The poll tax payments in the
city OF New Orleans aggregate
$1,000. This is as large a number
as was ever attained, even before
the poll tax qualification act went
into effect. There are, besides, in
the city thousands of voters who
are disfranchised. OF the quail
NED voters very few are negroes,
and the Repu blicans hardly ex-
coed 5000. Crumpacker and his
satellites will find very cold COM
fort in these facts.

THE SCHOOL BONDS APPORTION-
TENT.

The following is a statement is
sued by Mr.. j. B. Aswell, State
Supt. of Education, of the appor-
tionment of the proposed million
dollar bond issue, showing the
amounts that will accrue to each
parish, provided the bonds sell at
par. In point of fact tinanciers
say the bonds will sell at 1870
which will give S1,200.O0 instead
of 81, 100000, which amount would
increase the apportionment to
each parish proportionately. The
parish of St. Mary will receive
S23, 172 q, estimating that the
bonds are sold at par. The dis
tribution among the parishes will
be as follows:

Jenny must serve. Strange fate,

where her baby was born. II was a
girl. very little, very plump and very
pretty. Jenny crooned over it, and
untaught, sang soothing lullaby. You
have heard of "the cradle songs of all
nations" There is only one cradle
song, and it springs unbidden from the
hearts of all mothers.
When Jenny and her baby were
strong enough to be moved they were
taken to st. AIMS, where they re-
manned until three weeks ago. Then the
mother secured temporary employment
iii a certain charitable institution in
the city. She goes to st. AIMS every
day to see the baby.
When the Mother Superior first met
the little mother she asked her her
name
Jenny" said tie girl.
"And the baby's?"
The girl shook her head, and the
Mother Superior understood.
Well" she said kindly, 1--WE will
call the baby Jennie too"

Jenny at first" said the Mother
superior rev Gays ago. we WOnuer

oil and walrus meat to eat, and If she
would suffer much from the heat. But
there was no need to worry. She took
quite naturally to ordinary baby foods
and is quite like other babies. No
not quite, for she is very timid, trem-
bling at the sight of strangers, and
like the little savage she is, has ter
rible temper. My! what lungs thai

WHO WILL ADOPT

ride about on the cars? And put up at
hotels?"
"Bill, do you mean it?" asked Mrs.
Rannock.
"You bet."
"Bully for You, pop" roared the vo-
clferous Miss Rannock, and straight
way began to dream of gowns and
hats.
But timid hand tugged at Bill Ran

"What is it, jenny"

Eyes; goin' back to Gods country
"Then l will go, too. / am ready
AT first Will Rannock roared at the
thought. Jenny was an Eskimo girl
who worked for his wife, washing the
clothes and keeping the cabin in order
But when he shook his head, Jenny
wept and pleaded, and when he shook
his head second time, she fell at his
feet in a paroxysm of grief, hugging
his knees and kissing his clay-stained
boots. Then he reluctantly gave his
consent to her going with them.
When the Rannocks landed in Frisco
Jenny was with them. Straight haired
and squat of figure, the girl was view
ed with curiosity. If her figure was
dwarfsh, her face, with its big brown
eyes, was pretty. Quiet obedient,
timid, Jenny went with the Rannocks
from city to city, and saw wonders she
had not dreamed of. But the wonders
interested her not at all, for a secret
lay heavy on her heart.
The Rannocks enjoyed their wealth
hugely. In due time they came to
Cleveland. That was a year ago. The
first night Jenny disappeared, The
Rannocks searched for her three days
and then went on out Of her life.

BLAMEs SCIENCE

Lack of faith in doctors is the reason
given for the death of Mrs. H. E.
Hamilton, Christian science follower,
who resided at her home, 527 Fife ave-
nue.. Mrs. Hamilton has been afflicted
with cancer for some time, but owing
to her faith in the curing abilities of
science is said to have refused the SER
vices of a physician. DR.. A. S. Byrne
fled the death certificate in which he
gives Christian science as a contribu-
tory cause. The matter probably will
be taken into court. Members of the
family decline to make a statement
except to the fact that Mrs. Hamilton
acted on her own free will in the mat
ter.
The funeral occurred at 2 oclocl,
this afternoon at the parlors of Smith
& Company.

AN INDIAN Wrestler

Spokane may have chance in the
near future to see Chief Two Feathers,
who is defeating all of the wrestling
cracks on the coast.
Chief Two Feathers is worth going
to see. His work on the mat is unlike
that of any wrestler now appearing
before the public, and he always has
his white antagonists guessing because
they do not know what his next move
will be.
Standing six feet six inches tall, the
Indian has been known to dip sudden
ly, catch his opponent by the ankle,
and with one heave of his massive
shoulders, stand his man on his head
with a crushing thump. He is always
out to win. When his own shoulders
are pressed to the mat it almost breaks
his heart, for he carries around with
him always the firm conviction that
he can down any man in the world.
