Base Ball.

Last Sunday the Laplace boys added
new laurels to the credit of their Club
when they shut out the fast St. Rose
boys who put up very poor exhibition
of ball playing. Owing to the wet con-
ditions of the grounds, the game was
slow and not as interesting as expected
and lacked sensational plays of any
kind. The reliable Laplace bate ry
composed of Oliver Kugler and Henry
Landry did their work in perfect style,
feeling all throughout the game that it
was easy work.
Tomorrow, at Haydel's Park, the
locals viii try their mettle with the
Oubre Team from st. James, the fastest
team on the 7. & P. having beaten
every team on that road, SO good game
is promised the local fans. The Oubre
boys will run an excursion on the NJ. &
r. from Lutcher to Laplace and viii
bring large number Of rooters.
At Garyville Park, tomorrow after
noon, at $50, the locals viii defend
their title with the Tokay Teas of New
Orleans in hot and exciting battle. 1t
will be remembered that two games
have been played by these two teams,
Garyvile took the first one in easy style

FUN is A VITAL NECESSITY
Can by No Means Be Regarded as an
incidental of Life.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are lilginciden-
tails, not necessities; that they are
luxuries and have no great bearing
upon ones career.
Many think of fun as frivolous, in
dicating lack of serious purpose in
life. There are parents who rebuke
their children because they want to
have fun and go in for good time.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy, and their
influence on the life.
What complete revolution in your
whole physical and mental being
comes after seeing a really funny
pay! You went to the play tired,
jaded, wornout, discouraged. All your
mental faculties were cIogged with
brain ash; you could not think clearly.
When you came home you were a new
being.-Success Magazine.

 "I just went into the lot to look for my son." stammered the deacon. "I feared Peter had strayed."
 "Why. deaeon" said Mrs. Willough- by. "I just stopped by your house and saw Mrs. Elverson putting Peter to bed"
 The deacon was saved from further embarrassment by an exclamation from Julia. who had stayed at the window. "Oh. look: something has happened!" she cried. There's . crowd They are coming thls way"
 Douglas crossed quickly to Julia's side and saw an excited mob collect ing before the entrance to the main tent He had time to discover no more before Mandy burst in at the door. panting with excitement and roll ing her large. white trimmed eyebalIs.

 There were mortified exclamatIons from the women. who were aghast at the idea of circus rider in the par. sonage. In their helpless indignation they turned upon the little deacon, feel ing intuiiively that he was enjoying the drama. Elverson was retreating toward the door when he was sudden ly thrust aside by Douglas.
 In the young pastors arms was a white. spangied burden of humanity, her slender arm hung Iifeless over his shoulder. The silk stocking was torn from one bruised ankle; her hair fell across her face, yelling 1t from the un- friendly glances of the women.

 The women gaxed at each other with lips closed tightly. Elverson's be- havior was beyond their power of ex pression. Miss Perkins turned to the pastor as though he were somehow to blame for the deacon's hacksliding. but before she could find words to ar gue the point the timid little deacon appeared in the doorway. utterly un- conscious of the hostile reception that Nasty had prepared for him. He glanced nervously from one set face to the other. then coughed behind his hat.

were the Marshall blacksmith shop.
the Figueroa and Santa Cruz shop, the

and the Arizona Auction and Develop

case of Marshall that the teams were
brought to his place after the closing
hours and that he was therefore not
responsible. His case was dismissed.
While the others were held to be re-

tinued violation of the ordinance will
