MARDI GRAS
PRIZES.

Many inquiries have been made dur
ing the past two weeks, whether or
not The Herald would again this year
distribute Mardi Gras prizes on this
side of the river for the different char
acter of maskers. 1t was our inten.
ton to have the regular program this
year, but after consulting several of
our merchants and taking into consid-
GRAFTON the commercial conditions on
this side of the river during the past
three or four months, it was thought
advisable to have the people here fore
go the pleasure for this year. The Gus
tom, which has grown in popularity,
was greatly enjoyed and we regret
very much that the conditions prevent
offering the same thing this Mardi
Gras. However, it will again be con-
tinued next year. and, we trust, under
auspices quite different than those now
prevailing.

NAVAL STATION HAS A CHANCE

After a conference the Louisiana
delegation left in the hands of Repre-
sentative Estopinal the decision as to
what legislation should be pressed in
Congress for the retention of the New
Orleans Naval Station and the estab-
lishment of Notifications on the Mis-
sissippi. Developments with regard to
the HobsOn bill TO establish a council
of national defense will probably be
awaited before the campaign in behalf
of New Orleans is started.
Representative Estopinal laid be
fore his colleagues letters showing the
views of New Orleans citizens on the
subject and special attention was Civ
Ell the sentiment in favor of making
the contest of New Orleans separately
from the contests of other cities for
their naval stations.

SAD DEATH.

The sad and unfortunate death of
Gus V. Johnson, one of our most pop
ular young boys, which occurred on
Wednesday of last week, was not only
a great shock to his parents and close
friends, but to the community. Young
Johnson was a very popular young
man; his friends were limited to the
number of his acquaintances. Had
he lived until Feb. 18th he would have
reached the age of "a years. He has
been in the railroad business since
1910. being an employe of the Southern
Pacific Company. In writing up the
death of young Johnson one of the
daily newspapers referred to the death
as that of suicide or murder, and while
Mr. J. v Johnson, the father of the un,
fortunate boy, sent TO this paper a de

lieve her suffering. He supplied her
with appetizing food and at the risk Of
his life delivered messages to her
friends. During the long siege of her
trial he faithfully served her in every
manner, and when the Inquisition final
ly condemned her to death at the
stake he was h~eart-broken. The bish-
op of Beauvais ordered her Bible and
rosary to be destroyed, denying her
the consolation of religion, so far as
his power extended. Crushed and hui
inflated, she awaited her terrifying
fate. The keeper, at her request, pro-
cured a rosary from a sympathetic
priest, who was powerless to aid the
maid. She vas quite overcome by
the keepers devotion, and blessed him
many times.
Finally, the day set for the awful
event arrived and the innocent vic
tim of superstition was led forth from
her prison tower to pay the price of
her service to Charles VII. of France.

One afternoon, feeling rather tired
and hungry, after walking six miles,
we stopped at a farm cottage and pro-
wife, a typical belle of Normandy, was
most kind to US. She spread our feast
in the vine-clad summer house OF her
lovely garden.
In the distance we could plainly dis
tinguish the tower where Jeanne dare
was imprisoned for so many weary
months. Jack pityingly narrated a few
instances concerning her imprison-
ment which history fails to relate. In
the midst of his conversation, our
hostess disappeared. She returned,
however, almost Immediately, holding
in her hand a small box OF antique cop
per. Giving this to Jack, she request
ed him to examine its contents.
Upon opening the box he drew forth
a rosary, much discolored from age,
the beads being evidently Of ivory.
After murmuring a short prayer, she
gave us the history Of the rosary. One
of her ancestors was the keeper of
Jeanne dare during the period of i'm
prisonment at Rouen. He was de-
voted to this unfortunate maid, and
