Seeking Louisiana Lands.
From the New Orleans Picavmel

From the New Orleans Picayunel
IN the opinion of Mr.. J. H. R. Parsons
General Agent for the Southern Pacific 4
the rush Of Eastern farmers to the Golden
,ahos or Louisiana continues, there will not
De many acres available, and others must
wait until the wet prairies are reclaimed.
In the rush OF Northern agriculturists to
LOUISIANA MI. Parsons sees the beginning
VI an epoch of prosperity that will place
IN the state among the richest in the country.
Inc omclal is altogether for New Orleans
ana Louisiana in the upward industrial
movement, and through his department
nave been conducted many of the far
reacnlng plans of the Southern Pacific
TO boom the rich country traversed by
its lines.
Mr. Parsons compares the awakening
tnat Is now going on in Louisiana to the
org movements that converted several of
the western States from prairie wastes into
rlch grain producing centers, and predicts
ior Louisiana an even greater prosperity.
for the reason that her soil and climate
make it possible to grow crops all the wear.
Our farm lands are always busy and
the thrifty farmer has his profitable work
ahead of him in the four seasons of the
year. commented Mr.. Parsons. "This
plan OF cutting the large plantations into
farms of forty or eighty acres is doing
much toward bringing about results. On
the large plantations much of the land was
not given the attention it should have had.
but in the forty acre tracts the individual
holders will give all their time to crop de-
velopment
THE best plan for the land promoters
to follow-and it is pretty sure they are
doing so-is to advertise conditions lust as
they are, and not depend upon their i'm
agination to supply things that do not
exist. We can stand on that sort of adver-
Using, and We do not need coloring, for we
have so many things that other states have
not, and our climate is such, that Northern
farmers are bound to be attracted to US. -

Wants to Buy a Louisiana Farm.

Mr.. c. O. Gayle, one of the progressive
merchants of this place, has received the
following letter of inquiry from Indiana:
Dear SIR: Please send me your price
list Of farm lands. Is the land level or
billy, and what timber have you? Are
there any lakes near? | want to change
conditions as am tired of renting. Iwant
to buy farm somewhere. Yours truly,
|. H. LEHR.
Here in Bossier Parish Mr.. Lehr can
find just what he wants-cheap wooded
lands Gin the uplands or river bottoms)
located near Red River or one of our many
pretty lakes or bayous. Some of it is
rolling but most of it is level, and wood
and water are to be found everywhere. If
he wants to come where good, productive
wild or cultivated soils are cheap, now is
the time for him to come here, as already
inquiries are becoming regular and the
tide of immigration will soon turn South.
One had better come now before prices
advance.
Any working man can buy a small place
in this community on easy terms, which is
a great drawing card, but Louisiana's real
magnet" lies in the versatility of her
soils and her uniformly mild climate. Get
out Of the rent belt and from under the
thumb of the landlord and come to Louis
lana where you can buy cheaply to-day!
decade from to-day land values will
have trebled-and more.

which suppuration takes place in the
wound. repetition of the prophylactic
injection should follow at intervals of
from eight to twelve days until COM

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Do you remember, from the dim de
light
OF long ago, the dreamy summer
night,
So full. so soft, when you, sleepy
child,
Lay in your family starlit room, and
smiled.
Responsive to the laughter of the folk
Who sat upon the porch below and
spoke
From time to time, or sang snatch
of song?
do you remember still across the long
Years way the perfume from the flow
er beds
Waited in gusts Of sweetness, as the
heads
OF drowsy blooms were shaken by the
wind?
sAnd wistful, do YOU still hold in your
The myriad doings of the summer
night?
The tree loads. and the cricket's chirp,
the flight
OF f1refies, those burglars of the dark,
Who flash their lantern light, then veil
its spark;
The breathless calling of the. whip
poorwills,
"A sobbing screech owl among the
hills?
Then-cobweb visions over dreamy
Do you remember how in mystic guise
Sleep gan to wave her mantle DER
your head?
Now far. now near, the shadowy folds
she spread,
Slow and more slow, until at last they
fell
And wrapped you in their slumb'rous
heavy swell
And so, close gathered into happy rest,
Sleep caught you fast against her fra
grant breast.
Then set her velvet pinions wide in
fight
And bore you drought the wonder OF
the night.
Prescott Montague, in the
Atlantic.

OF the fifteen amendments that have
been added to the constitution since
it was adopted 12S years ago, ten
were proclaimed in the first two years
of the life of the new government,
says the Kansas City Star. The
eleventh was declared in force in 1898
and the twelfth in 1904. No further
notifications were made in the origi
nal instrument until after the civil
war which brought the last three
amendments. The last of those was
adopted forty-one years ago. Since
that time, while many proposals for
the change of the constitution have
been made, none has been Incorporate
ed into the organic law. Two years
ago, however, the income tax amend
ment was submitted, and it is expect
ed that the proposal for the popular
election of senators will shorty come
before the states. If both these should
be adopted-as seems likely-the ira
dition of the impossibility of modify
ing the constitution will have been
shattered. Such a result would be ex-
ceedingly wholesome. Written consti-
tutions are bound to become out
grown in parts. 1t would be serious
condition if the nation should be fore
ed to believe that it was bound by a

tered except by smashing it.
