The White Rabbit.

Long, long wears and years ago there
lived a maiden She was very poor and
lived by herself. She did not remember
her parents at all.
Not very far from the maiden's home
there lived a witch. She was very good
e Dolly, for that was her name.
One day Dolly did not have a thing to
eat, so she went over to see the witch.
AS 1 said before. the witch was very
good 10 Dolly, and she said: Dolly, you
are poor and l want you to live with
me"
So Dolly went to live with the witch.
After Dolly went to live with the witch
she was very mean to her.
Now the house that Dolly had lived
in was burnt up, so she must live with
thu witch
one day the witch said to Dolly: II
sm going off, and you must do this work
for me before get back; If you don't
shall kill you"
Now the work the witch had given her
was very hard; 1t was that She must
string 1000 beads, different sizes. on 10000
threads, different coors. with 1000 nee
dies. different sizes. Dolly tried very
hard to do this. but she could not. be-
cause the needles pricked her hand so
bad she did not know what to do. She
began TO cry. Presently she saw white
rabbit coming up the walk, and he said
to her: Little maid. why are you weep
ing?" and Dolly told him what the witch
had told her to do. and he said: Go get
the witch's supper and come back in an
hour"
Dolly wenriand got the witch's supper.
and when''s went back everything the
witch had given her TO do was done.
She turned around to thank the rabbit,
and he was gone.
Well, about S o'clock the next day the
rabbit came again and said to the witch:
I want Dolly for my Wife, and the witch
told him he could have her, and the rab-
bit said: Tell me the story Of her life"
And the witch told him how her father
had been king OF all that country. and
how the robbers had robbed him and
killed her father and mother and left
her to live by herself.
Then the rabbit told his story OF how
he was very wealthy prince and had
Gene to marry Dolly. and the witch had
changed him to rabbit.
Dolly and the rabbit got married. and
the witch changed him to prince again,
and they went to his castle and lived
happy ever afterwards,

The Water sprite.


A little brother and sister were ono
day playing together by tho side Of a
well. and not being careful. they both
fell in. Under the water they found Il
fairy. who said to them: Now l have
caught you. and / intend won to work
for me-"
So she carried them both away. When
they arrived at her home. sho set the
maiden to spin hard tangled flax. and
gave her n caal, full of holes to I'll with
water. And she sent the hoy to the woods
with blunt AK, and told him to cut
wood for her fire.
The children got so tired with this treat
ment that they waited till one Sunday,
when tho fairy was at church. and ran
as they were flying away like two birds.
she espled them and went after them, with
great strides The children saw her
coming In the distance and the maiden
threw behind her a great brush, which
instantly became a mountain covered
with prickly points, over which the fairy
had the greatest trouble to climb But
the children saw that she had managed
to get over and was coming near Then
the boy threw a comb behind him, when
became mountains OF combs, with hum
dreds OF teeth sticking up, but the fairy
knew how to hold fast on this and soon
olamored over It. The maiden next threw
a looking glass behind which became
molntain also and was so slippery that 1t
was Impossible to get over it. There.
thought tho fairy I will go home and get
my AK and break the looking glass" Rut
when she came back and had broken the
lookng-glass, the children had been for
a long time too far away for her to over
take them, so she was obliged to sink
back into the well.

THE READY AND THE HANDY
PISTOL.

The sensational report of the raid on
crap shooters in a tent near the Kansas
City Southern yards recently was start
ling. Two negroes, one Moss and one
Peterson. were shot in the onslaught by
the police, who claim they met with re-
sistance and had to shoot in self-protec
ton. The statement of the police must
be accepted. but there are Instances on
record where similar raids have been
successful and not a'single man hurt.
The two negroes shot are well known
in Blanchard and Mooringsport and
throughout Ward Three of Caddo par
ish and have the endorsement of good
citizens. Indeed it may be said that it
was Mr.. E. c. Hearne, who on meeting
Moss in Blanchard, the morning af-er
the shooting, persuaded him to return
to Shreveport and go to the Sanitarium
for treatment Moss had reached Blan-
chard during the night on a handcar
propelled by some of his friends. In his
statement to Mr. Hearne Moss said he
was shot while sitting on cot. At any
rate he was shot, and for while it was
believed fatally, but he is improving and
may recover.
The purpose of this article is to urge
caution ON the police. Perhaps there are
men ON the police force who may be too
ready with the handy pistol. A police
man is provided with a club to resist as
saults which may be made against him,
and his pistol is intended as protection
to bis life if assaulted with a dangerous
weapon of any kind, and it is also to
check, if possible, a fleeing prisoner
against whom there may be a change of
felony, but the ready and handy pistol
should not be pulled or used in simple
arrests or in enforcing the ordinances of
the city. While the negro at times is
noisy, yet, if not desperado he will
submit to arrest if he can, not escape,
and it may be cited that Deputy Sheriff
Worsham when policeman has effected
the arrest of five or six negroes. and
marched every one to the lookup. The
same may be said of Officer Bounds who
not long since arrested several negroes
and unaided marched them to the sta
ton. In fact there are other officers of
the police who have like record, men
who never use their gun and would not
think of making gun play except in the
protection of their life or to secure a |
prisoner charged with serious crime who
was about to escape. We again urge on
some policemen the important necessity
Of always being cool and self possessed
md to never pull out or use their En:s
except it must be, and then if it must
be, the law and public sent nenT viii
