 This was very nicely served by the Ladies' Social circle of the Second Con- gregational church.

Woodstock with brief but very eftee- tive speech presented pr. Gildersleeve with a purse of money. Mrs. George Williams of Dudley, president of L'Apres Nidi Club, with words of fare we'll expressing the Clubs sorrow at Mrs. Gildersleeve's leaving gracefully presented her a large bouquet of earna- tions from the Club. Mrs. Cleveland rendered another solo and generously responded to an encore. Dr. Seldon R. Overlook of Pomfret then spoke in be- half of the medical profession of Wind ham County, he touched upon his intimate relations with Dr. Glider sleeve and the position pr. Gildersleeve holds in the town as 8 physician and among his medical brethern and of his long service at Day Kimball hospital. Doctor Overlook was at his best and told several amusing and witty stories; his speech was received with much applause. Rev. Mir Turner spoke feel ingly of pr. Gildersleeve as personal physician and friend, paying high tribute to his skill. He also spoke of the sorrow in the community over Mrs. Gildersleeve's going, of her faith full work in the church and Sunday school and the many friendships she had made here. Then in behalf of friends present, presented then with another purse of money. The entire amount presented was over one hun dred dollars.
 To the great grief of the committee and disappointment of the large audi ence present, the speech of Mr. George NJ. Sampson, chairman of the Board of Education, was omitted. To com- mittee greatly regrets that this mis- take was unwittingly made as MT. Sampson has been associated with Dr. Gildersleeve on the Board ever since the death of the late lamented Dr. A. E. Brunn. Mir. Sampson knows, as no one else, excepting possibly the other member of the Board, MT. John M. Perrin and Supervisor C. k. Pratt, of the immense amount of time and strength that has been given to the |ywork by the Board for the betterment Of educational interests In the town of Woodstock and of the success that has attained their effort.
 Dr. Gildersleeve though much over come, made brief speech expressing his heartfelt thanks to his friends for their presence, their kindly words, and their generous gifts. hrs. Gildersleeve spoke gracefully, thanking L'Apres | Midi Club for their gift and her friends for their kindness.
 The committee in charge of the affair were Rev. and Mrs. Turner, Mir. and
 Mrs. l.. H. Linderman, MT. and Mrs. c. A. Wetherell. They areto be con- l graduated on planning and carrying | out such pleasing and successful affair.
 Monday afternoon, Mrs. Ezra May | entertained the Reading Club and
 Mrs. Gildersleeve was presented with a picture "Castle Angelo, in memory of Italian History, which the Club 1 have been reading. Mrs. May served dainty refreshments. Eight ladies were present.
 Mrs. Gildersleeve's Sunday school class have given her beautifully framed photograph of a Woodstock
 
 scene by MT. E. R. Rollins.

FAMILY LONGEVITY.

A few days ago, Mr.. Stork de-
livered one Of his precious pack
ages al the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert PessOn. The advent of
the young gentleman, not only
confers the title of parent upon
two worthy representatives OF
our best Creole element but adds
new dignity to our good friend,
Mr.. Louis Pesson and to the gen.
ial, lobe Boutte, the proud grand
fathers. A fact worth recording
in this connection is that the child
comes into this world with pros
poets OF long and useful career,
if family longevity and accomp-
lishments are to be accounted.
His ase endants are, on the pater-
nal sid Father, Robert Pesson /;
grand ather, Louis Pesson; great
grand father, Gustav Pesson !;
great-g .eat-grand father, Louis
Delcam ore. On the material side:
Mother, formally Miss Boutte !;
grand father, Hardy Boutte /;
great grand father, Dartier Dar-
tss; great-great-grand father, De-
sire Broussard.
That he may live to attain the
age of his great-great- grand sires;
and that he may emulate the ex-
amples set by all his forbears is
the bes, wish that we may offer
to his nappv parents.

We notice the citizens of La

We notice the citizens of La
fayette and even the small town
of Jennings are petitioning the
Cumberland Telephone Company
to change their somewhat an
tiquated system, as we have In
New Iberia to that of fashlight
as exists in Lake Charles, Alex
andria, Monroe, Shreveport and
other towns in Louisiana at the
present time. Would it not be a
wise thing for our business men
to get together and make a bid
for the new system that would
give much better satisfaction to
the users Of telephones, doing
away entirely with so much ring
ing and unnecessary delays in Sc
curing communication with one
another, the difference in cost
being so small. AT present the
charge fer residence phones are
$1.65 per month and, the flashing
system costing only 35c addition
al, while the business houses
would be taxed only 75c extra
for the service. To make a
change in New iberia from one
system to the other would entail
an outlay Of about $4O,O 900 on the
part of the Company, every box
now in use would necessarily have
to be discarded, the only part OF
the fixtures that would not re-
quire a complete change would be
the cables, all Of the present wiz
ing would also have to be removed
at great expense to the Com
pany. Were a concerted move
ment started here petitioning the
Company to make a change to the
fashlight system we believe they
would entertain it as they have
elsewhere.

DIR. T. R Gayle had the mis-
fortune this week of losing one
of his best hunting dogs with that
dreaded disease known as Rabies
or Hydrophbia. 1t is not known
Just when he was bitten by
another rabied animal, but his
unusual manner and increased
desire to bite, led DR.. Gayle to
regard him with suspicion and
had him removed to the Hospital
of Drs. Goodwin & Plapper,
where the animal was Gagged for
observation. The disease devel-,'
oped very 3Mpidlv into the "fur-
ious' form, the dog biting and
gnawing at the wire cage and
chain with utter indifference to.
his surroundings. The paralytic
form quickly followed and death
took place shortly after. For
tunately for the owner, the ami
NAL had not bitten any members
of his family, but four other dogs
havd been bitten including one
of his own. This animal was also
removed to the Veterinary Hos
pital, and we understand that
DR.. Gayle has arranged with Drs.-i
Goodwin & Plapper to apply'tResi
Anti rRabic Treatment. as he is
particularly anxious to save this
one. Since it. seems that this dis
ease is in our midst. it might be
well to mention that the very
worst thing to do is to destroy
an animal which has bitten a per-
son or another animal until It is
certain that Rabies is present.
Tie or cage the dog Or cat for six
or seven days and if no symp-
toms develop, it his reasonably

SPEEDING.

During the past few weeks some of
the local speed maniacs have become
extremely careless with their new buzz
wagons and serious accidents have
been narrowly ayerted
In some cities it is necessary that a
child or elderly person be injured be-
ore these dangers are taken in hand
by the city authorities. On Tuesday
morning, at the corner of Kelly ave-
nue. and Fourth street, what has be-
come the most dangerous corner in the
city, especially on Saturdays and in
the evening, a brakeman on the Great
Northern escaped serious injury by
merely a hairs breadth. A suit case
which he was carrying was knocked
under the car and he was struck by
the mud guard. But this is only one
of the many narrow escapes which
have occurred within very short
time, and it stands to reason that the
police, if Devils Lake can boast of any
such organization, should take these
speed artists in hand and make them
"be good So
Let us hope it viii not be necessary
for Devils Lake to be the scene of a
severe automobile accident before the
authorities will take this matter in
hand.
