HALL ON ASWELL
The People Not Interested in the
Ambition of Candidates.

In his speech at a barbecue al
Many, La, where it is reported there
was crowd estimated at 1000, Judge
Hall, after referring to the real is
sues, the continuance of machine
rule in Louisiana or its final rout,
spoke of his own career and his sue
cesses in contests before the people
of his district.
Judge Hall, referring to AswelI
declared the people were not inter
ested in his personal ambitions, that
what they wanted was a clean man
who could be trusted. He spoke of
the game wardens, the Marks bill,
the Bailey-Lambremont contest. He
deprecated Aswell's filings at John T
Michel for having been an office boy,
clerk and stenographer, compliment
ing the sixteen bosses candidate for
his success as a man and then de-
claring that the fight was not against
John T. Michel as a man but as part
of a system that had to be destroyed
for the benefit of Louisiana and free
government.
'You find" affirmed Judge Hall,
both Michel and Aswell supported
by this very machine which their
platforms declare they oppose, the
boss of the Tenth Ward supporting
both Sanders and Aswell, while San
ders is giving his endorsement to the
leader of the Thirteenth Ward and
candidate for governor.
I'VE also find that Michels plat
form declares for the abolition of
the game wardens, while Aswell says
the system should be revised or
something like that. One naturally
would expect to find the game war
dens taking to the tall timber, but
we find them solidly supporting Mi
chel, and saying 'Aswell is mighty
fine man. You do not find any of
them saying they intend to support
me, because they know will do ex-
actly what say | will do
Judge Hall called attention to DR..
Aswell's naming the league as a ring
after he had failed to get the sup
port of any leader in the Good Gov
organization. He averred|
his whole career was a struggle
against the very system for which
AsWell and Michel stand today.

In the Line Of Economy.

Here is story which former Secre-
tary of War Dickinson tells Of how a
colnred man planned to save money
when is brother died. The darky
went to the station agent in his little
town, which was about fifty miles
from Memphis. Tenn. and asked:
Boss, how much is 1t to fetch a
corpse from hyah to Memphis?"
The agent told him.
well, boss, how much is it to fetch
corpse on round trip from hyah to
Memphis? r.
This information was also given. but
the agent added:
Il never heard of carrying a corpse
on round trip"
Well. boss. you see it's dis way..
explained the darby. "Dis hyah corpse
Is my bruvver. an we got a lot of
kinfolks up in Memphis. All dem kin
folks would come down hyah to look
at de corpse. an dey would jes' eat

I'd save money by fetchin' dis corpse
up dar an lettin' 'em take q look at

A Clock That Speaks.

"The clock strikes one. we take nc
note Of time" sang Young in his
might Thoughts" Were Young liv-
ing today he would get much more
poetry from the speaking than from
the striking timepiece. The new
slime stating clock" invented in Ger
many, announces the hours and quar-
tiers in IAN agreeable voice" Its

over roll connected with a sounding
box. Upon this belt, or rather film,

by a photograph, are impressed by
galvaniZation on. copper plate. The
mechanism which moves the hands is

Juddes for Parish Fair.

Mansfield Enterprise: DeSoto Par
ish Fair secured judges of national
reputation for it's departments. Mr.
IS. 0. Hollingsworth, who judged
hogs at the National Stock Show in
Chicago in 1910, will judge hogs anC
Jersey cattle.
Mr.. Wilmer Johnson of New Or
leans, president South Louisiana
Poultry Association, will judge the
poultry.
Mr.. f. H. Gosman of Shreveport
will judge the cotton department.
Every department will have an
expert, who when he ties a ribbon
will know and tell you why. They
will lecture frequently on their spe-
cial subjects, and it will be liberal
education to our farmers and stock
men. The Fair Association is doing
its best to make the DeSOto Parish

Who Is to Blame?

Eve-Up-tO-Date in the Times
Democrat: Eve wonders if parents
realize the indelible impression they
create on d little child's mind, when
to gain few moments of quiet and
peace they tell him that an old man
will appear if he makes so much
noise; or to hasten his going to sleep
explain how the hobgoblins are Just
outside the window waiting to catch
children who refuse to hurry into
slumber.
Every distressing, blood-curdling
story told child, every supersti-
llous fear instilled into his young
life, make photographic records in
his nature which will be reproduced
with astonishing exactness in his fu-
ture life.
To punish little tot quivering
with fright is almost sin. Parents
unlntentiOnally rob children of their
trustfulness in things by filling cor
ners and crevices with terrible be-
ings ready to eat them up at the
slightest provocation, and then dis
play deep concern when a small son
shows fear at the darkness, or a lit
tie daughter is thrown into convul-
slons at being left alone. Who is to
blame?

hummina Bird Shoes.

