C. w. HUTCHENS.

1t becomes our painful DUTY % secord
the demise of our friend, Charles W,
Hutchens. which occurred at his home,
No 1906 Seymour street, at % minutes
to ? O'Clock this morning, of pneumonia.
Friends after friends depars-wh0 has
not lost friends
The deceased was born Novembes E,
1886, and came to Shreveport from
Mansfield about thirty-fve years ago,
which since was his residence. lie was
one of the oldest members OF The
Shreveport Typographical Union and
one of the most skillful, most reliable
and most worthy ofqhis fraternity of
we'll informed and usually bright men.
He was modest and free of presump-
ton. He was dutiful in all things and
had for guide the Golden Rule which he
practiced i'll all his dealings in the dis
charge of the responsibilities of life. His
home was his shrine, and there he en-
loved the solacing comforts and joys
which give renewed energy and stirnu-
lates and strengthens the ties which
make life worth the living.
In the discharge of his duties of citi-
zenship he was never neglectful. He
was genial companion and steadtast
friend, and he possessed the traits
which secured for him the confidence,
the respect, the good will and the es-
TEEN of mankind who value character
beyond the reach of price. He was one
of the oldest members OF the Woodmen
of the World, having been one of the
charter members of Caddo Camp, from
which he was transferred to Broadaxe,
and then to Maple Camp.
He was a member of the Knights OF
St. John, a fraternal order, which, as
the Woods of the World, secure in
demnity to the surviving widow or
other relatives.
The illness of Mr.. Hutchens was not
prolonged He was on duty at The Cau-
casian when he became i'll and went
home a few days ago At first the pre-
nonitions were not regarded seriously,
but he gradually grew worse, and al
though he received every care and atten-
ton a devoted, loveful wife and daugh-
ters could give, with the ministratlon OF
skillful physician, proved unavailng.
He was ready for the final summons
with the hopeful resignation character
istic of the Christian in spirit and III
fact. A few minutes preceding his dis
solution he experienced a struggle and
then became calm, and then as "one who
drapes the mantle of his couch about
him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
The death of Mr.. Hutchens comes to
every one connected with The Caucas'
ian as a personal loss 1t is felt with
that poignancy OF grief which is mex
preside. Twenty years of association
with one who was always IN every
sphere of life loyal and true to duty
midst clouds and sunshine, leaves va
lcancv, which can not be filled, but there
lis solacing comfort in the realization
that some day we will meet again tt
part no more forever.
| The deceased is survived by his wife
two daughters, Mrs. ]. G. Robertson
and Miss Gladys Hutchens, and a son
Emile, still in his teens.

Mrs. Norah ooIson Librarian.

The committee in charge of the af- fairs of the Carnegie library met this afternoon and elected Mrs. Norah Col son librarian to succeed Miss Lena Min gea, who rendered her resignation at the last meeting of the committee. Miss Ola Mingea was elected assistant librarian.
 The election of Miss Mingea Is an in- novation on the part of the committee, but the election was deemed advisable from the fact that there are times when the librarian might be prevented from being at the library and this would lead to a deal of confusion as it would be almost impossible to get an outsider to look after the work unless they had pre- viously had some experience in this line.
 It Is believed that the action of the committee in selecting Mrs Golson is a very wise one as she is familiar with the workings of the library and will no doubt give eminent satisfaction
 Those of the committee present at the meeting were Mrs. Lee Moody, Mrs. E.. H. Lopez Mrs Fred Robinson and Mayor Rush. Robert Mingea, Dr. George R. Lewis and James Trotter.
 Mrs Golson will not take charge Of the library until January 15, as the resig- nation of Miss Mingea is not to go into effect until then. In the meantime, how ever Mrs. Golson will De at the library and will have the assistance of Miss Min gea in learning the many details that arise in connection with the work

HUMoR OF THE HOUR

On one Of her recent trips to Amer
lea a certain steamer carried a passen.
ger who retired at nlghtfall having Inn
bibed more strong beverage than suited
his constitution.
Ills mental confusion on rising next
morning was sadly intensified when he
made the unpleasant discovery that all
his personal clothes were missing. The
steward and his stafT were promptly
summoned and were followed In due
course by the genial captain himself.
The mystery seemed to deepen until
the captain asked the sufferer If he had
any remembrance Of how he had dis
posed of his clothes overnight.
A sudden CLEAN Of intelligence light
ed the passengers eye, and the mis-
chief was made apparent to all when
he answered:
why, OF course, remember now.
Before turning in last night put them
all in that little cupboard yonder."
"Great goodness, man." roared the
captain, "that's the portholep'-

u Need Not by Any Means Point to
Short Life.
The heart Is perhaps the organ of the
body least known by members of the
medical profession, and many a man
who has been told he would die In a
given time has outlived the doctor who
pronounced his doom.
Heart disease Is coming to inspire
loss and less terror IN tho average
man. and nine men In ten who are al
lottod ten years to live double that
time TO die OF an entirely foreign COM
plant.
Some years back" says DIR. Warren
BehocnoYer, Jr., in he Medical Rec
ord, heart diseases were cause Of
great worry and frlgat to the laity as
well as TO the profession, but now they
are handled 30 successfully by the ply
stefan that the patlgnts live on under
proper therapeutics until the end of the
term Of their natural life without much
difficulty from the diseased organ. In
the practice Of one physician was a
case which was under the care OF his
grandfather from 1880 to 1860, his
uncle from 1866 to 1882 and himself
from 1854 to 1893, when the patient
died at tho ago OF niAety-three, having
been under the care Of the first physi-
eAan for twenty-six years, the second
