Every voter should bear In mind
that if he fails to pay his Pail Tax
before the 31st of December he
will be disqualified for three years,
as he will have to pay two poll
taxes previous to. the year in which
he will want to vote. Pay your
poll tax now.
According to indications there
will be two of our present liquor
dealers who will drop that line of
their business, leaving after Janu-
ary lst., only five liquor dealers in
st. Martinville, and when another
year rolls by, the number will pro-
badly be reduced. The number
in the parish will probably be less
than last year, as the three blind
tigers caught by the last Grand
Jury were made to pay their IL
censes. These three establish
ments night perhaps never have
done liquor business if they did
not expect to evade the payment
of the thousand dollar license.
The authorities should see to this
during the coming year, and the
Grand Jury ought to see that the
officers do their duty, and indict
them if they fail and not only re-
port that this officer is not do
ing his duty.

and an architect. His nephew, Per
dix, worked with him as his assistant,
and the young man became so skill
full that Daedalus got jealous of him
and determined to put him out of the
way. So he enticed him to the top
of the Acropolis, a great rock in the
center of the city, and then pushed
him off. The fall killed Perdix, and
Daedalus was banished as a punish
ment. The old writer's tell us that
Perdix was transformed into a par
fridge, a bird that always avoids high
places and seems to be mindful of its
fall.
Daedalus, after his Punishment,
went to Crete, where King Minos en-
gagged him to build the famous laby-
rinth in which the Minotaur after
ward lived. But Minos soon became
displeased with the great architect
and imprisoned him in the high tow

CURED to Daedalus, thinking thus to
escape from the tower. His son lea
rus was with him, and he made wings
for him also. It is said that the work
was SO skillfully done hat father and
son rose like eagles and directed
their course over the sea.
It seems that the feathers of the
wings were fastened with wax; and
Daedalus cautioned his son not to go
too near the sun, for fear the heat
would met the wax. But the young
man was headstrong and his daring
fight made him think that all things
were possible to him, so he disreoard-
ed his fathers iniunctions and ap-
preached so close to the sun that the
wax melted, the wings collapsed, and

Dadalus' Wings.

Most boys and girls have heard, no
doubt, the old NEUROLOGICAL story of
Daedalus, the man who made himself
a pair of wings, on which he few
about in the air like a bird. That is
what is told of him at least, and
though he did many other wonderful
things it is his wings that gave him
his fame.
You must not think that all the
strange stories of mythology are
mere fancy sketches of the old
writer's, for many of them are found
ed on the achievements of real men
achievements so wonderful that
they were quite naturally exagger-
ated when an account of them came
to be written.
Take Daedalus as an example. We
know that he did not really succeed
in flying with his wings, but it is al
together likely that he made the ex-
pertinent, and when the story of it
got abroad it was all dressed up and
m~agnifed in what we would now call
a sensational way. For it is proba-
bic that Daedalus really lived and
that he was quite a famous. man.
His home was in Athens, where he
mad a great reputation as a sculptor
