January II, 1910, Ards Mills, aged 20
years. Into that home made glad by the
presence of his young life had come the
unwelcome messenger There was a
white casket and still form, sorrow
and silence everywhere. Bowed in grief
sat the beloved mother and brother, and
the uncle who had been father and
friend to the dear boy they mourned.
Friends came in fearful sympathy to the
grief stricken home
1t seemed mete and right that the
farewell should take place in the early
morning, before the duties and burden
of the day had taken hold upon the
mind. The rain was over and gone, birds
sang in the air, message, it seemed, of
Gods love-a call from the heavens to
look beyond this affection to the time
coming when there will be neither tears
nor parting nor any sorrow.
Then the minister of God spoke
words of consolation. In that glad sweet
day, he said, great light will break
upon us and we will see clearly and I'M
derstand the divine purpose of suffering.
Tenderly he spoke # the dear boy, of
his brief happy life, of the grief of his
loved ones. and babe them be conforted
with the same faith and hope that had
sustained the beloved grandfather and
was exemplifed in his life-tried and
true Christian soldier that he was
Ards Mills was the second son of
Mrs. Pennis Ards Mills and the late
George H. Mills. A nature kind and
true, full of noble impulses, generous to

of his people, would have blossomed in
his life, but God called him, and his
days were ended on earth before the
promise of his manhood was fulfilled.

And flowers to wither at the north

A special train conveyed the family
and friends TO Minden where he was
laid at rest. Funeral services at the
grave were conducted by DR. SumrelR Of
this city, ana closed with feryent
prayer for consolation of the bereaved
by the Rev. M. Means of Minden.
Then loving hands placed the floral of
ferings, so many and SO beautiful, on
the new babe grave Of the boy they
loved, and left him with the blessed
dead and with God.

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, the new SUI
perintendent of the Chicago public
schools, has inaugurated trade
school" among other helpful things she
has done for the good of the children
of that great city The idea of this
school is to encourage and allow boys,
above the compulsory school age, to
continue their studies. To further this
end Mrs. Young has arranged plan
whereby boy may work and study al
ternate weeks Two weeks according to
her plan-are to be devoted to attend
ance at school, and the alternate two
weeks to work in factories and business
houses at a salary of IS cents day, the
object being that the ambitious boy is
thus made self-supporting Already sew
eral of the Chicago manufacturing and
business houses have taken kindly to
this plan and it is expected that the ben
.efits to be derived from it will be far
reaching in scope.
A hobby of Mrs. Youngs and one to-
ward which she is striving, is the edit
cation of the young women of the
schools in household science She main
tains that the thorough knowledge of
household art is as important in the life
of girl as the acquiring of similar
knowledge in technical and mechanical
subjects to the boy And she believes,
further that the fulfllment of this plan
will have a direct bearing on the health
and happiness of the home-The Pro-

BEREAVFD.

In the death of Mr. James J. Jefries,
which occurred at his home in this city
Tuesday night, Shreveport suffers the
loss of a man widely known for his
stainless charaeter-one honored and
esteemed by his fellowrnen- and the
community is poorer in the lofty
thought of its citizenship To those who
had the privilege of his friendship, the
sense Of personal loss is great-and to
the beloved wife, his life partner and
sharer Of his innost thoughts, the sep
aration is grievous beyond expression.
The Honorable James Jeffries was a
man among men In the crises of his
States history-tin1es that tried mems
souls, we see him, not self-seeking, but
calm, updigllt, the fearless, the good
citizen, whose sole aim was the re-
Mobilization Of his beloved Southland.
a lover of books, his mind was richly
stored with the highest and finest fruits
OF culture. The fresh touch. the new
point of view, the broader thought
which characterized his conversation
made social intersource with him de
lightful, and in the charmed circle of his
hospitable home, his royal nature was
fully appreciated.
Persistent belief in the aii-encircline
good, he drew to him only that which
was good and best in humankind

