the Doorkeeper for I
Moment.

Gussie was knock-kneed, angular
and round-shouldered. He had a ter
rible sQuint, and mouth like steam
roller. All the same, he reckoned on
making something Of hit at the
fancy dress ball, and his costume was
as elegant as his figure was un-
lovely.
With fast beating heart he stepped
jauntily from his automobile outside
the town hall, where the ball was be-
ing held. The hall porter stepped back
ward at the unsightly apparition.
Great Christopher Columbus!" he
gasped as he regarded Gussie.
mo, no, my good mani" chirped
Gussie. as he tripped through the por-
tails. "Chawles the First, my dear fel-
low-Chawles the Ffrst!"-London An

Tensas gazette., 1910-04-22

The schedule for the Unbound
NJ, H. & l.. read was altered this
week, and the change is not to the
liking of our people by any means.
Under the former timetable the
South-bound passenger reached st.
Joseph at 2:25 p. M, which was a
very convenient hour, and gave ev-
cry one ample time for dinner be-
fore leaving. The change that went
into effect this week puts the pas
senger here at 1851 p. m, Almost
too early to get diDner here and too
late to get it any where else. But
this is not the greatest worry. Ar
irving at Ferriday about 2:22, the
weary passenger is confronted with
the delightful wait of nearly two
hours, or until the coming of the
4:1O D. m. N. o. & n. w. passen-
ger to carry him on his journey to
Vidalia or Natchez.
The reason assigned by the road
for this change, which works so
greatly to our disadvantage, discom-
fort and inconvenience, is that bet
ter service might be given the pa:-
rons above Tallulah, who wish to
make quick connection with the
ILLS East bound ", S. & P. for
Vicksburg and other points East.
This schedule will no doubt make
for their convenience, but will work
undue hardship on house-keepers in
this section who must prepare din
ner before noon for prospective pas
sengers, and for the latter who must
endure the weary wait at the ter
minal of the road before arrival OF
the welcome Windy"
Unless the road decides to run
on into Vidalia, some enterpris-
ing person will no doubt put in an
automobile line between Ferriday
and Vidalia, which will certainly
do land office" business, until
the road realizes its mistake anc
either decides to run into Vidalis
or return to the former schedule

Resort Of the Grand IuFy.

To the Honorable John s. Boatner,
Judge of the Tenth Judicial District
Court of Louisiana, in and for the
= Parish of Tensas:
Your Grand Jury, duly impanelled for
the April term of this Honorable Court,
having completed their labors, beg leave
to report as follows:
We have examined into all such mat
tars as have been brought to our atten-
ton, and we have presented fifteen true
bills. We have examined the public
buildings, and find them well kept and
in good condition.
We desire to congratulate this Honor
able Court and the people of this parish
upon the prevalence of law and order
throughout this jurisdiction; there being
very little crime of serious nature called
to our attention, or of which We could
learn after most diligent inquiry.
As a body, we desire to express our
appreciation of the system of road work.
ing now in operation in this parish, and
to express our satisfaction at the excel
lent results attained at such places as the
road machine has been able to reach.
We realize that, owing to the large mile
age of public roads in this parish, and to
the fact that this work, to be properly
done, is necessarily slow, there are many
portions of the parish wherein the roads
have not yet been worked. We urge,
however, a continuance of this system,
| in the belief that within a reasonable
time all the roads of this parish will have
been worked, We urge, however, u con-
tinuance OF this system, in the belief that
within reason able time all ths roads OF
the parish will have been worked. We
urge upon the Police Jurors OF the sew
eral wards in this parish that they super
wise and direct the work done by the road
outfit when in their ward. And we furth'
er urge upon the members of the. Police
Jury that where road has been worked
and put in good order, it be maintained
by the early reparation of ths damagt
which may be done by heavy rains ol
other natural causes by the use OF split
log dfags, -s,
Respectfully submitted,

As to Posshing on Preserves Of Lake
St. Joseph Hunting Club.

