BECAUSE THEY WE'RE MELLOW
By DR.. s. NJ. Wright.
When wicked old Satan first came Il
the earth,
He worried a woman for all she wa.
worth.
He gave her some apples and said they
we're good,
Not only for knowledge, but also fol
food.
" Twill strenthen your stomach anC
open your eyes
And make you both healthy and witty
and wise,"
And thus he palavered and captured
poor Eve,
For he was the Devil-to lie and de-
ceive.
She believed the old rascal, because
they we're mellow,
Then ate more or less and gave some
to her fellow.
Now he was in love and he couldn't
say no
Like other young fellows he was a
gay beau.
Here Satan skipped out; he vanished
from thence,
And left the poor lovers to come to
their sense.
And now my young fellows come
listen to me;
Please open your eyes and see what
you can see.
You think that poor Eve and her fell
low were sold;
That you are too smart and such
tricks are too old;
But now if you'll listen, I'll give you
a smack
Of plain common sense that some
older ones lack.
The Devil used apples first, as an en-
cuse,
But now he's fermenting and selling
the juice;
He fixes it slyly in ways that are
fine-(?)
If you don't like the cider you'll taste
of the wine.
If you don't like the wine you can sip
at the beer;
However, you say, 81 will sit
awhile here
The room and the fixtures suggesting
no haste,
Designed, it appears, by man of
good taste
You see he is ready and sharp as a
tack;
Oh! he is bad one from centuries
back,
For saloons are the DEVILS fly traps
if you please,
Where he tangles the tipplers with evil
dent ease.
If you can't find an Eve for to fix up
a sell,
\ woman less innocent does quite as
we'll.
If he can't use the apple because it is
stale,
He'll fish for sucker and bait him
with ale.
He's up with the times and don't
you forget
That none but the sober have headed
him yet;
But, l don't mean to give the old
Devil a puff,
And may be you think l have said
quite enough.
But, think as you will, thou reck-
less young fellow,
If you always drink water you'll never
get mellow.
Like man of good sense never out
of his head,
You'll be loved while you're living
and missed when you're dead.

SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATE

SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH.
The family of Mrs. NIL. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
lowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DIR. Kings New

despair into joy. The first bottle

tinued use completely cured her. It's

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.

When the stomach is overloaded
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and infames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves, and causes the glands TO secrete
mucin, instead of the natural juices
of digestion. This is called catarrh
of the stomach. For years suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, caused
by Indigestion. Doctors and medi-
cines failed to benefit me until l used

MEnBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Rice belt journal., 1903-11-06
Hon. B. F. Jonas.

The Register notes with interest and
pleasure the promulgation of the can
didacy of Hon. B. F. Jonas for re-
turn to seat in the United States
Senate he filled SO ably from 1874 to
1885, from Louisiana.
Mr.. Jonas is a true type of South
ern statesman and chivalric gentle
man, and with Lamar, Ben Hill, Vest,
Hampton, Butler and others, not only
vindicated Southern manhood on
bloody battletields, but illustrated
Southern intellectual superiority in
the senate in staying the tide OF repub-
lican schemes to shackle the Southern
states in eternal political bondage,
with the negro to carry the key to the
shackles. We can never forget such
men and deplore their relegation to
political retirement, as was accom-
plished with Hampton and Butler in
South Carolina, and with Jonas in
Louisiana, as victims to machine pol
itics. Mr.. Jonas card in the Louisi-
ana papers openly avows his candi-
dacy in defiance and denunci alton of
the maCnlne, anu Appeals ulFeCuly w
the people. He does not alone belong
to Louisiana; such men belong to
their country; and all of US have an
interest in him.
And yet, Louisiana perhaps owes
Jonas a debt of which her people will
not remain unmindful, not alone for
his services in redeeming the State
from negro domination, but as chair
man of the committee on improve
ments of the Mississippi river, in
which he did as much, if not more,
than any man in the South toward Sc
curing government aid to combat the
torrents of that great river in its over
flow of the fertile valleys.
The Register does not even know
who are MIR. Jonas competitors for
senatorial honors; it only knows Jo-
mas and bids him God speed in field
in which he has so brilliantly acquit-
ted himself heretofore to his country S
welfare and his lasting honor.-Mo'
bile Register.

We are reminded of the fact that
live stock over this country is as
cheap as it has been at any time dur
ing the past three years, yet meat is
selling at the highest figure it has
commanded since the high-price period
of the Civil war. AS a bracer to
present high prices for all grades OF
meats the Armours and Swifts have
cornered the poultry and produce
supply, so that householders are com
pletely at the mercy of these big pi.
rates. The meat trust has demon
strated pretty clearly that it is big
ger man than the United States gov.
ernment, with all it's courts and anti
trust laws. And the people-well, the
people just pay the freight and say
nothing, but they are getting in the
humor to do whole lot of voting
some of these days.

1t is presumed that some of the can
didates for parish offices do not ex-
pect or care to secure the votes of the
democrats in this section, as they
have so far failed to ask them through
the columns of the JOURNAL. Our
readers can rest assured that when
their votes are wanted they will be
asked through the columns of their
paper, for it is hardly possible that
in this prosperous parish there is a
man Offering for an Office who is too
penurous to pay the announcement
fee, and if there is such man, he is
not the proper person to elect to Office.
