As TO THROUGH SERVICE.

We understand that the Railroad Com
mission has granted the Texas & Pacific
Rail Road rehearing in the matter OF
the through service from the Arkansas
Louisiana line to New Orleans over the st.
Louis-Iron Mountain & Southern and
the Texas and Pacific Rail Roads, the
Texas q Pacific Railroad having applied
for the rehearing with the view of being
able TO convince the Commission that the
said service is not profitable to the Rail
Road Company and thereby get the per-
mission of the Commission to discontinue
the service. Taking into consideration
the discontinuence of all traffic on this
Road during the overflow, this through
service has not been in operation long
enough to have been given fair trial, in
fact II has not been given a fair trial, for
both the Iron Mountain and the Texas &
Pacific have appeared to give this through
service under protest and nothing has
has been done by either road to bring
the service to the attention of the travel
ing public or to make it popular.
With close connections with the east
and west bound trains of the v. S. & p.
Rail Road at Tallulah large part of the
travel to New Orleans from points along
the V. S. & P. would go over the Iron
Mountain and the Texas & Pacific, and
we feel certain that the service would
prove profitable. We doubt if any new
service has ever proven profitable unless
the Rail Road puts itself to little trouble
TO let the travelling public know what
the service is, and gives such service as
proves attractive to the public. Instead
OF the Rail Road Commission allowing
these roads TO discontinue this service,
they should if the Commission has the
power, be forced to give better service.
Better service is due the people OF this
section and we should have it, and under
no condition should should the Roads in
question be permitted to discontinue the
the only service that they have ever
given the people of this section that has
been of any convenience whatever. We
hope that all the people along the Iron
Mountain (river division) will file their
most serious protest with the Commission
and insist that this service be continued,
and when the matter is set for a hearing
delegations should be sent from each
parish and from each town to appear be-
fore the Commission and voice the earn
est protest of our people.

MISS eE0ReIE GOLDMAN.

Just as we go to press we learn
OF the sudden death of Miss George
Goldman. sister of Hon. G.. C.
Goldman, which occurred in New
Orleans this morning, while on a
visit to friends.
Miss Goldman was about go years
old and had made her home with
her brother in this parish the great
er part of her life. She was lady
OF many noble attributes of charac-
ter and was universally beloved by
a large circle of friends. Her re-
mains will be brought to Tensas for
interment.
In common with their many
friends the Gazette extends sincere
sympathy to the family.

The Gazette promised its readers
last week to include supplement
to-day, to enable us to give more
reading matter. We are unable to
keep our promise in this respect due
to non-arrival Of paper for the sup
pliment. Same was ordered but has
not yet been received. We will GER
tainly have same in readiness for
next week. We regret this omission
especially on account of the paper,
The Tattler,' edited by the pu-
pills OF the st. Joseph High School.
The manuscript for this edition of
The Taller" was handed in on
Friday and set up in type, making
practically two columns, and we
are sorry to have to disappoint the
children by its non-appearance.
However, they can expect it all
next week.

CHAPTER XXI.
I Speak to Her Father.

So glad to see you here, my boy" the judge was saying. And his little round face beamed at me across the library table. I had encountered him in the hall just as had descended to rejoin the girls in the living-room. Forthwith. he elbowed me into the IT, brary.
 Know from Jack how glad you d. ways are to escape girls he re marked cheerily as he produced cig- ars. Don't blame you at all-in fact, do you know it refreshes me to find"
 Don't know what dashed thing 1t refreshed him to find, for l never caught it For just then through the doorway there fioated, from across the hall, a bar of musie-the laugh Of the dearest girl in the world
 strained for another bar.
 "Hahi" calculated the judge, paus- ing with questioning uplift of cigar. The silly cackle of those girls--it disturbs you. Yes, it does-I can see it-you look disturbed" And. dash 1t, he insisted upon closing the door. You mustn't let them bother you while you are here" he urged pleas antly; you must just go ahead and do the thing you want to do."
 By love, there seemed little oppor- tunity for it.
 Thanks awfully." l murmured feebly.
 The judge proceeded genially: "Of course We all understand that you Just came up to Wolhurst to please Jack" Then his face clouded. Him! Sorry to learn that he came home with another" his eyes rolled through a circle-"er-is not feeling just fit It's too bad. for wanted some one to take you over the neighborhood-in- teresting landmarks, you know, rem iniscent of Major Andre and Washing ton Irving"

 When l found and took them away. l was curious and amused, but skep- tical-firmly skeptical-of there be- ing any dark mystery about them. But now l know l let myself be deceived and l mean to get at the bottom of the whole thing"
 Wilkes seemed to kind of waver and fade before me, and then go out like candle. Then he came back into view, and heard his voice again:
 And what's more. you tell him | say"
 The butler hesitated and seemed embarrassed-nis heavy fowls red dened little. He looked beyond me and coughed.

 Oh, go on!" I breathed miserably

Springs In Their Brains.

Two Frenchmen, in visiting an art gallery, stopped to admire a painting by an American. The artist happened to be in the gallery and in broken English one of the Frenchmen asked :: How did monsieur ever catch such a wonderful picture?"
 "O,' replied the artist. with a far away look, that painting was an of. spring of my brain"
 The other Frenchman was greatly interested and asked his friend what that American had said.
 T can hardly explain" whispered the first Frenehman excitedly; he said ze picture was one spring of of his brain, Ees eet any wonder zat ze Americans act queerly when they have springs on their brains"
