Frederick the Great of Prussia often
told a laughable story of an expert
ence of his own. During one of his
campaigns in Silesia he made 1t his
habit to stroll through his camp in
disguise at night to come in touch
with his soldiers. One night he was
stopped by a sentry, but giving the
proper password, was permitted to
proceed. Instead of doing SO, how
ever, he e~ndeavored to tempt the SEN
try into accepting a cigar, saying that
a smoke would solace his long watch.

One Definition Of Critic,

"The late Edmund Clarence Sted-
man, the banker-poet," said a maya
zine editor, was really a better critic
than poet. He had a high opinion Of
the critics functions. Attacks on the
value Of criticism always angered
him. He used to tell about a typical
attack of this kind. He heard it at a
supper after the theater. 1t came
from an unsuccessful actor. Mr..
Stedman was replying to the toast,
Our American Critics. He began
with the query, uttered in a ringing
voice:
What is a critic"
"The unsuccessful actor, in the en-
suing pause, answered from the bot.
tor of the table,:

ATCHAFALAYA BOARD SHOULD
PROTECT BASIN.

Senator Labbe'S efforts to
have the lands on the west side
of the Atchafalaya river protect
ed deserve to meet with full sue
cess This is a very rich section
and protection from overflow will
open the lands to development.
Considering the fact that st.
Martin and Iberia parishes have
been taxed for levees, it is but
just and right that the prOtec.
ton should be given.
The following letter on this
subject from Geo. T. Hedges, of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. who is in
terested in companies that have
extensive holdings in the Basin.
will prove interesting:
Lafayette Advertiser,
Lafayette, La.
Gentlemen:
notice in your issue of May %, a
statement that Senator Liable has in
PRODUCED a resolution in the Senate
demanding of the Atchafalaya Basin
Levee Board an account and statement
showing how much levee taxes were
received by the Board since its ex-
istence under act of 1890 from the
parishes of ST. Martin, iberia and st.
Mary and also a full statement of
whatever protection if any was ever
given the said parishes.
l am very glad to know that this
matter is receiving some attention and
it should receive a great deal more at
tention than has been given it hereto
fore. There are thousands of acres
on the west side of of the Atchalafaya
River in the Basin that arc the rich
est lands in the world that are just
waiting protection by levee. If this
was done, all that territory would
soon be developed and would be
among the richest farms in the United
States. We are interested in two
companies that own several thousand
acres in the Basin and if levees were
constructed, we would soon have
these lands colonized by practical
northern farmers who would develop
the country rapidly ard make it one
of the richest in the world. We have
wondered from time to time why
levees have not been constructed on
the west side of the river to protect
these lands. The lands are paying
levee taxes at the present time, but
getting no benefits and it seems to me
that it is time for the people of these
parishes to demand what they are en-
titled to. I am glad to see the agita-
ton begun and hope it will continue
and hope that Senator Liable will be
backed up by public sentiment and
assisted in every way to bring about
the rights of those who are interested
in the three parishes named.
Yours very truly,
GEO. T. HEDGES.

Jefferson Davis.

N. o. States, June3.
To-day people throughout the
South celebrate the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth
of Jefferson Davis. Volumes
have been written based upon
his character and work and the
mighty influence these exerted
upon the destiny of our nation,
and in the South his name is held
in reverence by high and low,
rich and poor.
For many years it was hard
for the North to think calmly of
this great man, and upon his
shoulders were saddled the al
legged sins of the people who es-
tablished and supported the
Confederate States. AS passions
has given way 20 reason and
prejudice to calmer judgment.
more enlightened thinkers in
the North are coming to regard
Mr.. Davis in a more favorable
light than formerly. Time has
given opportunity for a revision
of hasty judgments formed in
prejudice and clouded by pas
sion, and people are looking at
the character of Jefferson Davis
as outlined in the clearer light of
reason and from the viewpoint of
historical truth.
When viewed in that perspec-
tive there can be no doubt in the
mind of any unbiased man that
the Southern Chieftain ranks as
one of the greatest and purest
characters that has ever adorned

MIGHT HAVE LET HIM FINISH,
AZ Il Turned Out, Lawyers Were I'm.
necessarily Excited.

In a suit in a Maine court not long
ago there was adduced q line Of tes-
timony that created some excitement.
A witness had testified that he saw
the defendant splitting up" rails a
few hours before the accident for
which defendant was supposed to be
responsible.
What did he say he was going to
do with the rails?" asked the counsel,
fixing the wandering eye of the wit
ness with his stern gaze.
Before the witness could answer
the defendants counsel was on his
feet, insisting that the question was
not allowable. A prolonged wrangle
ensued. Various high authorities for
and against the admission Of the Ques-
ton were consulted and quoted.
During all this time the witness
shifted from n leg to the other, and
gave vent to several , prodigious
yawns. AS the controversy waged
hotter and hotter something like a
smile was see to pass across his
face.
At last the Judge ruled that the
question must be allowed and while
the defendants counsel, exhausted
with rage, leaned back in his chair
excitedly, the query was put once
more
What did the defendant say he was
going to do with the rails?"
"Nawthin,," drawled the witness. II
