Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-12-05

The round table whereat we dined was spread inside the open door which led to the garden, so that October sunshine fell full on the spotless linen and quaint old plate, and the fresh balmy air filled the room with the scent of sweet herbs. Louis served us with the mein of major-domo, and set on each dish as though it had been pea cock or a mess of ortolans. The woods provided the larger portion of our meal; the garden did its part; the con- fections mademoiselle had cooked with her own hand.
 By-and-bye, as the meal went on, as Louis trod to an fro across the polished floor, and the last insects of summer hummed sleepily outside. and the two gracious faces continued to smile at me out of the gloom-for the ladies sat with their backs to the door-I began to dream again. be- gan to sink again into folly-that was half pleasure. half pain. The fury of the gaming house and the riot of Za- toms seemed far away. The triumphs of the fencing-r they grew cheap and tawdry. I thought of ex- istence as one outside it. balanced this against that. and wondered wheth- CT. aftF all. the red soutane were so much better than the homely jerkin. or the fame of day than ease and safety.
 And life at Cocheforet was all after the pattern of this dinner Each day. I might almost say each meal, gave rise to the same sequence of thoughts. In Clon's presence, or when some word of madsm's, unconseiously harsh, re- minded me of the distance between us. I was myself. At other times. in face of this peaceful and intimate life, which was only rendered possible by the remoteness of the place and the pc culiar circumstances in which the la dies stood, felt a strange weakness The loneliness of the woods that en- eircled the house, and here and there afforded distant glimpse Of snow-clad peaks: the absence of any link 10 bind me to the old life.

DESERVE CREDIT.

Realizing the Importance of
good roads, especially those
leading into town, a number OF
citizens recently organized a
Citizens Road building Associa-
ton for the purpose of contract
ing for and maintaining good
roads, especially in the third
ward. But it was recognized
that the cooperation and assist
ance of the Police Jury was
necessary for the success Of the
move, and accordingly Judge O.
C. MoutOn and DR.. N. P. Moss,
representing the Citizens Road
building Association appeared
before the Jury at their meeting
Thursday and made a PROPOSE
ton as to the roads of the third
ward, as will be seen in the pro-
ceedings published in another
column. And it is greatly to the
credit of the Police Jury that
they promptly accepted the
proposition, for it showed that
the members of the Jury ap-
preciated the fact that a
thorough business organization
managed by business men gave
such fair promise Of effective
work as to deserve full trial.
And it proved. too, that the Jury
believes in good roads and are
ready to try a way Of improving
the roads that appears to them
reasonably certain of giving
satisfaction.

in this respect is manifested by

duct the affairs of this corpora

This is certainly showing a lot
of public spirit. 1t is seldom
you see men invest in stock COM
panies unless they are practically
guaranteed that their money
will carr some interest. Of
course, with good roads every
body is benefited, but it is
generally a hard proposition to
make men go into an organization
in which their benefits are to
come back in the abstract. Hur-
rah for the good citizens of
Lafayette!

LEASE OF SCHOOL LANDS.

LII ~N0AANV W1VAA puOAAN
notice duly given, the parish
treasurer will offer for lease
next Saturday all the public
school lands of the parish.
Formerly these lands brought
only a nominal rent, but in late
years, owing to the determined
stand taken by the School Board,
rentals more in accord with the
real value of the lands have been
obtained and a corresponding
increase in the school revenues
has resulted.
There is no good reason why
school lands should not bring as
high a rental as lands of the
same quality owned by private
individuals, and there is every
reason for making these public
lands produce as much revenue
as possible when there is such
urgent demand for larger sup
port of the schools than what is
now received.
Taking a plain business view
of the matter, the School Board
has, within the last few years,
given some intelligent attention
to a better drainage of the school
lands by means of bitches and
canals, where needed, and this
has so improved the productiv-
ity of the lands as to make them
command higher rental values.
This is good business sense on
the part of the School Board, as
is also the requirement laid down
for the future that the lessee
plant each year at least one
bushel of peas to the acre on
one-third of the lands leased by
him, it being understood that
corn may be planted at the same
time on the same land on which
peas are required. This condi-
ton to plant peas applies to the
land in the Fourth ward only,
which has been under continuous
cultivation for a long term OF
years without the benefit Of
fertilization. If it is good to
restore and preserve the fertility
of lands privately owned, it is OF
no less advantage to apply the
same rule to public lands. and
the School Board, as trustee OF
the school lands, only shows that
it realizes a due sense of it's
responsibility in the matter by
preserving and improving the
fertility aud prOductiveness Of
the lands from which comes {
considerable portion of the
revenues for the support of the
public schools. And, upon the
other hand. the planting of peas
under the reasonable conditions
imposed, will in no wise operate
to the disadvantage of the lessee
but, on the contrary, will re
dound to his benefit in the end
even to the point of literally
reimbursing him for the cost o.
the peas used for planting, in the
abundant and valuable forage
crop which win follow.
Good lands for rent are grow
ing more and more scarce every
year, and the demand for such
lands is becoming more active,
As an evidence of this fact,
inquiries have been received
from neighboring parishes re-
garding the school lands in Lafa.

be offered for lease next Satur.

ANIMALS ADDED TO ZOO.
Several Recently Received, Including
Species of Wild Goat.

Several animals have recently been added
to the splendid collection at the National
Geological Park. Among these are mark
hor, new llama and a pair of Burrhel
sheep. a center of attraction at the Zoo
yesterday was the flying cage, with its mix
ture of strange animals, which but few
Washingtonians have yet seen.
The new arrival known as the markhor Is
a species of wild goat inhabiting the high
mountains of Afghanistan and Kashmir and
are noted for their fine horns, which rise in
graceful spirals from their heads They are
a grayish fawn in color with black boards
which in the old males reach TO the ground
The specimen at the Zoo is young buck
captured in Afghanistan and obtained
through British sources. He occupies a mad
dock next to the Tahr, in company with
some Angora goats
The two Burrhel sheep are but a few
months old, and are the first ever exhibited
In this country, it is said. They reached the
zoo almost direct from their native noun
Jams, and are wild and shy. While the
Burrhei Kids remain far away from the
feEce and the crowd as possible and little

EPOCH IN OIL INDUSTRY
output West of the Mississippi Was
Greater Than Eastern Production

According to a report issued by the geo
logical survey, the total output of crude
petroleum in the United States in 1904 was
1908, 421 barrels. The total value of all
the petroleum marketed in the United States
in 1904 was s1o1, 170,466 The gain over the
production Of 1903 was 1902, Os4 barrels in
quantity and S6,476,416 in value
For the first time in the history of the
petroleum industry the quantity of oil pro-
duced west of the Mississippi river was
greater than that produced east of that
river. New pools were discovered during
1904 in Texas, California, Kansas, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma and many extern
sions were made TO the old fields An i'm
mense section, beginning in southeastern
Kansas and extending southwestward into
northern Indian Territory and Oklahoma
now over $50 miles in length and fifty miles
in width, was proved to be locally produce
tive of petroleum and natural gas The re-
port says that all indications point to an
increase in the production of petroleum in
the nited States for series of years The
increased demand for petroleum in this
country is attributed to the use of that artf-
Gle in automobiles.
