PsniisnilaRy.

Every day for three years, q youth
employed by q smelter 10 Colorado
stole 81 in gold.
He wanted to get married. The
girl understood. She helped him
guard his stsalings. They decided
that they needed $1,000 for . start
in married life.
Of course they got caught-iust
as they had gathered together the
sum. Now it ii q prison cell for the
youth and probably for the girl. for

which the gold vas taken, dollar BY

was worthy Of a better purpose.
1t is q sort OF courage that makes

men Of moderate talents to The

Suppose this youth and this girl

and had fought out The problem

buy and had fought out The problem
of living.
They might have saved that dol
lar a day, had they tried as persist
emily to save as they did to steal.
The girl might have had more
wrinkles. Perhaps she might have
been compelled to wear calico instead
of dreaming about silks.
She might have had to sacrifice
some Of the pretty things, might
have had to bear the pity Of friends
who would have told her she was q
fool for marrying a poor man.
But her eye would have sparkled
with pride as she went out at even
ing to meet an honest man, not a
thief. His embrace would have had
no inner tension Of fear and guilt.
And the end would have been a home,
not q prison cell.
And if any one believes that the
old adage honesty is the best policy
was written BY an old fogy for copy
let him look into the hopeless
eyes Of the youth and girl in their
prison.

TRIBUTE TO SCIENCE
death OF THREE
TINY ATOMS OF
HUMANITY.

Louisville. KY, Sept. l7.-As a re-
suit Of the death Of three babies On
exhibition in an incubator at the
State fair here, DR.. Douglas Snyder
Of Pittsburg, Pa, was arrested TO-
night at ~Jeffersonyille, Ind, Just
across the Ohio river. Twelve war
rants were sworn out late to-day by
County Attorney Bullitt Of Louisville,
charging a statutory ofense, and the
arrest was made by Corporal Wall
of Jacksonville.
DR.. Snyder stated that the babies
died because he was unable to give
them the proper attention while max
ing the trip from Chicago to Louis
vile. The babies, it is understood,
came from the Charity Hospital, in
St. Paul. They were on exhibition
four days, hence the twelve warrants,
lone for each baby for each day.
The deputy coroner found as a result
Of his investigation that the babies
died of inanition.
Mrs. Snyder, wife of the physician,
vas arrasted at the fair grounds in
-#@n
Louisville tonight, charged with be-
ing an accessory.
The baby incubator show at the
State Fair was ordered closed BY the
police last night.
This action followed the deaths of
two little waits who were brought TO
this city by a Chicago physician.
One Of the infants, Robert. was
weeks old and the other, Mar
tina, was four weeks of age. Both
died Of hamilton.
A third infant, Lucy, two weeks
old, is IN q serious condition, and it
is believed she viii also die.
Secretary Newman ordered the
current left on at the Fair
Grounds last night that the sick baby
might have sufficient warmth ii her
incubator.
The third baby died during the
morning, and a shot time later Col.
Scott Buliitt, county attorney, order
ed an Investigation into the matter,
with the result that Deputy Coroner
Hays will hold post norton. The
Humane Society has also taken the
matter up. The babies, it is UNDER
stood, were taken from an asylum in
st. Paul, MIMI, and the incubator
exhibit was a part Of q show COM
pany which goes from place to place
for the purpose of exhibiting.
Although the electric current at
the Fair Grounds was kept up during
last night, it was shut off the two
previous nights and the heat was
allowed to escape from the ineu-
bators.

Do o LIKE GOOD
BREAD?

