. GOOD ADVICE.

Don't monopolize the telephone for
trifling conversation. Some one may
want to say something important while
you are just passing the time talking to
a friend.
Do not tell gossip over the telephone
or any secret which concerns your friend
which she would not want repeated
Do not listen to a telephone CONVEX
sation not intended for your ears
Do not call business friend during
work hours. Your friend will want to
be polite, but your telephone can may
mean serious loss of time and some
times money. Besides, it is always an
annoying interruption to busy person.

PERSONAL MENTION.

Prof. Petty, principal of the public
school at Ida, was in town Friday con-
ferring with Superintendent Byrd about
his faculty to which a drawing teacher
has been adedd. Ida has one of the best
consolidated schools in the parish, being
the school precinct for eight small coun-
try schools. The consolidation of the
country schools has greatly increased
their efficiency. The isolated one room
school house with just anybody to teach
who could hold the school down" is
fast disappearing. The consolidated
school with the school van filled with
happy children marks the progress of

THE MOON FAIRIES.

There's million silver fairies
Dancing off to sea tonight,
AS | watch them from my window
How | envy them their flight.
Not care and not murmur,
As their dream lives drift along,
All the worlds to them moonbeam,
Just one laughing, silver song.
Over wave and hill and valley
Spread their soft and silent lights,
Peeping in through door and window
Truant, caressing, curious spiites.
Take me, little silver fairies.
OFF with you to see tonight;
Teach me how to love and frolic,
How to make the earth grow bright.
Let us dance away together,
To the oceans shining tune,
Bearing all the wolrd message
From the court of Lady Moon.

The Training School Request a Mite
from the Receivers of the Bonus Tax

The ladies, managers of the Shreve-

from each of the taxpayers when they
call at the office of the Comptroller to
collect the refund Of the tax they voted
in aid of the Clingman railroad. Some
of the amounts are small, but what lit
tie is donated will be appreciated. What
ever be the tax bonus, may be assigned
to the Training School through Comp
troller Rives, either by telephone or 9TH
erwise.
The Training School is most worthy
institution and is deserving the most
generous recognition from the people.

MAYOR BECKER TAKES

Answering a popular demand for

that paved streets may be sprinkleG
by levying a special assessment against
the abutting property, the board of
public works will pass a resolution to-
morrow morning to comply with this
demand in accordance with the state
law.
Mayor Lawrence Becker has just
returned from Indianapolis, where he
spent a day to acquaint himself with
the system that is being used there
He compiled a resolution and the neces-
airy specifications today in order that
they may be ready for the board to-

meeting of this morning open for that
purpose. Mayor Becker says that in

car companies, and the new order of
things will not effect these provisions.
1t is not within Mayor Beckers plans
at the present time to sprinkle the
brick pavements. These pavements are
not so dusty as a macadam pavement.
Indianapolis too eliminates the sprink-
ling from the brick streets.
In the matter of street sprinkling the
special assessment system is the most
equitable, as only those who receive
the benefits are called upon to pay the
cost Judging from Indianapolis con-
tract the one in Hammond will be
around that figure. Hammond has
quite number of macadam streets
where the sprinkling will help much to
save the streets and bring comfort to
the residents along the streets and help
keep their homes clean.
