through a lengthy cross-examina-
ton by Mr.. Henderson and lost her
temper at times.
Mr.. Perry Chapman followed
his wife as a witness. He said
that Dye spent the evening before
the fire at his house and left to go
home between 10 and IL o'clock.
He also swore that when he saw
Roy Primeaux at the fire he did
not have on coat. hat, vest or
necktie and that his shirt was
open at the neck. While at the
fire Mrs Primeaux gave him a
coat to give to Roy and that he
gave it to him. He said Roy was
very wet at the time and he
advised him to go home. He saw
Roy leave the street but could
not say whether he went home or
not. After the fire was under
control, he and Mrs. Chapman
went to Dyes house and found
him in bed. They remained there
a few minutes and then went home.
Mr.. Chapman swore that Dye
did not own a brace and bits
before the fire and that he bor-
rowed a brace and bits when he
wanted to use them. He bought a
brace and bit sometime last
August. He was being questioned
by Judge King when this report
closed.

new EXPERIMENT BY
SOUTHERN PACIFIC ca

Special provisions for taking
care of babies and their mothers
upon arrival at railroad station
is the latest experiment that is
being tried by the Southern Pacific
company at its Sacramento Cali
fornia depot.
The idea is only an experiment
and it at the suggestion of one of
the patrons Of he Southern Pacific
company.
A special room has been fur
nished for his p urpose just off the
main waiting room of the depot and
two women attendants practical
nurses are, al ways present to look
out for the nee DIS of the women
travellers who have their infants
with them. Couches have been
provided for the convenience of
the mothers and number of
specially constructed cots for the
babies have been installed.
In this manner when a woman
traveller with baby is compelled to
wait in the depot for her train or
for those who should meet her at
the station she is provided with
ell the comforts she would have in
her own home. The nurses in
charge of the room prepare a be d
for the mother and they are
allowed to rest for as long a time
as may be necessary. Apparatus
is to he installed TO facilitate the
heating Of the food for the infants
and if the experiment proves to
be success it is possible that it
may be extea1ed by the Southern
Pacific company to all of its
principal stations
The idea is not original with the
officials of the company. 1t was
offered by woman traveller and is
being experimental with, as are
all suggestions that are offered in
this way if they appear to the
Off Gals to be practicable.

DISTRICT COURT

Miss Edna Hart and Mrs. Trem-
bath were called and testified to
the clothing worn by MIR. and Mrs.
Roy PrimeauX at the fire. The
evidence of these ladies directly
contracdicted that given by the
states witnesses Oh the same point.
All of them testified that Roy wore
white shirt, opened at the neck
and dark pair of trousers. All of
them said he was without coat,
vest or necktie when they first saw
him at the fire. He afterward
came to where they and his wife
were standing and asked her to go
after his coat. These ladies all
swore that Mrs. Primeaux wore a
long. dark coat and that it was
closely buttoned. They also said
that when Roy asked his wife to
get his coat his shirt and pants
were wet. Also that at the time
they saw Roy and Mrs. Primeaux
they did not see any of the ladies
that testified for the state.
Mrs. Roy PrimeauX was the
next witness. She testified that
the day before the fire Roy
brought the hose cart to the house
and flushed the sewer.
That on the evening before the
fire she went to the PrimeauX
store and remained there until
about o'clock when she and Roy
went home. That they retired
shortly after reaching home. That
she was not we'll that night and
was up twice before she was
awakened by the cry of fire. Roy
was asleep at the time and had not
left the house after reaching there
with her. She ran out into the
street in her night clothes and saw
there was fire and Weakened Roy.
AS she was going into the house
she met Roy coming out. He had
on his night Shirt, pair of
trousers and shoes. He wore no
hat. coat or vest. She put on Roy S
shoes, skirt and her coat over
her night dress and went to the
fire. After she had been there
awhile. Roy asked her to go after
his coat. She went and got it.
He was very vet at the time and it
was quite cold. After the fire
was under control, she and Roy
went home dressed themselves anO
returned to the fire. She idcnti-
fed the night shirt and trousers
worn by Roy at the fire and they
were introduced in evidence. Mr..
A. Primeaux dressed himself as
usual the night of the fire and went
to his store.
Mrs. Primeaux was still under
direct examination when the
recess. was taken until this
morning.
When cOurt convened this morn
ing, Mrs. Roy Primcaux was asked
few questions on direct OK ANNA
ton and was then crOss-exam incd
by Mr.. Levers. She was taken
over the ground covered ny her
direct examination several times,
but stuck closely to her story. The
cross-cxaminatiOn was thorough
but she never lost her self control.
The writer listened closely to her
evidence from beginning to end
and so far as he could see she told
truthful story.
During her ss-examinatioE
her five-month's old baby made
his wants kLJw in very loud tones
and she was excused from the
witness stand to care for it.
Another evidence that the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the
world.

