RANsDELL's YOUNG MANAGERS

The Picayune comments upon the
youth Of Congressman Ransdell's
campaign manager in the recent
race, Mr.. J. S. Y. Fauntleroy and the
latter's even more youthful assistant,
Mr.. Joseph Montgomery. The bril-
liant success with which their efforts
were signalized is notable, as Mr.
Ransdell had greater odds to contend
with than any other candidate. He
had no affiliations and took no con-
tributions to his expense fund, be-
sides running against supposedly the
most astute politician in the State.
Mr.. Fauntleroy laid out plans for
that campaign, and it is told, that
Mr.. Ransdell followed them. Mr..
Fauntleroy is the son of the Rev. T.

X. Fauntleroy, one Of the most saint
ly, yet Virile of Methodist preachers,
and one of the most well-known men
of his denomination in the state. Mr..
Montgomery is a nephew Of Mr..
Ransdell, and a student at Tulane
Law School. Some of the best of
the "Ransdell literature" came from
his pen. One pamphlet was so par
ticularly striking, that the present
writer wished to know who got it
up, and was amazed to find that not
some old head and hand had done
so, but the boyish, courteous young
fellow, who helped to dispense the
Inequalities and conduct the business
at the Ransdell headquarters.

MARYMAN.DANlEL WEDDING.

At high noon, Wednesday, the day
of St. Valentine, Mr.. Walter S
Maryman and Miss Mamie Danie
were married at Elm Park, the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs
M. J. Daniel, The marriage was wit
messed only by near relatives and
close friends of the young couple
and even this limitation made the
wedding guests large in number. The
home was tastefully decorated, but
nothing ornate was attempted, al
though as an only daughter the fam.
lily love is centered upon the bride.
The ceremony was performed by the
pastor, Rev. 8. L. Riggs. The bride
wore a navy blue tailored suit with
a becoming hat to match.
After the ceremony, an elegant
dinner was served. The young cou-
pie received a large number of pres
ents not to mention innumerable
good wishes from the friends with
whom they are so justly popular.
They will reside with the brides par
ents, who could not otherwise con.
sent to give up, not even to the de-
voted lover to whom she has pied
ged her bridal troth.

ried at two o'clock Thursday after.
noon, Feb. Is, the Rev. Henry Van
GrinSven officiating. The ceremony
took place at the home of Mr.. and

flowers and maiden-hair fern. The
happy couples health was drunk in
punch and champagne, after which
they took their departure on the af-
tern0on train, ostensibly for New Or
leans, but after the wise way OF mod
ern married lovers, kept their plans
to themselves. They did not escaped
a plentiful shower of rice from
friends, who hastily gathered at the
L. R. & N. station, as the news rap-|
idly spread through town that the
match so long guessed at was indeed
an accomplished fact.
Both Capt. and Mrs. Howell are
prominent socially, and their union
is subject Of affectionate interest
to a large circle of friends, who
wish for them all happiness and
Their plans are as yet
undecided, but they will

LET GEORGE DO 1T.

The public school teachers not
seeming to have enough to do, in
the opinion of the benevolent CO de-
spotism at Baton Rouge, blanks are
now furnished them to fill out with
various and sundry data concerning
the age, nationality, etc. of each pu-
pill. These vital statistics are GER
tainly important, and doubtless the
teachers, in lieu Of paid enumerators
are best circumstanced to compile
them.But this doesn't alter the fact
that all of these disagreeable jobs
fall upon the teachers, young girls
who for the most part should be rest
ing after school duties, rather than
having any outside work to do. They
are the present day exemplification
Of Let George do it."

SMITH-TEMPEL WEDDING.

A large number of friends gather
ed in Grace Church, Wednesday ev
ening to witness the marriage of Mr.
William McKowen Smith and Miss
Mabel Ross Tempel, second daugh
ter of Mr.. John @. Tempel. The
chancel was tastefully adorned with
greenery in vine and plant, while
over the spot where the final VOWS

wedding rings tied together with
white ribbon.
When Mrs. o. Leonard, the organ
ist, sounded the wedding march, the
handsome young bridegroom appear

best man, Mr.. Graham Tempel, and
at the same moment, the great doors
of the church were thrown open and
the brides party entered the edifice
First appeared the brides sister and
bridesmaid, Miss Anna D. Tempel,
walking alone, followed by the maid
of honor, Miss Elvira Tempel. Both
girls wore sweet and dainty gowns Of
white lingerie cloth, elaborated with
val lace, over slips of primrose satin,
with girdles of the same shade. They
carried sheaf bouquets Of yellow
roess and asparagus fern.
The bride and her father came next
and moved forward to the chancel
steps. The young bride wore the
daintiest of dainty gowns, girlishly
made of white lingerie cloth with
yoke and bertha of real lace, the
handiwork Of her aunt and second
mother, Mrs. Rosina Tempel, with
whom the two Older sisters have
made their home since the death of
their own mother. The bride carried
a bouquet of snoWdrops and aspara-
gus ferns, and about her fell the
graceful fleecy folds of her bridal
veil of Illusion.
After the ceremony at the church,

THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THE
TEACHER.

Occasionally, even in the editor
limited social relaxation, she hear
it spoken of as a joke that the dali,
marking, or in fact any special sys
tenn of marking by the teachers i.
not insisted upon by 1.-The powers
that be- over them, for fear it ma,
be a restraint upon the individuality
! Of the teacher! And this is said il
all apparent although G.
to said that he did not see how one
augur could look in the face of an
other augur without laughing. If Ca
to lived in Louisiana to-day he would
substitute Mr.. Aswell's word, "edu'
cationist," for augur. The "educa
tionists" must exercise strong self,
control in not laughing at themselves
when they talk of not suppressing the
individuality of the teacher, when
they know that the constant tenden-
cy is to make the manner of teach
ing entirely uniform, and if a teach
er shows any individuality, or better,
originality, any superintendent will
not shield the teacher if her meth
DDS are criticized, but will say sheer
ingly as the writer has heard fire.
quently: THAT is her way. She
was not taught to do that way" The
whole system of teaching is Procrus-
team. If a teacher in method is too
long they cut her down to fit, and
if too short, she must submit to
stretching. The just right kind are
those who best initiate the methods
approved by the Louisiana Procrus-
tes. Individuality! Well if the "ed-
ucationists" don't laugh, neither do
their victims the teachers, but every
body else does.
Another form of the same joke was
offered by the parish superintendent
when he gravely adduced for the edi-
fication of the School Board, the oplrf
ions of fellow "educationists" as to
the propriety of marking pupils daily.
For all of them echoed the expected
mo" 1t reminded the irreverent
who cannot be persuaded that the
know it all, of a form
er instance when interested judges
did not recuse themselves. In like
manner these "educatiOnists' are
united by a strange telepathy. LII
you step on the toe Of one in West
Feliciana a squeal is heard in North
Louisiana, and as surely as you|
tweak an ear in the country, a groWl
proceeds from Baton Rouge. Whatl
evidence then can there be of freet
opinion when the caucus has already
taken action?
And these people talk OF the lndl'
viduality of the teacher! They havel
not even a saving sense OF humof.
