THREE yEANERETTE GIRLS
WONT HUSBANDS.

The little city of Jeanerette, OH
the Southern Pacific line, west OF
NewOrleans, alone afforded a trio
of prospective brides to the mat
rimonial editor Of The Item Mon.
day. One, brunette, aged I'll
and the other semi-brunette,
aged Is, are both pleading almost
pathetically with The Item to
find them husbands. They con-
tribute joint letter.
"We are very anxious to enter
into the matrimonial state" be-
gins the letter. 81 am a bru-
nette and my initials are M. Il.
IT,, and / am Il years old.
my friend is Is years old, not
a decided brunette, and her
initials are T. F. r.
Widow Says She Fills the Bill.
Jeanerette is our birthplace,
and we can give good references.
1--WE want husbands of good
standing who can also give good
references and are able TO give
us good homes. They mus be
between the ages of % and 81. "
The third of the trio of Jeane-
rette applicants is seeking to get
in touch with the man who ad-
vertised last week for widow
for his wife. She states she can
fill the bill perfectly, she be-
lieves. The letter states:
81 just saw in The Item this
morning that a New Orleans man
wants to enter speedily into the
matrimonial slate with a widow
/ would like very much to corre-
spond with him.
81 am widow, aged %. My
husband has been dead two and
one-half years.
II am a brunette, five feet tall
and weigh 115 pounds.
81 have always resided at
Jeanerette. l can do any kind
Of work, and can give good ref
erences. If any letter meets
with that gentleman's approval

To grow watermelOns, pillow the
land well and run out burrows ten
feet apart. Fill them half full
of stable manure, and just before
planting add half ton of a
high-grade commercial fertilizer
an acre, and bed on this. Flat
ten the bed somewhat and drill
the seed literally all along the
bed. When a good stand is GER
tain, thin out to five feet apart,
and as the vines start to run seat
ter a tablespoonful Of nitrate OF
soda around each hill. Cultivate
well till the vines are in the way,
and as the melons set, now GRIM
son clover seed all over the plot.
Cantaloupes are grown in the
same way except the rows are SIX
feet apart and tn nned to TWEEN
ty inches. Use mostly sandy soil
for watermelons.-W. F. Massey,

I NEW POLITICAL SCHEME

Now it is claimed some schem'
ing politicians ale working up q
trick whereby they wish TO ger
rymander, the State. and Jump
parishes from one Congressional
district to another, through and
by which LeBourgeois and Guey'
dan would be eliminated from the
impending congressional fig Int by
putting LeBourgeois' parish, st.
James, in the Third. instead OF
the Second district and Guey-
dams Vermilion. in the Seventh
instead Of the Third, in which
district he is now a candidate, as
is LeBourgeoiis in the Second.
Both of these gentlemen feel out
ragged over the trick, but say
they have no fear that its origi-
majors will be able to carry 1t
out, because they do not believe
the Legislature will stand for
such an outrage.-Ex.

How many persons know what
happens when pint of gasoline
is left open in q roomf II the
temperature is normal the liquid
entirely evaporates in twenty
four hours. The vapor is heavier
than air, and therefore sinks to
the floor. Unless disturbed, It
will remain there for hours, and
by mixing with the air, form an
explosive compound about seven
times as powerful as gun powder.
One pint Of gasolin will make two
hundred cubic feet Of this COM
pound. It is not necessary that
a lighted match come in contact
with it. A spark struck by q
nail in a shoe will explode it. So
will a gas-jet. or even the en-
closed fire in the kitchen stove.
If it is necessary to use gasoline
in cleaning glove or other arti-
cles, there is only one safe place
to do the work. That is out
doors.-Colfax Chronicle.

Some Of the shortage in hogs
and cattle that is cited in expla-
nation of the high cost of meat
may be attributed to the rigid

off on the unsuspecting consumer
find their way to the discard in