Shoes made Of the breast feathers
Of humming birds are the latest ex-
travagance of footwear. And an awful
extravaganza it is! They are the ere
alton of Paris shoemaker It takes
about six months and many humming
birds to make one pair, as the tiny
breasts must. be stitched together to
make kind of cloth Of feathers. The
effect Is very beautiful, the shoe
cleaning with tones of reds and Colds
mingled. (The reds may represent
the blood Of the slain cumming birds
and the Colds the wealth of the per-
SON who wears them.l A pair of these
shoes cost only $2,5O0-in money. But
they cost the lives Of countless num-
bers Of the most beautiful birds-so
tiny and helpless-that nature ever
created. And the saddest thing about
it all is this-the shoes are made for
women to wear!-Boston Traveller.

The Wickedest City.

There is no doubt about it-this is
the wickedest city in the world! One
would hardly come to Irkutsk for a
rest cure With population of 120,.
600 persons crammed into couple OF
square miles on a bend in the Angara
river. it produces 500 murders year,
with an average of one arrest for each
fifty killings And for each ten ar
rests there are but five convictions.
This is not buncombe; it is tran
scription from the city's criminal rec
ords. In one day not long ago there
were twenty-five murders and at
tempted murders within the city
limits.
Irkutsk is pretty gay at nights now,
but the citizens look back enviously to
the zenith of its career to the days
Of the recent japanese war. Then
champagne and wines were often eau
tiously transported free of freight
charges from st. Petersburg and Mos
cow in steel cars labeled powder
cars militant with painted imperial
eagles and Cossack guards. A colonel
of one regiment openly boosted in the
Metropole restaurant the other night
that more champagne was drunk in
Irkutsk in one month during the Japa-
nese war than is sold on Broadway
New York, in half a year.-Irkutsk

Let Him Alone

st. Helena Echo: If we had any
voice in saying how the campaign of
the Good Government League should
be conducted from now on, it would
be that our leaders and public
speakers absolutely refrain from al
luding to DR.. Aswell and turn their
attention TO the enemy, the ring
headed by that self-confessed ward
hess and CRATER, John 7. Michel. As
we'll has following in the State
consisting of the school teachers and
superintendent and many other
good people who may have to be
reckoned with in second primary.
1t will be noted that the Picayune,
the only paper in the State of any
note supporting Michel, is not filled
up with TRADES against Aswell and
his followers, and should it happen
that Hall should fail of nomination
in the first primary, it will hover
them under its wings and lead them
gently over into Michel's camp. We
got our esteemed friend Colonel
Ewing ''sorter het up" recently by
saying this was going to be ''his
trick" We never meant to refer to
him as a ''trickster," we were trying
to make it plain that the ring had to
perpetuate itself in power, and in
second primary Colonel Ewing and
my two newspapers would be
found supporting Michel.

rransformina a chinaman.

A few weeks ago the Chinese of

very great deal Of the laundry work
available, and so had thrown out of
employment the women workers in
some Of the laundries In New Zea-
land a laundry is factory within
the meaning Of the factories act. so
It occurred to the lawmaker that he
could settle the difficulty of this Chi
nese competition by a neat amend
ment In the Interpretation clause of
the act above mentioned. An amend
ment was therefore drafted and
printed and sent with the utmost Sc
robustness and good faith to the crown

THE GROSsCUPS
DODGED THE PULPIT
Parents Wanted a Preacher,
but the Fates Prevented.

There were three boys In our fam
lily out in Ashland county. o." said
Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup Of
Charleston. W. Va, at the Willard ho-
tel, land our good old Lutheran par
ents decided that one Of the three
should be preacher.
Peter, the firstborn, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think Of some other
vocation. Well. when Peter left COL
lege he told father and mother that he
guessed the church could get along
without him, as he preferred the law.
Then was picked for the pulpit, and
after term In college my parents
were shocked to learn that I had en-
tered business house far from
home
THAT meant the selection of Ben,
the youngest, for the church. and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought it wisest to follow the
example Of Peter and enter the legal
profession. There were no other boys,
so what could father and mother do
but exclaim, The Lords will be done,
and givS us each a parental blessing?
Years after, when Brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ben
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed reconciled
to the loss sustained by the pulpits of
the country. Washington Post.
