# the example set by DR.. C. f.
Boagni and Mr. Mason Mcbride in
planting trees along the sidewalk
fronting their properties on Landry

instead of cutting stately trees as
many are won't to dc, there would be
no danger of 0pelousas ever losing

These gentlemen have planted d

a half block By Mr. Mcbride. The
trees are Of the Oriental Sycamore

DUSN BLIND TIGGEERIi
TRAINERS CAUGHT in
BEASTS LAIR.

Lou Lewis, Grant Sanders and
Mary jenkins, three dusky vioIators
of the prohibition laws, are serving
time in the city jail, sent there By
City Judge Kerr for selling Whiskey
in violation Of the law Of The land.
They were fined respectively: Lou
Lewis, the joint keeper, 500 and
costs or in default Of payment 80
days il Jail; his concubine, Mary Jen-
kins, $40 and costs or twenty days
iii Jail; Grant Sanders, 500 and
costs or thirty days ID jail.
His Honor, in passing sentence, ex-
pressed regret that the city ordinance
covering selling whiskey without a
license, under which they we're con
victed, did not permit heavier fine
in case of the men. District Attor-
ney Garland, however, took up the
case where the City Judge left off,
and will file bills Of information
against all parties. Under that af-
fdavit they can each be fined 800
and six months in jail.
It is likely that Judge Kerr will
try the offenders under The charge Of
the District Attorney. Such cases.
are triable either by the District
Judge or the City Judge, as the Dis
trict Attorney NAV elect.
City Officers Horn and GOodloe
made the arrests. The joint is lo-
Gated near the railroad depot, in the
portion Of the city known as The.
Branch The officers had their good
eye on this place for some time, but
bided their time until they could get
cineh0 evidence. This came Satur-
day night, when the whole bunch, in
GLIDING the tiger keepers, got gIori-
ously drunk, and the officers raided
the place and secured aIl the eyi-
dence they desired. The whiskey
was kept in jugs, and sold at so
cents q half pint.

as you grow UP and become voters and citizens
Ftrst Of all. We must give lives to building
up the South. II would be cowardly for us to
run away from her need OF us. II We wished to
do so. but there are now really greater oppor-
tuntues for young men In the South than almost
anywhere In the world. The South during these
next thirty years Will grow faster than either
North or West
Then the cVcr-vcatng race problem must be
ifcly dealt with and must train the negro
so he will help build up the South instead OF be-

weaken that respect for law on which all public
peace and security must rest.
Lynching. nght-rdng, white-capping
these things let down the gap for reckless men to
kill and plumber. and Southern farm boy
should ever countenance any of them.
Right now. for instance. while the South is
bent upon the task OF developing a sober citizen
ship. the work is made difficult by lawless men
who too often have the sympathy OF other men
who ought to know better. Whatever the cities
may do. however. the farming people of the South
are going to stand for curling the evil OF intern
perancc and this means that the country boys
will have clearer heads. stronger bodies, and will
DO happier and more successful men than would
otherwise be possible

Animals That weep.

Animals That weep.
 Travellers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst, mule has been seen to cry from the pains of an injured foot, and camels, it is said, shed tears in streams. A COW sold by its mistress who had tended 1t from calfhood wept pftifully. A young soko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingstone didn't nurse it in his arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying. and apes have wept over their young ones slain by hunters. A chimpanzee train ed to carry water jugs broke one and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, discovering their young drowned, have been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe which a huntsman's rife had injured began to cry when approached. Sea lions often weep over the loss of their young. Gordon Cumming observed tears trickling down the face of a dying elephant And even an orang outang when deprived of its mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There Is little doubt, therefore, that animals do cry from grief or weep from pain or annoyance. - Harper's Weekly,

The Young Mems society and the Young Ladies' society of the German Reformed church joined last night in celebrating the twenty-fourth anniver- sary of the male organization and the twenty-ninth anniversary of the female society.

A procession was formed in the basement and the societies marched into the au- ditorium to strains of a processiona1 hymn rendered by Organist Ferrett.

A local char acter named Farrar was clerk and gen eral utility man at the Cumberland House in Bridgton village at that time and was accustomed to make note on the hotel register from day to day of local events-the weather, etc. In his chronicle of this sad event he wished to indicate that Deacon Libby's death was unnecessary. The following may be seen today on one of the old regis ters at the Cumberland House:

A guest who had just registered at hotel was approached by a boy with telegram. It had $1 charges on it.
 "WhatY' said the guest before open ing it. "A dollar charges! I won't pay it. Anybody who cannot pay for his message when wiring me is certainly a cheap one. Wait a minute. I'll just let you report this uncollected, and the sender may pay the charges"
 At that he tore the envelope open. As he read a smile settled on his face, and, pulling a dollar from his pocket he handed 1t to the boy.
 "It's all right" he said.
 Then he threw the message on the counter Read itr' he said to the clerk. The message read:

The Father of All Novels.

A great branch of literature, un- doubtedly the most widely popular and one in which England showed the way to the world, is the novel. In the year 1740 readers were delighted with a new kind of book, a prose romance not of legend, but of their own day and manners. 1t was the pioneer novel, was called Pamela" the work of Samuel Richardson, London print CT, and the great success it met with soon brought forth host of others.
