When it is considered that the own

The mayor should receive the hearty
cooperation of every citizen in Shreve-
port in his earnest effort to reform the
police force in not allowing them tc

clothes that do not look right in the
public eye If the weather continues

keep up outside appearances.
If some of us remember right. thi.
energetic mayor notified us in 'circu-
lar form" before his election that he
would see that the Traction Company
furnished transfers-even though he had
to do so by law" 1t is not a hard mat
ter to suggest ways of spending public
money-but when it comes to saving the
dear public many dollars that is now be-
ing taken from them in way that is not
right-and is not being done by any other
city of any size-this is where the pub
lie official can show what he is worth
to the city OF Shreveport. If he wishes
to bring about reform, don't "beat

When General Lee assumed charge Of
Washington College he had been fifty
years soldier. 1t was as the president
OF Washington and Lee College that he
impressed the sublimity of his character
upon the world. His salary was only
$1,000 per annum. He had been offered
$4,000 year to become the head of an
insurance company. and heads Of corpor-
atlonS tempted him with salaries rang
ing in ten thousands of dollars and up
ward but to all these he politely and
emphatically made known that he could
not be allured from duty. and that ne
would accept no money he could not
| earn. He died receiving his salary Of
$1,000. This was in keeping. with the
noble teachings of Duty as he under
stood 1t. at which men men. today, would
marvel at the declnatiOn of such prince
y annulties, but III the days of Lee the
Dollar had OF been fix d as the only
standard Of recognition. In the days OF
Lee men were not measured by the size
of their purses nor their bank accounts
In Lee there is presented an example
which may be generally followed as a
safe GUIDE to duty. In Lee is embodied
all that which appeals to the noblest of
impulses. in all that which may be ap-
proved byehis God.

sPARRow,s STRANGE HOME.

Each night for two years lonely sparrow has roasted upon an old cleo tric light wire beneath the canopy that covers the sidewalk at the entrance of the Grand Opera House.
 ! q believe the sparrow is a recluse or a hermit. No other sparrow is ever seen there with it," says Manager Judah of the theatre Tt flies back and forth from it's home during the day with a mate. It turns in'5 early these winter days. Usually about 5 o'clock it flies to It's perch and nestles there for the night. I believe 1t enjoys watching the crowds. It's the spar rows entertainment. I noticed it first two years ago, but supposed that it was one which had just happened in there for the night. Then saw it oftener. began watching for it Every night if came. And 1 have learned that the perch upon the wire is its home Neither the crowds nor the glare of the lights frighten it. On the other hand it seems interested in watching those who come and go. It twists it's head about so as to view and probably pass judgement upon all. From the Kansas City Star.

LITTLE BABY CURED 0F ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and Doctors but Could Get No Re- lief Grew Worse Under Doctors Prescription - Friends Recom- mended Culicura = Result
A SPEEDY AND
 PERMANENT CURE

eve express to you herewith our best ehanks for the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema appeared when the child was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something differ ent every time, but nothing brought re- lief. A physician recommended salve which wo threw into the fire after two days use as the eczema became worse so that the baby scratched his face At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. A few days afterwards improve ment could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured, All that we used was one cake of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint- ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the poorest man can pay that instead of throwing it into the doctors lap. l myself only make twelve dollars week as teamster, but | recommend the Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth CTS whose children suffer from such dis eases. They are cheap, harmless and good. c. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 19O6."
