GAMBLING-PLAIN AND EX-
PLICIT.

In charging the grand jury of Rapides
parish, Judge w. F. Blackman in re-
ferring to gambling said Under the
Constitution gambling is declared to be
a vice and should be suppressed. The
Legislature has seen fit to pass laws
against gambling, banking games Of all
kinds, and against slot machines and all
species of gambling 1t is made an Of
fense for parties to gamble iii any way,
where they are i'll view of any street or
public road. 1t is against the law to
keep a gambling house, and it is your
duty to inquire into all these matters
and find if the law has been violated 1t
seems that the State of Texas has driven
out a large number Of its gamblers and
some of them are coming TO the State
of Louisiana The law says that man
who makes his living alone by gambling
is vagrant, and can be punished as
such, and it is to be hoped that the po-
lice officers of the town and the execu-
tive officers of the parish will Ill every
case arrest this class of people, who are
leading astray the youth of the land and
are demoralizing to any community
causing i'll many instances the perpetra-
ton of serious crimes in the gambling

BEREAVEMENT.

Deep grief has shrouded in gloom the
home of Mr. and Mrs. o. P. Gahagan.
The brief illness that ended the earth
life of their first born, their sweet
daughter, Louise has brought sorrow to
many hearts besides the stricken parents
and the little sister, whose young life
is lonely and sad without her loving
companion.
A thoughtful gentle child, Louise Ga
hagan gave promise of all that was
sweet and good and true in womanhood.
She was a devout little Christian, a
member of the Sunday school of the
Methodist church, and OH Easter ex-
pressed a wish to unite with the curch.
To the sorrowing ones we can only say,
all is well with the child; she has been
taken from earth to paradise, where sor-
row and sickness are unknown,
Not without Him who gave life to thee
Could the little one have died,
His grace the same, the same His power,
Demanding our love and trust,
Whether He makes of the dust flower,
Or changes the flower to dust.

NEWS IN BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative.

April q was the anniversary of all
mmortal-Willam Shakespeare. Three
hundred and forty-three years have
passe L since he who became the greatest
in the world of drama and poesy saw
the light of earth Very little is known
with any certainty of this wonderful
man save his literary legacy to the
world, composed of thirty dramas,
classed as tragedies, comedies and his
tories, and his charming sonnets.
Shakespeare is the greatest writer of
the ages Goethe says: Il do not re-
member that any book or person or
event in my life ever produced SO great
an effect upon me as Shakespeare S
plays. They seem to be the work of
some heavenly genius. And Hallam
writes: THE name of Shakespeare is
the greatest in all literature No man
ever came near to him i'll the creative
such strength at once and such variety
Of imagination.
With the exception of the Scriptures,
Shakespeare dramas have surpassed all
other in moldng modern English
thought Even when we do not read
him, we can not escape the influence of
those who have been swayed by him.
For generations certain modes OF
thought have crystallized about his
phrases. and many of lis quote Shake
speare without knowing it. For instance,
"Brevity is the soul of wit whats i'll
a name.' 'the wish was fathers to the
thought, the time is out of joint,
there's a divinity that shapes our ends.
No intelligent person can stduy Shake
speare without becoming deeper and
more varied thinker, without securing
a broader comprehension of human ex-
istence, its struggles, failures and sue
cesses. We can ali subscribe to the tri-
butte paid the great master by Henry
Giles Some writers we are willing to
associate with an age, to associate with
"a country: with others we will not do
this, and we can not. Let Athens have
Aristophanes, but even all Greece shall
not keep Homer. We give Calderon to
Spain. but every nation owns Cervantes
Dante belongs to Italy, Milton belongs
to England, but Shakespeare belongs to
man.
