Bradferd's Sentence Comnuted.

An Associated Press despatch sent
from Washington, D. c., under date
OF Monday, Sept. 8, says:
President Roosevelt today com.
muted the two years Imprisonment
sentence of Judge James L. Bradford,
OF New Orleans, to expire Oct. 20.
Judge Bradford has already served
two months of his time. This winds
up one of the most notable cases of
land.grafting the federal government
has ever fought. The only condition
under which executive favor could be
secured was that Bradford should re.
turn to the government the thousand
or more acres of valuable land in
Louisiana which he had fraudulently
secured, and pay the fine of $500.
Bradford was one of the south IS
richest and most prominent attorneys.
On Dec. %, 1905, he was convicted in
New Orleans of the crime of conspir-
acy, but fought with every legal Wea-
pom possible up to the supreme court
OF the United States until June 10 of
this year, when the doors of the par
ish prison closed on him. Bowed with
the weight of 10 years, and the shock.
ing disgrace, Bradford's condition
became so pitiful as to attract the
sympathetic support of bankers, clergy,
business and professional al men in MANY
southern states. Several United States
senator's and congressman used their
influence to secure pardon before he
went to jail. The president refused
one application. Finally the prison

The report from Ascension, one Of the excap
son, indicates that this parish will also be found
IN the Sanders column.-Iberville South.
Before the primary possibly but
lever again no more. Depends on
who is doing the figuring as to whether
it appears in the Sanders column even
before the voting. Figures don't lie,
OF course, but all sorts of people will
figure, The South is very right,
though, in CHASING Ascension as an
exceptional parish, for that's essen
italy what she is-exceptional and
unexceptionable. We've always known
it and said it, but didn't expect the
Iberville organ to admit the fact so
readily.
Harping on the ancient and rusty
Reconstruction string in order to di-
vert public attention from modern
Democratic misrule, the Shreveport
Times says:
It is partly the memory of these things that
were done by men who called themselves Re
publicans that has kept Louisiana solidIy Dem
ocrsfic since 1876.

 A great many of the coats and wraps are trimmed with braid. the wide black silk braid usually being selected, and hanging passementerie ornaments and dangling tassels and braid ornaments are very much in evidence.

Lamp Shades and How To Make Them.

The fashionable lamp shades are this season pally easier to make than those in vogue during the past seasons because they are much simpler in style and are consequently easier of construction. The very fuSSy shirred silk and satin shades trimmed with Tuches or artificial flowers are happily Eo longer in fashion and al- though the shades seen this season are very beautiful they are all rather plain in outline. The two little sketches show eX- ceient models. either style being easy tO make The shade at the left of the cut Is made by cutting a large circle of fine French cretOnne. with a hoe cut In the center to iii around the collar of the foundation wire frame. The frame can be made to order after the circle is cut, al lowance being made for ruffie which Is formed by the wide edge of the circle being allowed to fall over the smaller edge of the frame. In choosing the ere tonne for the shade. a pattern that has . good deal of cClor and has the ground of the fabric almost covered with the de- sign, will he found most desirable, and only the finest grade of cretOnne should be used. The richly coored fruit and leaf designs are very beautiful. especially

It Is often difficult to remove the grease and soot from iron cooking utensils, but 1t will be found that If the pieces. are placed in an old boiler, with a strong solution of soda and a good sized piece of soap and the boiler filled with water.

After the utensils have been thus cleansed they may he rinsed in clear water, and set on the stove to dry.
 A useful suggestion to those who burn wood in open hreplaces or open stoves is that in putting on fresh fuel. draw the pieces already burning to the front and put the new wood at the back. This throws the heat out and prevents smoke.

Of course in room where the floors and the woodwork are not good. or the windows are narrow or badly placed. curtains and draperies are needed where in a room of rich design and beautiful woodwork, more simple treatment would be preferred.
