Shut Him Up.

The owner of few houses in one
of London's poverty stricken streets
had difficulty at times in getting his
rents in or tenants out. One Mon
day morning he called at a house
where the tenant was bit behind
and, rs usual, had to swallow the
old, old story of "only just started
work" In the afternoon the prop
erty owner went to sec big cricket
match between two prominent
clubs, and who should he meet on
the ground but his backward tenant.
"What's tho meaning of this 2"
said the irate landlord. "You can't
pay your rent, and yet you can at-
ford to attend cricket matches"

The long suffering parent was
about to tell his four-year-old
daughter story to bride her to go
to bed. She hadn't been on any
too good behavior that day, and he
thought the story might do better
than to make scene.
DWELL, once there was good

Starvation.

After about the fifth or sixth day
of starvation the pain of hunger
ceases to be felt, and the sharp
edge of craving becomes dulled. In
the ultimate stages of starvation
the feelings become SO benumbed
that the senses, as messengers of
intelligence, cease to act. There is
practically no pain, and the mind
iapsos into a state of incoherence
and sleepless delirium.

Killing at BogaIuSa.

Bogalusa, June 30.-One of the most
brutal murders that ever occurred in
the parish of Washington has been
perpetrated in this place, in which
John Chicaora was foully assassinated
at the residence of Sam Barolotto, in
the Italian quarters of the town. Ba-
rolotto claims he killed man while
attempting to dynamite his residence,
but upon investigation it was shown
that they have been the best Of
friends, and that the dynamite was
afterwards placed by Barolotta. DR..
J. S. Brock, coroner, upon investiga-
ton, instructed that S. Barolotta and
N. ]. Catalonotto be held to await the
action of the grand jury. and they
were to-day placed in the Jail at
Franklinton.
While this killing is claimed to be in
defense to protect themselves from a
Black Hand plot, still no one gives
any credit that such had ever occur
red. The officers are still making in
vestigations, and will no doubt impli-
cate others in connection with the
killing. Times Democrat.

aged twenty, residing with his parents
at 1906 St. Philip street, yesterday
afternoon, shortly after 6 O'Clock,

through his left breast causing almost
instant death. The deed was COM
mitted in the real estate office of

the desk at which he was working, and
the revolver used in taking his life was
precipitated atthe feet of Mr.. Joubert.
