The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1907-09-21
CRIPPLED FOR LIFE

On Sunday large crowds from
here went TO Jeanesette to attend
the closing OF the Fair, to witness
the interesting races, and to hear
Hon. Il. +. l3roussard's address.
Tie trains were crowded to the
limit from this point down.
Young Dorval Toullier, u clerk
at Lees drug store, was q pas
sengcr on one Of the trains. On
account Of the jam on the train
he was content for standing
room on the steps Of one Of the
coaches. When near Jcanerette
the steps Of this coach struck the
carcass of q dead COW. The steps
we're broken and young Toullier
and others were thrown of the
:rain. In falling his left leg was
thrown across the rail and the
wheels Of the following coach
passed over it between the ankl.
and knee.
The unfort Innate boy was taken
to Jeanerette and was attended
by Dr. Minvielle who sent him
back to his homo by special car.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1907-09-21

Hon. Y. + Br0ussard, our own
"Eob," is scheduled ~ one Of the
speakers, the second Oh tho list.
Bob has plead well for others AMI
himself in the past; his efforts
have been crowned With natterin ing
successes; his judgments have
been peculiarly sound in all recon
meDda'ions. These things natur.
ally bring to him, not only the love
Of his people, but their full confd-
ence and respect. On this occas.
ion he will have the advantage Of
never having advocated The can.
didacy Of any one more worthy Of
the high honor to be granted by
tho people at the ballot box.
Hon. Jno. NJ. Parker, the third
speaker for the day, has already
awakened deep interest IN the
minds Of our people by the ripples
OF his speech which have reached
ns from other platforms. On this
occasion IT IN but reasonable TO cx-
pect that hc will give the people
many problems for their reflection
aud his opponents many nuts to
crack.
Hon. Chas. J Threard will be the
last, but having witnessed the ef
fccts Of his past efforts, we feel
that his appeal which
will be made In French will dispel
any notion that his auditors are
tired out. Truly, 1t promises to be
an occasion that none should MISS
aud will be long remembered by |
all who will be fortunate enough
TO bc there.
The merchants Of this city will
DO asked to give at least an half
holiday, for the afternoon in o,d,r
that all may hear the speakers. !,
They would loose nothing in 40 do |
ing. 1t would also be a good pol.
ICY to decorate their places Of
business for the day.

Slftings" states, are said to grow fast
er i'm summer than in winter. The
nall on the middle finger grows fast.
er than any of the other nails, and
that on abe thumb grows slowest. 1t
is also said that the nails on the
right hand grows faster than those
on the left hand. According to rate of
growth stated; the average time tax.
en- for each finger nail to glow its
full length is about four and a half
months, and at this rate man 20
years old would have renewed his
nails 1876 times. Taking the length
of each nail as half an inch, he would
have grown seven feet nine inches of
nail on each finger, and on all his fin
gers and thumbs an agregate length
of seventy-seven and a half feet.

A Cemetery OF 1000 DOGS.

On the occasion of lawsuit brought
by marble cutter some very inter-
esting details have come out in n
Paris court concerning the dog ceme-
terry founded on the lie des Rava.
geurs near Paris, in 1899.
There are alread" 1000 graves" in
the cemetery. Some of them, leased
for long term, have cost as much
as 2000 francs. The lowess price paid
for any concession Is 5 francs, and
the expenses of the most discreet bu-
rial are 25 francs.
Visitors to the cemetery pay so
centimes as an entrance fee. On one
of the tombstones they may read,
Homage to a faithful heart" and on
another Here lies Black, killed by n
civilized savage" The above victim
explains the keeper, died at the hands
of an indignant concierge.
Another marble slab mounted on ce-
ment rock, contains the following:
Neither name nor date, what mat.
ters it?' Aud again: Beneath these
stones reside the material remains of
that which during life was my joy and
consolation"

common in Aberdeen, and the profes-
sors of our colleges generally wear
seven and one-eight to eight sizes,
Heads wearing hats of the sizes six
and three-eights and smaller or being
less than 21 inches in circumference
can never be powerful. Between nine.
teen and twenty inches in circumier-
encc are invariably very weak, and
according to this authority, mo lady
should think of marrying man with

inches are mentally deficient and with
heads under IS inches are invariably
idiotic.
