Paris, July 27-France is to have
 an American Beef Trust dumped on its
 fair pastures. Information about this
 Invasion from Chicago comes from the which is naturally opposed to such a scheme. but definite news is wanting.
 According to a statement by Marcel Vacher, president of the Cattle Breed- eds Society land has been bought for building stockyards and packing
 houses at Bonneuil on the Marne. near
 Paris; at Granville, near Havre; and ht Villenave d'Oron. near Bordeaux. Plans for building have been drawn up and sanctioned by the municipalities of these towns, but permission Is still re- qured from the prefects of the re-
 spective departments. Monsieur Vach- CTS opinion is that the American beef packers. damaged by Upton Sinclair's Jungle" revelations, want to make a fresh start on European soil, relieving that their canned goods. bearing French labels. might sell freely, with vut the stigma of Chicago attaching to the goods. The Beef Trust. says M. vacher, aims at supplying meat to France, England, Switzerland. and Germany. In the latter country meat Is scarce and dear, while prices are rapidly advancing in France. Awful effects of the Beef Trust are foreseen by M. Vacher. He says it would ac- quire a monopoly and control prices for its own advantage: 1t would ruin the municipal abbatoirs of Paris while It's packing houses would bring va rious evils to the towns where they were established. which would be "plague-stricken by the water carrying away residue and by the smells" An other American attempt to capture the French meat trade is recalled by M. Vacher He says that some years ago 8 combination of American financiers negotiated at Dieppe for starting stockyards. There will be the idea of ex- porting meat to England and Germany. The scheme was killed by the Dieppe Municipality which was suspicious of American methods both in finance and In meat packing"

COURT DECIDED

Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which

Among statements obtained recently
from users Of this medicine that Is
arousing such universal discussion Is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living
In Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
yard, who said: Perhaps / had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with. / was troubled for
years with my stomach. consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result.
My stomach was in such a wretched
shape that ! could not enjoy a meal
that I ate.
IT was very nervous, and could
hardly sleep; I hac a roaring in my
oars and dancing spots before my eyes.
I felt very bad and weak. Then there
was a very ore spot at the pit of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.
Il heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try 1t. / used four bot
ties, and the improvement in my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quieted, and I am SO much
improved that ! feel like 8 new wo.

Il cannot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have
made me we'll"

wildfire wherever introduced. As Il
have said before, 1t is successful SIM

INAUGURATION OF GOV. NOEL.

ing on what would be a likely pro-

ltyff BOARD AppoNJAKNrs.

Governor-elect Noel 10 being bonn
barded with letters. petitions and
endorsements relative to the levee
board appointments he will be re-
quired to make during the ap-
preaching legislative session, and il
is learned on good authority that
be will not recognize any Of the po-
litical factions now existing in the
delta, or allow his appointments to
be in any way dictated by political
leaders.
This probably means that a clean
sweep is likely 10 follow, and that
many Of the members now serving
on the levee boards will find them
selves jobless when tie new gov
ernor goes into Office. Mr.. Noel in
tends TO make his selections strictly
on the merit basis, and to get rid If
possible, OF the political influences
that have always, TO a more or less
extent, dominated leyee board affairs,
especially in the lower district.
Owing to the goodly amount of
patronage distributed by the levee
boards, membership is always
eagerly sought after by delta citi-
zeDs, and for each appointment to
be made the governor-elect will
probably have a half dozen appli-
cants, The main fights take place

President Roosevelt has rammed
the big stick into a hornets nest by
ordering the motto, in God We
Trust" left off Of coins, remarks an
exchange. Clergymen all over the
country and many Of the laity are
denouncing the culprit in vigorous
terms and calling for the restoration
OF the ancient motto of the nation,
as it is denominated. The presi-
dent takes the position that such a
use of these words contribute to
cause i%rreyerence, and calls attention
to the fact that the motto has been
made a subject Of sport and Jest by
cartoonists, Probably many Of our
readers remember a cartoon that
appeared in several papers some
years ago showing a silver dollar
with Bryan's picture substituted for
that of the Goddess of Liberty and
the motto reading thus: I'm God
We Trust; with Bryan We Bust"
Many people will agree with the
president that there is no good rea-
son why the motto should remain
on coins, There is just as much
reason for putting it on stamps,
government paper Of any kind, or
anything else made by the govern
ment, The wide and constant use
of any motto can only cheaper it
and not increase a spirit Of rever-
ence.

NIGHT.

And yet it seems so full of com.
fort and strength-the night. In
its great presence, our small sorrows
creep away ashamed. The day has
been so full of fret and care, and oul
hearts have been so full of bitter
thoughts, and the world has seemed
so hard and wrong TO US. Then,
night, like some great loving moth.
er, gently lays her hand upon our
fevered head, and turns our little
t%ear-stalned faces up to hers, and
smiles; and though she does not
speak, we know what she would
say, and lay our hot, flushed cheek
against her bosom, and the pain is
gone. Nights heart is full of pity
for US; she takes our hand in hers,
and the little world grows very small
and very far away beneath us, and
borne on her dark wings, we pass
for a moment into a mightier Pres,
ence than her own, and in the won
drous light of that great Presence
all human life lies like a bark be-
fore US, and we know that pain and
sorrow are but the angels of Cod