Senator Rarret of CaddO.

Guardian Journal: Senator Bar
ret of Caddo, candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, is nice man and a
splendid good citizen, but it is not
ones private life SO much as his
views on public issues that count
when he becomes candidate. Sen
ator Barret excuses himself for vot-
ling for Judge Thornton because of
the latter's high character. Judge
Thornton's character is all right,
but as a Democratic senator his
views on public questions are not in
keeping with Democratic doctrine.
Senator Thornton's position on the
tariff is in keeping with the stand
pat Republicans. He stated that he
regretted to see the tariff taken off
Iof lumber and woolen goods. We are
surprised to know that Mr.. Barret
has espoused the cause of the pro-
tective tariff party. When did the
senator flop? Or if he has not
! lflopped, what are his views on the
tissues that divide the two great po-
litical parties?"
When Senator Barrett cast his
vote for Judge Thornton in the Gen.
leral Assembly of Louisiana con-
lvened for the election of successor
| to Senator McEnery, it was gener-
ALLY believed that Judge Thornton
was a thoroughbred, sway-back
and yard-wide and all-wool Demo-
Icrat," but since then he has devel-
| Ioped into a near-Republican and has
voted with Republicans in opposi-
| ton to his Democratic colleagues on
| the issue of tariff.
II would seem unfair to strive to
hold to account any member OF the
Legislature who voted for Judge
Thornton, who, in aligning himself
on tariff issues with the Republi-
cans, has disappointed his Demo-
lcratic friends.
Equally unfair is the attempt to
place Senator Barret in a question
able attitude on the tariff, but he
lean make his position plain if so in
clined, through the Guardian Jour-
Inal.

Blushing Bride of 63 Elopes with

Cincinnati, o., Aug. 23.-Old age

after trying struggle for months
he Tuesday succeeded in putting a

Bronek, aged 78 years, and Mrs.
Elizabeth Wolf Hansemann, aged 63

The aged groom and his bride were
married in Lawrenceburg, Ind, 20
miles west. of here, to which place
they eloped to evade their friends,
who had an inkling of the coming
event. When the groom-to-be was
asked by the county clerk for his
license fee he rendered 500 bill in
payment, but the clerk could moi
change it. The elderly man then
fished about in a roll of bills for a
moment and found $50 note, which
was quickly changed. He told the
clerk he was a wealthy real estate
owner in Kentucky.

Discuss Issues; Ignore Personalities


If the candidates for governor
were to discuss the issues that di-
vide the people and not spend SO
much time at looking up little per-
sGnal matters, the people would be
better prepared to make a selection
from the three when the time
cOmes.-Guardian Journal.
Abuse and villification do not ed
ify nor convince the average voter.
The candidate for governor or for
any political office who can not con-
fine himself to legitimate criticism
should be ignored.
As we have reached the stage Of
reason, the candidate who will pre-
sent intelligently and fairly the is
sues which concern all the people
has the greatest certainty OF success
over the one who indulges unneces-
sarily in TRADES and slanderous pre-
sentations of his opponent.
Fortunately the great body of the
people possess the faculty of dis
cernment which is reached with
calm deliberation, even after being
moved, perhaps, by some exhorta-
ton which appeals more to preju-
dice than to good common sense.

Keeping Friends.

Be friendly.
Be sociable.
Don't impose on your neighbors.
If you borrow anything be sure to
return it.
If your neighbor's hogs get into
your field, fix your fence.
If your neighbor's dog needs kill
inc, let him do it.
Don't expect your neighbor to dc
more for you than you are willing
to do for him.
Train your children to behave
themselves when you go visiting.
Don't visit twice to your neigh
boris once.
If you are aware that your neigh
hor needs assistance, don't wait fol
him to ask for it.
Don't cheat your neighbor anG
then expect him to love you.
Fact is, it is an easy matter tt
make friends. but there is a fin ar
in keeping them. Keeping some peo-
pie friendly is just like keepin;
fresh meat in the summer time.
Dent try to force yourself on peo
pie who think themselves above 20,
but be sure not to talk about them
You can safely bet that the man O
woman who is always talking abou
somebody has no real friends.
