had attained such prominence.
Don't tech en-" he commanded,
waving them off as he leaned grace
fully against the fence.

"I amt a-goin to charge little girls

Court Holds MclIhennys
Id No Right To Make
Circular T hreats.

Neu Orleans Daily States, Oct. ED, l9I2.
In a decision handed down Monday, the State
Supreme Court declared that circulars sent BY the
firm Of E A. Mellhenny's Sons to the eusrvm-
ers of business rival, setting forth the intention OF
the Mcllhenn,s to prosecute all dealers who used
the term "tabasco'' their sauce products, con-
stiruted business libel, and in as much as the Of
tending firm had no legal right to the exclusive use
of the trade term The court allowed the New
Iberia Extract of Tabasco Pepper Co., Ltd, which
brought the suit, s. 600 damages.
In commenting the case, Ju:tice Land, the
organ of the court, said:
"The right Of che defendants TO the exclusive
use of the word ''Tabasco" as a trade mark for
o. PIPER sauces, expired in 1887, with the patent Is
sued TO F. Mciihenny in 1870
The decision Of the Commissioner Of Patents,
affirmed BY the Court of Appeal, d. c., cancellin
the registration, in 1906, of defendants trade
mark ssrab,seo,' concludes them from asserting
legal right to the exclusive use of the word eta
basco," as descriptive of the pepper sauces made
by them.
CIRCULARS SENT OUT.
Where the plaintiff and the defendants, ni9o6,
were engaged in the manufacture OF "Iabasce
Pepper sauce in the parish and state, and the
PENDANTS sent ou circulars and letters to the Gus
TONERS Of the plaintiff, and to dealers generally,
asserting their legal right to use the trademark
.Tabasco," registered in the U. S. Patent Offce,
and declaring their purpose to institute legal pro-
ceedings against any dealer who might in the fu-
ture offer for sale under the name ''Tabasco pep
per sauces manufactured BY any person, firm OF
corporation other than E. Mcllhenny's Son;
held tina, such circulars and ktters constituted
: libel of the plaintiff in the way Of bis business
and further held, tina: the defense Of good faith
was not sustained by the evidence.
In the case of libel or SANDER Of person in the
way Of his trade substantial damages will be pre-
sumed, and a reasonable amount will be awarded
by the court or jury, without proof of special dam
ages. -
4 1t is, therefore, ordered that the judgment be-
low be reversed and II is now ordered that the
plaintiff do have and recover Of the defendants il
solido the sum of Eve thousand dollars, with lega
interest thereon from the date # that decree ane

GARDEN WORK FOR NOV
EMBER.
T.. J. Carstens.

What can l plant this month,
the question many are asking:
Months of September and part OF
October, hot and dry, has been
yerv unfavorable. Cabbage, beet,
turnip and nearly all vegetable
seeds sown have been destroyed
by insects.
As it is rather late to SOW,
seeds on a large scale, however
if the season is favorable, those
who are cultivating small gar
,]en can sow the following: AS
oaragus. Artichoke. Beet, Carrot,
Cabbage, Spinach, Mustard, Leek'
Radish, Kohlrabi, Lettuce, En-
dive, Rouquette, Parsley, Celery:
About the 18th all variety OF
cabbage can be sown for Spring,
seeds should he sown in frames
protected from the cold. The
following variety will form heads
in rotation: Early Jersey
Wakefield, Henderson Early Sum-
mer. Stems Early Flat Dutch,
Succession, All Season, Surehead.
The first cabbage to head is the
jersey Wakefield, it is very early
short stemmed head, cone shaped,
. reliable header, one of the best
sort for families, 70 to 80 days.
The next is the Henderson
Early Summer, head hard, few
outside leaves, weight 3 to D
lbs, can be planted close, fifteen
inches distant in line, rows two
feet apart. Heads about ten
DAYS. later than the Wakefield,
a very desirable variety for gard
eners, ninety days.
Then follows the Stems Early
Flat Dutch, IS days, Succession
he, Surehead ITO.
One of the best sort is the All
Season a sure header, forms solid
round head, stands all kind of
weather, does not burst early or
run into seed, the best all around
cabbage, 120 days.
If you will SOW seeds OF the
above named varieties fine cab
bage will be had in succession
during Spring.
Shallots should be devided and
set out. At the end Of the
month commence planting Mar
row-fat Peas and other late varie-
ties, early sorts should not be
planted before January.

DIAZ FALL SAID TO BE DUE
TO TREACHERY.

Treachery of the most pro-
nounced kind is the charge made
against General Joaquin Beltrar,
commanding the Mexican Federal
troops before Vera Cruz by po-
litical friends Of General Felix
Diaz, who arrived here from San
Antonio, Tex, last evening.
Nothing short Of absolute
treachery- is responsible for the
defeat of the Diaz forces at Vera
Cruz and the capture of General
Felix Diaz,'' was declared by
John Soto Fernadez, who is at the
Hotel Grunewald.
Juan Soto Fernandez, former
ly Of Chilhauhau, but recently OF
San Antonio, was one Of the gen.
tlemen who reached New Orleans
yesterday. Mr.. Fernandez de-
clared that he was in no way con-
nected with the revolution, but
owing to his sympathy with the
cause Of General Orozo, found it
expedient to leave Chihauhau for
the time after that city had been
retaken BY President Madero 3
troops. He then went to San An
tonic, where he has since resided.
when the Diaz. revolt was
raised my sympathies were Of

DODSON'S LIVER-TONE IN
STEAD OF CALONIEL.
Just as Sure-Always Safe NO
Bad Effects Ever Follow This
Pleasant Tasting Liquid.

As a remedy for a torpid liver
calomel has more than met its
match in Dodson's Liver-Tone.
It does not lash the liver on to
perform its work at the cost OF
its strength.
IS Calomef' depends for its power
upon Exciting the liver to do
more work, and often the liver
is too weak to stand such treat
ment, and you are worse off than
before.
Dodson' s Liver Tone canffot
cause any of the dangerous eff
fects that often follow the use
of calomel. 1t is entirely vege-
table and pleasant to the taste,
and is suitable for children and
grown people.
Get soc bottle at Taylor's
Drug Store under the guarantee
that if it doesn't satisfy you
that it is a perfect substitute for
calomel you get your money back.

oo,,rse with him." he SAID
"Ouite naturally great things
were expected of General REM
D;az and it was believed by an
Tho exiles in the San Antonio col
onv that he would be victorious
ond that within a month or two
would have relestablished ' law

erO. o;uo1
semi-officiaa and confidential ao-
vices that the Federals under uen-
oral Beltran would go over 10
General Diaz. We have every
reason to believe, without know
inc il officially, that General Bel,
tran had agreed to join Genera,
Diaz and together they would
march on Mexico City. We be.
]ieve that all arrangements nau
heen made to that end. it having
been agreed that there would, Tor
form sake, be show OF hghtlng'
after which Beltran would sur
render.
"What really happened, mo
me here can today say, for no one
knows. However, it Is certain
that Beltran promises were not
kept. that he proved a traitor to
his word"
Mr.. Fernandez declared that
everyone acquainted with the man
knows that General Diaz would
not have surrendered after such
a feeble show of resistance had ne
not been totally cut off from his
forces Or seen them wiped out
General Diaz would not have
raised the standard of revolt to
throw it down at the, first smell
of POWDER" he declared. There
is something behind it all and al
the present time, until more IN
formation is received, it looks "a
though Beltran is the traitor.
