Back in Bastrop he found that
he could add to the family's in
come and study law at the same
time if he secured a. place as
teacher in the Bastrop school.
He had little trouble getting it.
Quiet, studious, wasting nc
time in frivolties, he had cultiva-
ted the friendship of older men
rather than boys of his own age.
At the end of a session in the
Bastrop High School, he worked
the farm with his father and read
law at night. When autumn
came the farm bore a big crop
and he went to New Orleans to
enter Tulane Law School, where
he finished in Law in 1891.
Very early in his legal career
his ability as a great lawyer was
apparent. At the early age of
thirty he was made District
Judge. At the age of thirty-four
he was reelected. Four years
later a new court of Appeals hav-
ing been created in his district,
he was elected to sit on that
bench. though bitterly opposed
by the regular organization. In
1910 he aspired to succeed Judge
Land in the Supreme Court and
after a hard race he was elected
an Associate Justice of the Su-
RENE Court. The term to which
he was elected does not begin
until the spring of 1912, and he
has not therefore taken his seat.
He is now holding no Office, hav-
ing resigned from the judgeship
of the Court of Appeals.

could stand for reelection on the
bench for a second or even a
third term.
And Hall replied that he would
take up the cause of the people,
that he would make the great
sacrifice if Louisiana called him
to it.
He has taken up that cause
willingly and manfully, and since
last July has been campaigning
throughout the State, discussing
the issues before the voters of
Louisiana. He has subjected
himself to the abuse and ISLANDERS
Of the opposition. He has been
maligned and misrepresented on
all sides, but has kept his course
and demonstrated the fact that
the people want him in the Ex-
ecutive chair.
He has done his whole duty in
this as he has in all public sta
tons to when he has been cleo
ted, and the people will recog-
nize their opportunity to select a
man for governor who has shown
such a noble sense of obligation
to the State.
Judge LIE. Hall is the son of
a Morehouse parish farmer. He
attended the public schools in
Bastrop and then the old Acade-
mic Department of the Tulane
University. Between sessions
he worked in the field with his
father, who despised idling and
idlers, and kept his children busy
as the best discipline for them.
Then he went to Washington and
Lee University, in Virginia,
where he took the degree of
Bachelor of Arts in 1889, was
yaledictorian of his class, and
elected to a Scholarship for Grad,
uate work..

Pensy is Revising
Foot Ball Schedule

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 2.-Pennsyl-
vania is revising its foot ball schedule
for next year. Because Of the absence OF
any big games with the eastern colleges.
such as Yale. Princeton and HSrvaTd. the
red and blue is trying to grange games
which will give It a schedule Of general
excellence that will make up in part
for its inability to arrange games with
the great triumvirate Cornell aud
Michigan are fixtures and are the big
gest games that Pennsylvania has. Now
the Quakers are looking around for other
good drawing cards and have made over
lures to Dartmouth for a game during
the latter part OF the season. 1t is under
stood that Williams has also been APP
preached. AS the schedule must be rati-
fled by the faculty athletic committee
before il is announced nothing officially
win be known for a few weeks regarding
just what games have been arranged.
W. Hobart Porter, who is chairman Of
the committee that has the schedule I'm
charge, says that number of important
changes I'm the opponents for Pcnnsyl-
vania next year are contemplated. 1t Is
not known what reply Dartmouth has
made to Pennsylvania, but It is believed
that a game has been tentatively Sc
cured with the strong New England
team.

HOME CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM

Do not waste time nor take chances
of becoming a cripple or helpless
sufferer from Rheumatism by trying
to cure the disease with external APP
plicationS alone. Such treatment
sometimes gives relief from the
severe pain, or may reduce the
inflammation of a swollen Joint or
muscle, but the effect cannot be more
than temporary. Each day the cause
is allowed to remain in the system
rheumatism gets a frmer hold on
its victim. Purify your blood of the
inhammatory uric acid and then you
will cure the disease permanently.
The system will respond more quickly
and surely to 8. 8. S. than any other
treatment. This great blood purifier
possesses the penetrating qualities
necessary to drive out every trace of
urate matter from the circulation and
build the blood up to nourishing
and healthful condition. Only pure
blood can overcome Rheumatism, and
s. 8. S. surely creates pure blood.
Thousands have cured themselves of
Rheumatism by using S, s. S.. a
medicine made entirely of roots,
herbs and banks; no harmful mineral
enters into its composition, and
S. S. S. is therefore safe for any one
to use. Write for our book on Rheu-I
tnatism and ask for any special med
ical advice. No charge for either.
S. s. S. is sold at drug stores.
