The absinthe habit never gained

sumed In New Orleans than in any
other American city, the extensive
French population thsre having given
1t certain vogue.
Down in the old French quarter,
on the other side OF Canal street,
which as IL by a magic line cuts the
city into two towns-one old, the other
new; one modern. the other n century
behind the Iimes-are a number OF
typical absinthe houses very much after
the manner OF those OF France.
One OF these has been in the same
family for four generations. ever since
1895. and as there are sons bearing
the old name still 1t is likely to round
out the century mark in the one family.

Gibbs the Bafrister.

The latest disciple of Black
stone to be admitted to the bar

having recently passed the law
examination at Ottawa. Mr..
Gibbs ambition, since we have
known him has been to become
lawyer-to this end he applied
himself, the final result being
that we have one more attorney
to plead our cases. That he will
reach the summit, is clearly evi.
dent for if his arduousness does
not diminish, i. e., the kind that
he has displayed during the time
he was preparing for the exam
the city of Springfield can expect
much from him. That he will
not disappoint you, we are will
ing to vouch for. Mr.. Gibbs is
an excellent talker. with clear
delivery, and good enunciation,
this coupled with an extraordin-
airy glossary, make him speak

sion that dignity that it has mer-
tied ali, down the ages. While
he is eloquent, his oratory Isl not

We desire to say that he is

are in hopes that our people will

able him to give employment to
