the President is Cain and he finds
that the mark Of the beast Is on
Roosevelt's forehead and that the
numbers Of the beast as given in the
Book Of Revelations spell Roosevelt.
Evans says God has instructed him
to go all the way and He would be
with him. He says he is like Daniel
in the lions den and nothing can harm
him. He can put his hands in fire and
not be burned. He can scratch all ov-
err broken glass and no injury will re-
suit He is ready to give up his life
in execution of Gods will. He also
says his son is Abel on earth, and
that is why he feels called upon to
carry out Gods will and kill Cain.
Night before last he rode in a hack
all over town, hunting for Cain. Fin
ally he was taken to an Advent
Church by the driver where Evans
says he discovered that it was. the City
of Babel, and that If he had stayed
there longer he would have become
crazy.
Evans has five sons, the Oldest Ia

The New Phillips.

It is very seldom nowadays that
one sees any relic of the motives that
prompted our present civilization in
America. And this relic is an old hat
of over hundred years of age is
all the more interesting. Away back
in our history can be found the blood
of the Puritans. 1t was the Puritans
who furnished the stable blood of
America and anything with direct re-
ference to the people of the northeast
ern coast is of more or less signific-
ance. Danny Mann as Uncle Hicky"
in Mandy Hawkins" at the New Phil
lips this half week wears a hat that
was given him by the grandson of one
OF the original Puritans. The hat is
in very disreputable condition. Dan
ny also wears pair of boots that are
over eighty years of age. Mr.. Mann
says these boots have been on every
vaudeville stage in the United States,
a great number in Canada and few in
Mexico The work of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mann in their rural comedy -pathos
skit retains its charm and enchant-
ment. The applause given the turn
by the audience is particularly com
mandatory to both the actors.

THEATRICAL CALENDAR.
GENNETT.
All Week-Aubrey Stock Co
NEW PHILLIPS.
All Week-Aigh Glass Vaudeville.
Otis Skinner.

Theatergoers who are lovers of Bal
zac's novels, have in store for them
an unexpected treat in the production
by Otis Skinner at the Gennett thea
ter, Jan. %, of his newest success,
1.-The Honor of the Family" adapted
by Paul M. Potter from one of Bal
zac's justly famous romances. The
play ran for four months in New
York last season to crowded houses,
at the beautiful Hudson theater. Ev-
erything that Mr.. Skinner produces
is of extreme interest. Intense devo-
ton to his art, an excellent habit OF
thinking for himself and so imparting
originality into every part he creates,
have been the secret OF his great sue
cess. The Honor of the Family" is a
strong, daring drama, with an essen
italy romantic environment. Mr..
Skinner will assume the character OF
Philippe Bridau, one of the faithful
Bonapartists after the Emperor s
downfall. who vowed in good earnest
a mortal enmity to the Bourbons and
even refused the opportunities which
were offered to him for employment
| in the Infantry with his rank of Lieu
| tenant Colonel The character is one
| in which recklessness, unblushing eff
| frontery and cool courage are blended
in most fascinating way.

The probability of an early report
from the public morals committee of

1.-THE county option law has caused
caucus of republicans to be called to
consider what action should be taken.
The republican members are looking
for report on the bill not later than
tomorrow and they say that a minor
'ity report Is sure to be turned in with
1.-THE majority report. Under the rules
the minority report must first be dis
posed of. 1t is expected that the
democrats will vote to adopt the ma
ljority report In favor of the passage
lof the bill. The republicans will vote
flor the minority report to kill the
bin.
Republicans Doubtful
But it has been learned that the
Republicans are not anywhere near a
unit on the proposition, and that some
lof them refuse to be bound by any
caucus rule.
The caucus broke up without any
ldSTGCIHtuL DeluS IcdCucu HIS was
due mainly to the fact that Represen-
natives Schroeder and Hewig of Ev-
Evansville refused to be bound by any
caucus agreement to line up solidly
against the repeal bill, and Represen-
,tative Ratliff, of Richmond, declared
that he favored giving each member

Mrs. Wimbish had been an in.

her as surcease from pain.

Will Try Soy Bean Planting.

Mr.. B. E. Eskridge has just
returned from the experimental
farm of the State of Tennessee
at Knoxville where he went tC
look into the Soy bean PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. Eskridge comes back
very much encouraged and has
decided to plant 100 acres oil
these beans here next spring,
He finds that these beans are
being grown throughout Tenn,
essee and are fast becoming one
of the staple crops of the coun.
try.
On the experimental farm he
found that they were producing
2 tons per acre and at the pres.
ent price these two tons of beans
are worth $1,000. The stalk and
limbs and leaves of this Soy
bean are considered better stock
hay than almost any other kind
of hay now grown. The U. S.
Government officials have said
that the Soy bean was the great.
est land-renovator known to-day.
These beans can be planted after
a crop of oats or Irish potatoes
are taken off every year and are
easily grown and do not require
a great deal of cultivation.
Several planters in this parish
have grown these beans on a
small scale but next year it is
expected that several crops will
be raised for commercial pur.
poses. These beans are fast tax.
ing the place of cotton seed meal
and the Oil Company here will
encourage their being planted
here as much as possible.
Any one wishing to plant these
beans may write to Mr.. Il. e.
and he will gladly give
them all the information he can.
Here is another way of killing
off hard times" and if our farm.
ers will try this, We feel safe in
saying that the effects of the
boil weevil" will soon pass away
and our country blossom as it
never did before. Mr.. Eskridge
brought back two specimen
plants of the Soy, and these are
on exhibition at the Bank of
West Feliciana, where those in.

JudSOn's Last Sunday.

From the Times.DemOcrat Of
Friday is clipped the following
account of JudsOn's last day
alive:
IN July JudsOn appeared be.
fore DR.. Clarence Pierson, the
superintendent of the asylum,
with request to be allowed to
go to DR.. McKOwen's home.
Judson told the superintendent
the physician had asked him to
come. DR.. PierSOn verified this
to make sure JudsOn was not in.
ficting unwelcome company on
the family, then let him go in
company with Mcqueen Ian at
tendantl. The latter took the
man to McKowen's home almost
every Sunday after that.
Last Sunday he went out with
Mcqueen as usual, and left DR..
McKowen's home some time la.
ter in a buggy with the physician.
Mcqueen had gone on to his
home as usual.
There are witnesses who say
DR.. McKOwen was alone in the
buggy, apparently, a little while
after he left his house. The
physician returned that evening,
it is said, then left again in his
jumper after dark, and got back
early in the morning.
II. E. Mcqueen returned to the
asylum without Judson, and is
said to have made no report of
Juds0n's failure TO return. DR..
Pierson missed JudsOn after a.
time, and asked Mcqueen where
the man was. Mcqueen answer
ed that he had been left with the
physician.
'Dr. Person says he called up
DR.. McKOWen's house, and that
Mrs. McKowen answered the
telephone, saying JudsOn had
left the house with her husband
at 4 or ) o'clock. DR.. Person
left man at the gate all night,
expecting Judson to return late,
but next morning, when he found
Judson still out, he says he call.
ed up Dr.. McKOwen's home
again. This time, he says, the
doctor answered, and replied
that JudsOn had left his home
the night before to 90 to the
asylum. DR.. PiersOn is reported

as having said that DIR. McKowen
seemed nervous.
Mcqueen, it is said, violated
a rule Of the asylum in not re.
porting JudsOn's absence when
he returned to the asylum, and
in fact broke a rule when he did
not bring the man back with
him."
