1t wasn't very long before Uncle Scion crept
YEARLY into the room. Not one of us but could

He wore that jaded Office look that notice

with the Office all day and then come home hang

"Shes got another cure!"
Uncle Scion sank heavily into the Morris chair,
and put his face in his hands.
Hush, Gladys" Aunt Matilda commanded
sternly. And she told it all over again, and just
dramatically.
Uncle Solor didn't move. At last he lifted his
tired face to my aunt and said:

Scion got over his despair at the thought of be-

thing disagreeabde had happened. and then l re-
membered what 1t was. 1t was that We were to
have practically no breakfast. Instead of the pot
of steaming coffee, there the table set with
more raw eggs, cheese, and a great big pile of ap-
pies, which looked insultingy round and red. They
were fanked by a cold unfriendly pitcher of milk.

PROBABLY GOV. JOHNSON.

It now seems probable that
Governor johnson, of Minnesota,
will receive the Democratic nomi-
nation for President; for though
about half of the States have yet
to hold their conventions, it is as
sured that Mr.. Bryan cannot
secure the necessary thirds,
while nearly every doubtful state
is lined up for johnson. Even
some of the delegations instructed
for Mr.. Bryan have large num-
Der of delegates who do not desire
his nomination, and will break to
johnson on the first opportunity,
as the impression is become con-
viction, that Governor johnson
would prove a much stronger
candidate in the doubtful states
and even in the heretofore Byran
stronghold of the Northwest.
The utter breakdown of the Bryan
strength when pitted against Gov
ernor johnson in Minnesota in
dicates that the Democratic desire
to win is leading the voters to
support the new chieftain that has
arisen in the west.

OUR NEW SHERIFF.

Sheriff w. T. Peterman on Mon
day morning last qualified before
Judge A. c. Allen, and assumed
control of the position to which
he was elected, and the law.abid-
ing classes are already feeling the
good effects of his well-known adj
herence to duty and efficiency in
all things. In the short space OF
time that he has filled the Office,
good results are succeeding each
other with gratifying rapidity.
Sheriff Peterman knows that all
laws must be enforced-whether
or not these laws be to the liking
of one or another. He has given
it out clearly that the Sunday law
must be observed, not only in the
town of Franklin, but throughout
the entire parish, and that all vio-
lators will be dealt with in &C
cordance with law. All other sim
liar laws, selling liquor to minors,
crap shooting and carrying con-
cealed weapons, and a number of
others, the enforcement of which
has generally been lax, will here
a fter be strictly enforced by the
new and vigilant sheriff. All good
ci tizens must rejoice at this-not
only as a matter of common res
pect for law, but for the reason
m ainly that this course will doubt
less save a considerable annual
sum to the parish in the way of
criminal court expenses, many
cases going on the docket arising
from one species of lawlessness or
another.

There are those in every com
munity who, because they do moi
favor certain laws, imagine they
have a right to violate them. Il
there are any of this class in St.
Mary, they must disabuse their
minds of this misconception, az
Sheriff Peterman is determined to
see that all laws shall be enforced
hereafter, and in this determina-
ton he shows proper apprecia-
ton of the duties devolving upon
him, and is to be warmly con-
graduated. And we feel that
there will be no abatement in his
determination.
Mr.. Peterman made his debut
in public life as town council
man; then as State Senator. AS
q business man, he has been a
signal success, and he will prove
an ideal sheriff. Our old friend,
Mr.. Louis S. Bigler, is his Office
deputy, a position he has ably
filled for the past four years, and
who has made the best Office dep.
uty since the death of MI. j. w.
Lyman. His outside lieutenant is
Mr.. Charles Pecot, who resigned
the town marshalship to accept
Ibis new position. Franklin new
r had better guardian of the |
peace, and his fidelity and eff
iciency in the first instance will
'eward him in his new position.
With Sheriff Peterman and his
'ble and fearless assistants at the
lelm, the BANNER feels that the
'eace and tranquility of the par
sh y fully assured, and that the
swlees element and miscreants
I every hue will soon find it the
art of wisdom to mend the error
t their ways. 4
