WifeIy Pride,

There is no telling what quaint turns
wifely pride and devotion may take.
Sir Melvill Beachcroft, while waiting
in tenement house for the occupant
of the first floor to admit him, CHANGED
to overhear two women conversing on
the stairs
One remarked that her husband al
ways wore clean shirt every Sunday
morning.
"Well, now" responded the other. 81
never cares about Sundays, but l allays
do see that e as a clean shirt Satur-
day afternoons, COS that's the time e
is generally drinking, and when e does
take is coat off to fight l do like to
know e looks nice and clean."-M.

Fooled the Bees.

There was pretty little maid who wore
a beehive hat.
So natural its flowers and so realistic
that
One day when she was rambling through
posy garden red
A swarm of bees surrounded her and set
tied on her head
Ye stars and little fishes! That maid will
neer forget
She tore her hat asunder, and they say
she's running yet.

Andrew, impatient and totally uncon-
scious Of their anxieties in his behalf,
bluntly locked his door in her very
face and, getting out his printing
frame, settled down to business.
The sunshine was bright in his south
window, and he had a print complet-
ed in quick time He held it to the
light excitedly, the water dripping
from it.
"Christmas, it's a goddess he ejac-
ulated.
She peered out at him, her laughing
face round and mischievous. Her
dress was of olden style, with huge
panniers at the side and a trim, laced
bodice with a low French neck and
little puff sleeves. One tiny foot stuck
out saucily in a high heeled French
boot.
Andrew stared at her amazed. The
arched eyebrows and delicate face
were patrician. She might have just
stepped out of some old French paint
ing Why had he not noticed her as
he snapped the picture? 1t was all
mysterious. Then he heard Mr.. Merri-
wether's step outside and called to
him:
"Any little French court ladies
around here?" he inquired.
Andrew opened the door, and Lemuel
came in, puzzled expression on his
honest old face.
''Not that l know Of" he answered.
"Well, then, I'm seeing things"
laughed Andrew, because I saw one
in the woods yesterday, puffs and ruff
f1es and high heeled shoes"
"You did,! exclaimed Lemuel slow
ly. You did, eh?'
Then, to Andrews surprise, Lemuel
quickly took the key from the lock
and, putting it in again on the outside
of the door, went out, locking it behind
him.
Andrew pounded and yelled in rage
half hour went by; then a carriage
drew up to the door, and a second lat
err Lemuel unlocked Andrews door and
entered, strange gentleman with him.
mot feeling well, l hear?' the
strange gentleman remarked.
First l knew of it," spluttered An
drew.
Hes got relapse" exclaimed Lem
uel. "Gone crazy like. Seeing things.
Saw a French court lady in the woods
yesterday But he got no further.
DR.. Snow broke out into mighty
roar.
$50 you are the young gentleman?
he said. Lets see the picture"
Andrew brought it sulklly forth, not
yet understanding
Its my niece, Dianthe Barrows,"
explained the doctor after a minute,
still laughing.
Andrew smiled. Dianthe!
How the name fitted her,
"She was attending a fancy dress
lawn party at Stratford, about six
miles up the river, on the other side.
She padded down in her canoe and,
seeing those pretty birch trees, wan
dered into the woods, hiding her canoe
of course, did not see her. She knew
that she would probably show in the
picture, as she happened to peer out
from behind the trees just as you
snapped it, She was dressed in a
French costume that used to be her
great ~roat-aunt's We had a good
laugh last night when she told us
about it. We could imagine what a
surprise it would be to the gentleman,
whoever be might be. after the picture
was printed"
cit was" said Andrew, laughing him
self now.
Isis she staying with you here in
town."
The doctor smiled little.
Yes; for the summer. At present
she is sitting outside in my buggy,
holding the horse
"I'll come out and meet her," said
Andrew promptly. 81 always knew
I'd marry a girl named Dianthe.'

