A court house in certain provincial
town in England stands near common.
During one of the cases that were being
tried there, the counsel was in the middle
of his speech for the defense when dom
key outside began to bray. The judge,
who was notorious for his wit, put up his
hands at this juncture, and said to the
counsel:
"Kindly stop a minute, Mr.. c.; l am
unable to hear two at once"
A little later, while the judge was sum-
ming up, the donkey again brayed, and
the counsel, seeing an opportunity for re-
venge, stood up and said:
"Would Your Lordship mind speaking
a little louder? There is an echo in the
court. "-Ercgange.

Hau9hton Happenings.

Our barbecue last Thursday was sue
cess. We were disappointed at the failure
to secure any Of the State candidates to
speak for US, but the local candidates, with
Judge Watkins, Judge Murff and District
Attorney Sandlin, entertained the crowd
in pleasing manner.
Hon. J. T. Many and Mr.. W. J. john
ston, candidates for the Legislature, were
the first speakers, followed by Hon. w. b.
Boggs, candidate for the State Senate.
Our own Congressman, Judge J. T. Wat
kins, spoke for about forty minutes in a
happy vein, provoking many health giving
laughs, concluding with i; brief resume of
his labors in Congress and urging that his
constituents keep him advised from time
to time Of their wishes as to measures

Only a Printers Dream.

was still.
dreamt saw wallet and a hundred-dollar bill.
OF course thought / thought dreamt and drew
my curtain wide;
But on my sight instanta fell mighty golden tide
From out the endless reaches Of the silent upper
sky
The hand of Old Benevolence each second let 'em
fly.
The jingle of the silver as it struck the window sill
Made me forget the wallet and the hundred dollar
bill;
And l stared in speechless pleasure at the bags Of
cleaning gold,
For the wealth that lay before me-like the truth
has not been told.
Then Of course there came reaction and danced
in jerky glee,
And howled and shrieked in laughter in extremes
OF ecstasy,
Till strong hand clutched my topnot where the
hair is poorly fed,
And awoke me as it broke me from my fancies,
back to bed.
There is often JOY in SORROW there is pleasure, too
in pain;
And I'd sleep week, tomorrow, could dream
that dream again! CLIFTON S. WADY.

made a short talk which was we'll received.
He stated that a report was current that
he would be a candidate for reelection
and, that while a little premature, he did
not deny the charge.
Judge A. J. Murff, of Shreveport, made
the closing speech, which was enjoyed by
all. He said that he had expected to hear
discussion of State issues by the guber-
Material candidates, and that he had been
urged to speak in the interest Of Hon. T. S.
Wilkinson, but as there was no one present
to speak for Mr.. Sanders he felt delicacy
in touching upon the subject; however,
he would venture to advise that the people
would make no mistake in casting their
votes for the gentleman from Plaquemine,
who possesses all the qualifications that
could be desired in the one to whom is to
be entrusted the helm of State-a states
man of wide experience, whose private
character stands unquestioned under the
searchlight of his opponents.
