i0n Had HE Tootl,aehe.

fixing Edward the famous lion
with the Sells loto shows, has quite
history. He is a real African lion,
and one OF the few lions on exhibit
ition that was actually born in the
Jungle, and instead of being secured
while cub was captured when almost
full grown after desperate battle
with native hunters. There is some
thing of the lord1y freedom of the
wild beast in King Edwards walk and
manner, while his great size and the
beauty OF his head and name make
him particularly interesting to stu
dents and artists, and he has had
enough photographs taken OF him
by sight-seers to paper the biggest
house in town.
"Would he hurt any body?" inquired
an amateur geological student, with
one foot in the air ready tornn. "Oh,
don't know. That depends. Maybe
| it wouldn't be good thing for q
stranger to go into his cage. He
would likely resent that as an intru-
sion on his privacy, replied the keep
er. "But he would never make any
row if l was to go to sleep in his den.
The only time ever had any trou-
| bic with Edward was last season on
the road. One day I noticed he had
suddenly developed cranky dispo.
sition. He even resented my going into
his cage. I was at a, loss what to do,
SO l called the doctor with the show.
"Why, he has the toothache,
said the doctor, after examining him.
"You would naturally think the
King would object to anybody fooling
around his jaws, but he seemed to
know the doctor was there To help
him, so after the medicine man had
cleaned out the cavity in one big tooth
and sprayed little sntiseptic solution
into 1t and plugged up the hole with a
| fist full OF amalgum, he never whim-
pered and kept his mouth wide open
without the slightest urging. The
next day he was all right, and has
never had an ache since, 80 far as
have been able to discover. :" As will
be seen at the Sells-Floto shows when

There are some thrilling passages in

these were effectuaIly spoiled one

POLICE JURORS.

Duties of These Onacers-Bus.
tness Ability Qual~
ificatfon.

Among the officers to be chosen at
the primary next January are the
members of the police jury, and IN the
selection Of these officers the utmost
care should be taken to choose only
good men.
The Office OF police juror may not
be an exalted one, but it Is most
decidedly an important one to the
people of the parish. 1t is the local
law.making and public fund disburs-
ing body and upon the kind OF men
who constitute the body depends
whether the public moneys will be
spent intelligently and economically
whether the roads will be made into
good roads and whether the public
schools will receive the generous treat
ment that their Importance demands.
There are other ways also by which
a progressive and liberal police jury
can be of benefit to the parish, and
for that reason only liberal and pro-
pressive men should be placed in that
honorable position.
Where q citizen has served with
ability and zeal as a member OF the
police jury, demonstrating his fitness
and usefulness, 1t is the part OF wis
dom to retain his services, and when
member has shown his unftness
there should be no hesitancy about
retiring him and replacing him with
q better man.
And in all cases the people, If they
consult their own interest and welfare,
will be sure to elect only the best mer
available for police rors.-Lafayette

The man for police juror of his
ward, in this day and time, should be
sought by the people and elected by
them on account of his sound qualifi-
cations as substantial and successful
citizen and business man. Whatever
may be his trade or profession, he
should be public spirited citizen withal,
capable Of carrying conservative pub
lie spiritedness into his work and of
givingthe best results to his constitu-
ents.-Arcadis Argus.

The police jurors are the men who
spend the Taxpayers money. They
are the men to whom the duty OF re-
viewing assessments is intrusted. They
build ourroads and bridges. They are
empowered to appropriate money for
the support of the schools and for
other public purposes. They control
the finances of the parish, and upon
their business ability depends in large
measure the rate OF parish taxation.
For this Office the wisest, cleanest and
most level-headed men should be se-
lected. They should be good business
men, and they should be men who seek
the Office from sense of public duty,
for there is nothing in the Office for
the conscientious man but the con-
seriousness of duty well done. No pol
itician should ever be elected to this
office. No man with an ak to grind
should ever be elected.-Crowley Sig

It is gratifying to note that there Is
a tendency on the part of the state
press to urge the necessity of more
careful selection of the men who COM
pose our parish government-the po-
lice jury. This Office has always here
tofore been looked upon as one of nil
nor Importance, and for that reason
many instances can be cited where it
has been impossible to get good men to
make the race for it. The filling
of no Office in the parish is Of greater
Importance to the people as a whole,
and 1t is to be hoped that the coming
primarywill demonstrate tn the voters
of Calcasieu are beginning to realize
this fact.-Lake Charles Press.