Miss Fannie Merritt Farmer is q
firm believer ii good, wholesome, old.
fashioned bread, made in the right
way. But she thinks it is well to
have a variety even in this staple
article Of diet. and so her latest
demonstration in her School Of Cook
cry was on some fancy forms Of
bread.
The first she called Forest Hall
corn sticks. To make them, Miss
Farmer sifted together d cupful Of
corn meal, three.quarters cupful Of
-four, three teaspoonfuIs Of baking
powder and one-nalf teaspoonful Ct
salt; then added one-half cupful Of
hot boiled hominy grist, TO which was
added one-thifd cupful Of butter, one
cupfuI Of milk and one egg well
beaten. These were baked il buttered
stick pans.
This is the rule for quick mt loaf:
Nix and sift two eupfuls Of bread
-four, one-half cuDful Of sugar, four
tsaspoonfuls Of baking powder, and
work in three tablespoonful of but
ter and two tablespoonfuls Of lard;
then add one egg and one egg yolk
well beaten, one cupful Of milk and
one-half cupful Of walnuta cut in
pieces. Beat well, put ia buttered
bread-pan. let stand twenty minutes;
then bake in a moderate oven.
For coffee rolls: Add two table,
spoonfuls Of sugar and one-quarter
teaspoonful Of salt to sne-half cup
full of scalded milk when Iuke-Warm,
add one-half yeast cake dissolved in
lukewarm water and three-quarter
cupful OF water. Cover and LET rise;
then add four tablespoonfuls Of melted
butter. one egg well beaten, a few
gratings from lemon rind, and
enough -four to knead. Again let
rise, roll in long, rectangular pieces
one quarter inch thick, spread with
softened butter, and fold to make
three layers. Cut off pieces three
quarters inch vide, cover and let rise.
Take each piece separately and twist
from ends in opposite directions, coil
and bring ends in together at COP Of
roll. Let rise in pans and bake
twenty minutes in . moderate oven.
Cool and brush over with confection-
ers' sugar moistened with enough
boiling water to spread, and favored
With vanilla.

To the Editor Of The St. Landry
Clarion.
Dear Sir-I note in your valuable
paper Of September 10th, a publlca-
ton signed P. E. Singleton, appeal
ing to the people of the 9Th Police
Jury Ward of the Parish Of St, Lam
dry in regard to the payment Of the
per capita tax, which he claims is
now due for road purposes.
Whereas | admit that this tax IS
now due. and must admit that Mr..
Singleton has done a great deal to-
wards giving US good roads ID part
Of his ward, | win state, IS a close
observer for the past two years, bis
whole work has been continually on
the same roads, and in the eastern
portion Of bis ward,
The principal moneys for public
roads and highways, with the excep-
tion Of the one dollar per capita for
public roads. came from che western
portion Of the 9Th Police Jury Ward,
and we haven't got a road that one
could drive over in a hurry in day
light, and feel safe.
Now Mr.. Singleton IL asking CHS
same people to come again with their
one dollar per capita road tax,
which, he claims, is now due, and
this same people from the vest, as
we are called of late, must put our
hands again in our pockets and pay
our per capita one dollar, to build a
road somewhere in the sixth
ward, and al we have been paying
road taxes and that little per capita
one dollar, for several years for good
reads, and our roads still remain un-
worked and in many places one can
not stay in the supposed roads, On
account of washouts, holes and
roots. one does not feel so anxious to
have to pay out moneys for taxes,
to always build and fix his neighbors
road. | believe in being neigh
borly and helping each other; / be-.
lieve it is right to help each other;
but I do not think il is right for We !.
Of the west Gas We are Called
to have to hitch up our teams to our
~
buggies or wagons and have to poke ,
along some eight or ten miles to get
to a road before one can haul a load :
on or make q fast drive. 4
Mr.. Singleton says good roads ena-
bles our children to attend their public
schools and the farmers to haul off S
their crops to the nearest shipping 3
point. That, | admit, is d fact, and I
also admit that it is a fact that We {
people here in the western portion Of
he Sixth Police Jury Ward have no :
.oads TO haul our crops of Of our
children to go to school On.
Yet, Mr.. Singleton wants ], III :

4-YEAR-OLD CHILD is
A CIGARETTE FTEND

Portland.-A distressing case Of he
to the attention of Mrs. Lola F. Bald
win, superintendent of the depart
ment Of safety for girls, by the po-
lice, in complaint against Mrs. Jes-
sic Reynolds, who has been living at
the Morrison Hotel, East First and
East Morrison streets with Nicholas
Lown, disorderly character. well
known to the police. In looking into
the conduct of the woman, Mrs. Bald
win has discovered that she has an
infant daughter 4 years old, who
smokes cigarettes like a veteran The
child has become so accustomed to
the use of tobacco that If she is with
out 1t she becomes fretful and pee
wish.
Mrs Reynolds first came to the no.
tice of the police about two years
ago. Her husband created dis
turbance when he found Lown with
his wife. Lown drew a revolver to
protect himself and Reynolds jumped
out of second-story window: Sub
sequently Reynolds was sent to the
Salem penitentiary for larceny. Since
then his wife has been giving little
attention to the care of her children.
Mrs. Baldwin has been unable to
learn where the little one acquired
the habit of using tobacco. Lown and
the woman left as soon as they learn
ed that Mrs Baldwin was after them.
They have been traced to Seattle. The
authorities there will be asked to take
possession of the child.
