COMPLIMENTARY, very
From the Natchitoches Times of March
IS, 1910.

In an editorial under the caption
That Campaign in referring to the
prohibitionists and to Statewide prohi-
bition, the Natchitoches Times of March
I8 says:
at has been discussed here to some
extent, and sub-rosa, it is understood
that set of lantern-jawed, sanctimon-
ious, pluperfect moralists and politicians
have held little meeting in Shreveport
or somewhere and discussed the plan of
setting Statewide campaign agoing,
provided some saint of the John D..
Rochfellow stripe could be divided from
a million or two for Doodle funds to
conduct the campaign.
1T will be remembered that during
the legislative session of 1908 there was
talk of Statewide prohibition legisla-
ton, but the promoters thought it best
not to spring in at that time Oh no |!
1t was too long before the next election.
Of course, if we have any such thing,
those who give us the blessing should
have their reward, don't you know.
Then, too, we must be sure to have
State wide officers to enforce our State
wide laws. Yes, 1908 was too early. We
must have the thing come off in 1910,
so things will be ripe, juicy, fine and
sweet for the I0I1-I912 campaign.
Talk about your wolves going about
in sleeps clothing, we will set it to a
disgusting extent if this hybrid religio-
political campaign is sprung in this
State

all these or any part of these needs may
be obtained is at Selber Brothers, corner
Texas and Edwards streets, the popular

the assurance of courtesy, the painstak-
ing effort to please every one who fav-
ors them with a call. 1t should follow,
therefore, that with such inducements
no further argument is necessary, and
huffice it to say that if the best for the

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.


The shamrock was the boutonniere
decoration of our Irish friends on St.
Patricks Day, March 18TH Among the
loyal sons of Erin the day was ever Gel
ebrated even in the days when they
were killing men and women for the
wearing of the green" But even Eng
today, and with the seal and the ap-
proval from the King of Great Britain,
it is noted by the fashionable world.
The celebration of St. Patrick's Day
in America dates back to the settlement
of Maryland, when the colonists of Lord
Baltimore remembered it on their plan
tations In other colonies little bands of
Irishmen gathered on ST. Patrick's night
to drink and feast. When the Continen-
tai Army was in rags and on the verge
of starvation Washington recognized the
significance of the day to those who
served under him and ordered punch
served at his expense. This is one Of
the dearest traditions which Irich
Americans have handed down to their
posterity The holding of banquet by
the men of St. Patrick's is time honored
On that occasion as well as other cele-
brations the banner of United ireland,
the green field with the harp of gold, al
ways figures conspicuously with the red
white and blue of the American flag.

IN MFMORIAM.

The passing away of sweet Nancy
Landrum came with springs early bios
SONS, when lilies had opened their
snowy caps and violets empurpled the
brown sward. 1t is easy to think that
this young life has simply passed into a
higher state of being, that she is of the
company of the choir invisible about
the great white throne" Grief there is
in our hearts, not for her but for the
desolate mother and brother whose
souls longing must be "for the touch of
a vanished hand and the sound of a
voice that is still" The golden link that
bound her life to theirs is broken, but
comfort there must be in the thought
that she is safe from sorrow and sick
ness, from the inevitable pain and dis
appointment that long life brings even
to the most fortunate ones of earth.
Nancy Landrum was the only daugh-
ter of Mrs. Kate Boney Landrum and
the late Samuel Landrum, a scholar and
a gentleman by nature and inheritance.
Her grandfather was the Hon. ]. NJ
Landrun, who represented the Fourth
Congressional District at the time of his
death. The heritage of gentle birth was
hers, the token Of which was seen daily
in her modest bearing and unfailing
kindness to all. An only daughter, how
tender the tie between mother and
daughter, the most sacred and sweetest
of the hearts affections. Pure in
thought as the lilies that lay on her cas-
ket, modest as the violets that perfumed
the air that sad day when she lay in
her last sleep-Such she was to all who
knew her
In the family burying ground at Oak
land cemetery she was laid to rest.
Sweet will be the memory of this
young life that passed out like the fad
ing of flower A FRIEND.

HALEY AND HIS COMET.

On May I8, 1910, the earth was
plunged into the tail of Halleys Comet,
and the possible evil that might accrue
still hangs over Our planet. There was
historical record of comet in 1880, as
well as 1905, for which reason, Haley,
who had been friend and active asso-
ciate of Newton, concluded that all
these comets were really different ap-
pearances of the same body, which
moved around the sun in an elongated
ellipse in period of about rs or 76
years. He earnestly explained the vary
Irg intervals between two appearances
by planetary acceferation and retarda-
ton, and proceeded boldly to predict the
temperance of the comet in 1883. Past
the prime of life when he uttered the
prophecy he pathetically addressed a
patriotic plea to his countrymen that
read: Wherefore, if according to what
we have already said, it should return
again about the year 1853, candid poster
ity will not refuse to acknowledge that
this was first discovered by an English
man. On Christmas day 1888, in the
year announced, a half century before
by Haley, the comet was actually dis
covered by George Palitzsch of Saxony.
A great astronomical prophecy was full
filled, and new member was added to
the solar system. The erratic and fear
inspiring comet was brought into har-
mony with other members of the solar
system, and subjected to the funda-
mental calculations of the astronomer
In 1885 Halley's Comet reappeared and
passed through its perihelion within a
few days of the time set for it by the
astronomers On September II, 1909, it
was discovered ON photograph plates by
DR. Max Wolf, of Heidelberg, long be-
fore it attained telescope visibility And
now the whole scientific world is look
ing for the temperance of this magnii-
cent sky wanderer.-Progress Maya
