In the spring of 1895 the distin-
guished Dutch novelist known by the
pen name of Maarten Martens was
elected an honorary member of the
Authors club Of New York, says the
Bookman. When the name Joost Ma
RUS M Van der Poorten-Schwartz
came to the attention Of the member
ship conn ittee there was a gasp of
astonishment. Finally the late Bill
Nye came to the rescue with the sug-
gestion that the first half of the name
should be acted on at once, but that
the last half should be held over until
the autumn, when the weather would
be cool.

The Soul.

Each soul is a world in which all
good is accessible and all evil possible.
Each soul is also battlefield in which
the vast hosts of good and evil, folly
and wisdom, are forever at war. The
individual is an autocrat, an emperor,
car, who can advance at will the
standard of right or wrong within his
own soul.-Orlando Jay Smith

Paine, Of Vaudeville, will enter Tulane Col

High School, of which Prof E. E. Lyon is
principal, and as it does not belong to the
affiliated high schools of the State, for the
reason that music and drawing is not in
cluded in it's courses of study. It speaks
we'll for the efficiency of this school that
Tulane should make an exception in favor
of one of our scholars. Miss Paine will be a
conditioned student and will have three
points to make up, but as she is an excep-
tionally bright scholar she expects little diff
ficulty in complying with this condition.

Another indication of the thoroughness of
our public school is the ease with which pu-
pills pass examinations in similar grades in
other schools. Miss Lucille, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Chas. l.. Smith, of Covington, is

Not the least of the undertakings of the

The benefits of such an association are not

We have tried very hard to get in full supply
