Stories of the Paris Cou-tc.

Among humorous stories CT the Par
Is law courts it is told how il wei
known lawyer, NJ. Alem Rousseau,
was once pleading rather tiresonla
case and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, "AS
the president is falling asleep l sus
pend my speech" But the judge had
just woke up and cried, And l sus-
pend you from practicing for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, / suspend myself
forever and ever" and, gathering up
his brief and cap, he left the court
snd never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and. dealing a ire
mendous blow on the desk in front OF
him that woke everybody up with a
start, he cried, Yesterday at this same
hour l was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other if they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was beading at
Versailles ON cold day and remarked
that the judges were all turning more
and more around toward a stove that
gave out a welcome heat. THE tribu-
nal behind which l have the honor Of
speaking" brought them all right about
face at once.

THE STATE PRESS.

Martson's Weekly says if Hon. Robert
Roberts ''had made the speech he made at
the Press Convention Aswell would have
looked like small potato in the bin, and
could have been dished up with a spoon!"
Mansfield Enterprise: You can just
As-well as not, support Judge Hall of
Monroe for the governorship. He will do
just As-well as the Natchitoches man, and
perhaps little better, as he did not force
himself into the contest, but responded to
the call of Democracy.
TheLouisiana Democrat hands thislemon
to Mr.. Roy, Of the School Ring: Those
who went through the appalling horrors of
Reconstruction, and many of them are yet
living, will not submit without protest to
have their daughters under the tutelage of
men who have taught negro schools.

Aswell Wholly Responsible.
[Thibodaux Commercial journal.


: AswelI is responsible more than any
other man for the schools being in politics.
Despite the article of the Constitution that
requires every office holder to be an elector
of the jurisdiction in which he holds his
office, he had the law plastered so as to
send the people of one parish a superin-
tendent from another parish. He is respon-
sible for the creation of more assistants and
sinecures in the educational department OF
this State than any other man. He has
hopelessly dragged the schools into politics
and benefited by the ringism of State pol
itics. He was quoted four years ago on
the promise that he would then have no
opposition if he supported Sanders. He
has always been subservient to the bosses,
remained perfectly silent, obedient, blind
to the rottenness of ringism, whenever he
benefited thereby. Can the people be-
leve that his platform, culled from the
resolutions ofthe Good Government League
are sincere? Did he not steal its thunder:
Can we expect candidate, supported by
an individual supporting Sanders for Sen
ator, to carry out the platform that he has
the audacity to pretend to be his own?
The people can not afford in justice t.
themselves to take chance with Aswell O
his platform.

We give this advice to the voters OF
louisiana: Take care that you nominate
for Governor a man who is his own master,
and not another's. Take care that you
nominate man who has the frmness to
work out his own public life, who scorns to
make combinations for his own agrandise-
ment at the expense of the public service,
and who is not selfish autocrat, but is in
touch with the common people and in SYM
patty with their wants and feelings at all
times and under all circumstances. and not
only when he wants their votes.

City School, asking that the Bossier City
School be allowed to run for nine months

WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS.

1T is regrettable fact" said May
or Grice. at a republican banquet IN
Fort Wayne, that the most popular
men are not necessarily the best men;
the most popular books are not the
best books, and the most popular
plays are not the best plays.
TEven in anecdotes" continued
Mayor Grice, 'the public taste is bad.
I'll tell you the kind of anecdote the
public wants.
"a Bostonian was showing his two
little girls through the Poets Corner
in Westminster Abbey Bessie, the
older of the two little girls, carried a
rose in her hand. When they came
to the marble effigy of Longfellow,
Bessie rose on tiptoe and reverently
placed her rose in a fold of the poets
marble drapery.
CAS- the Bostonian departed he
missed his golden-haired younger
daughter. Turning back, he saw her
still lingering before Longfellow's
bust. Then, as he regarded her, she
drew herself up and placed something
that glittered beside her sisters red
rose. And, smiling happily, she ran
to her father.
"'What were you doing, dear one%
the Bostonian asked.
"'Bessie had a rose and l hadn't
nuffng,' said the little golden-haired
darling, so / bit off one of my curls
and gave Mr. Longfellow that"

Needs Of the settlement.

We find them to be as follows
1. $4,000 for new buildings to re-
place old buildings at Bay View
Home
2. $4,000 for an ice plant, with a
capacity Of turning out one ton of ice
per day. For this purpose the last
Legislature appropriated $1,000, but
it was found insufficient and was not
touched at all.
8. $4,000 for building and repairing
road from Kalaupapa to Kalawao.
4. $4,000 or Jail and jailors cot

6. $1,000 for stationery and free

tation.
8. $24O per month. for the running
expenses of the Nursery.
8. $3.50 per month for the running
expenses of the new Hospital.

Patients improved.

There is a marked improvement in
the appearance of some of the patients
here and the number of patients who
have voluntarily submitted them
selves for treatment under the new
law is exceptionally large. Some of
these cases exhibit the disease in a
very advanced stage.
Under the new system sixty per-
sons have been received here as
lepers against eleven in the last pc
riod under the former law. During
the period sixty-seven persons were
examined under the leper law passed
at the Session of 1909, fifty-five of
which were examined in Honolulu,
and twelve at the Leper Settlement.
OF the fifty-fve examined in Homo
lulu, forty-eight were declared 20
have the disease, the rest not to have.
All twelve examined at the Settle
ment were declared lepers
There are now in the Kalihi Receiv.
ing Station sixty patients, twenty
seven females and thirty-three males,
the youngest six years of age and
the Oldest seventy years. OF these,
fifty-seven have been admitted since
March 81, 1909.
From its investigation here your
Committee IS of the opinion that some
amendment should be made in the
present law providing for the letting
out on paroie Of subjects formerly de-
clared lepers but who on re-examina
ton do not exhibit the disease. II
