IT'S IN THE KIND.

Will some one define what is the diff
ference getween the "gloriously drunk
we won't go home till morning" in
ebriation and the "gentlemanly exuber-
ant" kind? Also when it can be expect
ed that the glorious" stage may be
evolved from the "gentlemanly exuber-
ant" state ?-Southern Sentinel.
We do not know but possibly the diff
ference is from the result of the effect
of the kind imbibed For instance. the
kind which may be called "tangle legs
could scarcely exhilarate into a "glori-
Gus drunk and the "gentlemanly exit
berant" should safeguard from "a drunk
and down" and night cell in the city
cooler. However, an over indulgence
will not fail in its lead to tribulation.

THE HOG PACKING PLANT.

At this time. besides the State Far.
greater than the establishment OF the
Hog Packing Plant,
As to location and natural advantages
Shreveports position is manifest.
With river and railroads reaching
from every direction and with soil and
climate which is unsurpassed, it would
seem that this is an ideal spot for such
a plant.
Why is there not such plant now
III full activity?
There was promised recently what on
its surface appeared to be reality, but
suddenly and unexpectedly the PROPOSE
ton collapsed.
There were given several explanations
for this failure Of a promised and almost
assured success. which has led to the
surmise that perhaps some silent, yet all
powerf,, interests are not favorably IN
clined towards such a plant III Shreve-
port.
At any rate there was offered at the
meeting OF the directors of the Pro
gressive League very practicable sug-
gestion which should enlist the active
cooperation OF every farmer and every
planter who favors the erection of hog
packing plant at or near Shreveport.
The proposition is simplicity itself.
1t is contemplated to organize stock
company. in which farmers and planters
are expected to subscribe for stock to
the amount of one dollar a share for
each hog they will pledge to deliver to
the plant 1t is estimated roughly that
about one hundred thousand dollars
could be secured through this plan and
with this guarantee there should be OBJ
tanned readily the machinery and the ex-
perience which would be subscribed
jointly by some enterprising concern in
Chicago. or other point.
This is no wild scheme for specula-
ton. but is based on practical common
sense and should lead to success.
As it is. whatever degree of enthusl-
asm is aroused is checked suddenly by
disappointment following the recent
Morris collapse.
There is no better section i'll the world
in which to grow hogs than throughout
North and Central Louisiana, East lex
as and Arkansas. but to grow hogs at
profit the hogs when ready for market
must be shipped to the packing house.
The committee having i'll charge the
hog packing plant are being encouraged
with hopeful promises of success.

THE FIRE AND IT'S WARNING

HE IKE AND IL , w hNNINN-
The fire which occurred i'll the Cooper
building. corner Texas and Edwards
streets, Thursday evening, is not with
out its warning Whatever its origin IS
irnmaterial in the consideration Of the
warning which should be needed.
In its incipiency the fire could have
been squelched readily. but the con-
sternation of those who sensibly
reached and brought into action the hose
in the building. there was no water.
The statement is that the pipes were
dry. Had there been water in the pipes
as there should have been. the fire would
have been squelched where it occurred.
Apparently the hose was in good con-
dition, but assuming that there had been
\ full pressure of water in this build
ing, would the hose have stood the
test of this water pressure?
Experience most costly has demon
strated the necessity of frequent inspec-
tions and tests of hose and fire appa-
ratus in every building where such safe
guards are provided.
The theory that building said to be
fire proof will not burn has been dis
proved 1t will take some time and may
entail some expense in such inspection
of hose and water supply and fire appa-
r2tus in general. but it is in an emer-
Eency that the wisdom of such precau-
tons is demonstrated practically and
economically.

STOCK MARKET DULL.
Anticipated Maturity of Loans Pro-
duces ListIess Week.

New York Dec 25.-Speculation in
stocks was dull and listless this week.
Volatile movements in individual stocks
were not convincing, especially as many
of them gave place to almost complete
relapses- Preparations for the heavy
year. and money requirements engaged
the money markets and kept the call
lean rate stiff, with dread of f1urries.
Confidence in relaxation in money af-
ter the turn of the year was modified
by the known requirements, including
large stock and bond subscription pay
ments in January, maturities of foreign
loans to American borrowers and the
possible necessity of gold exports to
meet them. Various dividend increases
give cheerful indication of prosperity
but wage controversies loom in the
incorporation measures at hand are
distracting factors.

FAKE BANK EXAMINERS.
Burglars Assume Disguise to Locate
Banks Weakness.

Washington. Dec 25.-Fake bank ex-
aminers are operating on the different
parts of the United States to an extent
which has brought them to the official
notice of the comptroller of the cur
rency. 1t is held by Comptroller Law
renee o. Murray that the men attempt
to play the part of an examiner for the
purpose of obtaining information as to
the location and strength of bank
vaults preparatory to forcing them.
Each authorized examiner is provided
with a commission signed by the secre-
tary of the treasury and the comp
troller. In addition he carries an identi-
hcation card bearing his signature,
which the banks may require him to
duplicate before giving him access to
the books.

hearts have been made glad
Captain A. NJ. Perry of the Ameri-
can Salvation army.reports that yes
terday the organization distributed rs
baskets, which was followed today by
perhaps thirty five more. The children
of twelve families were fitted with
winter clothing without charge, as is
the custom of the corps. The hall on
East Fourth street he reports has
been full every night for some time
past, and at the service last night
the eve of Chrlstmas-three were con-

baskets yesterday, and some more are
going out today. Those sent out this
morning are not the regular baskets,
however, and are being given to those
who call for them at the headquarters.
Thelr Christmas tree for children is
given on the last night of the year.

Among others her charity has extended
to the little Russians who live here,
and who are timid about finding the
places where Christmastide reigns. The
Humane society has been delivering to
the poor who can not get about those
things which have been distributed by
Mrs. Thorpe.
Much has also been done by the
Provident association, which organiza-
