leap year problem remarked to his ia

the New York Press. Whereas Chris

festival will occur on Friday this

GAMBLING In Metal,

Gambling in metal is done by means
of buying and selling warrants. these
being the notes for specified quanti-
ties Of metal held in stock
The basis of the gambling is that in
many businesses it Is often necessary
to buy ahead large quantities of metal.
When things are slack large stocks ac-
cumulate, while as soon as things be-
come more brisk the metal is taken out
Of the stores.
An immense amount Of gambling Is
done in connection with pig" as pig
iron Is popularity known. Warrants for
pig are made out in units Of 500 tons,
and payment Is made for the warrants
once month. Should a man really
want 500 tons Of pig iron he obtains a
warrant which authorizes him to take
500 tons out of store, and he will be re-
quired to pay for the metal within
the month.
Supposing man buys in the expec-
tation that he will be able to sell the
pig iron at higher price than is ruling.
he buys warrants according to his
means, and he has month for things
to mature. Should the price Of pig go
up during the month he is able to sell
his bargain to another man. and he
pockets the difference, although he
has never laid down any money in real
coin.
Should things go wrong with him
and prices go down. then he is obliged
to pay the difference between the price
at which he bought the pig and the
price at which he is able to sell it. and
so he sustains q loss.-London An

His Discovery.

monday luncheon In little restaurant
the other day. and seated on the right
OF him was big. sympathetic individ.
ual from the rural district. The big
fellow noticed his neighbours left sleeve
and kept eying him in a sort of how
dld-it-happen way. The one armed
man failed to break the ice. but con-
tinued to keep busy with his one hand
supplying the inner man. At last the
inquisitive one on the right could stand
1t no longer. He changed his position
little. cleared his throat and said,
Il see, sir, you have lost an arm"
whereupon the unfortunate man pick
ed up the empty sleeve with his right
hand, peered into it, looked up with g
surprised expression and said, "By

Alicia looked impatiently across the
green. Somehow she was out Of har-

Corrigan turned to her quite sud-
denly. "See here. Alicia, do you like
platonic friends better than anything
else?"
"Yes," she said, but the syllable did
not carry conviction.
"Better than - husbands, for in

Alicia's color deepened. Things were
more interesting after all.

her voice was little tremulous.

stepped closer.
"Of course" she replied, looking up
into his now earnest eyes.

you be platonic friends with every one
else but me. Alicia?"
She did not reply. but one by one
the petals of her rose tumbled down

Couldn't you?" His big voice was
vibrant with emotion.

THE ELECTION.

The election returns, as far as available, show
no increased strength in the Republican Party,
and but slight gains for the Socialists. Consid-
ering the disaffection caused by the election
frauds IN the late primary, there is cause for
congratulation.
The very rainy weather prevented strong vote,
most places casting about so per cent of the vote
of the primary; otherwise, the amendments
would have carried by much larger majority.
They were overwhelmingly adopted in the par
ishes throughout the State except Orleans,
which voted majority Of $4,000 against them,
and four other parishes given below.
It appears that the Times-D Democrat knew
what it was talking about when it announced
they would be slaughtered in New Orleans.
However, the amendments were adopted, and
the effort of the bosses to defeat the measures of
their own party should be gratefully remem-
bered by the people of New Orleans when the
sheepskin is again donned, and the bosses look
longingly into new pastures where the grass is
green and tender.
Prohibition carried by about 200 in Acadia
parish, and by about 1000 in St. Landry. Wes
Feliciana and Concordia went wet.
The vote in this parish is as follows Sanders

RESPONSIBILITY FOR DELAY.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:

Editor St Tammany Farmer:
Once in blue moon or so there is found a
man or woman who is altruistic to the extent of
working purely for the public good, and with
out any private motive.
These are the martyrs, who are crucifed for
the entertainment of the public, and in grateful
appreciation of their unselfsh services to hui
manity.
They do not belong to this age and are not up
to date They are relics of the past, to which
they are, therefore, speedily relegated.
We of to-day are not moved to action save
by the hope of reward; hence, the best argu-
ment for any cause is to reasonably justify this
hope and to point out the reward.
In what way will stock law benefit Coving-
ton and, incidentally, everyone in Covington?
Leaving aside all considerations of health, and
thinking only of monetary profit, we must ac-
knowledge that strangers who visit our town
do certainly look with disfavor upon the running
at large Of horses, free and frisky on the public
streets and sidewalks.
Most of us know of tinid people, who do not
come to Covington, because the livery stable
horses are permitted to run wildly through the
center of town, especially at night, and many of
us are afraid of danger from this source to our
children. Some Of us may know of property
sales not made because of this objection to
Covington and all of us must realize that horses
running wild in the streets do not furnish in
ducements for the visit of people who are in
search of quiet and rest, in safety
A health resort, to be successful, must offer
something more than water and air to it's visit
ors; it must offer, also, peace, quiet and reason
able safety.
Covington, without stock law, cannot offer
peace, quiet or safety to it's visitors; and that
this reputation is beginning to act unfavorably
on property values and the business of the town,
which depends mainly on the presence of stran-
gers, no one can truthfully deny.
That we will have, because we must have, a
stock law, is a certainty. The question then is
shall we have it soon, and escape quickly the
numerous Ills directly and indirectly occasioned
by it's absence, or shall we wait until we are
punished by the loss of human life, and the
serious depreciation Of property?
Whose is the responsibility for delay?
