Louisiana Planter.
A complete week of good
weather has been enjoyed by
our sugar planting fraternity
and they have taken the fullest
possible advantage of it and
have been able to do a large
amount of blowing and consider
able planting. The continuation
of dry. cool and clear weather
at this season of the year is
seldom So long unbroken as the
spell we are now enjoying and
which shows no immediate
signs at this writing Of coming to
a termination. The seed cane
is reported to be found in good
condition and a good start is
being made throughout the sugar
district on the 1906 crop.

Startling but True.

People the world over were horri-
fed on learning of the burning of a
Chicago theatre in which nearly six
hundred people lost their lives, yet
more than five times this number or
over 5000 people died from pneu-
monia in Chicago during the same
year, with scarcely a passing notice.
Every one of these cases of pneumonia
resulted from a cold and could have
been prevented by the timely use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A
great many who had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded it off by
the prompt use of this remedy. The
following is IN instance of this sort:

TWO MEN,.

A certain man travelling around
to find a place where to make a
living, came to a little village. 1t
looked good to him and he settled
there and the people welcomed
him. He bought a piece of
ground and paid 5000 for it. AS
time passed the village grew in
to a town, then into a little city,
and the man discovered that the
little piece of ground for which
he had paid 5000 was now worth
$40 900, and yet he had neither
worked it, nor added a single
thing to it. And the wonder
came upon him as to what made
the piece of land so much more
valuable, and he found that it
was because that other people
had come and settled around his
land, had built business places
and beautiful houses and he
raj sed up his eyes and was glad
that he had settled in that little
village where the people were so
good as to make his land worth
so much and give him the diff
ference between $4,000 and 5000
as gift. And it so happened that
whilst the man rejoiced at such a
princely gift from his fellow
citizens, some of his fellow citi-
zens appeared and asked him to
give a few dollars a year to build
a school house for the children,
the future men and women, of
the town. and he said, Thanks"
my dear friends, for giving me
an opportunity to show my great
appreciation of your marvellous
kindness to me. Double the tax
and l will pay it gladly"
And the citizens moved away
and exclaimed. How generOus!"
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1906-02-07

And it was true that in that
same town another man lived.
He too had begun life with but
little of the worlds goods; but
his neighbOrs were kind to him,
and in the course of time he &C.
cumulated land and houses and
money. And he looked around,
patted his hands together and
said, All this l have made, not a
soul has given me one cent" nor
did he in his self complacency
stop as the other man did to ask
why his land was valuable, why
he could rent his houses or why
he had been enabled to become
rich. In his folly he thought
he alone had done it, and
when it came to pass that the
committee of citizens went to him
and asked that he give a small
sum yearly to build a school
house for the children, the in.
nocent children whose right tc
an education is sacred, he grum.

ACTION TO BE COMMENDED.

-
The action of the Police Jury
at it's meeting last Thursday in
apprOpriating a thousand dollars
for the purpose of a good roads
demonstration by the govern
ment experts furnished by the
q. S. Department of Agriculture,
is to be warmly commended for
its wisdom and for it's apprecia-
ton of the fact that the first
step in getting good roads is to
learn how to build good roads.
The good roads demonstration
is now a certainty and will be
made as soon as the necessary
machinery can be sent here.
Mr.. Sheets, the road expert who
will have charge of the work, is
very much interested in Lafa-
yette. He has made a careful
study of the character of soil
here. having visited practically
all parts of the parish, and will
show US the very best way, the
most economical and durable
way, to build dirt roads in this
parish. He will also build some
permanent road, the amount
depending of course, upon the
funds furnished for the purpose.
Now. since we are so fortunate
as to secure this road demonstra-
tion. we should certainly make
the most of it. And that brings
up the suggestion that we don't
act selfish about it, but invite
our neighbors here to profit also.
Instead of having a local affair
just for ourselves, why not con-
vert it into a Good Roads Con-
vention, ask neighboring parishes
and all others that desire to
send delegates and invite every
body who wants to hear how to
build good roads and then see it
actually done to come and spend
a day or two with US.
We want good roads in our
parish and we would be delighted
to see good roads in other
parishes, for which reason we
feel sure it will afford the people
of Lafayette much pleasure to
have as many visitors at the good
road demonstration as wish to
come. But to make them feel
more free to do so, we would
suggest that a special invitation
be sent out by the president of
the Police Jury, the Mayor. and
president of the Good Roads
Association.

MODEL GOVERNMENT
An Article that Reads Well, By
a School Boy.

The situation of this ideal gov
ernment is in a country of very
irregular boundaries. 1t consists
of a mainland with five peninsu-
las. Chief among these is the
Capital Peninsula. There are
two others called the Manual
Peninsulas, and two known as
the Pedal Extremities. The lat
ter bear a close resemblance to
the Italian Peninsula in Southern
Europe.
The monarch of the realm is
King Mind l., whose home is in
the strongly fortified palace of
brain, which occupies the great
er part of the Capital Peninsula.
His majesty's royal council,
which is something like our Pres
ident's Cabinet, consists Of five
members. These noblemen might
be called vassals or sub-lords, as
they are pledged to give their al
legience to the king, and in this
way resemble the Feudal Lords
of the middle age. They are the
Lord of Sight, the Lord of Taste,
the Lord of Smell, the Lord of
Touch and the Lord of Hearing.
The Lord of Sight lives in his
majesty's castle, and is his fav-
orite. 1t is his principal duty to
keep a constant lookout for ex-
ternal troubles, and to notify the
The Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Ark.) 190?-current, 1906-03-07

king in case of approaching dam
ger.
The Lord of Taste lives in the
castle of Tongue, and is the chief
custom house officer at Port
| Mouth. He inspects all imported
goods, and ships them over the
Alimentary railroad to a large
warehouse or factory, where they
are refined and disseminated
throughout the different pro-
vinces, as they are needed.
The Lord of Smell occupies
Nasal Hall, and is assistant in
spector Of imported articles. The
Lord of Touch is chief investiga-
ter of foreign affairs, and the
Lord of Hearing receives all for
eign communications.
The king has great power over
these mobiles, and they can inf1u-
ence him to a great extent. This
serves to hold each other in check
and prevents tyrany on the part
of either the king or his council.
All goes on smoothly except
an occasional revolt in the troub-
lesome little province of Liver
dale, or strike on the part of
the warehouse laborers, on ac-
count of overcroWding with work.
These little uprisings are usually
put down with very little trouble
or expense.
The entire country is kept well
watered by convenient system
of irrigation, much like that of
the ancient Babylonians in the
basin of the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers. There are thousands of
canals running even to the re-
motest provinces, which are kept
full by the constant working of
a large pump, located near the
center of the mainland. Millions
of little red sailors fly up and
down these canals, transporting
articles of food, and gathering
up goods for export, which they
carry to the principle stock eX-
change in the City of Lungs.
This country has the most COM
plete telegraphic system ever
constructed. Every port of the
empire is in direct connection
with the kings palace, and in
case of trouble he is notified at
once, and sends his return mes
sage Immediately.
All these modern conveniences
are controlled by municipal au-
thority, there not being a single |
private monopoly in the whole |
country. Everything works to-
gether for the common good. |
There is no written law, but still
all crime is justly punished by |
the common law of nature.
This model government is not |
a Plato's dream, or a More's
Utopice, but Q real existing form |
of government, which lies with
in the bosom of every human be-
ing, and silently carries on it's
good work, while at least half of
the worlds populace go on their
march through life without ever
knowing that it existed.
