There is decided movement
in the schools to provide libra
ries for each one of the build
Ings. Under a new law the
Board of Education has to fur
hlsh $40 tor each School that
raises a similar fund and it looks
as If every school in the parish
would have the required amount
in very short order. Some OF
the school have already raised
the required amount and some
o. them have raised more. For
instance the school at Patout-
vile has already raised $50, the
Jeanerette School $50, the
Robichaux school $40, and
there is a movement on foot to
raise even bigger funds for sew
eral of the schools.
These amounts are of course
only preliminary for it requires
much more then the sums men
toned to provide even a re.
spectacle library and it would
probably be necessary to raise
at least 500 to start a library
in a school that would have
enough books to keep the chill
dren supplied.
The teachers and parents OF
of Julia Street School are plan
ming an entertainment for the
2 grid instant that will be sue
cess and it is hoped to raise at
least 500 for the library fund.
All the little ones of the school
are busy in preparing for the
event and are planning to fur
nIsh the refreshments for a
multitude. There will be many

N the afternoon and ball in

hat the crowd in Fire Hall No. |
Z will doubtless be a large one.
There will, be meeting at
he High school of persons and
:eachers interested in the schools
when the matter of the library
will be discussed. 1t is expect
d that regular plan for the
provision of libraries for all the
chools in the city will be deve-
oped.

Constipation

Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring
prompt relief for Constipation. With others,
coarse allwheat bread viii have the same effect.
Nature undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to
relieve every ailment known to man. II physicians
can but find Natures way to health. And this is
strikingly true with regard to Constipation.
The bark of certain tree In Caifonia-Cas-
cara Sagrada-OiTers most excellent aid to this
end. But. combined with Egyptian SIENNA. Slip
perry Elm Bark, Solid Extract of PrImes. etc. this
same Cascarn bark Is given its greatest possible
power to correct constipation toothsOme
Candy Tablet called Lax-ets is now made at the
DR. ShOop Laboratories, from this ingenious and

patton Biliousness Sour Stomach, Bad Breath,

1t is learned from a member
of the Opera House Committee
of the B. Z. 0. Elks that there
is every prospect that the opera
house will be actually under
way in sixty days. 1t is said
that there is not much to be
obtained yet in the way of sub
scrlptlons to guarantee the sue
cess of the plan beyond all
doubt and the committee will
soon 60 out again when it is
certain that the deficit will be
made up.
Otter financial arrangements
are reported to be in satisfactory
condition SO that it really APP
pears as if the plot would be
perchased and the plans drawn
and the arrangement made for
building in the mentioned.
There is a demand for an
opera house here. Manv COM
panies that travel through here
to points west or east would
stop off If there accommodation
for them. The people herf
would then have an opportunlkb
to see all the plays without ION,

mean $1,000 a day or

Lewis and Kerr OF the State

go over the route. The three
will act as an expert jury and
be able to definitely determine

Is Hetty Green happy? An eastern
paper has devoted a page to a sympo-
sium of views on this question. I'm
fortunately, Hetty's own view was not
included. The consensus Of conviction
was that she Is an unhappy woman be-
cause she is so rich that she is to be
pitied because she lives friendleSs and
alone; that she is mean because she
wrangles with the grocer and washes
her own clothing, and that she cannot
be happy because she walks in "a vain
shadow" and disquiets herself, heaps
up riches and cannot tell who will
gather them. The value Of this decision
depends entirely on the point Of view.
If a symposium Of multi-millionaires
should tell US that Hetty Green must
should be bound to believe them, for
from actual experience they would
know whereof they speak. But the
fact is that we hear precious few rich
people complaining that riches bring
unhappiness. So it is quite safe for
us to guess that some people may be
happy, though rich just as some others
may be unhappy, though poor. Is the
scientist unhappy because he has made
more discoveries than his fellows? Is
the scholar unhappy because he knows
more than the average man? Then why
must the one who devotes his acumen
and zeal to business be unhappy be-
cause they have achieved for him more
than is gained by most? The money
maker finds his Joy in his work, just
as any other man does. Simply be-
cause he has emancipated himself from
all reasonable physical want, it does
not fellow that he has got out Of the
game all the JOY there is in it for him.
1t Is unquestionably true that happi-
ness is not prOportionate to riches. 1t
seems to be a law Of nature that the
men most endowed with the instincts
through which money is accumulated
are deficient in the higher tastes and
generous impulses through which
wealth may be enjoyed. We look at
wealth from widely different stand
points. The money maker finds his en-
joyment in the making of it; the miser
finds his in the possession Of it; most
of us find ours in the spending of it.
Then who shall say that as the word
happy" goes, the one who has money
and does not enjoy spending 1t is any
less happy than we who enjoy spend
ing 1t, but haven't got it?

WHAT ENERGY WILL DO.


What the official board Of a Brook
lyn hospital was unable to do, that
Is, to get a second horse for its ambu-
lance, was accomplished by a boy. This
lad, says the New York Tribune, was
brought into the hospital with severe
doctors begged him to rake some anes-
thetic while the injuries were being
dressed, but he pluckily refused.
In the same room at the time were
two other doctors, discussing what a
severe strain the hot weather had been
on the ambulance service. 1t was stat
ed that the work was proving too much
for the single horse, and the fear was
expressed that he might give out. Men
tiOn was made Of the fact that various
appeals for money to buy another horse
had been unsuccessful. No thought was
taken that the boy, who was suffering
great pain, had paid any attention to
the conversation in regard to the need
for another horse. But he was on the
alert, as was shown later.
He was in the hospital four days.
during which time he became a great
favorite among the nurses and doctors,
on account of his sunny disposition.
One day early In August he came back
and asked for the superintendent.
Have you got that extra ambu-
lance horse you wanted?" he asked
He was told that the horse was still
only In prospect.
well, I've been collecting money for
that horse" he said, land l expect soon
to have enough to buy as fine a one
as there is in Brooklyn"
Then he showed a much-worn sub
scription list, which showed pledges of
from ten cents to several dollars,
amounting in all to nearly ten dollars.
The boy had canvassed all the store
keepers in the vicinity, and his enthus-
iasm had won small amounts from
them.
This showing of interest on the part
of the boy so encouraged the officials
of the hospital that they renewed their
efforts for money, and the prospect is
now that the second horse will be pur.
chased In a short time There is talk
of naming him after the boy, whose
appreciation Of the care that had been
taken of him had made the acquisition
| possible.

The need Of more men in the army
and in the navy is attracting serious
attention. General Mills, the chief of
artillery, reports that, although nearly
$4,000 officers and men are required
to man the coast defenses Of the Unit
ed States, only a few more than IA
900, Of all ranks, are available. The
need of more artillerists is especially
pressing, for modern guns are compli-
Gated machines, a knowledge of which
cannot be mastered in a moment. The
same need is felt in the navy. The
present complement-otficers and men
included-is only about one-half what
1T should be to man the ships properly
In time Of war. Seven thousand addi-
tional enlisted men alone are required.
The need in the navy increases. of
course, whenever a new war vessel
goes into commission.
