So Called Prohibition Law.
Chataiqnier. La. Aug. 81. 1909.

Chataignier, La, Aug. 81, 1909.
Editor of the Clarion.-Wil you
allow me a small space in your valuable
paper to express my opinion in regard
to the so called prohibition law that
was voted on, and was carried last
year. Personally | was not in favor
Of prohibition, but ! saw so many
men that could not control them
selves that / thought il best to try
to pass q law that would at least
stop the abuse of Whiskey to some
extent. So ! voted and did all I could
to carry the election in favor Of pro-
hibition.
But have we prohibited che sale Of
Whiskey in st. Landry? The recent
occurrences in 0pelousas viii answer
tEsrH" ItEHH #EAF4@gHAH
the question in the negative, and the
recent occurrences at L~anse-aux-
Pailles and Chataignier will also
answer the question in the negative.
At q ball some time ago in Lanse-
aux-Pailles four men were shot, of
which one may die, whiskey was at
the bottom of all the trouble. Last
Saturday night at a ball at MI. Mimi
Manuels a few boys from Lanse-aux-
Pailles filed with whiskey came down
here and tried to break up the ball,
but Mr.. Manuel used his shotgun
and three Of the boys left, filed with
No. 4 shot, after shooting about 20
or Is pistol shots at Mr.. Manuel and
the house that the ball was going on
in. All this was caused by some
#E#F4EZ H
very undesirable and not law abiding
citizen Of this parish that is running
a blind tiger in this parish some
where.
The recent occurrences in Opel
ousas does not reflect very fayorably
on our parish officials. Was it a lack
Of ability that kept them from ferret
ing out these blind tigers, Or was it
a lack Of effort? Gentlemen, you may
prove the characters Of those detec-
tives to be very bad but let the truth
be the truth, they have done more to
locate the blind tigers ii a few weeks
then ym have done in six months.
Somebody might say it is none of
that fellows, down there in Chatai-
gnier, business what happened in
0pelousas--it was only a little family
quarrel and we had a meeting and
everything has been amicably ar
ranged. But let me say right here
that when whiskey is sold whether it
be in Opelousas, Vile Platte, Eunice
or Port Barre it concerns every citizen
of the parish, If We have a law that
prohibits It's sale.
The prohibition law did a great
deal Of good when it first went into
effect, but when the dens Of those
living beasts were located, then we
began to see the bad effects Of the
discoveries. | think that when a
crime is committed, when whiskey is
the cause, the one that sold the
whiskey should touch his conscience
and ask himself il be is not che one
that is responsible for the crime for
selling whiskey unlawful.y.
If any more Of this fighting and
shooting goes on we will try to find

SIZING UP THE BABY.
Varying Views of the Different Mem
bers of the Family.

This is what the Browns had to say
of the latest addition to the family:
The Mother-Oh, isn't he the cutest,
grandest handsomest, smartest little
fellow in the whole world? Such eyes!
Such features! Such shoulders! And
hear him talk, will you? Why, he un-
derstands perfectly every word | say.
The Father-There' boy for you!
Smith will brag about that kid of his,
will he? Well, you just wait until this
youngster Is a month old, and I'll take
the conceit out of Smith!
Little BObby-So that's what the
stork brought eh? Gee, the stork must
have it in for this family!
Little Bella-Oh, ma, he's swallowed
all his teeth, and all his hairs blowed
off!
cause you folks any anxiety, but he's
the smallest human being l ever saw
outside of a dime museum. You want
TO feed him upon roast beef and pOr-
terhouse steak right away.
Uncle Jack (a dog fancier)-Is his
nose cold? Hold him up by the back
Of his neck and We'll see If he's got
any nerve.
Grandma-There you go, spelling the
child as soon as he has his eyes open!
/ suppose when he's month old we
shall all have to stand on our heads to
amuse him! Give me that infant this
instant before he has collie and dies!
The Family Cat-Well. that settles
my hash! It's either hunt a new home
or become a tailless feline inside of
month Why, that kids got a grip on
him like longshoreman'S!
The Baby-Goo-goo! Goo-goo! Goo
goo-goo-goo! Or, in other words, I'll
make it good and hot for this family
about midnight!-St. Louis Republic.

THE ARMY DESERTER.
He Is a Marked Man, and His Chances
Of Escape Are Few.


1.-THE most persistently trailed law
breaker In the United States today is
the deserter from the army" said
captain Of the United States army.
"From the time he is found missing
at the post where he Is stationed until
the inevitable hour when an officer Of
eny Of dozen different federal and
civic denominations lands him In GUS
tOdy he Is a criminal marked for pun
ishment, and he is shrewd indeed IL he
escapes.
"FOur-ifths Of the deserters are for
eign born and professional army de-
serters with bad records left behind
them IN Europe. These men, as / un-
derstand it. deserted from armies in
the old countries, came here In search
Of work, didn't get anything to suit
them and joined our forces only to get
tired and want to quit again. What
they get In the end is a term in the
guardhouse or in the national prison
for bad soldiers.
Beside the chances Of an escaping
soldier to get away from his punish
ment that Of an ordinary jailbreaker,
bounded by civil officers, is a baga-
telle. In the first place, soldier in or
out OF uniform Is a soldier in habits
and carriage, with the telltale step
and mannerisms OF the service. The
lockstep Of the state prison will wear
away because it Is only an incidental
OF prison life, and the convict doing
time can do 1t more or less perfectly,
according to his inclination or the
watchfulness Of the guard, but the
whole life Of the soldier Is soldering,
and he can never get away from it.
"Now, turn a man so marked out in
the world with fifty dollar reward on
his head and send to every village
pOstoflice, police station, constable,
sheriff and United States marshal in
the whole country his accurate de.
scription and a picture Of him in two
attitudes and you have placed him in
the predicament Of the deserting sol
dler and narrowed his chances to an
inhnitesimal bit Of progress within
fifty miles from the starting point
without arrest"
The captain said that more money
was probably spent by the government
in advertising n deserter than the re-
ward Of $50 offered for his capture

His Name Mas Sufficient.

San Malato, the famous Sicilian duel
ist, seemed to have stepped into our
prosaic modern life straight from the
pages of Brantome. His fame had
done more than penetrate the four cor
ners Of Europe. 1t had reached his
own home. Some misguided Sicilian
bandits held up coach one night and
summoned It's solitary traveller to
come out From the shadowy depths
of the vehicle came two short SEN
tences In a cold, staccato voice:
Spread out your cloaks. The mud
must not spoil my boots when I de-
scend." The cutthroats fled with the
awe striking whisper of "San Malato"
upon their quivering lips.-London Tel
