The wedding dress and veil were splendid,
and Fanny looked like an angel in them.
just about FIVE minutes before the time
set for the performance of the ceremony the
bridegroom was announced.
But what was Fanny's amazement to
see Aunt Hildred rush up to him, throw
her arms around his neck and call him her
''dear Earle, and tell him how glad she
was to see him back.
And then Aunt HiIdred led him toward
the bride, and making low obeisance,
went through with the ceremony of an in
PRODUCTION.
"Miss Fanny Shawmut, allow me to
have the pleasure of presenting to you Mr.
Earle Rochefort, to whom you are about
to be married p
Fanny's black eyes blazed, and her little
red mouth unclosed to say something spite
ful, but Earle stopped it with a kiss,
which is always an excellent way to stop
woman from scolding.
The wedding came off Just as though
nothing had happened, though everybody
remarked that Fanny had very high
color for bride. Brides should always
be pale, you know.
1t proved very happy union, though
Fanny is wont to declare to Aunt Hildred
that she never would have married that
Earle Rochefort if it had not been that
she could not bear the thought of not using
that 'lovely dress and veil.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.
The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages
A day to childhood seems year.
And years like passing ages.
The gladsome current of our youth.
Ere passion yet disorders
Steals. lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the care-worn cheek grows wan.
And Sorrows shafts q y thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man.
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath.
And life itself is vapfd.
Why as we reach the Falls of Death.
. Feel we its tide more rapid?
1t may be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives our years OF fading strength
Indemnifying ieetness,
And those of youth seeming length
Proportioned to their sweetness.

MAJOR ARTHUR SIMON

We take pleasure in announcing the
candidacy of Major Arthur Simon for
City Judge of the CIV of Opelousas in the
approaching election, subject to the nom
~ination Of the Democratic party primary.
The name of Simon is identified with the
oldest traditions of blshe Stase and is like
a household word. Major Simon Ifather
was one of the judges of the Supreme
Court of State for a number of years
in ante-bellum days, who served with dis
tinction with Judge Billiard. Judge Gar
land and other distinguished Judges, who
adorned the Supreme Berch at that time.
Major Simon is a gentleman of culture
and refinement, is a lawyer by profession,
having been admitted to the practice of
law many years ago. His knowledge of
his profession peculiarly fits him for the
position of City Judge. Major Arthur
Simon has been recently successfully elect
Justice of the Peace of this ward for four
terms, covering a period of sixteen years,
thereby showing the approval of his fell
low citizens, who have constantly hon.
ored him with their confidence. During
that long period Of time his judgment,
conscientiously rendered, with few excep-
tions, have been appprovingly passed
upon by the Appellate Court. Judge
Simon was ~ old Confederate soldier
who faithfully served his country in those
days that tried mems souls. He was
weighed on the balance then, and was
not found wanting. He participated in
the battles Of Mansfield, Pleasant Hill,
Yellow Bayou and many others, and was
Major of the Eighteenth Louisiana Con-
solidated Regiment at the close of. the
war. That he is eminently fitted for the
position Of City Judge goes without say
ing, and if elected, we bespeak for him a
conscientious, satisfactory administration
pf an the duties that will be incumbent
uponehim in filling and carrying out the
responsible trust of the exalted position
to which de aspires.

We are not worrying because the sew
enteen ward bosses of New Orleans have
declared for Sanders. We expected
nothing else, and, besides, if the people of
Louisiana desire or will submit to being
bossed by the seventeen ward bosses of

and will stand it as well, at least, as the
average citizen. But we expect to see
the masses repudiate the bosses. A boss

THE LYCEUM ATTRACTION

The second of the series of lyceum en-

der the auspices of the Opelousas Lyceum
Association, was the attraction at the

much better than the audience antici-
pated. The entertainment was good
throughout, and we bespeak for the next

UNIQUE MOTOR HOME OF A CHI
cAGo COUPLE.
Contains Parlor, Bedroom and Kitchen
and Has All Convenences Of a
Modern Hotel, With Exception
of Running Water.

Chlcago-The only auto house in
the world is in Chicago. It is, as It's
name implies, selfpropelling resi-
dence, equipped with living quarters.
wheels and gasoline engine.
The auto house has a parlor, bed
room, kitchen, a hot water heating
system and "A gasoline range, along
with all the other comforts of home.
II is propelled by three-cylinder gas
oline motor, set in motion by levers,
SO that all the owner has to do when
he is tired of one set of scenery,
climate or neighborhood is to place
himself in an easy chair in his parlor,
turn on a lever and start for pastures
new.
The inventor, builder, proprietor and
resident OF the motor home is a Chi
cagoan bearing the illustrious name
of George Washington. He is 60 years
old, and. having no family beyond his
wife, his automobile residence fur
nishes him ample room in which to
live, and his wife. being of simple
tastes, declares herself entirely salts
fed with Il.
In appearance the auto house re-
sembles in manner shortened
freight car, except that It has 81 win.
dowg, which furnish abundant light.
The outside of the house is covered
with galvanized steel, painted white.
The interior is finished in Georgia
pine.
The house as It stands is 27% feet
long and six feet wide The frame
is of oak throughout, including tim
bers, sides, floor and roof held to-
gether by heavy bolts.
There are three doors to the house,
the main entrance in the rear, and
two smaller doors on either side of
the front parlor. On the inside a
partition separates the house into two
apartments, with a doorway, but no
door between. Ventilation is obtained
by an arrangement like that of a
street car, and there is besides flue
ventilator in the roof. The numerous
windows are framed by dainty white
curtains The front room contains a
folding bed, which can be easily
slowed away. A sewing machine
gives a homelike touch to this room.
The steps in the rear lead into a
vestibule, lined on one side with
pantry shelves and on the other by
cupboards for the storage of tools
and other utensils. The vestibue
leads into the kitchen, which occupies
the entire rear apartment. Here is
a gasoline range, with all the neces.
sary implements. a table and chairs
and miniature furnace with a reser.
voir above, which furnishes hot water
