A CANE HARVESTER.

We understand that our friend
and fellow-citizen, Col. w. B.
Sharp, has had a patent issued to
him for a cane harvester on
which he has been working fol
the past two years. This machine
is intended to make a complete
job, cutting the cane at both ends,
stripping and delivering same in
bundles to be taken up by the
cart afterwards. If Mr.. Sharp can
demonstrate this to the satis SAC
ton of our cane raisers he will be
looked upon as public benefac-
tor, and will no doubt reap a
handsome reward for his patience
and ingenuity. Being practical
sugar planter for years, owning al
one time an interest in the Hope
plantation OF this parish now the
State convict farm, he is we'll &C
quainted with the needs of the
business, and has accordingly in
vented a harvester that will be a
boon to the sugar growers the
world over.-New Iberia Enter

ability, which has been fully DEM

Answering the Emperor.

The following story of Kaiser Will
liam III. and one of his generals is told
by biographer Of the German emper-
or:
At a review in Berlin the kaiser i'm
patiently reprimanded old General Won
Meerscheldt for losing his wits at a
critical moment
''If your majesty thinks 1 am getting
too old, beg of you to allow me to re-
sign"
NO, no." replied the emperor. "You
are too young to resign. Indeed if
your blood didn't course through your
veins quite so fast you would be q
more useful army leader"
On the evening Of that day the kaiser
and the general met at court ball.
The general was talking to some young
ladies.
"Ah, AIeerscheldt," cried the emper-
or, that is right. Get ready to marry.
Take a young wife, then that eXcit-
able temperament Of yours will soon
vanish"
The general bowed low as he re-
torted:
Il beg to be excused, your majesty.
A young emperor and young wife
would be more than I could possibly
stand"

tells an amusing story Of bear fight
which he thinks is funnier than any
humorous sketch he has ever seen por-
trayed on vaudeville stage He had
been out with guide all day, and to-
ward evening they saw far down the
road two bears sauntering along quite
oblivious Of the presence Of human be-
ings, as the wind was in the wrong d.
rectton. Russell and his guide quickly
jumped behind small thicket, and
when the bears were within shooting
distance the painter let fly and struck
one Of them fair in the side The shot
stunned the animal for moment, and
he was under the impression that his
mate had struck him a terrific blow
when he was not looking. AS there
appeared to be no reason for this chas-
tisement, he proceeded to retaliate by
attacking the other bear. About this
time the guide took a shot at the as,
saulted animal, with the result that
the brute was Infatuated and imagined
he had been struck with undue force
by his comrade. Upon this the two
bears set to and had terrific fight
