Governor Halls INAUGURATION.

From the Monroe independently
The ceremonies attending the Inaugural
ton of Judge Luther E. Hall as Governor
of Louisiana will be of conspicuous brilli-
ance and of widespread interest. The
occasion marks an epoch in the affairs of
this great State-an epoch in which the
people have come into their own when the
man of their choice is lifted by them into
the Chief Executives chair and they feel
that they are conquerors. There is a
buoyancy in the atmosphere already; the
future looks brighter; the spirits of the
people respond to a subtle, all-pervading
sensation of joy and of freedom; old un-
rest is giving away, and as the day draws
near, even renewed business activity
will be manifest.
The personnel of the crowds that will
assemble at the capitol for the Inaugural
ton will be widely different from the usual !;
it will number many unacquainted with
politics in any form, fresh-faced, clear
eyed, simple hearted folk that come from
the rank and file of the people-not to seek
favor, but to do honor to man whom
they followed with such loyalty; in whom
they believe so absolutely and look to so
confidently.
In spite of Governor Sanders refusal to
order out the military forces, as is custo-
mary, to take part in the ceremonies at
the Inauguration, it will be one of the most
brilliant occasions yet chronicled.
Monroe will send large and represen-
tative delegation to Baton Rouge on the
goth of May.

The late Mr.. Pulitzer's idea of the proper
function OF the modern newspaper is set
forth in the following paragraph:
''News is important-it is the very life
of paper. But what is life without a
character? What is the life of nation or
of an indidual without honor, without
heart and soul? Above knowledge, above
news, above intelligence, the heart and
soul of paper lie in it's moral sense, in
its courage, its integrity, its humanity,
its sympathy for the oppressed, its indie
pendence, its devotion to the public well
fare, its anxiety to render public SERVICE -
A country and its press will, to an ex-
tent, rise or fall together. An able, disin-
terested, public spirited press, with intel
ligence to know the right and courage to
do it, can preserve the public virtue with
out which popular government is sham.

THE VOICE OF THE FAN
What Its Effect is Upon Baseball
 Players

In the August American Magazine Hugh S Fullerton writes an article on the baseball fan. Following is an extract
 Tt is a magnificent crowd. wonder ful in it's spirit and in it's intense loyalty. There are few things that shake an opponent like the incessant get a hit get a hit which is the war song of the Sox rooters when they scent victory
 One of the most dramatic displays Of loyalty I ever saw was in 190I when the team, beaten and displaced from the championship, came home to close the season. They had gone away in high hopes, and failed. 1t was on Sunday, and as the defeated team marched down the field seN- enteen thousand men and women stood silent and uncovered for moment then broke into applause thar swept the stands. It is a small won der that a team backed always by such loyalty won even during years when it seemed much weaker than it's opponents
 T have heard opposing players de- clare that they would rdtner lace anything in the game than the grind ing roofing of the Chicago South Side fans The only duplicate I know is the rasping, nerve-racking, long Yale yell.
 Not all players are frank enough to admit that the roofing has any effect Indeed it is a common pose to pretend that they do not even hear. But they do. Even among themselves they pretend that they do not care: but once in a while they tell their inner feelings. They know that half of the men who quit the major leagues are driven out by the voice of the fan. 1 have seen men break and go all to pieces. rave and swear and abuse everyone after sui fering a cruel grilling by a crowd.
 Walter WilmOnt, one of Anson's famous old Chicago players. came to game on the old grounds fifteen years after retiring. He looked across toward the left field and said:

If an ordl nary goose neck hoe handle. the blade of which has been discarded. is at hand. 1t will make a very good handle for the garden hoe. but if not 1t is no big job to make handle. and a short piece of three-quarter inch pipe will make good ferule, and it's extra weight will be found of use when using the hoe. I have been using this hoe in my garden for some time and find 1t easy to dig deep and thoroughly cul tivate the plants. I hope that this re- hinder will cause many old thrown away buggy springs to be converted into useful tools instead of being al lowed to rust out

THE VALUE OF DAYTIME MAPS
Wise Mothers Will Encourage the
 Habit in Little Children.

Thousands of women are far too
 busy ever to think of taking a nap in
 the daytime. They would laugh at the
 suggestion were it made to them.
 When one tells these busy women that they are nervous and in need of repOse
 and that they may preserve their
 youth, strength and charm by taking
 regular rests by daylight, they shake their heads and smile with pity on the foolish advisers.
 There are a great many ifs that present themselves as obstacles of an insuperable nature when tired and busy women try to secure intervals of rest in the morning or afternoon Yet it is true that where there's will there's a way" Five minutes or ten minutes level rest on sofa will work wonders when one is weary, if only there is perfect relaxation from ten sion.
 The best choice for daytime nap varies with the individual. Sometimes it is well to select a half-hour before luncheon Food is more easily digested and assimilated when the body has had a period of rest than when one comes to the table with depleted brain tissue If the nervous energy has been very strongly taxed and is nearly eX- | hausted before eating, dyspepsia may be the resulting consequence. To lie down immediately after a meal is not 1 so good a plan as to delay doing so until an hour or more may have passed.
 Those who have the care of little l children ought to insist on their hay | ing time to sleep by daylight. The mother of a child not much over years old told a friend that she did not 1 allow her little daughter to take q nap | through the day becacuse she wanted 1 to put her to bed at o'clock and be sure ! that she would sleep all night. The l child was high strung and fretfut, thin i and palid, and though she slept all night as her mother wished, she was | neither rosy nor plump, nor yet good 1 humored during the day. The rapidly ] developing brain was not receiving its | proper amount of repose. Until child l is or years old the wise mother will | encourage the habit of lying down for a while every day in the dark. with l eyes shut whether sleep comes or | stays away.-From the Christian Her
 ald.
