the State of Louisiana in fact, had ex-
pended one-haIf the energy during the
past twenty years on industrial develop
ment that they have in fighting for the
election or defeat of politicians. their
worldly conditions would be vastly bet

general appearance of their sections and
in material attiuence they would be in a

Some dire temptation meet,
For the world is full of evil
And the future, who can tell?
All! the path to heaven lies very close
To the pathway down to hell.
Then tap on the window, mother,

He may see your fingers reckoning him
From sins enchanted ground.

Then add to the voice Of your earnest

A tap on the window pane.

Self Consciousness.

or all vain and egotIsucal creatures none equals the girl who thinks that people are always talking or thinking about her. Vanity and self conscious ness are ugly twin sisters. Any girl who Is possessed of these ugly sisters Is 70 be pltied and should be glad Co be well r.I of them. as was Cinderella when she triumphed over her less fortunate relatives.
 People have plenty of things to dis cuss and think ab5ut besides their friends. A girl who is In a constant state of wretcheduess on account of what her friends may be thinking or sayIu@ about her Is lacking in common sense. No girl on earth is of such ab- sorblng interest tO her friends as to be continually food for gossip or redec ton.
 The girl who is constantly living iu the thought that her every action and wort Iclue .~i.. .Scl by her friends pr r... lse .nanI. a miserable exist. enc, E.I rNe n.trul part of 1t is ,ha. any youlr at1 Of thls type can .@re'y Ir raGr to realize her own 'p1Ilslugss or the misery iC causes her ..n. ,.maat lr scpms. racognIze the -1urtn truth that supe- 'ensityeness never has found and never can find happiness.
 Some girls are so sensltiye-and very 'coUslly so-that if hy some m chance .hey believe they have given cause for prense they are utterly wretched and -5 about half crazy, wondering what So-anl-so will think. As likely as nOt .hs oNense Is absolutely imaginary and yo-anaso l- not giving the slightest attention either to the supposed OGense pr to the person who Is frctting her lie over lt.
 But if the sensitive girl should hap, pen to really offend or make a mistake let her take her criticism bravely, lei her profit by it. IT she hears herself adversely criticised, she must be truly thankful and acknowledge that 1t Is dearer to her than the sweetest COmpt mem of a friend. II Is only by learn ing our faults that we can know our selves and kill what In us Is dlstastefu 10 others.
