although enough out to prevent giving
exact figures, it is evident that Con-
gresham Pujo carried his district IN
the Tuesdays primary by from 1,5U
to 1000 votes over both his competl-
tors. Mr.. Puio developed an uneX-
pected amount Of strength all over
the district, while the weakness OF his
opponents was equally surprising IN
MANY instances to the rank and file OF
the voters. Mr.. PujO carried every
voting precinct in his home parish
eycept eight, all Of which cast but
small votes excepting DeRidder and
Oakdale, where Bailey received sub
stantial maiorities. From the report

is believed that Mr.. PujO Will carry
every parish excepting AVoVells where
Baiey's majority is estimated at 10,
and St. Landry's, where it is estimated
that Bailey has majority of about 40

WELSH SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY.
Full Corpse Of Teachers, Including
Three New Ones, will be in Charge.

Vacation DAYS are past and the
sound of the school bell will again be
heard in the land, and the busy work
will begin in earnest Monday morning.
The teachers, who have been spending |
t:.eir vacation according to their sew
eral fancies, and pocket books, are
again ready to take their respective
posts of duty and give the best or
their time, thought and energy for the
next nine months, to preparing the
youth of Welsh, more successfully to
cope with the great life duties, which
all too soon they must meet.
The Welsh faculty this year has
maintained it's customary increase OF
one new teacher each year, so that the
teaching force now consists OF nine
members instead of eight as it was
last year. The personnel of the fac
ulty, has undergone several changes
this wear, two of the old teachers haV-
inc resigned, and two new ones haV-
ing been appointed to fill their place,
while third new one has been added
to compensate for the increased en-
rollment of the schools, The corpse
of teachers will be as follows:
Superintendent, Prof. W. 2. Annette;
high school teachers, Miss Dora Glib
son, Mrs. W. ?. Annette and MISS
Mcdonald. The teachers Of the grades
will be Mrs. Jamie A. Wise, OF
Memphis, Tenn, one of the new teach
ers, who will have charge of the work
in the fifth and sixth grades; MISS
Ethel M. Ling, OF Valparaiso, lndl'
ana, who will have charge OF room
three: Miss Ruth McLees, OF Ruston'
who will divide the work of the thlrc
and fourth grades with Miss Ling
Miss Cecil Williams in room two, ane
Miss Jeanette Shaw in the primary
room.
The work of the old teachers here il
all the recommendation that is needed
for them, while the new teachers wh'
are strangers to Welsh, come mos
highly recommended, and will doNot
less do their part toward keeping tn
Welsh schools on the high plane o
efficiency to which they have beer
q raised.
The teachers are all in Lake Charlie

q is being held for the purpose OF allow

A clergyman. discoursing in Phila-
ielphia upon the important topic Of
Choosing . Husband" advised his
feminine hearers that they should
look askance At men who display fas-
tidious refinement and elegance in
their attire. He dwelt upon the rela-
lively greater Importance Of moral ex-
cellence over sartorial appearance.
That advice may be accepted By the
damsels Of his flock 20 far ~ II goes.
but the teacher Of youth may fall into
error in emphasizing too much the
superiority Of inward virtues to out
ward appearance. Assuredly. there is
nothing essentially praiseworthy in
slovenly attire. nor does viciousness
enjoy q, monopoly Of purple and Ane
linen. Those who claim to have souls
above the tailor. and who look upon
those who devote need Of attention
TO attire ~ prone to worldliness. may
profit by a little determination. 1t
may be that incidence ID one cause
OF their disregard Of Affairs sartorial.
Nothing can be more certain than
that shabbiness 10 not an external evil
dence Of inward superiority in either
intellect Or soul. The unkempt exte-
rior il not . sign Of inward grace or
stalwart mind. Cleanliness may be
next to godliness, but It fails to bear

THE times coming" remarked .
hoorwalker In one Of the big New
York stores, when umbrellas will be
relics Of the past. Automobiles are
knocking them out. don't mean BY
that that people buy automobiles to
ride in on rainy days instead Of carry
ing umbrellas. but It ID inconvenient
to carry an umbrella in an auto. and
autoists provide Themselves with
these light raincoats that can be used
even In warm weather, and the prac.
tice Of having raincoat handy In
stead Of An umbrella IL spreading all
the time. Thea manufacturers ars
now able to waterproof almost any
sort Of overcoat goods. and there isn't
much necessity for . man to own an
umbrella in overcoat weather. They
point out that in real drenching
storm an umbrella would not do much
good anyhow, and in . mild shower
one wouldn't get very wet anyhow.
There will stiil b use for umbrellas
for women. but even they are doing
without them more and more"