To Thes, Whom 1t May Concern.
As me nber Of the Lake st. Joseph
Hunting Club, l have a fow facts wish
to state and some suggestions to make.
As every one knows our CLUB was or
ganized for the pleasure of sportsmen,
and as there were expenses to be met,
we placed a taxation on all members.
This, however, is so smaii that it is
within the reach of all.
We extended an invitation to all to
join. This was ignored by many, who
seem to think it beat to enjoy the har-
v,st that others have sown.
The Club has beel at great expense
building our Lodge and improving the
grounds, and it doesn't seem exactly fair
thit those who pay and those who do
not pay should enjoy the same privileges.
All this season such as have no rights
whatever have monop)lized everything.
keeping the members out OF the woods
and out OF Lodge.
At ore time the Club decided to report
all such tresplssers to the Grand Jury,
but upon further consideration we thought
best not to take this step, but gave them
another chance to do what is just and
fair
Be 1t plainly underatood, however, that
from now on, all parties who intru1e on
Club rights will be dealt with as the law
shall see fit.
We will not only object to hunting on
our grounds, but in future no seining for
profit will be allowed in the waters that
fall under the Clubs jurisdiction.

TO PUSH PUBLICITY BILL
President Will Make Passage by
Present Congress an Issue.

Washington. June 20-President Taft de-
cided to-day to make an issue of the pas
sage by Congress before the adjournment
of the present session Of the bill provid-
ing for the publicity of campaign contri-
buttons in all campaigns affecting federal
Offices.
The President sent for party leaders in
both the House and Senate and told them
his views regarding this piece of legisla-
ton Mr. Taft said that he had made a
personal pledge during the last Presiden-
tial campaign to do what he could further
ing the enactment of a publicity bill.
The President had hesitated to add this
gress was devoting itself to those measures
tc which the party had definitely com
rnitted itself in its platform. Now that the
programme is practically completed. he
has decided TO bring all Of his influence to
bear in behalf of the publicity bill.
Mr. Taft took Senator Burrows. of
Michigan, for a long automobile ride yes
terday Mr. Burrows is chairman Of the
senate Committee on Elections When he
and the President parted 1t was with the
understanding that the campaign publicity
bill would soon be called up. To-day the
President secured the consent of Senator
Brandegee to lay aside temporarily the
forest reserve bill, in order
that the publicity bill might be given the
right of way as the unfinished business in
the Senate following the disposition of
the postal savings bank bill. The Presi-
dent does not expect any serious trouble in
getting the bill through the House.

DEFICIENCY BILL REPORTED
Senate Receives Last of Annual
Supply Measures.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. June 20-The last of the
annual supply measures, the general de-
ficiency bill, was favorably reported to the
Senate to-day. Senator Hale and his col
leagues on the Appropriations Committee

il was received from the House The total
amount carried in the bill is $7,945,0n eS, an
increase of 8, ,6s2. .345 II over the bill as 1t
passed the House.
At the instance Of Senator Hale the
House approprtation of $4,000 for over
hauling and repairing the Dewey drydock.
now at O1ongapo, Philippine Islands, was
stricken from the bill. Inasmuch as the
drvdock sank few days ago and the re-
nairs are regarded as essential. it is proba-
hle the House conferrees will make a de-
tarroined effort to retain this appropria-
ton.
II is nrobahle there will be some criti
cisrn of the amendments granting extra
conopensatfon to Senate employees. These
amendments aggregate more than $4,000.

nriation bill. appears in the deficiency bill
in a new form, the sergeant-at-arms being
authorized TO pay a yearly salary of $500
for an attendant in charge of bathing
rooms in the Senate office building"
Provision is made authorizing those
changes in bookkeeping in connection with
the navy general fund which Secretary
Never has so strongly advocated. These
changes were based on the recommended
tIons of an expert accountant.
Among the appropriations for the light
house service are three items of special
interest to New York. One appropriates
q ooo for establishing a light and fog sig
nal station at Hunts Point, between He'll
cate and Whitestone Point. at the junct-
,,ra of East River and Long Island Sound.

,ior at the mouth OF Rondout Creek, Hud
son River, $4,000 is provided. An appro-
nriation of $500 is authorized for park
