Along the road OF sorrow
All the faircSt roses bloom
Ana It's there the glad tomorrow
Smiles a welcome through tho
gloom.
On the road OF Heart-ache only
Can you find the way 70 rest.
All the other paths are lonely.
But the road Of Grief is blest.
1t is there you find the sweetness
or a gentle mothers love.
In ITS tullneSs and completeness
Such as others know nOt of:
1t is there that smiles are bripbtast
IL is there that hearts are true.
II Is there that eyes are lightest
they have wept in sorrow, too.
IL is there words are consoling
And the pressure of a hand
Has a way beyond controlling.
For II makes you understand
That the brother who comes CHEERING
Knows the meaning of your woe.
Ihough his skies, perhaps are clearing.
He has suffered what you know.
Yes, along the road of sorrow
There the fairest roses sway.
And the brave heart seeks the morrow
AS brighter, better day.
IL is there you find believing
And the trueSt comfort known.
For, along the road of grieving
No one ever plOds alone.

Sympathy Withheld.

The adroit man who ventures
into matrimony always does so
with bis eyes open. He has heard
the heart-breaking stories OF his
married friends; he has been fav-
ored with the solemn warnings of
widowers, sod and grass, and his
bachelor well-wishers have exhor-
ted him eloquently. When, de-
spite all these efforts to save him,
he yields to hypnotic advances of
some scheming widow or match
making mamma and permits him
self to be lured up the Aisle of
Sighs to the cacophonous music of
"Lohengrin' and with a high col
lar around his neck and tight
shoes upon his feet in such event
all sympathy for the fellow be-
comes a Kissing and a mocking.
As we'll pity the wine-bibber who
complains Of wounds. or the yokel
who raises a cry of treachery when
the adroit thimble-rigger rakes in
his hoard. - Baltimore Sun.

School Middle.
Evangeline Banner.

Evangellne Banner.
The school mudde of Kentwood
shows plainly how deficient the
school laws of Louisiana are.
There is but one solution to this
problem. That is put all appli-
cants for teaching on the same foot
ing. Require Normalites as we'll
as all others to stand an examina-
ton. Let the examining board
consist of strangers entirely. Let
the examining board of Lafayette
do the st. Landry work and tho
st. Landry board do the Lafayette
work aud SO on, there will be no
pets. In the selection of teachers
religious creed should cut no ice.
If Louisiana had to supply her
schools with home product (teach-
ers) we would be in a darn bad
boat. Today the majority OF teach
ers in our schools are from Tenn
essee and other states and are al
ways found competent. Some come
from Vanderbuilt and others noted
Universities much more noted
then our dear Normal and are not
recognized, but have to 20 through
red tape examination. In fact
the examination of teachers is
farsical.