primary schools near home, and when
thew desire to obtain a higher educa-
ton after they have finished there,
they go to the nearest High School
and attain it there. They are open
to pupils from any portion Of the
parish. Therefore it would seem to
US that the course to pursue is plain:
10 close the primary schools one
week earlier will not materially re-
tard the education of the pupils Of
the primary schools, while the closing
Of the High Schools before the time
prescribed by the State Board viii
have the effect Of their losing their
standing as High Schools and there
fore of Gripping public education il
the parish,
The Clarion would stand against
any preference on the part of the
school board being shown the High
Schools as against the primary schools
under ordinary circumstances. But
under the conditions that present
themselves at this moment, it would
seem the wise policy for the Board
to adopt to save the Parish High
Schools at the sacrifice Of one week
for the primary schools.

TIE HIGH SCHOOLS.

The Clarion understands that State
superintendent 7. H. Harris has writ
ten superintendent Thompson. of this
parish, requesting him to urge upon
Che parish Board Of School Directors
the imperative necessity Of continn-
ing the High Schools Of the parish
for the full term of nine months, in
pursuance Of which there will be a
strong effort made at the meeting of
the Board here next week to induce
that body to pursue that course.
70 continue every High School in
the parish for a full term, it will be
necessary 70 sacrifice one week Of
the primary schools throughout the
parish. The question, therefore, IS
resolved into what is calculated 10
prove of more benefit generally, to
continue the High Schools for the
full term, or three weeks longer than.
the time set for the closing Of all
schools. or the closing Of the primary
schools one week sooner than the
time set for their closing and The run
ming Of the High Schools throughout
the parish for nine months.

Perhaps many VINO enyeigh against
the gentlemen who are instrumental
il tying Up the division election for
get to what extent the citizens Of
the old parish were provoked by the
gentlemen who are seeking division.
Although the agitation for division
before even the election was ordered,
and since it has assumed the shape
Of a campaign, the d~iyisionists have
persisted in a headlong plunge for, to
use a common expression, the world
and q fence around it."
At no time have they been reason
able in their demands.
At all time have they been greedy
and grasping, moving heaven and
earth to mutilate the old parish and
humiliate its people as much as pos
sibIe.
They do not come before the peo-
pie as a community asking a legiti-
mate, fair t~hing-asking for some
thing for which they have a right to
ask.
They come before the people as a,
contingent Of a community asking
that al old an honorable parish be
wrecked 50 they might build upon its
ruins a parish containing more area
than necessary, and made up Of the
most beautiful and most fertile ter
ritory Of tile present parish.
They come, as Mr.. Lewis points out
IN his letter this week, and ask that
the parish be divided, they to take
most Of the lultivable lands and leav-
iag to the ola parish the most Of the
swamp land; taking a population com
paratively composed Of thrifty whites,
and leaving to the old parish d popula-
tion composed largely Of INDECENT ne
groes who are always a burden on
Che taxpayers.
Intoxicated by electing four Repre-
sentatives and the Senator from this
parish through combination with Office
seekers and b concentration Of votes,
the divisionists seem to have run
amuck and pursued the policy that
that they had the brutal force TO put
through anything they desired, and
this policy they have followed to an
e~xasperating extent.
What blame, then, can attach the
people who resent these iniquities
and this in~solence, particularly when
these are about to be perpetrated
through an act which they believe is
against the law Of the land?
III were woeful enough if these pro-
voking and unrighteous indignities
and this irreparable damage were
sought to be inflicted through a legal
election, but when the gentlemen
who caused the injunction 10 be is
sued discovered that not only was the
enabling act wicked and unjust, but al.
al contrary to law, then who will blame
them for appealing to the courts Of
the land, and lighting to the last
ditch?

Children, dear, you have lost your
mother,
And in this world you will find no

Who IN your heart viii take the

That mother did with loving grace.
Mourn not for her who has departed,
Although she leaves you broken

But remember her as the mother you
love,
And try to meet her in Heaven above.
You have loved her here for many
years,
She has left unconscious Of your
tears
TO join some loved ones gone before
And fold them in her arms the more.
And while she guards up there with
love,
She will prepare q place for you
above,
So try and meet your mother again.
Where all IS love and God is King.
