"Thc Most UnLindest Cut Of All"

Richland Democrat: State Super
intendent of Public Education Thos.
II. Harris is bitter opponent of DR..
Aswell, Notwithstanding the fact
that the doctor procured several
notable positions for him and used
his influence TO secure for him his
present position. At an Aswell meet
ing at Baton Rouge, Justin c. Daspit
paid his respects to Prof Harris in
The following vitriolic language:
"Of all the ingrates-ef allsthe in

the prince.
Il call upon every decent, self
respecting Louisiana citizen, matters
not what may be his political affilia-

ballots for man so low in ideals,
so mean of purpose, SO poor of spirit
as to betray his former friend and
benefactor.''

Caesar DeRoSe Is Free.

OF the notorious dcfiers of the
law in Shreveport, negroes and
white men, Caesar DeBose a negro
has been one of the most brazen. He
was recently convicted in the city
court of violating the prohibition
law Besides being assessed to pay
heavy fines to the city and State, he
was assigned to four months on the
road He appealed to the District
Court, Judge 7. +. Bell. Having
heard the case, Judge Bell ruled
against the decision of the city court
for the reason that the 'spOtter''
upon whose evidence DeBOse was
committed was not cOrrOborated by
another witness. This is one of sew
eral instances where DeBose escap-
ed the clutches of the law, on some
tcchnicality or some proof insuffi-
cient TO convict.
How long is the community to be
burdcned with Caesar DcBOse and
others Of his stamp?
Unquestionably four months or
more Of scrvitude at hard labor on
the public roads or parish farm
would prove TO be a most convinc-
ing argument that DeBosc's defiance
had reached the limit.

A Christmas PRAYER.

Lord, for the lonely heart
pray apart
Now for the son of sorrow
Whom this tomorrow
Rejoiceth not, o Lord.
Hear my weak word.
For lives too bitter to be borne,
For the tempted and the torn,
For the prisoner in the cell,
For the shame lip doth not tell
For the haggard suicide,
Peace, peace; this Christmastide!
Into the desert, trod
By the long sick, O God,
Into the patient gloom
OF that small room
Where lies the child of pain
OF all neglected most, be fain
TO enter, healing and remain.
Now at the fall of day
II bow and pray.
For those who can not sleep
watch | keep.
Oh, let the starving brain
Be fed and fed again.
at thy bellest
The tortured nerves find rest
| see the vacant chair.
Father of souls, prepare
My poor thoughts feeble power
TO plead this hour.
For the empty, aching home,
Where the silent footsteps come.
Where the unseen face looks on.
Where the handclasp is not felt,
Where the dearest eyes are gone,
Where the portrait on the wall
Stirs and struggles as to speak,
Where the light breath from tn
hall
Calls the color to the cheek,
Where the voice breaks in the hymn
When the sunset burneth dim,
Where the late large tear will start
Frozen by the broken heart;
Where the lesson is TO learn
How to live, TO grievc, to yearn,
How to bear and how to bow,
Oh, the Christmas that is fled,
Lord of living and of dead,
Comfort thoul
