tration and Made An EnviabIe
Record For Himself.

Austin, Texas, Oct S.-Attorney

Claude Pollard, office assistant attor-
ney general, had rendered his resigna-
ton, effective December 1, and would
go to Kingsville on that date to be-
come general attorney for the St.
Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railroad
company, succeeding Duval West of
San Antonio, who resigns. Mr.. Pol
lstration, and the attorney general
said he never regretted anything more
than the loss of Mr.. Pollard, though
he recognized it was for the best, Mr..
Pollard lettering himself quite
good deal. Mr. Davidson referred to
Mr.. Pollard in the highest terms as
personal friend, man and a splendid
and successful official and lawyer.
Mr.. Pollard has been in charge of rail-
road litigation, and more particularly
that instigated by the Railroad Com
mission and directed against it. In
that position he has made an enviable
record, and to the extent that his
work attracted the attention of the
owners of the Brownsville line, who
have secured his services at a nice
salary. He has figured prominently
in other state litigation also He came
to the attorney generals department
from Carthage, Pamela county, and
had been county and district attorney.
He now forsakes politics. After De-
cember 1 he will reside at Kingsville,
on the Brownsville line, north of

affairs of the railroad company. Mr..
Davidson has selected a successor to
Judge Pollard, but will not announce
the appointment until he decides
whether he will shift one of the office
assistants and give them Mr.. Pollard's
work; if so, the new man will get !
different desk from that occupied by |
Judge Pollard.
Judge Pollard has been to the fore
in the contest with the railroads pend
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, having drawn the origi- |
nal complaint and presented it at |

THE JUDGMENT is AT HAND

"That's the voice of God, Horace"
said Mrs. Scott, finally, in a sepulchral
tone. How wonderfully we have been
honored and blessed in thus being
commissioned TO herald the tidings."
The whole family stood awe-struck
and silent-except Lizzie, the eldest
girl, who actually giggled.
Without further debate Robert and
Lizzie were dispatched to carry the
wondrous news to the neighbors and
beg them to come with all speed
while Mr.. Scott rushed to the village
| to warn the people and inform the pas
tors.
Inside of an hour the Scott resi-
dence was overlooking with anxious
| men and women, eager to see and
hear. The egg bearing the dread mes
sage was tenderly handled by scores
of trembling people, while wailing and
lamentation, mingled with rejoicing,
| filled the air. The letters appeared to
have been cut or etched upon the egg
shell as clearly as though engraved by
hand, and when exposed against a
strong light the writing seemed illu-
minated, producing marvellous effect
The suggestion that monster
prayer meeting be held at once found
instant and unanimous favor Church
bells changed and messengers were
dispatched into the country, appealing
to everybody to come to the house of
the Lord. Work was dropped and the
farmers and their families poured into
the village, on foot, on horseback and
in lumber wagons.
Meanwhile the townspeople, bearing
the egg, had adjourned from the Scott
home to the Methodist church, that
being the largest, and all denomina-
tfonal lines having vanished. Within
five minutes, however, the building
was filled and the people swarmed to
the other churches.
Everybody acknowledged the egg to
be direct and divine revelation that
the last days of the world were very
near at hand. Nobody doubted that.
The only anxiety of the jealous was to
warn sinners to prepare for the i'm
pending humiliation of the earth and
to flee from the wrath to come"
Such meetings had never been
dreamed of. The ministers spoke with
words that fairly burned into the souls
CT their hearers. Tongues of men and
wemen, heretofore diffident, were
loosened, and they proclaimed the
Gospel and exhorted with an elo-
quence and fervor that moved the
most stony -hearted and obdurate I'M
believers, while hundreds Of voices

