Another Job for the missouri Mule.

There is hope for the Panama canal
since the announcement that the Mis-
souri, mule is to be employed on the
work. He will pull it through, if any,
thing can. You can't fight war, dig
big waterway, build railroad Or
run farm without mule. He is the
greatest factor in civilization despite
his shortness On pedigree and lack of
social standing.-Roseland Herald.

What,s ina Name 2

New Orleans is worried about what
to name the Panama Canal exposition.
The Times Democrat fancies "Bi-
Oceanic, = while Prof. Fortier thinks
Exposition of the Two Seas" would
sound we'll. Somebody else suggests
''Inter-O Oceanic and another candidate
is 'Inter- Continental. Meantime,
until the right name is picked the hoi
polloi will continue to call it by the
obviously proper name, the Panama

The Baseball Fan.

It is certainly amusing to watch
staid business men race across the lot
for the choice seats in the grand stand
at the baseball park and hear them
"root' for their favorites. Ordinarily
these men are too composed and digni-
fed to manifest any interest or en-
gage in anything but the weighty and
serious affairs of life. But let the
score be one to nothing, and all COM
posure and dignity is forgotten. These
men become as noisy and as enthusiasts
tic as q ten-year-old. The ''sporty
blood" which has long been dormant,
is sent coursing through their veins,
filling every nerve and muscle with
life and motion. Get out of the rut
and become a ''rooter." It is worth
several Doctors bills.-Monroe Star.
A Woman Demands Favrot's Resignation.
It has remained for woman to de-
mand the resign alton of Congressman
Favrot, OF Baton Rouge, who recently
escaped indictment after he had shot
down prominent physician of that
city.
The woman g name is Mrs. NJ. E.
Leake. editress and proprietress of the
True Democrat, paper published at
st. Francisville. La. In an editorial
in the last issue Congressman FaVrot
is asked to resign, inasmuch as he is
under the stain of the foul crime of
murder-no trial jury having pro-
nounced him innocent, although the
grand jury in recent session found
"not true bill.'
The state at large is interested in
this case as we'll as the people of the
sixth congressional district, his own.
Whatever the causes, just or unjust,
that made Favrot shoot down his for
mer friend, the fact yet remains that,
SO long as he is a representative in the
national congress, q stigma rests upon
his district and upon the state.
He shot down man whose reputa-
tion had been good, and no jury has
yet declared him guiltless. -Minden

FEozCerS in Sick Rooms

In sending flowers 70 an invalid, great
discrimination must be practiced- In
the first place, be careful not to cause
any extra work to the already over
burdened family.
For this reason, growing plants are
undesirable, and, besides. while the old
Idea that they harmed the sick one by
remaining in the room over night is only
a superstition, IL IS true that the invalid
may easily harm them, especially II they
are much handled
In the second place, do not send
flowers having a very pronounced or
sickening odCr- TuberOses are thus dis
tinctly barred, as are other flowers of
their class.
Thirdly, avoid violent color contrasts
The nervous system is always slightly
deranged and the, perceptions unduly
sharpened in a serious illness, and the
contrast OF vivid reds and pinks and
yellOws may be really harmful. and will
surely be disagreeable to the patient
Choose, instead, delicate plnks, soft
creams. or light blues. On the other
hand, do not, above all, send white
roses, unaccOmpanied by any other
flower, nor an abundance of unrelieved
white flowers OF any kind You might
just as well order a floral pillow marked
AT Rest" for the effect Il Will have
upon the recipient of your mistaken
kindness.
The sick are often inclined to be NOR
bid, and nothing but cheerful sugges-
tons should be presented TO their imag-
nations. Finally. prefer the unusual
flowers You may be pretty sure that
many besides yourself will send roses
and carnations and violets. The little
bunch Of ragged robins or the cluster Of
.old-fashiOned pink peonies will be a
thousand times more appreciated.
And best Of all will be the buttercups
or the hOmely black-eyed Susans which
tell, perhaps, of a far-off happy home
or dear one loved and gone

Hair wet. even infrequently with salt

that soaked every day can only be
saved from looking Ike q streaked brush

course is obviated by protecting the
