THE HOME OF CLEAN
SPORT.


On Monday afternoon an AUTO
mobile of the hired variety, con-
tanning three ladies and a man,
rolled in through the gates OF
Oahu College grounds and cir
cled round the curve of the road
above Alexander field, stopping
where there was a good view of
the field.
A baseball game was in prog
ress. 1t was between teams from
Oahu and St. Louis colleges.
The people in the automobile
were wealthy tourists who were
on their way back to the mainland
after a trip through the Orient.
They had hired a machine and
told the chauffeur to show them
the sights. The driver had the
sense to know that Alexander
field is one of the finest playing
fields that was ever planned, and
he had the additional sense to
know that a game of baseball
would appeal to Americans on
their way back home.
The machine had stopped only
few minutes when the occu-
pants began to take notice. They
saw that many of the players
were Hawaiians, and the man of
the party, who has evidently been
follower of baseball and other
sports, suddenly became excited
over remarkable double play. He
called to an Advertiser reporter
who was there and courteously
asked for information.
When he was told that the
teams represented two local COL
leges and that two other institu-
tons had just finished a ten-in-
ming game with final score of
five to four, and only three errors,
he gasped. And then he was told
something about the personnel of
the teams. How the catcher,
whose clever throw he had adj
mired, was a Chinaman; how the
first baseman who had caught the
ball and effected the double play
was a Hawaiian, and how the
teams were made up of a NUM-
Der of different nationalities, ev-
cry one of them as good an Amer
lean as he himself.

THE BEST BOOKS.

bv DR.. Eliot, the recently retired
President of Harvard, of first
choices of books for a limited
library, sufficient, in the words of
DR.. Eliot himself, so that "the
faithful and considerate reading
of these books, with such reread-
ings and memorizing as indivi-
dual taste may prescribe, will
give any man the essentials of a
liberal education, even if he can
devote to them but fifteen min

THE OLD WATER WHEEL.

1t lies beside the river, where it's
marge
Is black with many an old and
oarless barge,
And yesty filth and LEAKAGE wild
and rank
Stagnate and batten by the
crumbling bank
Once, slow revolving by the in
dustrious mill,
1t murmured-only on the Sab
bath still;
And evening winds its pulse-like
beating bore
Down the soft vale and by the
winding shore.
Sparkling around it's orbed mo-
ton, flew,
With quick fresh fall, the drops
of dashing dew,
Through noontide heat that gen.
tie rain was flung,
And verdant, found, the summer
heritage sprung.
Now, dancing light and sounding
motion cease,
In these dark hours of cold con-
tinual peace;
Through it's black bars the I'M
broken moonlight flows,
And dry winds howl about its
long repose!
And moldering lichens creep, and
MOSES gray,
Cling around it's arms, in gradual
decay,
Amidst the hum of men-which
doth not suit
That shadowy circle. motionless
and mute!
So, by the sleep of many human
heart
The crowd of men may bear their
busy part,
Where withered, or forgotten, or
subdued,
Its noisy passions have left soil
tude:-
All! little can they trace the hid
den truth,
What waves have moved it in the
vale of youth
And little can it's broken chords
aVOW
How once they sounded. All is
silent, now!

Iensas Exhibits at the Natchez Fair.

Tensas parish came in for her
share of prizes awarded at the
big Interstate Fair held at Nat
chez last week.
The arts and crafts we're we'll
represented and some very strik-
ing things were shown from the
hands of talented people. Many
showed decided indications Of
genius and the display was one
of which any people might well
feed proud. The coloring of some
of the canvases and the delicate
work of the painters with water
colOrs was excellent.
So complete in detail and so
true to life was large pastel rep
resenting Ruth" by Mrs. Mac
Donald Watkins that many nov
ices mistook it for colored pho
tograpE. The picture is beau
tiful production and the coloring
perfect.
Miss Elizabeth Crothers took
first prize for best water color
copy. This is particularly graft
flying to our people when it is
known that she competed with
girls fully ten years her senior,
many of whom had studied art at
leading colleges, while Miss Eliz-
abeth, who is but eight year, of
age, has taken comparatively few
lessons. Her instructors were Mrs.
Green and Miss Murdoch, both
of whom feel complimented With
the success of their pupil.
Other prizes awarded to this
parish were:

ing of secOnd-class mail matter
The new regulations prove that
a publisher may send sample
copies to the extent of 10 pei
cent of his paid circulation. This
is a radical change, but more i'm.
portant, and working revolution
in the business methods Of daily
and weekly newspapers. 1t is as
follows:
SO. A reasonable time will be
allowed publishers to secure re-
newals of subscriptions, but unless
subscriptions are expressly re-
newed after the term for which
they are paid, within the follow
ing periods:
Dailies within three months.
Weeklies, within one year,
they shall not be counted in the
Legitimate list of subscribers, and
copies mailed on account thereof

at the transient second-class post
age rate of one cent a pound, but
may be mailed at the transient
second-class postage rate of one
cent for each four ounces or frac-
ton thereof, prepaid by stamps

In compliance with this order

subscribers who are in arrears
make prompt settlement.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.