DEMURRERS ARE
BOTH SUSTAINED

Yesterday in the district court

of the defendant in two suits for
damages of $4,000 and $4,000 re-
spectively, brought against the Ameri-
can Lumber company by Mrs. Rose
Rogers widow of r. Rogers, and by
Ernest Lay, respectively.
The suits were brought on account

can Lumber company on the Zuni
Mountain railway a few miles from
ThOreau. The bridge collapsed and
the two workmen were injured, Nov.

dying from his injuries and Lay
claims that he Is incapacitated for
labor.
1t is alleged that the bridge was
constructed Of defective material pro-
cured from the American Lumber
company by IL. c. Westbrook the
bridge contractor.
The demurrer Of the company al
leges that Westbrook was an inde-
pendent contractor and was not COM
PEELED to buy material from the lum-
ber company and that the facts stat
ed were not sufficient cause for ac-
ton. II was further alleged that
the work In itself was not dangerous.
Amended complaints will be filed
by julius Staab the attorney for the
plaintiffs Attorneys Chllders and
Dobson represent the defendants.

HEADQUARTERS FOR
THE FOREST
SERVICE
Chief Inspector Bronson viii
Establish Offices in
Albuquerque.
HIS LINE Is ONLY
INSPECTION WORK

Albuquerque has been selected as
the district headquarters for the For
est Reserve district which includes
New Mexico. Arizona, Oklahoma and
Porto Rico. ID. u. Bronson, chief
inspector for this district, arrived
here today and is busy seeking office
accommodations for this new depart
ment
When interviewed at the Alvarado,
MIR. Bronson said:
''0ur work here w.n be purely in-
spection work and will not interfere
with or overlap the work of the local
supervisor with headquarters in this
city. The pressure became so great
at the headquarters OF the National
Forest service that it was deemed
best to divide the department into
six districts. Albuquerque, being CEN
trally located in the southwest, natur-
ally was chosen as my headquarters.
Four Inspectors.
Each chief district inspector has
four assistants under him. These are
a planting inspector. grazing inspec-
tor, timber sale inspector and a per-
sonelle inspector. They will have
their headquarters here, but their
work wiH keep them visiting the
various reserves most of the time.
"As a result of our inspections in
the reserves. we will make recommen-
dations to the headquarters I'm Wash
ington, and If such recommendations
are approved the administrative body
of the forest service under the su-
pervisors will carry those plans into
operation. For instance, if we re-
commend that the planting of trees
Is necessary on any reserve and our
suggestions are approved, the super
visors viii be given authority to go
ahead with the work.
1t is within our jurisdiction also
to investigate claims held within re-
serve boundaries, and other kindred
matters. Any proposed change in the
boundaries Of a reserve; any addition
to be made to a reserve, or making
an entirely new reserve, all are mat
ters that are acted upon through re-
concentrations made by us"

Los Angeles, Cal, June S.-Accord-
ing TO a statement of railroad OFF,

terday to wreck the southbound Over
land train a short distance south of

1t is said that trackwalker dis

such way as to derail the train.
The scene of the 5ttempt was but a

Evidently Revenge.
Officials are convinced that efforts
to wreck trains are made by a crank
or discharged employe, and are most
inclined to the latter.
other attempts Of kindred nature,
which have been kept secret, lead to
the theory that revenge is the would
be wreckers reason for attempting to
destroy the trains.
