MICHEL GRAND STAND PLAY.

A MICHEL GRAND STAND PLAY
Besides the copy of the Picayune
i'm exchange the Caucasian has been
.COmpllmcnted with an extra copy
marked. At the top Of the first page
of this issue there is displayed a
copy OF check, written for $1,000,
and signed by Capt. VIM. A. BissO,
and offered as a wager that Michel
Will carry the city Of New Orleans
two to one against Hall
In this wager Aswcll us not in
the conversation and seemingly is
not considered as an element of
consequence in the campaign for
The goNcrnOrship.
This profTercd wager did not long
remain unaCceptcd, as soon after its
publication it was called by w. Il.
Mccarthy, president of the Eleventh
Ward Club of The Good Government
League, who has placed a certified
check for $1,000 with the picayune
as the stakeholder.
Wagers, especially when fixed at
thousands Of dollars, are suggested
for effect, but do not settle an issue
political. Such wagers are, as a
rule, bluffs and reminders of some
gentlemen of prominence as citizens
Of wealth in Shreveport who when
attending meetings in years past de-
signed to stimulate progress, would
rise deliberately from their seats
and announce: Gentlemen, | am
one of one hundred who will sub
scribe one thousand dollars TO this
enterprise" knowing full well that
ninety-nine others of equal promi-
nence would not join him in such
recklcssness.
In this instance the buffer vas
called Unexpectedly, and therefore
the hichelites will have no oppor-
tunity to elOat over Hall.
An authority i'll politics has an
nounced that among current csti-
mates being made by the best posted
on the political situation south Of
Red river is the following:
Hall majority in Third, Fourth
and Seventh congressional districts
1000 to 5000
Hall vote in Orleans 800
Nichel vote in Orbans--------t7,0O0
Aswell vote in Orleans 5000
Total vote in Orleans 600
Other men also well posted and
who keep in full touch with politics
throughout the State and especially
in New Orleans have figured that
Michel and Hall would have IAN
even break in New Orleans" In the
final aggregate Of the votes polled
at the January % primary Miehel's
votes may exceed Hall by possibly a
thousand or more, but to maintain
his standing Michels majority in
New Orleans must reach from 10000
TO $1,000, and without such major
ity, which he can and never will re-
ccive, he is foredoomed to defeat.
This wager by Bisso and others
who may follow him is simply pur-
posed as a grand stand play" to
strengthen and stiffen the back
bones of thousands of Michefs
friends who already are shaking at
the knees.
The drift is towards Hall, who is
not only holding his strength but is
increasing in popularity, being re-
cognized as the best man for the
whole State and the people for gov
ernor, and who therefore will re-
Ceive the nomination in the Febru-
airy primary, if not in the January
primary.

When we close a saloon or a dis

Stop before you begin. That is, the

SEVEN HURT WHILE
GOING TO FUNERAL
Wagonette Loaded With MOurners
Hurled Into Ditch and All Are
Thrown 0ut--N0ne VIII
Die.

Fort Smith, April 26.-Seven
persons were injured, several
seriously, at Hartford, this county,
about two O'Clock yesterday after
noon when a wagonette loaded with
mourners attending the funeral of
William Delaney, we'll known res
ident of this place, were hurled
into ditch. None of the injured
will die.
AS the wagonette in which the
mourners were seated descended a
hill and was crossing some railroad
tracks the double tree broke. The
horses did not run away, but the
vehicle was thrown with terrific
force in the ditch. The only oc-
cupant of the vehicle who escaped
injury was the driver.
Mrs. Delaney, the widow, is
among the most seriously injured.
She was unconscious for several
hours and for some time it was inn
possible to remove her TO her
home. The accident caused the
funeral cortege to disband and the
hearse proceeded to Centre Point
cemetery unattended except by the
undertaken and his assistants.

Adams first son was a murderer,
and so the generations still, like
their father, are disobedient, and
sin is nothing more than DISC

crime they will be punished. If
they are taught by ignorant, care
less parents to dodge the civil laws
The spiritual law of love is weak
ened, and by and by our boys are
men and they mediate upon tho
lessons they received. did our
parents teach us to respect the laws
that be as Christ commands? Did
they teach us to respect the rights
of others and the golden rule? We
believe that God has made it very
plain by showing that suffering is
the result of disobedience to nat

baby boys. The serpent stings them |

Do VI. sleep Too mssh7

Perhaps. on account of popular opIn- ion and personal habit. we waste much time in a jellyash ecsoition that could be more prefitsbIy spent in active pursuit of our ambitions The answer of course. depends upon the nature of our occupatibn. If there is much muscular effort involved. with a cor responding large arnvuut of waste in the cells and blood. eight hours or more are probably necessary. But If our work Is Of a sedentary nature and mainly of the brain there Is naturally a smaller quantity of accumulated waste. and less time Is required for It's removal Many are the Instances of great men, past and prtsent. who have lived healthfully and worked uuceas- lngly and strenuously on only four or five hours of sleep. or half the laborers portion. Surely we are not to suppose that those men were or are physically different from others, but rather that by inclination ov necessity they have developed habit of sleeping intensely for short perfod instead of lightly for longer period. with resulting gain of time and efficiency. .-Atlantic Monthly.

Lieh, and Sound Waves.

With reference to our ability 10 ten the direction from which sound pro ceeds. attention may be called to an interesting difference between the eyes and the ears in relation to the size of the waves that strike them The av- craze wave length of light Is about one ten thousandth of the diameter of the pupil of the eye. On the other band. according to RayIefah. the waves of sound proceeding from mans mouth are about eight feet long. whereas the diameter of the passage of the ear ia quite small and could moi well have been made a large multiple of eight feet.
