Some Random Shots.

The Emporia (Texas) Gazette breaks
into rhyme to tell some very wholesome
truths:
81 shot an arrow into the air, it fell in
the distance, | knew not where, till a
neighbor said that | killed his calf, and i
had to pay him six and half (S6.50.) !
bought some poison to Stay some rats, and
a neighbor swore it killed her cats; and,
rather than argue across the fence, | paid
her four dollars and fifty cents (4.5O.
One night | set sailing a toy balloon, and
hoped it would soar till it reached the
moon; but the candle fell out on farm
er's straw, and he said I must settle or GO
to law. And that is the way with the
random shot, it never hits in the proper
spot, and the joke you spring that you
think SO smart, may make a wound in
some fellows heart"

Bossier Midshipman Good Rifle Shot.

The Baltimore (Md.) Sun one of our
exchanges, gives an extended notice of
the intercollegiate track meet recently
held in that city: in which the midshipmen
from the U. s. Naval Academy took part,
and from which we excerpt the following
paragraph:
1.-The National Guard of the District Of
Columbia gave the Mddies a pretty big
scare in the rifle contest. The Guardsmen
were one point to the good when the firing
was completed, but they fell down badly in
the rapid fire, losing in that contest by SO
points, thus giving the Midshipmen the
victory by the comfortable margin of 81
points. The comparative total scores were
Navy, 1908; Guardsmen, 2,OO1. The
shooting was at ranges of 200, 600 and
LOCO yards slow and 200 yards rapid fire
There was no skirmish run. Midshipman
Zeigler was high gun for the days shoot
ing, with a score of 184.''
The reporter has reference to Midship-
man Sam Zeigler of this parish, a son Of
Mr.. S. j. Zeigler, now resident Of
Shreveport.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. June h. Secre-
tary Of State Knox sounded the key note
OF American diplomacy under the present
administration in his speech to-day at
the commencement exercises at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania.
Secretary Knox set forth what had been
accomplished under previous administra-
tons and pointed out how. under President
Taft the traditional foreign policy Of the
United states was so established and had
been carried TO greater lengths. The pre-
dominant note of American diplomacy ac-
cording to Secretary Knox. is the promo
ton of peace by arbitratioa-both by the
adoption OF this method in the settlement
OF existing disputes. and by taking the
lead in the movement for charging the
powers of the International Court at the
Hague
In this latter connection. Secretary Knox
made the significant statement that the
foreign powers had gone so far in indi-
eating informally their approval of his
plans for establishing an international
court of arbltral justice that the success
Of this enterprise was practicallyyassured.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Allow me a space in your your val-
liable paper Go explain to the public
the meaning of the word scouring-it
is ordinarily understood that securing
means to rub with a stiff brush the
article to be secured using soap and
water. If used on a hard substance
it will result only in rubbing down and
gradually wearing away, If on a soft
article like wooden or silk goods Il
ruffles it, stiffens and loosens the
threads and breaks many strands
and while for the moment the article
looks good. as soon as the stiffness is
gone the article shows a nabbiness
and looseness that makes it look worn
and it in fact shortens its life for
good wear. For many years and up to
the present time this has been and
still Is the system used by all scourers.
The Re-nu-it system has changed
all this In this city I am the exclu-
sive owner of the Re-nu-it cleaning
process.
This mode Of cleaning wooden and
silk goods is new. the process was
founded by one Of the greatest chem
lists. 1t Is absolutely sanitary: it leaves
the article like new No rubbing, the
threads remain untouched. No scrub
bling being used the article is renewed.
You cannot tell by this process that
the suit has been cleaned. it remains
just as soft and new looking inside
and out as the day you bought it,
That is the result of improved meth
