The flames were quickly extinguish-
ed and the damage is slight and cover
ed by insurance, but the fire is one of
the most unfortunate we have had in
Covlngton, resulting in the serious in
jury of Frank Boudousquie, one of
our most popular young men and a
member of the Fire Department. Mr.
Boudousquie had taken charge of one
of the portable fire extinguishers and
after charging it rushed through the
doorway into the building, striking
the extinguisher on the door casing
as he passed. Expecting to reach the
fire quickly he had failed to turn open
the nozzle and the jolting blow caused
the $50 pound pressure to explode the
tank. The conclusion severely bruis-
ed his side. He was caught as he fell
by Mr.. Fontaine Poole and Mr.. H. R.
Warren, who carried his insensible
body into room in the Southern
Hotel. DR.. Gautreaux was called in
and gave him medical attention,
pronouncing his injuries serious. Rev.
Father Koegerl was called to the bed
side and administered religious conso-
lation. Only Mrs. Boudousquie and
members of the family were allowed
in the room, and it was rumored that
Mr.. Boudousquie's injuries were fatal.
Later in the day, however, news was
received that the vomiting of blood
had ceased and that the patient had
been able to retain glass of milk,
with indications of improvement in
MS condition. Mrs. Carrie Rousseaux,
q practical trained nurse, is in con-
slant attendance.

10 the Teachers Of st.
nammany Parish

There will be five summer schools
held in Louisiana this summer for the
benefit of teachers. The summer
schools at Ruston, Lafayette and
Natchitoches are for teachers holding
second and third grade certificates.
The summer schools at the Louisiana
State University and the Tulane Uni
yersity are for teachers holding first
grade certificates and normal gradu-
ates, also college and university gradu-
ates.
The tuition is free to all Louisiana
teachers and the board has been re-
duced to a minimum so that all teach
ers may be able to attend. No teach
er in st. Tammany Parish can afford
to miss the great benefit derived by
attending enc of these schools, and
earnestly urge all teachers of this
parish to avail themselves of the
wonderful opportunities offered them
in these schools.
The people are looking for progress
sive and up-to-date school men and
women. If you are not progressing
you are stagnating. You cannot keep
up with the wonderful progress the
public schools of Louisiana are making
unless you avail yourself of these
summer schools from time to time.
No teacher can afford to sit down and
fail to improve himself or herself,
whether he or she be normal, college
or university graduate. Your diploma
is worthless unless your watch word
is progression. You must keep up with
the procession or step down and out,
Other things being equal it is our pur-
pose to give preference to those teach
ers who attend the summer schools.
Besides the benefit you get from the
training in these schools, you get uni
versity credits from the Louisiana
State University and the Tulane Uni
versity, and like credits from the In
dustrial Schools of Ruston and Lafa-
yette. At the State Normal the con-
aitions are still better. A teacher can
attend thirteen weeks and get one
full term credit on his or her gadua-
ton, and by attending in the summer
and teaching in the winter they can
secure diploma from the State
Normal. Every teacher who is not
a normal graduate should not miss
this wonderful opportunity. You owe
it to the children you teach and to
your profession to move forward. Ii
YOU can't do better work this year
than you did last year, you nave no
business to continue in the work.
Very respectfully,
a. b. PETERs, supt.

Anent the Electric Road
EDITOR st. Tammany Farmer:

Euitof ST. Iammany Farmer:
Something should be done, by the
people of Covington and Abita to in
duce the boats plying to Vaudeville
and the st. Tammany and New Or
leans Railways and Ferry Company
to make rates from New Orleans to
Covington and Abita which will insure
these towns some of the benefit from
the boat traffic from New Orleans and
the railroad traffic from Vaudeville.
Uunder present conditions nine out of
every ten excursionists by boat from
New Orleans lay over in Vaudeville
on account of the differential of SOC
in favor Of that town. If the COM
bined rates of the boats and of the
st. Tammany and New Orleans R. R.
Company were to equal the fare of the
New Orleans and Great Northern R.
+. Co., many more excursionists would
come to Covington and Abita than is
now the case.
Under present conditions, neither
Covington nor Abita Springs is get
ting what is coming to them. They
are entitled to some of the patronage
from the excursionists who use the
boat and they are getting very little
of it at present. Mr.. Riggs, of the
st. Tammany and New Orleans R. R,
Co., should try to equalize all these
towns as to rates from New Orleans.
Under present conditions, the Great
Northern R, R. is doing more for
Covington and Abita than the boats
and motor road are doing. The people
of Covington and Abita voted a tax
in favor of this road for the purpose
of getting excursionists frow New Or
leans by water, in competition with
the Great Northern. Their just ex-
pectations are not being realized and
will not be unless some action is taken
in the matter to bring the boats and
the St. Tammany and New Orleans
r. r. Co., together upon plan to put
Covington and Abita upon a footing
of equality with Vaudeville.
Another thought suggests itself.
The schedule during the month of
May, June, July, August, September
and October should be every hour
from Covinglon to Vaudeville and
vice versa, and every half hour be-
tween Abita and Covington. This
would be paying schedule and salts
factory in all respects to the people.
n would be stimulus to traffic over
the electric road and its wisdom would
he soon be justified. We have got to
10 something to improve existing con-
ditions. -,
Next week will have something
n saw of the fearful service we are re-
ceiying from the Great Northern.
Respectfully,
II. L. GARLAND.

Mrs. John I'll. AttenhOffer
Dedicated by Roland Morgan.

A patient soul has been called from
life
And borne to heaven above,
Where naught is known of pain and
strife,
BEST with the Angels love.
Her sleep is sweet where all is peace,
Where sadness cannot reach her
breast,
Where all life's bitter moments cease,
And pain gives way to rest.
And the faithful soul finds, alas,
The Joy of angels love to cure it's
woes.
She's won her way through the temp
est's roar,
And her spirits flown to the Golden
Shore.
