll
as future welfare and prosperity
of the entire State and parish.
Let every man therefore who
possesses spark of manhood
and patriotism declare himself
unequivocally in advocacy Of the
proposed tax and use all honor
able means to insure it's adoption
by an overwhelming majority.
The Gazette feels that the peo-
pie of Lafayette must adopt the
tax or undergo the humiliation
of retroceding from the proud
position they have taken in edu-
cational advancement and prog
ress. The eyes of the State are
upon the parish and she cannot,
she must not recede. Her ban
ner bears that strange device.
Excelsior!
