and play. Then came the fun In
relieving the two large trees of their

all kinds of clothing and a table
loaded with boxes and dishes that
could not be hung on the tree. After
that was over generous treat of APP

their trip in the good time they had

QUEEN MARY OF ENGLAND
A Charming Woman of Lovable Char
acter and Sound Common Sense.

London, May o.--No estimate of the
new Kings future is complete without
considering the influence of his wife
he new Queen is undoubtedly one OF
the cleverest and most practical women
among the royalties Of Europe, and
many people predict her part in shaping
the course of the new reign will be al
most as important as the Kings.
Her influence will be seen in many
ways i'll the future. A single glance is
sufficient to convince one of her strong,
sclf-reliant character. Her frank eyes
and determined chin proclaim a person
ality accustomed to make itself felt at
all times and i'll all places. Her sound
common sense and unfaiIing tact give
her ali undottbted charm and have ac-
counted for her undoubted popularity
She is by no means beautiful and has
never followed the example of Alexan-
dra III spending hours Of time and large
Sums of money i'll trying to look perpet-
TALLY youthful. She looks comfortable
British matron, who is too busy looking
after her babies to waste time in frivol-
tiles. She is absolutely unaffected and
retiring, like her husband, and has been
compared with Mrs Roosevelt in her
desire to avoid smart society Her in
fiuence over her husband is unbounded.
If a difference of opinion arises be-
tween the King and Queen of any inn
pertant matter, it is considered safe
assumption that unless the King mate
rally alters his former habits, the
Queens view will prevail
In one particular, at least, il is abso-
lutely certain that Queen Mary will rule
the English court with a rod of iron
It will be staid and decorous court
Many of the interesting personalities
that have figured so largely in the col
umns of the American newspapers for
jears as friends of the late monarch
have gone forever. There will be vast
reorganization of the social fabric, so
far as royal patronage is concerned.
Certain women, heretofore prominent
in all court events, will retire to the
background Certain wealthy fnanciers.
who were intimate friends of Edward,
will find the doors of Buckingham
closed. George, as well as Mary, detests
many of the personages who were inti-
mate associates of the former King.
Their eclipse is certain.
The rigorous house cleaning which
seems inevitable TO the court already
causes. dismal foregodings in so-cal1ed

fears that he court will lapse into mid
Victorian gloom Of propriety.

SENATOR BARRFT

Senator Barret is already active and
being mindful of his constituency will
submit a bill for the donation by the
State to the city of Shreveport what is
known as Cross Lake for the use of the
city for the storage of water. If it be
not possible to secure a direct donation,
the transfer is to be made on the most
advantageous terms for the city
This water supply is of the greatest
Importance, and it must be secured for
the city
1t is believed, and there are indica-
tions which would confirm the belief,
that certain interests are striving to Sc
cure the Cross Lake lands, and should
they be successful, Shreveport would
then be at the greatest disadvantage in
connection with its water supply.
It is the intention of Senator Barret
to secure, if possible, change in the
date of the Legislature from May to
January. This proposed change should
meet with the favor of the majority of
the legislators, since the greater number
of representatives are from the parishes,
and in May and June are drawn from
home to the neglect of their agricultural

PROHIBITION QUESTION
Prohibitionists Are Not of One Mind as
to a Plan of Campaign

New Orleans States: The session of
the Legislature opens with the prohibit
ton question infinitely less acute than
at one time it promised to be and there
is evidence that since 1908, when prohi-
bition polled over fifty votes in fhe
lower house, the local option principle
has grown in strength. Some of the
men who are prohibitionists at home
and who were for statewide referen-
DUN then are now letting their friends
know that they will not vote to force
prohibition on communities which may
not desire it. There is reported to be a
split to that extent in the old prohibition
forces. The Rev Mr. Smiley, head of
the State Anti-Saloon League, who is
to open headquarters here, is to make a
fight, it is said, for straight out prohi-
bition, while the other side will stand
for the local option principle.
