Two Lono Golf pr;,ss

Two golf players determined to pIay
match by moonlight The antago-
nists were in every respect worthy of
each other. and as the match proceed
ed fortune did not appear to incline on
either side. At last they came to a
long hole. and to each it occurred at
the same time that a critical moment
had been reached and that it was nee
essary to adopt heroic measures. They
drove of two long balls, which to the
eyes Of the ordinary spectators ap-
peared to vanish into night. far be-
yond all human powers. Of vision to
follow.
But each of the combatants declared
that he saw perfectly where his ball
had gone. and they walked off with
unfaltering steps in the direction of
the hole. When they had gone about
1S0 yards neither began TO show any
signs of indicating that ne had reach
ed the place where he expected to find
his ball. Both went on with unhesitat-
ing stride. at last when they got to
the putting green. some hundred yards
or so beyond the longest recorded
drive, both balls were found living |
within clubs length of the hole. |
Each player had arranged to drop a |
ball through a hole in his trousers |
pocket.

Jan. son Of father killed in the
mines. was aged fourteen. He was n
sensitive child who read books he.
yond bis years and passionately loved
music.
But Jan was the man of the family
ct fourteen.
The morning of the awful fire in the
mines Jan was in bed sick, and the
doctor said he must stay. but he
knew the rent was just due.
SO the brave little fellow pinched
his thin lips together and went to the
SHAFT, the miners lamp lighting I'D his
pale little face and his poor lunch in
his little tin bucket.

IMPORTANT SUIT
An Effort to Restrain the President Of
the Police Jury and President of the
School Board.

A petition for an Injunction, signe,
by I. Luchini, William M. Smell an,
). b. Simon, was filed today in tn,
clerks office. In brief, its object is tt
restrain the president of the Police
jury and the president of the School
Board from further proceeding in the
payment of money as rewards for the
conviction of sellers of booze in Caddo
parish.
In the usual verbiage involving the
inal1enable rights guaranteed BY the
Constitution, and ct ceteras, the plant
OF the petitioners is recited.
AS it may not be generally known
1t should be stated that there is an
agreement between the School Board
and the Police Jury as to the amount of
rewards to be paid on the conviction of
violators of the prohibition law from
the fines which are paid over to the
School Board.
Without 1ndulging in review of the
petition, which is lengthy, or of the in
tent of the compliments, the opinion of |
the Caucasian is that is is "a much ado
about nothing" and will not ACCOMPLISH
the purpose in view, which is to dis
courage the prosecution of violators of
the prohibition law by annul1ing the re-
wards offered on the conviction of the
law breakers.
HE HAS SAID IT. i
AT last Governor Sanders has said it, 7:
not exactly in the words as suggested
by the Caucasian, but in terms no less
positive, for which he should receive I
he fullest consideration. s
In defining his attitude as to Article +
9 OF the State Constitution, which 4
ONE politicians would have amended s
n eliminated, as it restrict the Gov
rnor to one term of four years and an
1terim OF four years before he can be b
collected, Governor Sanders has de o

'sed amendment of Article g. should te

There was one building appro-

parent lack of funds in the state

has been released and the plans
are now being drawn and the
contract will be let for the erec-

in which our management is
