nothing but degeneracy in sly habits
they have never marked a man of
full stature and never will. Indulg-
ing in little vices on the sly is living
in the realm of the sneak.
What handsome catalogues the
seedsmen do turn out and what meth
DDS they employ to capture the few
dollars we invest in seeds. They are
not farmers-they are to be ranked
among the smartest of business men.
and the most brazen confessors, for
many Of them tell their patrons that
they viii not be responsible for the
quality or productiveness Of their
seeds-they decline to give 8 guaran-
ty. All this seems to me to be as
superfiuous as many other pretenses
which l see in their pages. They
will bear sharp looking after. and
they viii surely get you If you do not
watch out. They are not doing bust
ness for their health any more than
the politicians; and they are not half
as generous as they seem; but we can
not get along without them.
One trouble with men is that so
many Of them can talk about things
and so few of them can do things.
The man who can tell you all about
now things are done never had an
original idea in his life. He differs
from the inventor in this: That he
sees the form after it has been ma
terialized never before. The archi-
tect and the designer see things and
then materialize them. 1 once saw a
great building with furnishings and
furniture all made to match that cost
a million and half which was the
work of man Of SO years. All the
details OF that edihce and its fur
nishings were in his mind before he
put 1t on paper. 1t is wonderful how
minister can pull a sermon out his
mind and an architect a block of
buildings out Of his. Perhaps you
have not thought that doors are al
ways seers-the man at the forge sees
the shape that he is hammering metal
into. Get to be seer and a doer
and then you are in good trim to be-
come a talker.

TO SAVE THE BOYS

ING SUNDAY SCHOOL,
Movement That 10 Now Worldwide
Had Humble Beginning in an Eng
fish City One Hundred Years
AGO.

One Sunday morning, . hundred
years ago, a workingman. carefully
dressed in his best suit, came out OF
his house on the main street OF the old
English town OF Gloucester n
strolled leisurely down the hill. The
New Inn was fronted then. as It Is
to-day. by a square garden overhung
by the carved galleries Of the tavern.
There was q moss-clad well In the
center. and about 1t were beds OF
sweet-smelling pinks and cofumbines.
But the calm of that Sunday morn
ing was destroyed by . crowd Of street
boys who fought over the flower beds,
making tho day hideous with their
noise and coarse talk.
The printer-for printing was hls
work on weekdays-stopped In the
midst Of the crowd and looked steadily
ct the boys. Presently he said to him

TREES DISCUSSED.
CONTINUED from page one).

known, with the possible exception OF
Japan, which can lay claim to having
more different varieties OF trees than
Louisiana. Some of the trees found
in profusion in this State, said the
lecturer, posses a certain power or
adoption to circumstances which IS
truly wonderful. There. is a certain
variety of cedar found in great profus-
ion in the State that comes from the
slope of the Himalayas. This cedar
is found in LOuis.ana growing In
high ground, in low ground, and in
Cameron parish there are large
clumps that are growing and thriv-
ing well In two feet of salt water. A
variety of cypress hat grows well on
dry ground is also found in Louisiana
swamps, but in the swamp growth the
base of the tree is greatly enlarged
and large knees grow out a short dis
lance up the trunk of the tree.
According to Prof. Cocks there are
twenty-five varieties of oaks found in
Louisiana, and two more about which
there is still some uncertainty. About
the live oak the professor stated that
contrary to general belief, it was one
of the fastest growers of the oak fam
lily and that Spanish moss, which is
found in large quantities on the live
oak, does not in any manner inJure
the life of the tree. The moss hang
ing on dead trees has not caused the
death of the tree, but moss can and
does grow on dead trees, even a year
after life is extinct, thus giving rise
to the belief that moss is injurious to
the trees.
Prof. Cocks showed the leaves OF
the different varieties of trees found
in the state and explained how each
can be distinguished from the other,
He explained what varieties were best
for planting, which were the longest
lived, and which had the most beau
tiful appearance.
Among the trees illustrated and de
scribed by Prof. Cocks, which thrive
in this state are maple magnolia
sweet bay, hockberry, sweetgum, dog
wood red bud, three varieties of hol
~, honey locust, poplar, paper null
berry, beach, sycamore, linden or lime
ironwood, true hornbeam, catalpa
| chestnut, elm, the ash and many Other
varieties.

Poisoned by Honeysuekie.

