Lake Charles Man Mistakes Shower

resulted in much good to the growing
rice crop.'

forcibly by the great founder OF the
Ananias club, we can think OF no oth-
er grounds to excuse anyone for send
mo ont such a report, than that ne
had taken an unaccustOmed shower

as a general rain throughout the par
