Fire Insurance Rate.

Local insurance companies have
not yet been notified of reduc-
ton in the insurance rate recon-
mended by tire Executive Board
of the Fire Prevention Bureau.
The Picayuue has the following ::
"A 10 per cent reduction IN H.
surance rate has been RECOMMEND
ded by the Executive Board of the
Louisiana Fire Prevention Bureau
for twenty five towns III the State,
aud the agencies following the re-
cummeniation, have already put
the lower prIce INTO effect.
The towns affected are as follows:
Abbevile, Bayou Sara, Houma.
Thibodaux, Napoleonviile, Frank
| lin, Jeauerette, st. Martiuviile, La
fayette. Rayue, Crowley, Jen-
nings, Leeeville, Natchitoches,
Opelousas, Washington, st. Fran
cisvile, Zacharle, Hammond, Vi
dalia, Lake Providence, Monroe,
Ruston, Minden and Piaquemine.
Most of these towns, although
having volunteer fire departments
and some little protection against
the spreading of fire, were rated
as fourth-class risks, towns that
have no fire protection at all, and
the Executive Board thought that
it would be ouly fair to place them
in the third class, and so the change
was made. which carries with it
the lowering of the rate on dwell
ing houses 10 per cent. The rates
are now rs follows

The Banner-DemOcrats of Lake
Providence says "The girls of
Horace Mann School of New York,
have been given real good hard
tbump, which may knock some
sense into their silly heads. The
girls have been wearing too much
finery, such as diamonds, high
heel shoes, flaming hosiery, low
neck waists, short sleeves, false
curls, ETC., and each one tried to
rival the other, until it became so
that the management blacklisted
all bat the plainest OF clothes, and
the dear girls are up in arms about
it."
This seems to be the case in AL
most every school in this country
too.

Canned Sweet Potatoes.

Prof. w. c. Welborn of the lex
as A. and Nj. college, in an article
in the Home Gamer, says I
Last summer | visited gentle
man in South Mississippi who is
raising and canning sweet pota-
toes in large way. He gave me
all his figures, and showed me his
product sold for enough to pay all
expenses and 80 cents Il bushel for
his potatoes. He kept expense
accounts of his crops and in one
case when he made the exception
al Weld of about 500 bushels to
the acre, his potatoes cost him
about 5 cents a bushel delivered
at the factory. No product cans
better than the sweet potato and
it is becoming a staple wherever
the people have opportunity to try
it.

that day if he meets funeral. Others
will bet only at rouge ct noir and per-
sistently on the black. The peasants
have at least hundred superstitions
about bees. They believe (and did not

his contemporaries that bees are bred
Of dead mems bones and flesh. This

THE OUTER
DARKNESS.
By SIDNEY II. COLE.
Copyright, 1907, by C. III. Sutcliffe


Ackroyd moved his chair from the
corner that he might have an unob-
structed view of Drusilla's face She
was seated near the piano lamp, osten-
sibly examining the score of a recent
musical farce he had brought her. Her
chin rested in one little upturned palm,
and her eyes were fixed pensively on
the music in her lap. Ackroyd watch
ed her silently for some moments. He
was loath to disturb that pose
Il saw Ted Briggs today" he said at
length, and he said it with the evident
expectation Of flutter OF excitement
on Drusilla's part. In this. however,
he was disappointed. She turned q
page OF the score without raising her
eyes
Did you:" she said calmly.
II did," he affirmed. Had sort of
an all gone air about him.
Drusilla was silent.
Looked as if he needed some one to
sympathize with him-or kick him."
Ackroyd pursued
Another page of the score was turn
ed, but Drusilla said nothing.
Haven't seen him round here late.
~" said Ackroyd. and his tone sug-
gested much.
It's something over a week since he
called last" said Drusilla innocently.

the suspense will be over
Drusilla rested her chin Oh her palm
again. A bit of added color flushed her
cheeks. Her eyes were pensive.
'I've been very much a coward"
said Ackroyd. Il was afraid you'd
laugh. That is why I've been silent so
long,
He leaned forward in his chair. His
manner was pleadingly earnest. Dru-
silla moved uneasily.
''Why don't you offer yourself, then,
and have it Over?" she asked.
Ackroyd squared his shoulders. Il
do offer myself, Drusilla," said he.
my silence has been such long one
the laugh should be doubly merry" he
added bitterly.
Drusilla turned to the piano. She
ran her fingers over the keys in soft
little minor harmpnies. Ackroyd wait
ed impatiently; then he strobe to the
piano and bent over her. Something
glistened on her lashes, and there was
a shining streak down either cheek.
"Good heavens" cried AckrOyd in
sudden comprehension. He laughed
happily.
''It-it-isn't funny. I-I-d-don't feel
a bit like Laughing" confessed Dru-
silla.
