There's tale going the
rounds about a little girl back of
town who is great admirer of
"Bob." She has been in the
habit of praying for him among
Others of her friends every night
before she lays her head on her
little pillow. Recently her
mother has noticed that she
omitted Bob's name and after
this had been going on some
time, the mother asked her isis,
why don't you pray for Bob any
mere?"
The little tot thought a
moment and then said, "Its no
use. God don't know where he
is since he's gone off with Will
kinson."

TROLLEY LINE.

Mr.. AIcee A. Folse, of New
Orleans came here Thursday,
to have placed Of record sUrn1
papers relating to the Trolley
Line that is soon to be built
here. While these documents
were OF a personal nature Mr..
j Sc stated that he regarded
the proposition to build the line
as in most excellent shape, al
though the parties directly in
terested could give more inform
alton.
Mr.. Folse said hat the time
was coming soon when this
whole country will be traversed
by electric roads. There is now
a proposition in Latourlhe Par
ish similar to the one here and
he SAID thai IN short time it
would materiaIize. And so
with other sections. The in
dlcauons are, he said, that capt
tai will be invested in these en-
tsrprlses aud the country will
be developed faster than by any
other method.
These enterprises he held
were for the great benefit of the
country and could not come
too fast. The signs are that
before long the entire Southern
part of the State will be a net
work of trcl!eys and that will
mean an increase in the valua-
ton OF property and in the bus
mess OF the merchants.
What this part of the State
needs, said Mr.. Folse is deveI-
opment and the trolley will do
more in that direction than any,
thing else. Personally he would
like to see the development of
these enterprises GO on much
more rapidly than they are, but
the start once made, he thought
would be an encouragement for
others.
As tor the New Iberia line,
he said he thought the prospects
were most excellent. The gen
tlemen at the front of the enter
prise seemed to be confident
that it was assured and that to
him meant that the line would
be built. He could not say
more, leaving that for the gen
tlemen to say themselves.

THE BEST HE COULD GET.
Amateur Gardener Could Not Under stand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout.

The woes of the amateur gardener are very amusing 10 others, but de- cidedly real to the man who has spoiled suit of clothes. blistered his hands and lost his temper in his ef. forts to make things grow.
 A young man, recently married, early in the spring secured sub urban place, mainly with the idea of fresh. homegrown vegetables Every evening he would hurry through his supper and rush out to his garden. where he displayed more energy than skill. But. alas, When many little green things began to break the ground in his neighbors' gardens. his own remained as bare as the Sahara.
 'It certainly has got me beat" he confded to friend at his office one day. T can't understand why not a blessed thing has come up. l planted peas and corn and tomatoes"
 Perhaps the seed were reflective, the friend suggested.
 T hardly think it was that" the gardener replied, flor l got the very best-paid 15 cents a can for them"

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
 TRUST.
Responsibilities of Officers and DI.
 rectors.

Evidently President KingEley of the New York Life Insurance company mas learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibil. ity and duty of directors of corpora tions. Speaking to the new board of trustees. on the occasion Of his cleo. tion to the presidency, he emphasized the fact that life insurance Is more than private business. that life in- surance trustees are public servants, charged at once with the obligations Of public service and with the respon- abilities that attach to going busi- ness which al the same time must be administered as a trust
 He also realizes that similar respon- abilities rest upon the officers of the company. T understand he says, your sanXiety in selecting the men
 who are day by day to carry this bur. den for you. who are to discharge this trust in your behalf who are to ad- minister for the benefit of the people involved the multitudinous and exact ing details to which 1t is impossible for you 10 give personal attention. My long connection with the New York Life-coyering nearly twenty years my service in about every branch of the compauy's working organization, gives me, as I believe. a profound ap- preciation. not merely of the heavy burden you have placed on my shoul- ders, but of the standards of efficiency. the standards of faith. the standards of integrity which must be main- tained at all times by the man who serves you and the polieyholders in this high office
 Best of all. perhaps he feels that words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short of performance. My thanks therefore" l" he continues. for an honor which out. rank5 any distinction within the reach Of my ambition. cannot be expressed in words they must be read out oi the record I make day by day"