One of the most favorfte and beauti-
full Of our flowers 10 the common
honeysuckle, but 1t would seem to
have its dangers. The London Lancet
mentions a case occurring in the prac-
tice. Of DR.. Engh Of Volden, in which a
little boy two years old was poisoned
by its flowers.
The child. after being in the garden
playing with tire flowers, became tired
and drowsy and then complained OF
thirst. Our contemporary describes
the symptoms that followed and adds
that the. boy made a good recovery
but was peevish and inert for ONE
days. Various kinds of h~oneysuckle
have been used incidentally as diuret-
les and dfaphoretics, and it is wen
that it should be known that some OF
the varieties at all vents are far
from harmless. The flowers appear to
be specially dangerous when freshly
sicke6.

that the latter would have placed
them there in the beginning had the
House been as docile and as thor-
oughly disciplined as is the Senate.
Mr.. Payne was facing a rather
delicate situation when he framed his
bill. The Progressives were decided
ly aggressive and there were a num-
Der to be sounded and classified.
Considering these things, his bill
deserved the thanks Of the reaction
aries by paving the way for the
Aldrich schedule higher up. 1t is
worse than useless to expect that
these veteran stand patters will now
voluntarily order such . reduction
of schedules as would be required
to make their tariff bill satisfactory
to the country.
In strict fact, the sole remaining
hope of genuine revision centers in
the President. If he sees fit to enter
the fight. the victory now apparently
assured to them may be snatched
from the stand patters. There are
plenty of disaffected Representatives
would follow the President in q
revolt against the reactionaries. 1t
is very likely. that another half-dozen
! votes in the Senate could be swung
to the opposition If Mr.. Taft insisted
that the tariff pledge of his party
be kept. So long as he holds his
peace Messrs. Aldrich and Payne
and Cannon will hold the schedules
up. The hope of reform in the con-
ference is slim indeed If the Presi-
dent, after his adventure with the
corporation tax, returns to his orr
ginal policy Of noninterference.

The general tenor of reports from
the cane belt is to the effect that the
crop is progressing ~favorably, the
only drawback being that rains are
still too frequent in some sections to
permit of its being laid by properly.
In q number of localities, however.

taken advantage of to the fullest

The Tariff Bill In Conference.
Times Democrat:

Times Democrat:
The house promptly disagreed yes
{ rsaav to all of the Aldrich amend
n.-nts to the Payne tariff bill. Chair
man Payne of the Ways and Means
Committee requested that the House
~O0nferees be left u~ninstructed, declar-
ed his intention to make the Senate,
leader explain and justify every
change of the schedules, and pledged
the most heroic efforts to secure the
passage OF q tariff bill that would
be satisfactory both to the majority
and to the country. Mr.. Payne pro-
missed much the same thing earlier in
the session. and then reported a bill
so unsatisfactory that Senator Aldrich
himself expressed his shocked surprise,
and promised in his turn to work the
Payne bill over into q measure that
the country would approve. What
followed is known of all men, who
may. not, therefore. put much faith in
Mr.. Payne's solemn promise to res
cue the consumer from the oppres-
sive burdens Of the Aldrich-Payne
bill.
Few consumers believe that the
Hall will be materially reformed in
conference If its reformation depends
altogether upon the Aldrich and the
Payne conferees. Both leaders have
shown themselves stand patters Of

COUGH REMEDY

Best Remedy in the Market Fo,
Colds, Group and Whooping
Cough---It Always Cures
And Is Pleasant and
Safe to Take.

81 never had medicine in my store that
gave such universal satisfaction as Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Mr.. 2. M.
Shore, of Rochester, Ind at is the best
remedy to-day on the market for coughs,
colds and whooping cough. One ofmy lady
customers told me recently that she could
not keep house without it, that since they
have been using it they have had no need
of doctor" In case of a severe attack of
Group a physician will usually call twice,
and perhaps half dozen times in severe
and long protracted case of whooping cough,
while in pneumonia it is often necessary that
he calls once or twice a day for week or two.
All of this trouble and expense may be
saved by the judicious use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, for it is a certain cure for
Group, and when given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears it will prevent the attack.
Pneumonia can also be prevented. This
fact has been fully proven, as during the al
most forty years in which this remedy has
been in general use, no case of a cold or at
tack of the grip has ever resulted in pneu-
monia when this remedy was used, go far as we
have been able to learn. It will be seen that
a little forethought and by doing the right
thing at the right time, all danger and ex-
pense may be avoided Beat in mind that
every bottle of this remedy is warranted and
if not as stated it will not cost you cent.

WOULDN'T GO BACK.
To Old Days of Coffee Troubles.

Studious, sedentary habits are apt 20

headaches, ETC., but often it's the daily
use of coffee that is at the bottom of
the whole trouble, and it is surprising
how quickly these troubles disappear
when coffee is dropped and well-ma1e
Postum is the daily beverage.
A North Dakota minister writes of
the relief obtained when he changed
from coffee to Postum. He says:
Il began using Postum about a year
ago while stopping at the home Of
friends during the absence of my wife.
1T seemed almost providential, for
during that time 1 got rid of coffee
and its attendant ills. 1 used to have
bilious attacks about every two weeks
that completely used me up for day
or two at time.
Il did not suspect coffee and wsLs
unable to account for these attacks
Since l began Postum l have had but
one slight attack and the change %
restored health is most acceptable.
MY wife declared on her return that
nothing would induce her to give up
coffee, but after few careful prepara,-
lions of Postum, according to direc-
lions on package, she thought it YVES
superior to coffee in flavor, and now
we would not change back to coffee.
