COSTLY ADVICE.

Bright and early one morning q
farmer started to town to sell his
produce. In this town there lived
a lawyer who was noted far and
wide for his wisdom.
After the farmer had sold bis
goods, he decided to get some ad-
vice from the lawyer. Upon q
piece of paper the lawyer wrote:
"Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today" For this lie
charged IS.
The farmer returned to his home
about two o'clock. He felt rather
tired after his journey.
The hay was laying in the field,
ready to be raked. At first the
farmer thought he would let it lay
until the next day. Then he
thought of the lawyers advice. He
gathered all the farm hands, and
they started to haul in the hay.
BY nightfall it was all safely stor-
Ell in the barn.
That night there was q heavy
rainstorm and flood. Many farm
srs who had not gathered in their
hay sustained heavy loss.
When the farmer thought how
much he had saved he decided the
lawyers advice had been cheap in
deed, and that he would follow it
ever afterwards Elk.

Acadia Parish Potatoes.
CROP RAISED AT CHURCH POINT
YIELDED $40 PER ACRE.


In speaking with Senator HON.
ar Barousse this week after the re-
turns for the car of potatoes had
been received. he stated that he
received over $40 per acre from
his crop, says the Church Point
Democrat. And that next year it
was his Intention to plant very
much larger acreage than he had
planted this year.
Mr.. Barousss planted about five
acres of the triumph potatoes this
year, and while it was his first at
tempt at raising potatoes in such
quantities, he is very we'll satisfied
with the result, and believes that
as the knowledge of the system of
potato culture is more thoroughly
learned and adopted a much larg.
er yield can be made than this
years crop gave. He received
over 70 bushels per acre, and sold
them for 81 a bushel.

How to live a hundred years: be

of your position in life, of your

health, and health means long life.
Don't rush through your business,
your pleasures, your meals, for to-

are doing tomorrow's work today,
tomorrow will have az much again

human, and ever since the world
began the one flaw in human con-
struction has been that We do get
sick aud wear out and die. Take
things slowly aud it will take long
