there came more rifle crack from the pit. and
they knew that Almighty Voice true Indian in

a warning cry the rifle of Almighty Voice spoke
from the rifle pit where he and Little Salteaux had
taken refuge and Grundy fell, pierced through the

Voice IN his happier DAYS his self respecting life his

enough to understand the Indian original burning

out again within hail of the rifle pit and as
warning click came through the darkness he called
softly:
"A friend, Almighty Voice friend!"
All was silent. If the refugee in the pit could not

Vii EKE was one only loot 10
i the Little Lyric. The ten
centers sat in the back, the fifteen
centers in the middle of the house,
while the front rows were occupied
by the twenty-cent aristocracy.
When the monologist ran down
at last and the little French dancer
twinkled her agile limbs into the
wings, the audience did not bulge.
This was amateur night, when, at
the close of the regular vaudeville
performance, talented amateurs,
were given opportunity to merge
into professional circles.
The first amateur was pudgy,
freckled girl of fourteen, in a short
blue gingham frock. who sang
something about being kissed on
the way home from school. She
had an uneven, headv voice. and
her stage manner vibrated between
an imitatively stacy fling and
natural girlish gawkiness. The
badness of the performance was
not wasted on that audience, with
its own we'll defined standards of
dramatic art. Neither was it an
indulgent body at best, and
talented amateurs were its
natural prey The worst tyrant,
however, may amuse himself with
occasional magnanimity A tele-
pathic unit, the house accepted
the girl with ironical good nature.
When she coyly retired after the
second stanza, she was clapped

and at the close she was given
such an ovation as must have
deluded the youngster into be1ieV-
ing herself future queen of song

In reaction against its former
leniency. the audience set upon
him with gleeful uproar 1t guyed
his clothes and stamped his voice
into utter eXtlngulshment. The
boy had pluck and struggled on.
His lips worked, arms waved, and
body swayed with all the panto-
mime of the extreme type of
elocution. Heaven knows with
what pains he had prepared him
self, what cry of his being for ex-
preston society was thus brutally
choking back down his own
throat, He left the stage with
shaking chin and set, unseeing eyes.
THE next performer waited his

stage door; for his wife and child
were with him. He was an Italian

Mardsi hustled before the curtain, half
blinded by the footlights, blinking down into the

The audience had dealt with the boy in wanton

JOHN T. MICHEL.

John T. Michel, Secretary Of
State and candidate for re-
election, enters the race assisted
by a record that in a marked de-
gree emphasizes his fitness for
the position and the value of his
services to the State. Assuming
his duties at a time when the
laws were insufficient for the
development of corporate bust
ness or the protection of it's pa
trons,, he has furnished data
for enactments that have placed
the State on a footing with the
most progressive in the Union.
The duties of the Office are such
that added years of experience
become invaluable in it's con-
duct.
There is little doubt that his
services will be recognized by
reelection. He will certainly
poll a strong vote in this section.

RAPID WORK.

The busiest place in the town
of Covington for the past few
weeks has been the little nook
in one corner of the Courthouse
in which is situated Sheriff
Brewster's office. Methodical
to a degree, and exacting in all
matters appertaining to the
business part of his department,
his Office has developed a sys-
tenn of thoroughness that avoids
no detail and countenances no
error.
AS usual, the last few days
in which poll taxes could be paid
brought such a rush of business
that it was impossible to keep
the books posted. The Farmer
held back it's issue last week a
few hours in order to get the
correct number of polls, but we
are pleased to note, in looking
over our exchanges, that we
were among the earliest parishes
which were able to give correct
statements, being within a much
earlier period than is required
by law. We commend Sheriff
Brewster for the efficiency of
his clerical staff and for the
rapidity with which he handled
the accumulated business.

It will be noticed in a local
item in this paper that the prop
erty of the Presbyterian Church
has increased in value from $500
to about $4,000. This little item
speaks volumes for the ability
of Rev. J. M. Williams. Not
only has he shown wonderful
business ability in fathering the
financial interests of the church,
but his efforts as a christian
worker for the spiritual good of
his fellow men and in the ser
vice of the Lord has brought
to his credit more valuable
comment than can be in
duced through the accumulation
of property values.
The recent purchase of the
Bogue Falaya Club building by
the M. C. Bs. for the sum of
$500, tells of the successful
progress of this Club, which is
composed exclusively of women.
The business ability energy and
tact displayed by the members
Of the organization might we'll
cause the sterner sex to ponder
over the fruitfulness of earnest
effort.
Their attainments are illustra-
tive Of what may be accom-
plished by intelligent endeavor
and perseverance, We are urged
to the wish that some of the en-
ergy Of the M. C. Bs. might be
inoculated into the movement
for Smelling the Streets.
