and continuous work, is the solu.
ton of the problem of good roads
This can be secured by using the
parish Jail prisoners on work OF
this character.
Bird Cooper. negro, who was
tried at Homer ON the charge Of
having murdered Mrs. Lettie
Bond and her baby, and acquitted,
was shot TO death on June 4. near
the scene of his alleged crime.
He was shot nine times.
BY an act that passed the house
almost unanimously, the State of
Louisiana has fixed the age of
consent at Is years and it is a
splendid advance in legislation to
p, otect the young women of the
State. Any male over the age OF
II is amenable to the law.
The base ball nine of the Lou
lsiana State University continue
to swing around the circle of the
Northern universities and are
adding fresh scalps to the string
of victories that dangle at their
belt. Louisiana seems to be
climbing in every department of
late.
The Morning World, which
be, an its career with such bril-.
liant PROJECTS, has been ordered
to be sold to satisfy the clai rs of
its creditors. The World began
its career about SIX months ago
backed by stock company of
which Joe Leveque was president
and editor of the paper.
When it comes to questions for
the benefit of the old Confed-
crate veterans, the noble women
of the State are their truest and
best friends. Mrs. ID. S. Vaught,
former president of the division
of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, of Louisiana, and
Miss Doriska Gauthreau and Miss
Kate Childress of New Orleans,
prominent Daughters. appeared
before the State Legislature last
week, in the interest of an in
creased appropriation for the
veterans.

Gambling in Commodities.

Gambling In commodities.
Whether grain and cotton grow
ers get, on the whole, a better
price for their products because
of the enormous speculation in
them has been debated time out
of mind, without any conclusion:
The argument is especially lively
just now when the general subject
of speculation is receiving much
atten ion. !,
There is no doubt as to what
the farmers themselves think up
on the subject, although that. of
course, is not conclusive. But il
is quite obvious that, if growers
do get more because of the gam
bling, then consumers pay more
on account of it.
First and last. lot of money is
made out of this gambling. 9th
ervise it would not continue.
Whether the bull finally gets this
money, or the bear, or simply Il e
broker, does not matter. Who
ever gets it does not earn a penny
of it. He does not produce or
transport or distribute bushel of
grain. or pound of cotton. He
contributes absolutely nothing to
industry itself. He merely sits
outside and bets omit. So the
money that j. made in speculation.
whatever the amount aud whoever
receives 1t, is just as much scoop
ed out of the wealth. that the
country produces. With no return
on the scooper's part. Poker
playing, il sufficiently extensive,
might help the ivory trade; but
that would not justify it.-Satur-

Lester vi. Nelson, OF Naples,
Maine, says in recent letter:
Il have used DIR. Kings New
Discovery many years. for coughs
and colds, and / think it saved

liable remedy for throat and lung
complaints, and would no more

Memoir.

LIN the early morn OF marcn "A
God said to the spirit of our be-
loved Tennie Neal, lit is finished,
come up higher" and sent His
angels to earth to watt her spirit
home. For years she had been a
great sufferer, but bore it all
with Christian fortitude, and
would so often say. He is
with me always" Talented,
bright and always cheerful she
scattered sunshine and flowers i'm
the. pathway of all those with
whom she associated. Ever for
getfgl OF self, was always ready
with a helping hand and a cheer
ing smile to brighten Others lives.
When her sufferings were most
acute she was never heard to muir
muir or complain, but frequently
said: "God moves in a mysterious
way, his wonders to performs"
good will come of all this suffer-
ing. Truly it was pleasure to
have been associated with one
whose life was so hid IN Christ
and an inspiration to those around
her to live ever at the foot of His
cross. Having known and loved
her from childhood, and closely
associated with her through her
short bet useful life, we can but
feel that the world is better for
having such, for her life is lamp
to doubling feet. A fathers and
mothers pride and brothers wise
counselor, to them we extend our
deepest sympathy. There Is a
vacant place in their home that
can never be filed. Grieve mot,
she hss gone before and beckons
others 10 the glory land, where
there will be no pain nor parting.
The nobler the life that is sown.
the fairer the flowers that r;seth.
ONE WHO KNEW HER.

THRILLING DOINGS

Nationals Make Boston Break Rec

By THOMAS S. RIcE.

About the cheapest and sureSt way to
get your name in the papers nowadays
is to form an anti-something society TO
knock what other people want 70 do
and, generally, have a perfect riSht to
do.
Therefore. VIC can't understand why
one Of the busy self-exploiters has not
long ago organized a bunch Of higher
thinkers into an Anti-Cruelty 70 Base

prohibit the washington clubs sordid
owners from compelling their hired ath-
letes to toll I'm the broiling sun against
Cy Young. II there ever was a case
OF foolish waste of energy it IS TO be
seen when that club faces the veteran
from BeantOwn, as was illustrated yes
-erday when he trounced the Nationals
by TO ] in thirteen innings. The ele-
ment Of craftsmanship can not be
claimed as an excuse for the brutal and
demoraliziug exhibitions. for it IS al
ready known in advance who is going
TO win. and this dead-sure-thing propo-
sitlon tends 70 lower the standards Of
the great American pastime.
The Usual Thrills.
As usual. yesterday Washington did
not win, but made the other fellows
break trace to get there This IS
highly edifying TO the crowds on the
road. and as Ions as our brave boys
are going TO continue to furnish such
thrilling and furiously profitable specta-
cles we are going 10 stop kicking about

away for thirty-two days. In fact, we
don't care If they-but there. there.

unfc-UUnates.
1t was great ball game. in which
every man on both teams distinguished
inself. Both sides had men thrown
out at the plate on several occasions,
Milan made a running catch that saved
the day for many long innings. Cantn-
lon, Tom Hughes, and Jim Mcclure
were bounced for kicking over close
decisions that killed runs, Laporte and
Sullivan coIIided and Laporte was hurt
so badly he had to give way TO Neon

tenth that Lord win be QUA CT the game

The thirteenth and last inning was a
fair sample Of the way II breaks for
CantiHon's henchmen. Gardiner led
off with a two-bagger. sullivan sent
a foozle to Gates. who made q bad
error on the chance. Gardiner tried
20 get all the way home from second on