A Latter-Day
Miracle
By FRANK J. sTnLMAN.
Copyright, by shortstory Pub. Coz

Such religious awakening had never
before been known in the little village
of Bounding Meadow, and as matter
of fact, it is doubtful if the spiritual
fervor of that brief period will ever
find an earthly parallel
Horace Scott cultivated farm ad-
joining the Methodist parsonage, a
sort of truck farm, in which the re-
gion abounded, supplying distant mar
kets with early vegetables, butter and
eggs, and fruits in their seasons.
Robert" said Mrs. Scott, address,
ing her 13-year-old son, on an after
noon in early November, run out to
the barn and gather the eggs; 1 am
going to market"
Robert modify aroused himself and
clumped out to the barn.
He made the rounds-crawled under
the corn crib, where speckled hen
was industriously trying to "set," and
ransacked the mangers-and had
started for the house, when his eye by
chance fell upon the eggs in the bas-
ket. Something peculiar attracted his
attention, and after a second glance
the boy reached in and drew out an
egg. 1t was of ordinary size and
shape and color, but upon it's glossy
shell was something startling.
Robert halted, closely examined the
markings, looked about him in
scared, puzzled way, and then legged
it for the house at an altogether IN
usual pace, holding the egg in his
hand.
Mrs Scott had her things" on
awaiting the coming of Robert, and
noted his hurried approach, as well as
the peculiar expression on his usually
impressive countenance. The boy en-
tered, uttered not word, but placed
the egg in his mothers hand. She re.
garded him with mingled suspicion
and perplexity, and then glanced at
what she held. Had her gaze fallen
upon cluster of five-carat diamonds
the effect could have been hardly
more sensational.
Robert Scott" she exclaimed, and
started as if stricken with chill, the
color fading from her face. Robert,
run for father; he's hoeing in the cab
bage PATCH and with tones ringing in
his ears such as the boy had never
before heard from his mothers lips
he dashed out of the house.
Mr.. Scott came on thu run, puzzled
beyond expression at the unusual call
and the nervous and agitated condi-
ton of the boy.
Mrs. Scott, with her younger chill
dren, stood in the dining room, and,
as the father approached, handed him
the egg. He glanced at it a moment,
looked up with an Interrogation point |
stamped upon his features and, while |
the noisy clock tick-tocked off a dozen
seconds, the members of the family !
gazed into each others faces in mute |
despair.
Upon the surface of the egg-shell,
out boldly in letters that i
seemed afiame, were the words:

the pastor, and the multitude gazed
upward through the great glazed roof.
Then frantic shout went up. Wo-
men shrieked, men groaned and chill
dren screamed and wept. The whole
heavens were seen to be blazing with
darting stars. Flaming meteors
flashed before the terrified eyes of the
covering crowd, seemingly as thick as
snowfakes in storm, and cries Of
horror and prayers for mercy drowned
every other sound. The end of the
world had surely come, and all rushed
wildly for the exits.
A few, however, remained in their
seats, and among them the village
doctor-always regarded suspiciously
in the community as too much of a
"materialist who calmly pushed his
way through the group Of hysterical
clergymen on the platform, and there,
having secured the attention of his
few auditors, coolly announced that
the phenomenon they were witnessing
was merely the meteor swarm called
return to the earth's path once in
about thirty-three years, on or near
the 18th of November!
That was the end Of the great
Bounding Meadow revival, for which
science was primarily responsible,
though Geoffry Jordan's hand in the
matter was never publicly disclosed,
as the father and mother, after the ex-
element subsidized, concluded to keep
the secret They alone-unless Lizzie
Scott had a guilty knowledge-knewl
that the boy, having acquired smat-
tering Of crude chemical lore, had
coated one of Farmer SCOTS eggs
with thin covering of tallow, and
then, with needle, scratched the mo-
mentous words upon the shell. A few
hours immersion in a strong solution
of lye completed the miracle"

Mr.. Lefebvre is anative Of Louisiana,
born in Iberville Parish, from where
he moved in his early manhood to his
present home of West Baton Rouge
and where he has continuously lived
and followed the occupation of a
farmer.
Although he is not like all other con-
gressmen and congressional aspirants,
an ''Attorney at Law yet he has
proved his ability to serve his parish
and State in public position with due
credit to himself and his constituents
in various capacities,
In 1892 he was called upon by a
unanimous vote to serve his district in
the State Senate where he early
gained influence and prominence.
He served his parish in the constitu-
tional convention of 1898, and no man
labored more earnestly than he to Sc
cure to the white people of the State
the absolute right of State, parish and
ward government.
In 1896 he was nominated and elect
ed to the position of sheriff of his
parish, which position he filled to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents
until 1899 when he was prevailed upon
to accept the position of member of
the Board of Commissioners of the
Atchafalaya Basin Levee District
where he has continuously served since
and of which Board he has been the
honored president for the past five
years.
Mr.. Lefebvre is an ardent advocate
of the Improvement. by the National
Government, of inland waterways of
the State and district, that navigable
streams may be offered as check
and barrier to exorbitant railroad
rates and corporation. In fact the
ambition Of his life seems to be de.
voted to the fostering and advance
ment of the States best interest and
especially to her agricultural and
manufacturing industries, and shoulC
he be selected to serve his district ir
the national congress there is no doubt
of his ability and untiring energy ir
any and all questions pertaining to the
interest of his native State as well as
his unceasing watchfulness and scru.
tiny of any bills that might be detri,
mental to or of doubtful interest tt
her welfare.
