Smooth water runs deep" is
an old saying and a true one.
No lad ever sought a stretch of
water where he could see the
gravel bed as a good fishing hole,
and like wise you never saw a
man who talked the whole day
through who was worth a cuss.
He may have succeeded in fool
ing a few of his friends, but the
general public never fails to place
the true estimate upon him; and
whenever the general public
characterizes a man as a wind
bag, one can rest assured that he
is nothing else. The man who
has a chronic diarrhoea of words
had just as well pull up stakes
and move to Patagonia, for he
has no place in a civilized COM
munity, where men are busy and
have to work for a living.

SAY BOTTOM
IS SAND

There are men who were EN-.
ployed in the actual construction
work of the new city water reser-
voir who say that the claim of
Councilman Pratt that the work is
not done in competent manner is
correct. Before the work was done
these men predicted that when
the water was let into the reser-
voir 1t would leak. 1t is claimed
that it is very easy to find out
whether the bottom of the reser-
voir is laid on sand or not, by let
ting the water out and sending
pick through the bottom. 1t is pos
sible that some such action may be
taken to settle the controversy as
to where the leak really is and
whether or not the reservoir is of
faulty construction.

MONROE, A.,FIRSTC CITY
TOWN STREET CARS

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. I'm
spite of all the talk of municipal
and government ownership of pub
lie utilities which has been going
on throughout the country for
years, it has remained for Monroe,
Louisiana city of 10000, to open
the ball with the first municipality
owned street car line.
On September 20, with an old
fashioned southern barbecue and
general jollificat!on, this street car
line will be formally opened, In
the meantime cars are being run
over the line and the people Of
Monroe are enjoying the novelty
OF a rid on a street car line which
they themselves own.
Eight years ago Monroe elected
as mayor Dr. Andrew A. Forsythe,
a man with ideas. He believed in
doing things, and the first thing he
was pledged to do by the platform
on which he was elected was to
make Monroe an up-todate city.
The results of the last eight years
show what a man can do if he
makes up his mind to it.
The year that Mayor Forsythe
first took office Louisiana adopted
q new state constitution which per-
mitted municipalities to issue
bonds for public improvements. At
the election an issue of s155,000
was voted, Monroe being the first
city in the state to take advan-
tage of the new provision, there
being only eight votes against the
issue.
This money was to be spent as
follows: Street paving, $4,000;
sewer system, $4,000; charity hos
pital, $4,000; high school building,
100000; light and water plants,
100000.
Prior to this time the only public
utilities in Monroe were water and
NSHunE pant, Wnlcn We're owned
by private concerns. The service
in both cases was poor, and a tax
of 9:5 mills had been previously
voted to pay the private companies
for service. The new mayor had
shown the people that if these fran
chises were profitable to the pri-
waite companies they We're much
more valuable to the city itself.
The 100000 in bonds voted for that
purpose was used in buying the
two plants, and Monroe had begun
its march towards complete NUM-
cipal ownership. The special tax
was at once abolished, and light
and water were furnished at the

ANOTHER BOGUS BARON:
ANOTHER BROKEN HEART

PARIS, Sept. 12.-Another pitt
full tragedy has resulted from the
hasty marriage of young Ameri-
can girl and a penniless, unprin-
cipled European aristocrat. coming
to a pathetic climax at the Grand
hotel here.
There is much mystery attached
to the case, for the name of the un-
fortunate girl has not become
known, the police Withholding it
at the request of her relatives. The
man is named Baron Santos Dolivo
Won Dobrowolsky Donneramark.
The couple were married as the
outcome of brief acquaintance at
Hongkong and Manila. The mar
riage was performed In the Chapel
of the Assumption at Manila by the
chaplain Of the United States army
on June 4. The baron captivated
the young girl by accounts of his
exploits as telegraph expert to Gen.
eral Stoessel during the siege Of
Port Arthur He declared himself
to be the nephew and only heir of
the Count Henckel Won Donnera-
mark, one Of the most illustrious
noblemen of Germany, and to be
a cousin and business associate of
Marconi.
After the marriage, plans were
made for eturning to America by
way of Europe. The bridegroom
then confessed himself short of
money. He said he had a large de-
post In a Chicago bank, but the
bank had been crippled by the San
Francisco earthquake.
The bride, who was we'll supplied
with money, gave all she had to her
husband. who secured passage for
e Paris.
The baron had declared that at
Naples he would receive s25O0 from
his uncle. but this money, of
course. did not appear. and his
wife began to become somewhat
suspicious. He quoted her with
plausible explanations.
At Paris the couple put up at the
Grand hotel, and the baron tried
TO obtain more money from his
wife. She could give him no more
Immediately. so one morning when
the bride was taking a bath the
baron gathered together all her
Jewels. valued at $4,000. together
with some little money she had,
and the checks for their trunks,

P0LLY'S CORNER

Sufferers from rheumatism
should dress entirely in wooden and
dust the inside of their clothing
with flour of sulphur. They should
not take beer. acids, sweets, sugar
or pastry, but should take plenty
Of milk, celery, stewed in milk and
onions. They should rub the joints
with brine of salt, rubbing until
the skin is dry.
Children should have plenty Of
mill, plenty of flannel, plenty of
fruit, plenty of fresh air and plenty
of exc<ise.
Cold water baths may be taken
either morning or not, but a hot
water bath should be taken just
before retiring, as it is relaxing.
Meat should not be placed direct
ly on the ice for preservation, as
water draws out the Juices and
makes the meat insipid, The meat
should always be hung up. To
keep it from the flies wrap it in
cloth moistened with malt vine
gar. Never rub salt into the meat
to preserve it, as the salt extracts
all the juices.

They may be lovable, but for sani-
tary reasons one should never kiss
animals.
