New AUTOMATIC GATE
Picket VIII Manufacture His Patent Gate in
CfoWIsy-.Aitraeiing Attention.

Says the Crowley Signal: a. B.
Picket, Of Opelousas, the inventor
and patentee Of a remarkable new
invention, is in the city on business
in connection Herewith. Mr.. Pick
ett's invention IS what might be
termed an automatic gate. II APP
pearance it does not differ materially
from the ordinary gate, but is differ
emit in operation to the extent that il
is, as its name implies, automatic
in fact, perfectly so-and is unques-
tionably one Of the best Of the recent
inventions placed on the market.
Mr. Pickett worked on the plan
for q long while, and success has
finally rewarded his efforts. Several
months ago he applied for a patent,
and recently this was granted him,
with the result that be will now place
it on the market. With this object
in view MIR. Pickett came 10 Crowley
and perfected arrangements with the
Acadia Iron Works, whereby this well
known company will manufacture the
gates at their plant in this city. One
of the completed gates is today being
erected on the vacant lot adjoining
the Office Of the IRON Works, and it is
attracting a great deal Of interest.
The fact that the Southern Pacific,
Texas 8 Pacific and 0pelouaas and
Gulf railroads have endorsed Mr.
Piekett's gate and viii contract for
4 large number Of them for use along
their right Of way in Louisiana and
other states IS conclusive proof that
the invention is q good one. These
great systems Of railways are quick
TO realize the need of such improve
ments, and the fact that they strongly
favor the new automatic gate is il
itself q strong endorsement shai
speaks volumes for the success q
the invention.
Mr. Pickett stated this morning
that be had appointed Valrey Gull
beau as the local representative ant
solicitor for She new gate. Managel
j. e. Hinchlife OF the Acadia lrol
Works regards the new invention g
a wonder, and expects to turn then
out BY the hundreds il the nea
future.

LineoIn's Love Of Berries.

Mrs. Lincoln, having been reared
IN an atmosphere Of the most re-
fined elegance, attached great i'm
portance to all the details Of ETH
quette, especially those Of the table.
Lincoln, on the other hand, was
notably careless and Indifferent IN
regard to such matters, yet his af-
lection for, and desire to please his
wife, caused him to strive to avoid
annoying her BY forgetfulness of any
little breach Of etiquette, if possible.
A young soldier, a mere boy, had
deserted from the army, in order to
see his sick mother, and was con
demned to be shot.
The father, an old man, hastened
to Washington, in great distress,
and knowing little Of Lincoln, ask
ed for Mrs. Lincoln, hoping to
gain her sympathy and aid. Telling
her all the circumstances, he begged
her to assist him in laying the mat
ter before the Presidents.
Said Mrs. Lincoln, much moved:
Il viii tell you what to do. Mr..
Brown! Take dinner with US to-mor-
r~ow,-there will be no other guests.
Mr.. Lincoln is very fond Of straw
berries, and he knows that it annoys
me very much to have him ask for a
second helping, if there is company.
DO you wait until the President
finishes his first saucer. Then III
surprise him BY asking him 10 take
more, and it will please him 50 that
I'm sure he will listen to anything
you say
The old man gladly agreed, and
duly appeared at the appointed time.
The dessert consisted Of unusually
fine Strawberries, and the President,
after finishing his first saucer, laid
down his spoon with a sigh and visit
full glance in the direction Of his
wife. To his surprise, she leaned
forward, and with a meaning glance
at her guest, said brightly:
Won't you have another saucer Of
berries. BIZ. Lincoln? They are M
usually liner
With a start Of pleased surprise,
Lincoln eagerly passed to her bis
empty saucer.
Quickly filing il with the delicious
berries, and adding an extra quantity
Of rich cream, she returned it to her
husband, with another glance al

The old man Immediately began his
story, ably assisted BY the lady, and
Lincoln replied, as he enjoyed hi
