Locals Play
Star Ball
"Whitewashing' the Famous
Pilettes.

"Wlzard" Terrell pitched a
beautiful game for the crack
Iberia's at Base Ball Park last
Sunday afternoon III the presence
of fairy large crowd Of happy
spectators, administering coat OF
"whitewash" to the famous
Pilette ball tossers of Lafayette
parish. He allowed but half a
dozen scattered hits, gave but one
free pass to t h initial bag,
fielding his position most cleverly
in fact playing like a Matthew
son or American League twir-
Ter.
The contest was beyond any
doubt whatever one of the pref
tiest of the season, full of interest
from the first to final inning and
most notably of all absolutely
devoid Of kicking Or wrahg-
ling on the part of the diapond
artists. The visitors played an
unusually good game, but with
defeat staring them in theE face
they raised no "howp' ove1 the
umpire's decisions in single
instance. Contrary, they cdp-
plimented Umpire Duperier, aA
serting publicly that his decisions
were fair and impartial through
out-that he was one of the very
best umpires they have seen or
heard of in this "neck of the
woods"
Both teams played nice, clean
ball, with honors slightly in favor
of the locals. Our boys made but
two errors according to the Off
cial score, neither of them costly,
while the visitors made b u t
three. Each made half a dozen
hits.
Broussard toed the slab for the
Pilettes He pitched good ball
in every respect; in fact fully as
good as any twirler seen here this
season:
The official score throws some
light on the subject, as well as de-
failing briefly chow it hap

Mystery of the Popular Novel.

I'VE are apt to think" says the New
York Evening Post, that the selling of
poor novels by the hundred thousand
is q modern phenomenon in the book
trade; but, in fact, it is not entirely
new. In one Of the group Of Iaw-
thorne's letters he says: What is the
mystery of these innumerable editions
Of The Lamplighter' and other books
neither better nor wOrscE-worsc they
could not be, and better they need not
De when they sell by the hundred
thousand The question is q little pa
thetic whom WE remember that Haw-
thorne a little before this time had
spoken of himself as the least read au-
thor in America. 1t shows, too. that
the mystery of the popular move was
as great then as it is today. One could
understand why Il thrilling tale Of
cheapiy c~oncocted adventure might
captivate the multitude, but the curl.
Gus point is that some of the high sell
ers are simply dull and respectable.
These things, too, lie Oh the knees of
the gods"

"A stitch in the side is the popular
and expressive term for a sharp stab
felt in the side, an acute spasm, pro-
ducing pain, like the thrust Of a needle.
which is felt especially in the inter
coStal muscles. Probably its simplest
form is due 10 muscular cramp con-
nected with respiration and frequently
brought on by violent exercise after n
full meal, in which there is a greater
accumulation of carbonic acid than can
be readily assimilated or carried off.
Such slight stitch is often removed by
STOPPING; hence the old time popular
remedy was to make the sign Of the
cross upon the foot.
Such a stitch is also associated with
pleurisy. anu then it is caused By a
stretching Of the not ad-
Eesions between two pleuritic surfaces.
At other times the source is neuraleia.
In any case TO persist in muscular ex-
ertion when the stitch is severe is TO
take a great risk.

IOur Shadow,

May your shadow eve grow less
or 'be less That is a familiar salu-
tatton. The origin is dim. but may be
rs follows; When persons have made
certain progress in the black arts they
are compelled TO run through a sub
%terranean hall. with the evil one after
them. If they run so fast that his
Satanic majesty can catch only their
shadow or part Of it they become first
rate magicians, but lose either all o,
part Of their shadow. The expression
means: May You escape wholly and
entirely from the clutches of the foul
fend.
It is we'll known that after a man
reaches the age of about fifty-fve his
stature grows shorter; therefore his
SHADOW must be less. To say, May
your shadow never grow less" means,
May you never grow older."-New

Royal annals have never recorded a
more varied and extensive wardrobe
than that which belonged to the "vir-
gin queen" Even at the age of sixty
eight, when she might be supposed 70
have outlived her youthful vanity. she
possessed 90 complete official cos
tunes, 102 French gowns, 100 robes
with trains and 81 without. 12G an
tique dresses, 1876 bodices, 125 tunics,
not to mention such trifes as 90 man
ties. 50 dressing gowns and 81 fans.
1t is possible that she had an ugly
foot, for she possessed only nine pairs
OF shoes, which, considering her ex-
t~ravagances in other articles of ap-
parel, must have some meaning. At
her death 5000 articles were found
} duly c~atalogued III her wardrobe which
had adorned her proud person.

Bait.

Izaak Walton is the patron saint OF
all good fishermen. Here is his advice
as to bait: Let your bait be as big Il
red worm as you car find. without a
knot. Get a pint or a quart of them in
an evening in garden walks or cnaIky
commons after a shower of rain. and
put them with clean moss we'll washed
and picked and the water squeezed out
Of h moss as dry as you can into an
e~artllen pot or pipklu set dry. and
change the moss fresh every three or
four days for three weeks or i DuoAth
together. Then your bait Will be 1T
the best, for it will be clear and live

a stickler for propriety. Once, says the

was supposed to be a prolonged visit.

turn unexpectedly, and she found her
husband in his shirt sleeves. holding

a somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide, "harikirt'' or happy dis
patch" once common in Japan, is told
by the French Admiral Ciourdon.
When he vas a young man he had a
comrade who, having assisted in the
organizing of the Japanese navy. was
subsequently raised TO the rank of al
miral in that force. He took the part
of the tycoon against the mikado in
The revolutionary war and, having
been captured, was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to death, which in
those days implied "harikiri.'' When,
however, the fatal sword was present
ed to him he fatty refused to kill him
self and declared that if he was to die
somebody else must kill him. Threats
II e~ntreaties alike proved u~nayailing.
He resoiutely refused. The whole of
Japan was scandaliZed at such immor-
al behavior, which. however, saved his
life. The japanese penal code had
never contemplated such u contingency
as a mai tnhu.nau enough to refuse
the "l1arikiri,' and in the end he was
banished from the country and re-
turned TO France.-St. james Gazette.

The old name for the city OF London
was Lynden or Llynden, meaning the
city by the lake" An old tradition
gives us to understand that London
was founded by Brute. Il descendant
of lEneas. and that it was first called
New Troy or T~roynoyant. In the time
of Lud it was surrounded by a wall
and was then known as Lud's Town.
or Cmr-Lud. This latter is probably
the correct version Of the origin of the
name Of London if for no other rea-
SOP because it is such an easy matter
TO detect a similarity between the ex-
pressions London and I.ud's Town. 1t
is claimed by some writer's that there
was q city on the present site of Lon

known that the Romans founded a city
there and called it Londininm in the
