The Lesser EVIL.

Gresham college in 1919 was the
scene Of famous serio-comic duel be-
tween two celebrated doctors, DR..
Mead and DR.. Woodward, both OF
whom were lecturers at the college,
While walking down Bishopsgate
street one morning they quarreled
over some medical question and ad'
iourned to the square of the college
to fight it out with swords. Woodward
fell, wounded in several places, where
upon Mead magnanimously said, Take
thy life" Anything but your physic,

Committee votes for New Orleans.

The first battle in the exciting
campaign between New Orleans
and San Francisco for indorse-
ment as the site for the Panama
Exposition has been won by the
Crescent City. By a vote of 8 to
6 the house committee ON expo
sitions favors New Orleans. The
fight is now transferred to the
floor of the house, with the pros
poets of a long struggle before it
is settled permanently.
The people Of the United States
can reach New Orleans more
quickly and inexpensively than
San Francisco. Access to the
canal is easier from New Orleans
than from San Francisco. These
two cardinal points ought to set
lie the matter beyond peradven-
tire.
In the interests of the nation,
mther than those of the South,
any exposition celebrating the
opening of the Panama canal
shouh logically, be held at New
Orleans.

A Fishing Trip to

The Neptune Fishing Club, of
Edgard, entertained Messrs. Viii
liam j. Hart, Joseph LeBrun
and Olidee Webre, at its Camp,
on Saturday and Sunday.
The writer will not dwell on
the picturesque scenery between
Edgard and the Lake-suffice it
to say that it is unequaled in any
country. A succession of field
and forest, stream and bayou,
that pen cannot describe nor ar
tist paint, but which must be
seen to be appreciated, and once
seen is never forgotten, the gran
deur and beauty of which enters
deep into ones soul, making life
worth the living out of pure Joy
of heart for the wonder of it all.
1t is said that man finds
strength in the solitude of the
wilderness. Heis a social animal,
to be sure, but there,is such a

1t is not alone the tonic atmos-
phere, free from the smoke and
dust of civilization, that the
camper seeks. Here the desolate
prairies draw like a magnet those
who have once tasted their Sc
clusion. Men have found here a
strengthening of soul and body
such as they can find nowhere
else, and the primitive in their
nature calls them back again,
sometimes against their will.
Here human contention and
strife are forgotten. Gradually
