Beware of the eminently
respectable citizen with the

says Judge Ben. Lindsey,
who has learned a lot OF hu-
man nature from his dealings
with boys in the Children $
Court, and he tells this story:
"A teacher in the Denver
public schools lost her pocket
book. She blamed Bill, the
bad boy Of the class. When
| investigated the case |
found that the purse had
been stolen by Johnnie, the
teachers own tair-haired
child, so to speak. To com
plicate matters, it was dis
covered that Johnnie had
split with dear little, truth
full Willie and some other
curly haired darlings because
Bill had surmised that John.

The Biz NeheII Canal.

Right now there are LIS

Irrigation Company's grand
Schell Canal. This large
force is at work on the tun-
mel that passes under the
Morgan Railroad, which re-
quires digging about forty

This tunnel Is ten by twelve
feet and is the largest part of
the remaining work. After
The completion three days

in connection with the water.
In order that this work may
be completed by February
goth, this crew is at work
night and day. 1t is the in
tention to throw the first

lst.
This canal, as will be com
plete by March |, will consist
of five and one half miles of
main canal $50 feet wide,
which is now complete the
|OpelOusas branch II miles
long which is large enough
to carry water for a number
Of laterals, one which leads
out from it three miles in the
direction Of Opelousas and
runs right up to the city
limits, and is known as the
Opelousas lateral; the two
and a half mile Of Plaisance
lateral is complete; then there
is a lateral B miles long run
ming in the direction of DR..

Monroe Returns ForSythe to Office.

Monroe, La, March .
After one of the most siren
uous and exciting city cam
paigns ever held in Monroe,
DR.. A. A. Forsythe was to-
day reelected mayor Of Mon

ing, blowing all kinds OF
horns and burning red fire
sticks. All this time whistles
were blowing and bells ring
ing. The Monroe Band ap-
peared and an immense
throng, composed Of men,
women and children, parad-
ed the streets. The excite
ment continued until a late
hour.
The campaign which end
ed tonight was the hardest
fought contest ever known
in north Louisiana. Outside
of about a dozen fist fights
there was never any serious
trouble.
DR.. Forsythe has been
mayor of Monroe twelve years
and'his reelection tonight is

is known as the municipal

some friends who were going to In
terlaken. From there the party de-
cided to tramp across the Brunig
pass, TO the Lake of the Four Cain
tons and then take the little steamer

Workrhen were repairing the noun
tain road as Miss Bruins and her
party plodded along and there was
considerable blasting. A foreman
warned the wayfarers that, If they
heard three bugle blasts, to stop,
for 1t would mean that blast was
about to be exploded The party had
almost reached >the top of the pass.
when oft rang the three blasts and,
as theyI stopped short. they were hor-
rified to see big touring car. with
q party OF six, chng chugging very
rapidly up the grade and paying not
the slightest attention TO the warn
ing Miss Bruins jumped into the mid
die of the road and in her best Ger
man told the automobilist OF the dan
ger. The machine made a quick turn
and got down the grade and Miss
Bruins and her party lodged behind
some sheltering rocks. The blast
came and the air was full Of flying
things. Then everybody started on
up the hill again. When the auto
overlook the pedestrians, the occu-
pants were profuse in their thanks.
Nothing more was thought about the
incident until, a week later, at the
Hotel National, in Lucerne, Miss
Bruins was presented to the young
Prince Nicholas Cauntazene, whom
she recognized las the >automobilist

his thanks to the charming American
