Mulberry Grove" where rest and ma

CENTRAL SCHOOL STORY TELL
ING.


In spite of the shower Friday after
noon, that came at most inopportune
time, 6 o'clock, the story-teller's hour,
a goodly crowd assembled on the CEN
trail school grounds at the invitation of
Miss Howell to enjoy an hour of story
telling. On account of the rain adjourn
ment was made to the building and
there all heard with delight the bible
story of Joseph told by Mr.. Whitfield
Jack, then came the fine story of the
great King Alfred told by Mrs. Will
Atkins. The third story was by
charming school girl, Emily Hunt, who
went into the heart of fairy lore. She
told Queen Silver Bells story of how
Winnie Hatched the Rocks, which, at
once, re-established the shattered faith
in fairy lore Emily has promised an
other story, and this is to be sure
enough ghost story Another delightful
surprise for the children was furnished
by this sweet school girl, and this was
delight to the palate, delicious candy of
her own making Miss Howell never
fails in what she undertakes, and she is
to be congratulated on the success of
her story teller's meet.

EAGI1 4 -O1NE LAM 4OONNJ.
Vigor of mind and body is not often
seen after three score and ten, these
strenuous times, and it makes one feel
that the latter days upon the earth are
the best, to see good sound physique,
good healthy appetite, sound sleep, in a
man of eighty. Maj. John Thomas
Byrd of the Old Dominion State, now
on visit to his son, Prof. C. E. Byrd,
fills these requirements for a green old
age. His well stored mind and wonder
full memory make him delightful COM
panion. And from his funds of war
stories and anecdote, hours of enter
tainment can be furnished. Many have
been the balcony talks enjoyed by
friends with this splendid old gentle
man, since his arrival in Shreveport.
On last Friday, ne spent the day in
company with Prof. Byrd, at a big
country picnic, returning at o'clock,
he was due at the story teller's meeting
at the central school, at o'clock he
was the expected guest of Mrs. M. H.
Williams and filled his appointment.
When asked if he didn't feel tired, he
laughed heartily, saying there's no
such thing with me as being tired. :"

CLaIM GREAT VICTORY.

Kentucky Anti-saIoon League People
Gain Strength In Legislature.
Lexington, KY, Nov. 3.-Kentucky's
election was more orderly than usual,
probably because two companies OF
state troops stood guard over the
polling places in Breathitt county.
However. the home of Mrs. Jim Dea.
ton was burned and a man named
Demosthenes Noble killed.
The anti-saloon people in Kentucky
are claiming they have won a great
victory. At the last session Of the
state legislature the anti-saloon league
needed but few votes of beir 2
strong enough to pass the county unit
bill.
They claimed to have gained TN
votes by the election throughout tho
state Tuesday and to be able now to
pass any temperance legislation de-
sired.

Slavery That Brings an Enormous
Revenue to tho MexIcan Govern.

Some astounding statements are made
by John Kenneth Turner In the Novem-
Der American Magazine. writing under
the title of 'Barbarous Mexico" a
country he has visited for a period of
two years to collect the data which he
has embodied into his remarkable series
of articles. OF a certain phase of the
deportation of the Yaqui Indians by the
Mexican Government, Mr.. Turner says:
"The secret which lies at the roots of
the whole Yaqui affair was revealed to
me and the whole matter summed up
in a few words by colonel in the
Mexican army, in one of the most re-
markable interviews which l obtained
during my entire trip to Mexico.
"For the past four years this officer
has been one of those in immediate
charge of transporting all the Yaqui
exiles to Yucatan. 1 was fortunate
enough to take passage on the same
steamer with him returning from Pro.
greso to Vera Cruz. He is stout,
comfortable, laxative old campaigner
of about sixty years. The steamship
people put us in the same stateroom,
and, as the colonel had some govern
ment passes which he hoped to sell me,
we were soon on the most confidential
terms.
''In the past three and one-half years,
he told me, II have delivered just fif-
teen thousand seven hundred Yaquis in
Yucatan-deiivered, mind you, for you
must remember that the government
meyer allows me enough expense money
to feed them properly, and from ten to
twenty per cent die on the journey.
'"These Yaquis, he said. sell In Yu.
catan for $50 apiece-men, women and
children. Who gets the money! Well
$40 goes to me for my services. The
rest Is turned over to the Secretary Of
War. This. however, is only drop in
the bucket, for know this to be a fact,
that every foot of land, every building,
every cow, every burro, everything left
behind by the Yaquis when they are
carried away by the soldiers, is appro.
priated for his private use by the official
in authority of the locality from which
they have been removed"
80 according to this man. who has
himself made at least $157, 900 out Of
the business, the Yaquis are being de.
ported for the money there is in it
first, the money from the appropriation
of their property, second, the money
from the sale of their bodies. He de.
clare to me that the deportations would
never stop until the last possible dollar
had been squeezed out of the business. Z"
