Some people think not. Some
consider it a sheer waste Of time
They neither read themselves, mol
have any respect for those who
do.

hands in their pockets and stare
at the sun by the hour, that can 7
read on account of weak eyes.

a whole week embroidering a pet

dire malady.
| know men who have become
SO obsessed with the mania for
money gathering, that all their
dearest and most vital interests
are entrusted to the care of 9th
ers.
know women who keep an eye

ion" till she's blue in the face.
and attend seventeen bridge part
les a week-who can't possibly
find time to read, or take a per-
sonal interest in the education of
their children.
All of these people-who are my
dear friends. and some of them
kin to me-are great sticklers for
education. Above all other things
they want their children educated.
and no sacrifice is too great to
make to keep them in school, re-

LOUISLANIANS TO TAKE
BACK SEATS.

Washington, April At one
time this afternoon Arsene Pujo,
Joseph E. Ransdell, Albert Estop-
inal and Garland Dupre looked as
if they wished they had never
come to Congress. That was while
they were waiting for their names
TO be drawn out Of the lottery
wheel so that they could select
S -ats. AS a State Louisiana had
the worst luck going. Except
Representative Watkins. the men,
'bers Of the delegation got not a
single chance to find a good seat.
Mr.. Broussald, who still is in
Honduras. might as well not come
back. because when he does he will
probably have to sit on a crac ker
Dor if he has any desire to hear
what is going on.
Usually the absentee whose Sc
lection has to be made by proxy
is lucky. Not 80 with Mn. Brous-
sard. His name stuck to the bot
tom of the box and refused to
come out until only two or three
names were left. Judge Watkins
got a fairly early start, and was
able to get an interior seat near
the front. Harrison. one of the
three new men from Mississippi,
had the fortune Of being the first
Mississippian to have his name
called. The Louisiana members.
being called last, had to take
seats away back on the extreme
right of the Speaker.
Garland Dupre got an aisle seat,
but so far from the Speaker that
he needs pair Of gold glasses,
yet the youngest member Of the
delegation has a better seat than
any of his colleagues except Mr..
Watkins.
The Mississppians Jared equal
ly bad with the exception of Rep
resentative Harrison. Mr.. With
erspoon literally was the "cyno-
sure" Of all eyes. Wearing his
hair and beard like the pictures
of Uncle Sam, the irreverent in
the galleries referred to him as
Uncle Sam until they learned his
name. He was the man toward
whom all the cartoonists directed
their gaze.-Picayune.

Enforce Rules
for Quarantine.
Health Department Will Pros
ecute Violation OF Pro-
tective Regulations.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2s.-Fol-
lowing the receipt of informa-
ton that the rules of the De
partment for tile maintenance
of quarantine were being VIC
lated in some localities, the
State Health Department has
organized a campaign of inves-
tigation and will prosecute
those who are guilty of infrac-
ton.
The rules and regulations of
the Health Department, which
were adopted by the Board of
Health in July, 1910, have the
sanction of the law, under the
act of Assembly authorizing
the Board to formulate reason.
able rules and regulations for
the protection of the public
health. The enforcement of
these rules, under the terms of
the act, devolves upon the 10.
cal Boards of Health and Com
mon wealth's Attorney.
In an effort to familiarize the
people with the nature OF the
regulations, the Health Depart
ment for some months refrained
from prosecuting those who
were accused of neglecting the
regulations; but when a test
case came up in Norfolk coun-
ty, the rules and regulations
were upheld and their violation
was punished at a jury trial.
