Britain has generally been gen.
erous in rewarding her soldiers.
Perhaps the Duke of Wellington
came of best In this respect. In his
earlier Peninsular Campaign he was
granted a pension Of $4,000 year
for two generations, and on the con-
cliIsion OF the Peninsular War in
1912, he was voted 100000 for the
purchase of an estate After Water
loo the Government bought him the
estate of Strachfeldsaye at a cost OF
e2S3,000.
Lord Wolseley received q grant
of e25, 900 on completing his Ashanti
campaign; Sir Hugh Cough for the
Sikh war, an annuity of $4,000; Sir
colin Campbell, e2.00O for wiping
out the Indian Mutiny, and Sir Hen
~ Havelock, for the relief of Luck
now, $1,000.
Coming to more recent times,
Lord Roberts received 100000 for
his services in the South African
campaign, and Lord Kitchener re-
ceiyed 100000 after Omdurman.

SUPERINTENDENT ASWELL
He Will Not Resign His Office Unit
the Middle of Summer.

The Times-Democrat special dated
March 3 says: State Superintendent OF
Public Education Aswell returned today
from Oxford, Miss, where he was yes
terday elected chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi. The election of Mr.,
Aswell to the position in Mississippi has
set afloat speculation as to who his
probable successor shall be in the office
of public education. 1t is believed by
many that President B. c. Caldwell of
the State Normal will be appointed to
fill the vacancy, though others are of the
opinion that State Institute Conductor
Keeney will be appointed to complete
Mr.. Aswells term on account of his
great familiarity with the business of the
State superintendent Office
MIR. Aswell does not resign his Office
until the middle of the coming summer
and after the completion of the present
school term throughout the State, in
GLIDING the summer schools to be held
IN various sections of the State during
the coming spring"
The resignation of Prof. Aswell at the
time indicated will give opportunity to
the Governor to name his successor. In
becoming chancellor of the University of
Mississippi, probable candidate for
Governor of Louisiana is eliminated
doubtless to the qualification of several
aspirants who had anticipated that the
influence of the Governor would have
been directed to his friend, Prof. AS
we'll.

COURT OF APPEALS
The Judges Held Conference and De
termine to Hold Court in Monroe

The judges of the Court of Appeals,
Hon, Charles V. Porter of Natchitoches,
Hon. l. E. Hall of Monroe, and Hon.
L. K. Watkins of Minden, met in this
city today to hold session of the Court
Of Appeals, but as the court house is
over crowded, it was not possible to ac-
commodate them, and therefore they de-
cided to go to Monroe.
This condition is to be regretted, but
will be remedied in few months, when
the contemplated addition to the court
house will have been completed, when
there will be assigned specially for the
court sufficient quarters with splendid
library, to enable this court to fix their
headquarters in Shreveport and dis
charge their functions with comfort and
pleasure
This court will meet in Shreveport i'll
May and June next when the addition
and Improvement to the present court
house may be completed,

Indians and War Paint.

The Indians have a tradition that
tells how the custom of painting their
faces originated. A certain big chief
while hunting deer was chased by a
lion and fell exhausted, calling upon
the Big Bear, which Indians believe
was the grandfather of man, to save
him. The Big Bear heard and went to
the mans assistance, scratching his
foot and sprinkling the blood over him.
No animal will eat bear or taste his
blood, and when the lion smelled 1t he
turned away. But in doing SO he
scratched some of the blood off the In
dams face with his claw by accident.
When he found himself unhurt, the
Indian was SO thankful that he let
the blood dry on his face. With the
marks of the lions claws this gave the
effect Of stripes, and ever afterward
when going on hunting expeditions for
man or beast the Indian painted his
face in stripes as charm against
danger.

The Willy Bell Boy.

A hotel man in New Hampshire was
surprised to see one Of his women
guests come downstairs several nights
running, fill her pitcher from the water
cooler in the hall and return quietly to
her room again. At first he thought
the lady had some special reSson for
this queer performance. Then he
thought he had better speak to her
Accordingly on the fourth or fifth
night he approached her politely, took
the pitcher from her hands and filled
1t himself.
eff you would ring. madam" he said
this would always be done for you
There is no occasion for you ever to
come down yourself for water. A
ring
But l have no bell" said the lady.
ooh, madam. Of course you have n
bell III show it to you
And he carried the pitcher up to her
room for her and pointed to the bell
beside her bed.
THAT is the bell" he said.
The lady started in surprise.
THAT the bellT' she exclaimed
why, the bell boy told me that was
the fire alarm and l wasn't to touch 1t
on any account except in case Of fire"

The First Fly Fishers.

Doubtless the reason why artificial
flies were originally invented was be-
cause 1t was impossible to use the
smaller and more delicate natural flies
as bats on the hook. The first fly
fisher cast his eyes about him in search
of something that would answer in
initiating the flies upon which the trout
were feeding. Feathers We're natural
ly the first materials thought of, and
the old red cocks hackle was the first
Of all the artificial insects, the old, old
Adam of them all. The breed has
been increasing for several hundred
years and numbers 1900 or more at
the present day. OF salmon flies alon"
there are several hundred patterns.
These belong to the lure order mostly,
as do many of the large flies used for
bass and trout. The little old red hac
kle remains good fly to this day and
Is put upon bodies Of many colors, pea
cock harl being perhaps as we'll liked
as anything; red wool Is favored by
many.-Forest and Stream.

JUDGE McC. LAWRASON FOR
GOVERNOR.

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says: Another interesting bit of political
gossip is the renewed in locations that
Judge s. Nice Lawrason of St. Fran
cisville. West Feliciana parish, will be a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. The
True Democrat, published at Judge 5.
McC. Lawrason's home town, in dis
cussing his probable candidacy, says:
"The frequent mention of late of the
name of Judge S. McC Lawrason of
West Feliciana as good timber of which
to make the next Lieutenant Governor
of Louisiana can not but be very graft
flying to the judges many friends in the
Felicianas, irrespective of whether or not
the judge will consent to have his name
used in that connection. His friends
know that he is peculiarly fitted for the
position by education, training and nat
ural turn of mind Calm, conservative
and judicial, he is eminently suited to
preside over the upper house of the State
Assembly, and if he should in the course
of events be selected for that post of
honor, certainly no man in the State
could be better choice 1t is yet too
early to say that Judge Lawrason will
be a candidate. The fire lighted too soon
burns out before it is needed; but if he
consents to have his name used, it will
prove rallying cry to which hundreds
of his friends throughout the State will
respond as one man.

The Left Hand,

1t is strange that so strong preju-
dice against the left hand has lived and
increased for centuries when there Is
no natural or physiological reason for
1t. Examination of the skeleton Of a
person who was strong, healthy and
well formed in life shows that the
bones of the left hand and arm are just
as large and capable as those Of the
right. The study of physiology shows.
too, that the muscles and ligaments
and carriages that fastened that per
sons arms to his body and gave them
the power of motion were made to do
their work just as well on one side of
the body as OH the other If the left
side was the weaker, 1t was because Of
the failure to exercise 1t as freely as
the Other.-Scrap Book.
