.'hisL~ soak. i have given in my Cir
chtara "A Lie Nailed" a plain statement
of his record and reputation. He has
not attempted to deny a single item in
that bill of indictment, and until he
undertakes to do so it is not my place
to follow him up on side-issues he is
trying to raise, otherwise l might men,
ton some strange "whisperings' from
Rayne, from which place he came be-
fore he inflicted his presence OH Opel
ousas. | don't have to be paid to re-
flute a lie intended to iDjure my reputa-
ton, nor to brand its author as a liar.
Ii it suits his crooked nature to credit
some one else with my exposure of his
.rottenness, it would be more manly for
him to have named the party, who
could then answer for himself. need
only say that it is another lie. He
might fool some One away from here,
but he can't deceive anyone in ODelou-
sas. Everybody here knows the Cigar
sign" that has stood in front of the
saloon on the corner of Court and Belle
vue streets from morning until night
for many years waiting for the drinks.
Nineteenth of the people who have ex-
pressed themselves on my circular adj
NIT its correctness, and some of the
other tenth admit that he got no more
than he deserved. My age is a dishoD-
or in the eyes of this picked sot; | am
proud of my three score years.. which
have not been spent in drunken
debaucheries, and am still able and will
ling to earn a living by honest labor.

politics, not like this bebauched editor
who has had his day in this community,
where no one has any use for him, ex-
cept perhaps some political schemer
who might require his dirty work:

A Fine Animal.

Dr.. James Ray 3s2s39s has been much
hampered in his races d. wn the Missouri
Circuit by an ailing tendon. He took a
record of 2:27 1 4 at Springfield, Mo-,
last week. This ia no way marks the
limit of his speed, as he has Il trial of
2:12 IA. 1t is to he hoped for the sake
of owner C. E. Buagni, of Opelousas,
La, that his ailing member will permit
him to reduce his record. He is highly
bred: Nutwood-McGreg
should make a reputation as a sire.
The Horse Review, Chicago, ILL.,, Sept.
rs, 1905.
He will start again at Dallas State
Fair in 2:27 class. 1t is expected he will
take a low record. After this oweing
to lameDess from an accident, he will
be retired to the stud, where he should
make Il great reputation as Il sire.

this stamp to breed to as he combines

soule Business College, New Orleans.

The Soule Business College of New
Orleans, is entering upon it's 50th An
nnal Session, having been founded by
its present president. Col. George Soule
in 1856. The old saying, nothing sue
ceeds like success" is certainly true of
this reliable and favorite school. Its
popularity grows with the years, and
last session the record was broken in
number of teachers, number of students
and number Of graduates, 1919 differ
ent students were enrolled and the
commercial shorthand graduates num-
bered 162. The faculty consists of 30
experienced teachers. This exception
al record justly entities the Soule Col
lege to the claim it makes of being "The
SOuth's Greatest School OF Business.
Always the Leader The practical
character of its courses of study is well
known to coves 10000 former students,
and as the school makes it a point to
progress with the age it is now doing
the best work in its history. A careful
reading of it's circulars will prove of
interest to ambitious young men and
women who wish to prepare for better
positions, and future promotions.

Kill All Mosquitoes.

Az our health authorities have Or
dered that all the houses in town be
fumigated, and as our people have
shown a c~ommendable desire to ami
hilate the mosquito, and believing that
il the mosquito ia to be destroyed, the
work of fumigation must be we'll done,
we reproduce the following instruc-
tions, issued by DR.. j. HI. White, of the
Marine Hospital Service, who ia in
charge of the health situation in New
Orleans, and coneurred in by DR.. Cult
eras. the eminent Havana yellow fever
expert. for the guidance of the public /:
1. Remove all ornaments of metal,
snch as brass, copper, silver and gilt,
from the o that ia to be fumigated.
All objects of q metallic nature which
cannot be removed car be protected by
covering the object tightly with paper,
or with o thin coating OF vaseline APP
piled with a brush.
q. Remove from the room to be flu
migated all fabric material after thor
ough shaking. Open all drawers and
doors of furniture and closets.
8. The Dom should be closed and
made as tight as possible by stopping
all openings in chimney, floor, walls,
keyhOies and cracks near windows and
doors.
4. Crevices can be closed by pasting
strips of paper Gold newspapers) over
them with a paste made of flour.
8. After the room has been prepared
roll sulphur orflowers of sulphur should
be burned in the room, one pound to
every five hundred cubic feet of air
space, or about six pounds to an Ordi-
nary room.
6. The sulphur should be placed in
an iron pot (1at skillet preferred), and
this placed on bricks in a tub or other
convenient water receptacle with about
n inch of water in tue bottom. This
is precaution which must be taken to
guard against accidents, as the sulphur
is liable to boil over aud set fire to the
house.
q. 'fhe sulphur ia readily ignited by
sprinkiing alcohol over it aud then
lighting it.
G. The apartment should be kept
closed for two hours, and then opened
up and we'll aired.
To find the cnbic contents Of the
room, multiply the length of the room
by the width, and this total by the
height, and to find the amount OF sui.
phur necessary to fumigate the Dom
divide the cubic contents by 500, and
the result will be the mount of sui.
phur required in pounds.

A school boy wrote the following on
the subject Of 'girls:"
Girls are sisters of boys and has long
hare, wares dresses and powder. The
first girl was called Christmas Eve,
though / never could tell why. Moosi
every family has one girl and most of
'em that is in hard luck has two OF
three. We have a girl in ourn, who lie
my sister. Girls can grow older and
get younger at the same time. My sis-
ter has been twenty-five for three years
and some day we may be twins. Girls
play the pianner and talk about each
other. Fat girls want to be thin and
thin girls want to be fat, little girls
want to be big, and big ones want to be
little. and all Of them want to marry
d00ds. Why the Lord made girls no.
body knows, but | think it were to go
TO church and eat ice cream. There is
three kinds of girls, brunei girls, blonde
girls and girls that have money. All of
them think they are putty, for they
spend most Of the time looking at
themselves. Girls is afraid of mice and
bnRs. which make it fun to put 'em
down their baks.

A Judicious Inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard of druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for a child or
for an adult. and if for q child they al
most invariably recommended Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always cures.
There is not the least danger in giving
it, and for coughs, colds aud Group it is
unsurpassed. For sale by all druggists
and patent medicine dealers.