Delta, La, Oct. 13, 1909.
To the Honorable Board of Com
missioners for the Fifth Louis.
lana Levee District:
Gentlemen-Since the last reg.
ular meeting of the Board, July
18th, the levee authorities, Unit.
ed States, State and District have
been busy urging and pressing
forward the work under contract
and watching the developments il
the caving banks and changes Of
the river.
Any change of water level caus'
es disturbances of the bank, bar:
and bottom of the river, and When
as long a water, and as many rises
and falls occur as there were dur
ing the water of 1909, there are
many changes and it is quite diff
ficult to determine the most neces-
sary work, for with the limited
funds in hand it is impossible to
do all that is needed, and those
that approach more nearly to emer-
gencies have to be cared for first.
The progress of all work under
contract is satisfactory and gives
promise of being finished before
the water of 1910; even that gi-
gantic work, Bougere, with ordi-
narily favorable weather will be
completed, and then a continuous
line of levee will extend from the
Arkansas State line to PIT. Breeze,
about Is miles from the mouth
of Red River.
REvETMENT.
The revetment work at Lake
Providence and Delta are in sat-
isfactory condition, and the plant
in charge of Capt. Clarke 5. Smith
is now at work at Reid-Biggs. 1t
has sunk all the mattresses it will
this season and will complete the
work there by November 1st. This
bend needs larger allotments for
Dext season for the conditions are
rs serious as anywhere in the Dis
trict; the caving is very active,
the batture is not very wide, and
the building of new levee on ac-
count of bad location would be
very serious proposition; the coun-
try back of Reid-Biggs is low,
wet swamp.
In the lower Tensas District the
revetment at Bondurant chute is
reported by Capt. H. Burgess to
be in good condition. There has
been no work done at Kempe this
season but a plant will be moved
there the LIST November in ample
time to do oil the work that is

GIRARDIN WRESTLES
WITH HEAVY PROBLEM

Capt. Burton Girardin. of the Scot

with heavy problem in connection
with the Delray station. The question
affects the disposal OF inebriated indi
yiduals who have filed up on Delray
corn juice and have to be temporarily
restrained on the board hunks of that
station.
Owing to the construction OF the
station. which Is situated on the edge
of a steep bank, the station guests
are received on the second floor 70,
registration. Then they must be
transported down a step stairway "a
the iron rooms beneath. Experience
has proved that the stairs are toe
much for a person with liquid pack
age. Despite the holdback efforts 81
their blue-coated escorts, the guests
insist on trying to fall down.
Now Girardin is cogitating as &c
whether TO ask for an elevator a block
and tackle, or miniature toboggar
to facilitate descent.

DEMENTED MAN
TAKES HIS LIFE

Grief over his wife's death. three

ust Herschlieb, &C years old, to hang
himself TO a rafter In barn on the
premises of his. step-sister, Sophia
Friek. No. 794 Seventeenth-st.. Mon
day afternoon. A clothes line and a
soap box furnished the means.
Herschlieb returned to the Friek
hoIne shortly after noon, Monday, af-
ter being gone, no one knows where
since Sunday morning. He went at
once to the barn. where his lifeless
body was found dangling at the end
OF the clothes-line 10 minutes later
by his nephew, John Friek.
Coroner Burgess, after an investisa-
ton, decided to hold no Inquest.
H. j. Steffen. OF BEDFORD. son-in-
law OF the deceased. declares that d
bank book, purse and an umbrella car
ried by Herschlieb when he left the
Friek house, Sunday, are missing and
suggests that the old man may have
been robbed He is also curious to
know how Herschlieb received several
bruises on the forehead, though Cor
oner's Clerk DeLaurier Is satisfied
that he received them when he stood
up on the soap box and. it is suppos-
ed, accidentally bumped his head
against the rafter. The coroner thinks
the robbery story largely matter of
superstition.
