There was fott ball gsthe play
ed here last Saturday between the
st. Martinville aud AbbeSille High
Schools which was declared q draw,
neither team making any point.
In our estimation foot ball is q
game which is so brutal that it
ought not to be tolerated in civil
lized cohmunities, and no ihstitu-
tion Of learning, spreading the in
fluence of education and 'civiliza-
tion ought to encourage q game
that has a tendency of making men
brutal. Foot ball should be con-
demned. There are enough other
sports for the exercise and training
of our young men without encou-
raging them to indulge 10 q game
where 90 much brutality is dis
played. We can see no science or
anything elevating is a game
where the strongest and toughest
members of q school are selected
because of their animal force aud
power of endurance. Foot ball
should be discouraged by oul
schools and by the public, and
State laws should be passed pro.
hibiting the training of our boys
to any game that require display
of brutal force.

Keep Your Moral, Mental and Phys

The machine that lies idle is far,

that runs.

A man neglects the working parts of
his body. Normally these parts should
be exercised. He INDUCES his members
In idleness. Whatever vitality and
working force they may have had
when in continued use, neglect causes
the machinery to run stiffly. 1t is the
rust.
A man may neglect to exercise his

Of idleness is soon over it.
A man may neglect to use the moral

THE NEEDLES EYE.
Strange story of How the Sewing
Machine Riddle Was Solved.

Strange story of How the Sewing
Machine Riddle Was Solved.
ELIAS Howe almost beggared himself
before he discovered where the eye of
the needle of sewing machine should
be located. His original idea was to
follow the model of the ordinary needle
and have the eye at the heel. 1t never
occurred to him that it should be plac-
ed near the point, and he might have
failed altogether if he had not dreamed
lie was building a sewing machine for
a savage king in strange country.
Just as in his actual waking expert
ence, he was rather perpleXed about
the needles eye. He thought the king
gave him twenty-four hours to COM
plete the machine and make it sew. If
not finished in that time, death was to
be the punishment.
Howe worked and WNrked and puZ-
zled and puzzled and firally gave it up.
Then he thought he was taken out to
be executed. He noticed that the war
riors carried spears that were pierced
near the head. Instantly came the so
luton of the difficulty. and while the
inventor was begging for time he
awoke. 1t was O'Clock in the morn
ing. He jumped out of bed, ran to his
workshop, and by 8 needle with al
eye at the point had been rudely mod
eled. After that it was easy. This is
the true story of an important incident
in the invention of the sewing machine

St. Fiacre.

There is a pretty bit of history in
the name of that vehicle, the fiacre. ST.
Fiacre was an Irishman of noble birth,
who went over to France in the sew
enth century and lived as a hermit in
a forest near Meaux. His popularity
became very great in the France of
later centuries. When Savage started
public hackney coaches in Paris in
1910 he found the most convenient
center for them to be an inn in the
Rue st. Martin, named Hotel st. Fiacre
and adorned with an image Of the
saint; hence 'fiacre"

ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.
Defined as a Disease That Amicts
Amateurs.


Gilbert X. Chesterton's "Heretics"
contains some of his keenest and most
amusing writing. OF great men he OBJ
serves: 'The first rate great man is
equal with other men, like Shakespeare.
The second rate great man is on his
knees to other men, like Whitman.
The third rate great man is superior to
other men, like Whistler" In the fol-
lowing there may be discovered es
much truth as humor:
''The artistic temperament is a dis
ease that afflicts amateurs. 1t is a dis
ease which arises from men not having
sufficient power of expression to utter
and get rid of the element Of art in
their being. 1t is healthful to every sane
man to utter the art within him; it is
essential to every sane man to get rid
of the art within him at all costs
Artists of large and wholesome vital
ity get rid Of their art easily, but in
artists Of less force the thing becomes
pressure and produces a definite pain
which is called the artistic tempera
ment. Thus very great artists are able
to be ordinary men-men like Shake
speare or Browning. There are many
real tragedies of the artistic tempera
ment, tragedies Of vanity or violence Of
fear, but the great tragedy of the ar
tistic temperament is that 1t canno
produce any art.

Those Who Are Ambitious to BE Use

Those Who Are Ambitious to BE Use
fUI Rather Than Rich.
a young man of ability and great
promise recently refused to enter a
vocation which would yield him a large
income, lest the temptation to become
rich might eat up his desire to help his
fellow men. He feared that the frantic
struggle for wealth and self being
waged by the majority of men with
whom his position would force him to
associate would insensibly draw him
INTO the same vortex of selfishness. He
felt that his ideals would become tar
nished, that his aspirations would be
starved in such an atmosphere, and so
he chose a vocation which would en-
able him to render the greatest service
to humanity.
1t is refreshing thing in q material
age to see people who are ambitious
to be useful rather than rich, who are
more eager to help others than to make
money. These are natures noblemen;
these are the characters which enrich
life and which have pushed civiliza-
ton up from the savage to the Florence
Nightingales and the Lincolns.
One Of the most promising things
about our civilization today is that,
side by side with the greed for gold, is
the ever growing passion of humanity
for good. The number of people who
prefer to be useful to their fellow men
rather than to make money is con-
stantly increasing. This passion for
good is the salt of humanity; it is what
makes us believe in the future of the
race.-Success.

Up Against Long Ordinance.

Nearly the entire tune Of the Police Court was taken up this morning in hearing evidence in the cases of Charles Cason and Will Chambers, negroes charged with selling whiskey on Sun day, and Mayor Atkins held up his yer dict until tomorrow morning. There is an ordinance governing the sale of whiskey on Sunday by merchant or em- ploye and of carrying on business with out a license. Both charges were pre- ferred against the two negroes.
 Cason conducts a restaurant and Chambers was employed by him. Last Sunday several negroes bought whis- key at Casons place of business. It was shown that Cason had a jug of whiskey in his place and one negro testified that he saw the whiskey he bought poured from that jug. Another negro said that Cason sent out for the whiskey he bought, and on his evil dence 1t is believed the Mayors verdict partly hinges.
 Will Morgan pleaded guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct and on agreement the fine of $10 was assessed.
 Moses Jackson was fined $1 for tres passing after warning. He is negro employC of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.

He doesn't like loafer and a vagrant and he is tired of seeing negroes lounge in his courtroom with no other purpose than to kill time The Mayor of Selma has been mighty strict on vagrants md vagrants dread his 'favorite prescription" which is "$45 or ninety days" and the negroes this morning shuddered when he an nounced that he was going to ascertain the cause of their presence in court.
