An Excellent Composition.

The following excellent COM
position was written by Stafford
William Lusted, the fourteen
year old son of Mr.. Chas. Lusted,
and shows considerable talent.
Stafford is a student of the In
dustrial Institute, and this effort
at imaginative writing is quite
creditable to him, and also the
correctness of the punctuation,
ETC., speaks well for his teachers:
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A NICKLE.
/ was born at the Mint in New
Orleans on January 1, 1889 and
died on July 80, 1899. BY saying
that I died on July 30, 1899, you
may not know what I mean, 50
I will explain this to you. l
mean that I was brought back
to the Mint and melted and they
made another nickle out of me.
l was first in the hands of the
owner of the Mint. I next went
into the hands of the Banker.
Then l went into the hands of
President Roosevelt and he rode
from Washington, D. c., to New
Orleans just by giving me to the
Conductor. This was certainly
a small sum for such a large man
to ride such a long distance l
thought. just imagine how far
I could take you if you were
such a great man as President
Roosevelt. The next experience
I had was in a ditch of water
when the Conductor lost me,
there I stood head over in the
water, every one going by hunt
ing me up, when finally came the
snow, and I was buried deeper
than ever frozen to death, but
the chase for me did not end
there, as after the snow melted
away, there they were again
after me, and all of a sudden
some one yelled out, Il have it,"
and when I came back to my
senses, there l was owned by a
dirty hand and face boy, who
disposed of me for a small pack
age of candy. then went from
one to the other, until I stopped
right in the large city called
Lafayette, La. I am now in the
hands of DR.. Stephens, President
of the Industrial School. and I
am wondering what disposition
he will make of me, but l am in
hopes that l can, like the school
children, remain at the Institute,
as the President and all the
teachers are very nice and kind,
and will treat me well.

IN MEr1ORY OF SOLONOE BROUS.
SARO.


There's q loved one that has left US,
To her heavenly home she's gone,
For the angels gently called her,
And for her, her Maker lOnged.
She has left this world of trouble,
Though of cares she eve knew,
For her life vas young and mirth-
full,
And her joys they were not few.
Oh! Solonge! your playmates miss
you,
And your homes made sad and drear,
For your presence like the sunshine,
Shone its joyous rays on all were
near
Oh! don't despair her loved ones,
By her absence now made sad,
For you all again will meet her,
In the LAND" where all are glad.
A Playmate,
NORA r. TIERNEY.

February UnusuaIIy severe.
February 1905 has been a re-
cord breaker for bad weather in
all parts of the United States.
Cold wave has followed cold wave,
each increasing in intensity and
developing last week the severest
weather known in many sections
for years, especially the north
west and middle north, where
snowfall after snowfall upon
frozen ground has caused, with
the wind bowling out of the
north, great suffering to man and
beast. Temporary thaws have
resulted in ice gorges in north
ern rivers. particularly the
Ohio and Missouri, entailing ire
mend0us property losses, with
the prospect that when the rise
in temperature comes with the
consequent melting of the ice and
snow, foods will add further to
the suffering and destruction of
property.
The Sunny South, too, has
been in the grip of the billiards..
Telephone and telegraph wires
down with railroads hampered
by snow and washouts from the
heavy and protracted rains have
brought discomfort and pain,
while icy Boreas from his north
ern lair embracing the fair
South, with biting breath kissed
her cheeks, and drove away the
warm. blush Of healthy color,
leaving her trembling with cold.
In Lafayette, with her green
Iprairies stretching away to the
gulf, over which the gentle sea
breezes fan away the blistering
heat of summer and temper the
wintry air, February has reigned
with rain and cold, finding none
prepared for such severity.
The swish of the northern ice
queens garments, too, has waf-
ted freezing air over this land of
magnolias and cape jessamines
and twice within the week
coated the ground with ice and
sleet, while Monday snow dust
from her flying sleigh told of her
royal passage across her realms.
Yesterday his majesty, the sun,
again mounted in his glowing.
chariot and Travelled his beautiful
southern skies. beaming upon
his happy subjects.
