hose are allowed to drag on the
ground. wearing them uselessly,
this should be remedied by provi-
ding more carts.
The fremen did very good work
at the Burdin fire, but with such
fine system Of water works and
the abundant supply of hose as We
have, better work can be done with
more decepline and a better un-
derstanding of the arrangement OF
the main pipes and how to make
the connections to- obtain the best
result.
A little study and little prac-
tice is all that is needed.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

Why suffer from rheumatism when one
application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
will relieve the painp The quick relief
with this liniment affords makes rest and

many times its cost. Many who have
used it hoping only for relief from suf-
fering have been happily surprised to
End that after awhile the relief became
permanent. Mrs. v. II. Leggett Of Yum

A New Railroad.

A new Railroad has been organ
lied in New York and New Orleans
which seems to be backed by enter
prisiug capitalists, which is The
Colora Southern, New Orleans and
Pacific Railroad. and the project
is to build a railroad from New
Orleans to Forth Worth.
If we look over the map and take
a direct line from New Orleans to
Forth Worth, st. Msrtinville and
New Iberia are found to be RICH!
on the line. We believe if our
people were to come together and
offer some inducement or call the
attention of those from New Or
leans who are interested in the
building of this new railroad we
could induce them to pass their
line at st. Martinville. The pep
pie of St. Martinville should wake
up and 60 to work at once and give
serious attention to this important
matter.

To Fight Fires.

The fire at the Burdin saw mill
last week showed where there was
lack of dicipline with the lire
lighters and lack of the proper un-
derstanding of the water works
connections.
During the first few minutes,
when the hoee were connected at
different hydrauts on the same
mains, and more hose were con-
nected giving more outlets than
the main could supply, was the
reason for the low pressure. Judg-
ment should be exercised in max
ing the, connections, in order not
to try to get more water from a
main than its own size; il such a
thing is attempted the result will
be low pressure.
No better illustration of this
could be demonstrated than the
attempt to reach the water tank.
the stream could hardly reach half
way, but when one hose on the
other hydrant was twisted, the wa
ter shot several feet higher than
the tank and in an instant the
burning tower and tank were made
safe. The fire department should
study these matters, and the con-
nections should be placed in the
charge Of those 6remen who will
understand them, as REPETITION OF
this last error at fire In some
thick settled sections of this town
will be serious and very costly.
The fremen should occasionally
have some practice, and test the
ospacity Of the mains.
We have also noticed that the
hose carts are too heavily loaded,-

Used Rough on Rats.

A colored woman named Marie
Jones was arrested and jailed Tues
day, charged of having given a
poisoned cake to a negro for whom
she was cooking.
Some three or four months ago
a negro who was with this woman
was taken sick and the attending
physician who was called too late,
could not stop the vomiting, but
he had no suspicion that the cause
was poison.
This time the same physician
was called, and he found two me-
groes with the same SYMPTOMS, both
very sick, he gave aptidotes for
poison, and saved both men, and
began to investigate the cause in
looking up the house, he found
half of a cake, and inquired about
this cake, which was given to one
OF them by the woman, and this
man shared his cake with the 9TH
er man, and both got seriously
sick. The Doctor continued his
search of the cabin and found a
box OF Rough on Rats, and con-
cluded that this was the poison
used. He took the cake and ana
lyzed a piece of it and discovered
arsenic in the cake. The other
piece of the cake was sent to New
Orleans for a complete analyze,
and if it is officially proven that
this cake contained arsenic or
Rough on Rats, the case against
this woman will be very strong,
and the death of the negro who
died some time ago under the same
circumstances will also be investi-
gated.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of

ter than it is, and the other is bet
ter than it looks. There isn't any
other sort.

But this is aside. We put into

Devoe lead-and-zinc: It takes
fewer gallons than mixed paints,
and it wears twice ss long as lead

Character Is Power.

Many think to make money is
making the most of ones self, said
u man of wide experience, but John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., the richest
young man in the world, speaking
Of what he considered the four best
things in life, placed character first,
friendship second, health third and
success last. Beside the character
of George Washington the millions
of some Americans look amazingly
small. William NJ. Evarts said,
As there is nothing in the world
great but man, there is nothing
truly great in man but character -
Character is power. Character is
the stone that will grind every other
stone to powder.
George Horace Lorimer, in "A
Self Made Merchants Letters to
His Son. sums up the value of
character in this way: Its the
quality of the goods inside the wrap
per that tells, when once they get
into the kitchen and up to the
cook" " The merchant, you remcm-
Der, was the head of great pack
ing house, and to impress upon his
son the value of character, he said:
You can cure a ham in dry salt
and you can cure it in sweet pickle,

the painters didn't wait for the wood to
dry.

ever the dealer, who sold the paint,
considers it fair to do. We leave it to
