A HOME FOR THE JUVENILE CRIMINALS.
Parish Police Jury Provides For
Immediate Erection 0fSuch
On Poor Farm Land.

One OF the wisest pieces OF work
that has been done by the Police Jury
for long time was transacted at
their regular meeting last week when
they provided for the immediate erec-
ton of a hone, or suitable place OF
detention for the juvenile criminals Of
of the parish. No other place being
available, it was provided that this
home should be erected upon the par
ish poor farm.
The matter was brought before the
police jury by Judge Overton, who ad,
dressed that body and stated, that,
due to the fact that the parish had no
place for the confinement of her juven-
lie criminals, the juvenile court law
was null and void, and actually served
to protect those under seventeen years
of age, in their criminalities. Further,
that the large increase in the number
OF crimes committed by this class o
criminals, during the past few months,
was conclusive evidence that the
youngsters were not only aware of
conditions, but were determined to
make the best use of them possible.
After some little consideration of
the subject, during which it developed
that member of the Jury had been
victim OF these depredations, the
above action was taken.
F. A. Arceneaux, police Juror OF
this ward, in a recent interview, stated
that it was the intention of the police
jury to have the work of erecting this
building begun at once.
Such a place of retention as this is
of the utmost Importance, not only as
protection for the citizens against
The depredations of the criminally in
clined youth of the parish, but for the
benefit of the youth themselves.

After.Lenten Wedding.


annals Of after-lenten nuptial cere-
monies, was the marriage OF the
Youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Todd, Miss Anna, to Mr.. Abel
Grafton, Wednesday evening, April
9Th, 1910, at the home Of the bride, IN
the presence of relatives and many
friends.
The parlor was beautifully decorat-
ed with cut flowers, sweet peas ano
roses predominating, while under an
arch of fragrant honeysuckle and the
usual wedding bell, the contracting
parties were made man and wife, the
ceremony being performed by Rev D..
A. Jetfers, pastor of the congrega-
tional church OF Welsh.
The bride was becomingly attired IN
gown of white taffeta silk, with yoke
of embroidery net, and sleeves OK
chiffon and chiffon lace, while the
bridal veil'of illusion, was fastened
with orange blossoms. Carving a
bouquet Of bridal roses, she entered
the room leaning upon the arm OF the
groom. At the conclusion of the GER
emory and standing beneath the arch
of fragrant flowers, surrounded by q
bevy of happy faces, the bride pre-
sented picture of charming beauty
and loneliness, as the large number
of guests showered her with their best
wishes, while the groom with his usual
becoming dignity, smiled at the hearty
congratulations accorded him.
After the usual formalities Of best
wishes and congratulations had been
observed, the bridal party and guests
sat down to wedding supper, which
in sumptuousness, delicacy of viands
AID appetizing arrangement, was in
keepn. with the we'll known hospital
ity of the parents of the bride. AS
soon as lue supper was over the
guests were shown the wedding gifts,
which were many and expressive of
high esteem in which the bride is held
by her many friends.
AT a late hour and amid many
hearty good wishes, the friends de-
parted for their homes while the
smiling faces of the bride and groom
betokened pleasure in such a large
circle of friends.
The bride is we'll known in this
community, having resided here for
fifteen years, and during that time
formed many acquaintances and friend
ships. Among this large circle of
friends she was lnstly popular and all
delight in the happy future before her.
Her removal from this community to
her new home near Manchester, La,
means distinct loss to these friends,
while decided gain to the social life
among the new acquaintance now to
be made.
The groom is a well-to-do industri-
Gus farmer, near Manchester, La,
and is esteemed by all who know him,
and counted eminently worthy of the
lady who has now become his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grafton will reside at
Manchester, but large circle of
friends at Welsh will gladly greet
them whenever they may visit this
place.

Footwork in baseball is one of the most necessary things. A man who handles his feet well, either batting heldlng or base running, is a good player. for footwOrk is better than ability with the hands. It is as neces sary for player to be shifty on his feet as 1t is for a boxer. No one can be shifty unless he Is on his toes all the time. and a flat-footed player is as pad as hat-headed one-and usually the two things go together
 The batter who is on his toes hal anced and ready for the jump will hit, for he can shift and swing and still get bis weight behind the hat The shifty runner on first is ready to move either way-to dive back to nrst or go on to second In the field he moves with the ball. and is movino when it is hit. so he covers more ground
 A young player starting in the busi. ness should watch every move of the batter, and poise himself for the start just as a sprinter does. I remember that one of the first things taught me after l joined the old Chicago club was starting, and the crowd of great players under Anson won many games because they started faster and were readier in seizing an opportunity than their opponents were. Another thing they taught me was sliding to bases not only so as to avoid being touched but also to avoid getting hurt or hurt. ing any one. That slide known as the Chicago slide" was the invention of Kelly and adopted by Burns. William. son, Pfeffer and the great players of that day. There Is more footwork to that slide than in any other depart. ment of the game. It consists in watching the position of the baseman who is receiving a thrown ball and throwing the body in the opposite di. rection, sliding on the hip with the leg partially bent under and the toe hooking the bag