1910 Again has the message of be-
reavement come that fills our hearts
with sorrow, and the tears of sympathy
fall for the grief stricken mother and
little son, the brothers and all who
loved him. Of Spartan mould, so sim
ply and quietly did he live his life, that
few knew the deep springs, the sweet
ness of his being A soldiers nerve and
and womans gentleness-
such he was, even from his youth up.
When grave business matters fell upon
him after the death of his father, he
came into the place of responsibility
and devoted himself to the discharge of
his new duties with capable readiness,
and remarkable grasp of affairs.
Nothing swerved him from the path of
duty. His marriage to lovely Margue-
rite Grain was blessed with happiness,
and when the great silence fell on her,
his only love, the mother of his infant
bay, he was stricken to the heart, but
submission to Gods will was his creed,
and he lifted himself from his sorrow
and went forth to duty's cali
Jacob F1avel Foster was the second
son of Mrs Eunice Burrus Foster, and
the late Claiborne J. Foster He inner
tied nobility of character and every
Christian virtue. Through his trying
illness he was comforted by mothers
love and devotion, the presence of his
precious boy and the tenderness of 9TH
ers dear to him. In the prime of his
manhood and usefulness he was taken,
and hearts are aching becaus he has
gone from earth

FRANCHISE ISSUE
Continued from first page }

if this action is illegal, it has purpose
fixed, in the defeat of which all citizens
should join. As already explained, the
referendum, as proposed, is struggled.
All the Traction men want is a pretext
to warrant their giving away valuable
concession which should be preserved,
and for which a pittance is offered.
THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN.
In proceedings so extraordinary the
citizen must assert himself. He should
not through apathy or indifference per-
init the Traction men to carry out their
design. On the day of the election the
Traction Company will see that all its
friends and all its connections and all
those that can be influenced shall go to
the polls and vote for their proposition.
Their reliance is on the failure of the
good citizen to come out and file his
protest against such unwarranted pro-
ceedings. The good citizen who is con-
cerned in the welfare of the city and of
the people, who is disinclined to favor
injustice, urfairness and grasping greed,
and who would stand for the right,
should go to the polls and vote against
the proposition.
In defeating this scheme of the Trac-
ton men there is much to be gained and
nothing to lose
The gain lies in the almost certainty
of the city securing general transfers
for all the people without their giving
away valuable concessions for pit
lance. And the legal decision, which
the Traction Company is striving to
avoid, will be reached within a few
months, and not in fifteen years as was
proclaimed in the Council meeting by
one of the champions of this scheme
VOTE AGAINST THE SCHEME

GoRDoNs TRIBUTE TO LEE.

In General John B. Gordon's 'Remi-
niscences of the Civil War" the closing
chapter is devoted to an estimate of the
elements of greatness in the South's
leaders. Of the several tributes to
Robert E. Lee, the following is one OF
the most beautiful: THE ancient Rom
ans and Greeks defed after death their
heroes who possessed any one of the
great virtues, ali of which were har-
moniouslB blended in this great South
erner. 1t required, however, neither his
removal by death nor the hallowing in
fuences of distance or time to consign
him to the Pantheon of ImmortaIs. II
was more literally true of him than of
any man | ever knew, among those
whom the world honors, that distance
was not needed to enhance his great
ness
Through that crucial test at Apo
mattox Lee was the impersonation OF
every manly virtue-of all that is great
and true and brave-the fttest represen-
tative of his own sublimeIy beautiful
adage that human virtue should always
equal human calamity.

Tread softly soldiers,
Reverent silence keep!
Down the line pass on the whisper

One hand upon his sword,

For flowers their vigils keep
And crowned him, though | think the

road and quickly fell asleep. Soon

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
BY U. s. SUPREME CoUhT

In the case of the Hickey Lana ana
Cattle company against Miller q Lux,
a copy of the recet decision by the
United States supreme court, has been
received. The decision is OF especiai
interest and Importance in that It re-
establishes the sovereignty OF states In
the matter of water rights in streams
that cross state lines. On this account
the decision is likely to be the cause
of an action by the state OF Nevada
against the state of California to allow
Nevada a portion of the waters OF an
streams that rise in the mountains OF OF
California and flow into Nevada. IL
Is believed that California will not be
slow to enact laws governing the water
of the interstate streams. According
10 the supreme court decision, the case
NAV be tried either in Nevada or IN
California, but the state in which the
water rises. Miller & Lux instituted
this suit owners of large area OF iand
along the Walker river in Nevada
against Hickey Land and Cattle com
nanv. owners of large acreage along
the same river in California, to de
termine water rights.
