THE BROUSSARD CANVASS.

In the first primary for District
Attorney, held OH the Goth July, Hon.
Edwin Broussard received 219 more
votes for District Attorney than either
of his opponents. Figuring on this
handsome majority rs n starter we
feel confident that Mr.. Broussard will
greatly increase the number as his
canvass is vigorous, manly and digni-
fed and elects the admiration and
support of of all thinking voters, who
desire integrity and intelligence in an
officer, whose functions call for the
exercise of rare and varied talents,
all of which are the heritage and ac-
quirement of our brilliant Young law
yer candidate. The voters can make
no mistake in recording their votes
for him next Tuesday, August 9th.

THE CONTEST FOR JUDGE.

A communication appears in anoth-
err column, signed by Mr. Robert Mar
tin and others in which the impression
is sought to be made that because these
gentlemen supported Hon. Dan Voor-
HES in the previous primary and will
now support Hon. Don Foster, there
fore the entire vote given VOORHEES,
will do likewise. Mr.. VOORHEES, car
ried 293 votes in ST Martins Parish
by the strength of his own personality,
and his many sterling qualities and
M. Martin ct ais cannot control or
stampede this vote to Judge Foster,
their own votes may go that way but
the larger portion will go to James
Simon to help swell that large major
ty he is sure to receive ON next Tues

AMERICAN APPLES POPULAR
Fresh Product, First Sent to Germany
During Season 1596-97, Creates
Good Foreign Demand.

The traffic in fresh apples and the
various dried fruits produced so abun-
dainty in the United States is an i'm
portant branch of the American export
trade to Germany. The first important
assignment of fresh apples from the
United States to Germany occurred dur
ing the season of 189697, when, stimu-
lated by an enormous crop in the United
States and practical failure of that
fruit In northern Europe, exporters
sent over whole cargoes, which filed
the city markets in German cities and
gave the public an opportunity to ap-
preciate the superior quality of the
American apple. Unfortunately, the
apples had been gathered and packed
for the home trade, and had not been
selected for export. AS result, large
quantities were lost through decay. The
following year brought short apple
crop in America, and few were exported.
Then the trade was taken up more in
diligently. Apples of preferred vari-
cites were carefully gathered, selected
and packed for the continental trade, with
the result that in 1900 the total export
Of fresh apples to Germany reached
1,760 tons. This increased the next
year so that it trebled itself, and tho
American apple made its way into more
general use than ever before, and laid
the foundation of a large and permanent
future demand.

SPIRIT OF
THANKSGIVING
II IL More blessed TO Gee
Than to ReceixIs.
Observation-Disclosures

TN PHILOSOPHERS and philanthro-
W. pists not only indorse the famil-
IL lar and beloved aphorism, 1T is
! more blessed to give than to receive"
but 60 step further and claim that the
capacity to receive is absolutely depend
ent on capacity to spend; that to main
tain receptive attitude towards all the
good and enjoyable things of this world,
one must spend. The same truth is ex-
pressed again in the statement, "He that
loseth his life shall find it," We have
come to interpret this paradox as mean
ing that true happiness is attained only
when the seeker gets as far from his
own personality as possible and inter-
ests himself in the life of the world or
of the individuals around him. In pro-
portion as we give spontaneously will
we receive freely. The gift need not al
ways be tangible and material; it may
be the more valuable because of it's spir-
itual quality. but into whatever we be-
stow some part of ourselves should en-
ter. AS Lowell puts it:
" 'Tis not what we give, but what we share.
For the gift without the giver is bare"
Thanksgiving is the festival of tho
family and for that reason is sad ami
versary to the exiles from home, or to
those who, lacking home ties. are alone
in the world. 1t offers an especial occa-
sion therefore for the bestowal of hap
piness. There is a certain embarrass-
ment about inviting the stranger to
Christmas feast because custom calls for
an exchange of gifts, but no such obli-
cation rests upon the Thanksgiving
guest and the poorest may accept with.
out loss of dignity or pride. The Farm
ers' Voice is right-unless we can truly
feel that we have occasion to rejoice over
our own or some one else's good fortune,
we would do better not to mock honest
sentiment by going through the form Of
an observation of the day; but If the
Thank sgiving spirit is ours, wherever it
is possible let us take down the bars Of
consanguinity and open our hearts to
the family Of the world, instead of
spreading the spiritual and material
feast for me and my wife. my son John
and his wife; us four and no more"

Cape Jumping Hare.

DIR. P. L. Sclater writes an account in
knowledge of the cape jumping hare,
an animal from which the artist, Mr..
Goodchild, has drawn the illustration
is the only one which has ever been
brought alive to England. The spring.
haas, or cape jumping hare, is nocturnal
or, at any rate, crepuscular, in it's hab-
it's. It lives in small communities on
the open veldt, both in ,le plains and
in the mountain ranges, and makes large
and deep burrows in the ground, whence
it energies toward sunset, being rarely
seen in the bright daylight. When
chased in the open it proceeds in great
bounds like jerboa or kangaroo, for
which it's highly developed hind legs are
admirably adapted, and is even said to
move faster uphin than down. Its food
is entirely of Vegetable nature, and
consists of roots and green stuff Of all
sorts. It's flesh, according to lie Vakl.
liant, is very good to eat, and in his day
was much appreciated by the Hotten =.

A COLORADO REGIMEN +.
One Case Where Fight for Country
Was Followed by Fight
for the Pay.

The First Colorado cavalry, after
the war, became famous as the only
organization that failed to receive pay
for its services from Uncle Sam.
The soldiers waited long and pa
tiently, however, and finally they were
rewarded with compensation, says the
Denver Post
There was no government money in
Colorado at the time the regiment was
raised, Neither were there telegraphs
or railroads, and, as cash was needed
to equip the regiment and place it on
war footing, Gov. Gilpin was obliged
to issue orders on the treasurer of the
United States, which virtually amount
ed to paper money. These orders were
taken by merchants and supply deal
ers who equipped the troops. After
awhile the men were paid off in these
orders.
A sensation was created some time
later, however, when it became known
that the governor had issued the Or
ders without. government authoriza-
ton. Uncle Sam repudiated them, and
the troops and the business men of
Colorado found themselves in possess
sion Of thousands of dollars worth of
! these orders, which we're not worth
the paper they were written on.
Gov. Gilpin's intentions were ri ght,
but there was no doubt that he had
| exceeded his authority. The soldiers
i and other holders presented their
claims to congress, but after a long
contest they were declared to be ille-
gal, and were disallowed. Then they
were filed with the court of claims for
| adjustment, and after the war was
over they were allowed in full. Gov.
Gilpin became national character as
a result of this case, while the First
Colorado cavalry was known from one
end of the nation to the other as the
regiment that had to fight for it's coun-
try and fight for its pay.
