In Memoriam.

The transition Of darling little
Marie Elise Comeau, lovely and
bright little daughter of hr. and
Mrs. Jack Comeau of this CITY
overwhelmed an otherwise hap
py home at this joyous Yuletide
with grief and despair.
Scarcely five years have
elapsed since this bright and
charming little sprite came from
realms eternal to gladden. the
hearts Of loving parents and
now alas! too soon she has been
recalled to her heavenly home.
There from that house, not
made with hands, may she guide
their earthly pilgrimage, and
when they enter the life eternal
may their sorrow be changed to
everlasting joy. K.

THINGS HUMMING IN
MAMOU, The THIRTY
ING EVANGELINE
CITY.

At a meeting of the directors
of the Mamou ToWnsite Go. held
recently, they voted to declare a
dividend of IS per cent on all
the stock of the company.
This indicates that conditions
in the prairie country of what
once was the western portion of
the old Empire Parish" are
sound financially.
The promoters of the Mamou
ToWnsite Co. have in two years
converted a bald, open prairie
into a thriving and busy little
city, and they are to be eongrat-
ulated upon their achievement.
The Evangeline Bank & Trust
Co. will establish a branch of
their institution at Mamou early
in 1912.
The population of Mamou is
about 500.

PaFker's Love Of Republican Leads Him 10
Name Plantation Roosevelt"
MEETING AT SHREVEPORT
At Which North Louisiana Han Tells Why he
Is Supporting
Michel.

Michel.
Shreveport, Dec. 29.-On
Thursday night, December 18th,
speaking to the largest audience
that has assembled in Shreveport
during the present campaign
Senator T. G. Barrett, candidate
for Lieutenant Governor of
Louisiana unequiVocally endorsed
the candidacy Of John 7. Michel
for Governor. In referring to
Mr.. Michel Senator Barrett said:
Il saw him nominated for
secretary of state on this very
platform sixteen years ago, and
| have watched his faithful SER
vice in Office.
I've seen his door in the
Statehouse always open to young
men in the Legislature seeking
information.
I know the man, and if I did
not think him worthy Of the
position of governor, which he
now seeks, I would not be cam
paigning the state with him.
And while I am not a pro-
phet, nor the son of a prophet,
you will not be ashamed of the
VOTE CADDO WILL GIVE
MICHEL
for governor"
Mr.. Barrett spoke of his own
candidacy and suggested that he
believed his services in the Sen
ate deserved promotion. He re-
ferred to John NJ. Parker as the
greatest discoverer Of the age,
greater than the discoverer of
the electric light, or even 10 per
cent, for he had discovered both
Hall and Gueydan.
Why my friends, my friend,
Gueydan, in the same speech will
tell you of the great advance in
lands and our industrial develop
ment, and in the next breath he
tells you how the state is being
wrecked, ruined and destroyed"
MI. Barrett used effectively a
storehouse of good stories. He
told of what the Democratic
Party had done for Louisiana;
there is a schoolhouse on every
hill. In comparison to the work
of the stalwart Democratic lead
ers, the voters are asked TO fol
low the leadership of John M.
Parker, who voted for Taft and
would have voted for Roosevelt,
but he forgot to pay his poll tax.
But John evened that up by tax
ing Teddy on a bear hunt, and
then named his East Carroll
Parish plantation Roosevelt,
which is just across the river
from that town in Mississippi
where President Roosevelt in
sisted upon the white people
getting their mail from a negro
postmaster, or else he would
close up the Office, which he did.

TURKEYS NEED LARGE RANGE
Suitable for Rearing Nest For
Christmas Dinner.

For those persons in town who are
thinking Of raising turkey or two In
their back yards there IL trouble in
store. The back yard or pen is not
the place for . bird which refuses to
be domesticated. W. A. Lippincott.
head of the poultry department at the
Kansas Agricultural college. says.
The farm Is the place to raise tur-
keys. They must have q good range.
During the first few months 1t 10 bet
ter to give them NO grain. but let them
forage and eat bugs. II small turkeys
are cared for In this way. the fatality
will be much less.
Professor Lppincott suggests that

for allowing your birds to roam in his
pastures. Then, along about Thanks

weekly route between a Missouri
county seat town and a little post
office out at country store came

"Hurry?" Jimson repeated, why

"Oh, I see," the farmer replied.
"You want to get there in time to see
him."
Its not that that makes me hurry"
1T aint?"
mo, sir! You may not know it.
but this working for the government
is mighty ticklish business. and a
man has got to be awful careful, or
he'll lose his Job. Now suppose the
President gets off the train down
there and asks about me and ain't
there, and he finds out I'm late.
Don't you see, there'd be trouble right
off, and I might be asked to resign?"

To feel a hot breath Of air strike

to avoid him. stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
II. however. he Is q pugnactous

I'm the name Of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth. then depart

strange sounds. and whispers in the
midnight hours. you have only to put
in a new floor and he will do so no

Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep in through the crack of the door
in the wee small hours Of the night.
and. once inside. expand to vast pro-
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way. sow mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed, or place q sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering. the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds. and by this
time daylight will come and he will
have to go. AZ the counting for one
