The Gay.Shattuck Law.

|
tive against the saloon which has
been in existence prior to Janu-
airy |, 1909: and, if therefore
such Il saloon is exempt from and
is relieved of the requirements
of the law which provides the OBJ
tanning of a permit for selling in
tOxicating liquors and which ex.
cludes the opening of a saloon
within three hundred feet of a
church or a school, it follows
from a common sense view that
this law is a delusiOn, a travesty
of justice in its unfairnesS when
measured squarely in the scales
of equity and should be repealed
at the first sitting of the General
Assembly.
Under the construction of the
law, there is created an exclusive |
monopoly of the liquor traffic to
the saloons and clubs of the first
class which are located within
the circuit Or.space in which may
be embraced the Grunewald and
the Boston clubs, defendants in
this contention before the court.
If any saloon man not already
in business desired to open a sa.
hOOn or club within the radius
occupied by the saloons and the
clubs of the first class in New
Orleans, would he not be con.
fronted with the stlpulations?
Would he not have to have "a
permit" and he could not obtain
the license as his saloon when
opened would be declared to be
in cOntraventiOn of the law.
There is another feature of the
law which specifies that all APP
plicants for a permit to open and
operate a saloon must swear that
"they are citizens of the State
of Louisiana, law.abiding and OF
good moral character Are the
saloon men, if foreigners, wht
operated before and up to Janu
4 airy /, 1909, exempt, and if they
a are not, and of this number there
f are saloon men who are not citl

From dividend to sum;
But when he tells me how it was,

For never bein' late;
An when they studied jOggerfy,
He knew bout every state.

Knew all their outs and ins,
But when he tells me all O that,
Ny grandma she just grins.
NY pa he never mist day
A-gOin' to the school,
An never played no hockey, nor
Forgot the teachers rule;
An ev'ry class he's ever in,
The rest he always led,
My grandma, when pa talks that

Just laughs and shakes her head.
Ny grandma says at boys are boys
The same as pas are pas,

She says at little boys is best

TWO GOLDEN DAYS KEPT FREE
Yesterday and Tomorrow Should Be
Saved from All Worry.

There are two days in the week
upon which and about which l never
worry. Two golden days, kept
sacredly free from fear and apprehen-
sion.
One OF these days is yesterday.
Yesterday, with all it's cares and frets,
with all its pains and sorrows, has
passed forever beyond the power of
my control, beyond the reach of my
recall. l can not undo an act that I
wrought; can not recall a word that
1 said; can not calm a storm that
ragged on yesterday. All that 1t holds
OF my life. Of regret, or sorrow, or
wrong, Is in the hands of the mighty
love that can bring oil out Of the rock
and sweet waters out, OF the bitterest
desert-the love that can make the
wrong things right, and turn mourning
into laughter. Save for the beautiful
memories, sweet and. tender, that lin.
ger like perfume Of dried roses in the
heart: of the day. that is gone, ILhavs
nothing to do with yesterday. 1t was
mine; now it belongs to God.
And the other day I do not worry
over is TOMORROW, Tomorrow, with
all Its possible. cares, It's burdens, its
sorrows. its perils,. it's poor perform
ings and its bitter mistakes, Is as far
beyond my reach Of mastership as is
its dead sister, yesterday.-Banner cf

JEWELLERS IN ARCTIC REGION.
Peculiar Views OF Life Entertained by
Eskimo Men and Women.

These people of the white world,
these children Of the snow and ice,
give themselves little concern regard
Ing what is going on in worlds be-
yOnd their own. The climate in which
they live and the limitations of their
whole environment make 1t impossible,
writes j. l.. Harbour in Leslie's Week
ly, that there should be much change
In their own manner of life. and they
do not care for the changes that soap
and water might make in their domes-
tic life, while the women of the fam
lily are not anxious to adopt changes
In methods of cooking that might
make some of the dishes they pre-.
pare much cleaner and far less dead
~ than they appear to be. But the
best-filled larder in the homes of the
most afIluent of the Eskimos offers
little in the way of variety In food and
The question so vexing to the Ameri
can housewife: What shall We have
Tor breakfast" or for dinner or sup
per, never troubles the Eskimo house
wife, since these meals may not vary
for months at a time and are pre-
pared in the primitive way in which
they were prepared by the Eskimos of
generations and generations ago.
The dress of the women and the men
is so much alike that II an Eskimo
lady.s husbands clothes happened to
be better than her own she might Dor
row them to wear to some Eskimo So
ctety function without exciting any
comment; as to her, dress. @. ...s.. -.
AS in some other lands, the man is
regarded as being vastly superior to
the woman, and the birth of a girl Is
never regarded as a blessing Indeed,
1t often happens that both the father
and mother resort to that unavailing
folly OF tears and lamentations when
1t is Announced that a new conner Is
girl. A boy can become a great fish
erman or great hunter, while girl
of what use is she? A mere cum
berer Of the earth, regardless Of the
fact that she works as many hours
day as, and even more than, q man
when she reaches the goal of her am
bitfon and marries. Not to marry is
as sad misfortune as may befall her,
and If she Is married and widowed she
makes all possible haste in securing
second partner. ~

Ancient Trees.

Brazilian cocoanut palms live from
500 to 700 years, and the Arabs assert
hat the date palm frequently reaches
the age Of 200 to 300 years. Wallan's
oak, near Paisley, Scotland, is known
to be more than TOO years old, and
there are eight olive trees on the
Mount of Olives, near Jerusalem,
which were known to have been -four
ishing in 1899. The yews at Fountain
Abbey, Yorkshire, were old trees
when, in 1882, the abbey was built,
and redwood at Mariposa grove,
California, Is a manifold centenarian.
Baobah trees OF Africa have been com.
puted to be more than 5000 years old.
and the, deciduous cypress at Chapul.

greater age. Humboldt said that the

Prefer Money to Husbands.

There are LOO women in Noting
