"Learn While You Earn"

Abraham Lincoln would split rails all
day in the forest and then after his days
work was finished, would walk five miles
to borrow book to study and improve
himself. It is said of George Washington
that in answer to question of his mother
as to why he studied so late at night, re-
piled that he was working out the destiny
of his country.
There are hundreds of young people to-
day who are DESTROYS of gaining practi-
cal education, but for one reason or
another they cannot leave home to secure
it, so they drag along from one year to the
next in the same old rut. There are
hundreds of others who are availing them
selves of the opportunity offered by the
correspondence department OF our college,
saving their leisure moments and investing
them in an education that will mean
thousands of dollars to them in the coming
years.
You may say that you are not able to
take course, but the person who can least
afford it is the one who needs it most and
should have it by all means at any sacri-
flee. It don't cost much.
Young friend, why not take advantage
of this opportunity and gain business
education by using your moments that
would otherwise be wasted? Why not
spend an hour of the long winter evenings
after nightfall qualifying yourself with q
knowledge Of the famous Byrne Symplified
Shorthand, Practical Bookkeeping, Type
writing, Arithmetic, Grammar, Writing
and Telegraphy, for which the business
world will pay you cash?

lost an arm while firing salute in honor
of Governor Sanders at the opening of the
State Fair at Shreveport, has been given
a pension of $50 per month, on the ap-

Franklin Waterman: John Michel,
who has committed more outrages against
the public interest than any other man
outside prison walls, is cheeky, indeed, to
present himself and ask for the highest
office within the gift of the people of Lou
isiana, and while he has some support
among the official family, it would be an
outrage upon public justice if he manages
to get to the Executive Mansion. The
bosses of New Orleans are backing him
with all their energy, because if either
Aswell or Judge Hall are successful, their
occupation will be gone. They will have
to find another job, where so many hours
of effort are required for so many dollars

Naturs,s Limitations.

Beauty, service and right living, all are taught by nature. But nature has no pity for your tears. Violate her laws and suffer, while the birds go on singing and the sun shines on as before. Tn your great sorrow nature laughs on She offers no solaee, she has no answer to your prayers. The mountain pours forth it's molten fire and ashes, the people run from their cities, crying to be saved, but nature needs them not. The storm lashes the sea to foam, the ship is engulfed; the sailors cry out but nature has no an swer for their prayers.
 Nature has no heaven for your heart The end of nature is the tomb. As the tree falleth so endeth life in natures gospel The star flashes out in un- usual brilliance and then goes out into eternal darkness.
 I have pointed out natures riches and natures limitations. There still remains the sphere which nature does not touch-the void into which we reach as a child reaches out in the night. Nature has no gospel of im- mortality, That was left to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 christ's Gospel
 Nothing in Christ's gospel denies beauty, so apparent in nature. Ma ture gives service but you must com pei nature to serve you. Christ is ever willing and waiting to serve you. Christ, too, has taught the gospel of right living, ever doing good, living example of his teachings. Nature has no pity for our tears. Jesus stands with the sorrowing. His tears min gle with theirs. He had pity for the fallen, the unfortunate How many times has he stopped to help the blind to minister to the sick. He taught us to pray-he answers our prayers. But the cries of the blind, the anguish of the despairing, bring no answer from nature.
 Natures gospel-Keep my laws and prosper; break them and suffer. There is no forgiveness. Christ stands ever ready to forgive. Father, forgive them; they know not what they do." His 1 forgiveness comes thus even unsought by virtue of his divine goodness and power. The vilest sinner may be rais- ed, and saved by virtue of Gods great l power and mercy through Jesus Christ who came to work among men, teach ing the gospel of forgiveness and ol | the home beyond the grave.

CONSTABLE STANTON SHOWS
 FATHERLY BENEVOLENCE
Distributes Doughnuts and MoIasses Cookies to Brood of Five With Hap py Results.

Five little colered children, ranging in age from one year through two years, five, seven and nine. deserted by father and then by mother, found paternal benevolence oRerfiOwing in the breast of Constable George H. Stanton on Sunday afternoon. From Captain Twomey at police headquar- ters the constable received word that George Johnson, colored. of Talman street, had abandoned his family and he went to investigate. A week ago Johnson was warned out of the Mar kow house, which he has been occu- pying, and evidently he went, but without his wife and five innocents. When he reached the house Sunday afternoon Constable Stanton found the children. with absolute freedom from care, playing outside the house. They told him that their mother had gone to Westerly in the morning and they further stated that they had had nothing to eat since Saturday after noon. Then the constable did the act of the good samaritan. He straight way departed and returned with two dozen doughnuts and aliberal supply of molasses cookies and he says the two-year-old bit into 8 cookie with as much avidity as the youngster at the other end of the line. The littIest one gummed a deughnut. He left them alone with their booty and up to press time there had been no hurry call for an ambulance in that vicinity.
 Today Constable Stanton will visit the United Workers and see that the motherless brood of five are taken un- der another wing.

NO ILLUMINATION
 AT NEW LONDON New York Yacht Club Postponed the Display for Newport.

New London, Aug 11.-The New York Yacht club fleet failed to illumi- nate Friday night the way 1t does us- ually in New London harbor All the illumination was left to be done at Newport and people, who went along the water front for the purpose of wit messing the spectacle of gaily lighted fleet, were disappointed. The anchor lights, cabin lights and rows of dead lights below them presented a picture that strangers admired, but natives said was not up to snuff.
 The yachts got away in smoky" weather for the 40 mile run to New port Saturday. The weather was not thick enough to prevent any of the sailing masters or bridge navigatorE from seeing the courses. but the slight haze which hung over the water made 1t too muggy for comfort. The start ing of the fleet came at 10 o'clock and at 12 the harbor was deserted except for few small yachts which had not followed the cruise.

CHICAGO PASTOR
 AT CENTRAL BAPTIST
The Gospel of Nature Vs. Gospel of
 Christ-A Scholarly Sermon.

At the Central Baptist church Sun day evening. Rev. Smith T. Ford, DID,, of Chicago, conducted the services, taking as the subject of his sermon, The gospel of nature vs. the gospel of Jesus Christ" He said in part:
 This Is pre- eminently an age of na- ture study. As our civilized life is growing more and more complicated there is a tendency in the heart to re- vert to nature, to visit the sea, the mountains, the open country. We are going back again to hear the birds songs and to see the flowers, surpass- ing in their beauty the glory of Solo mon. Scientists are making remarka- ble progress in the study of nature. Tn this age of study and interpretation of nature there has grown up a feel ing that the light and language of na- ture Is all we need. But the gospel of nature Is not adequate to all our needs. The light of nature Is not bright enough to satisfy all our desires.
 The Beauty of Nature.
 The gospel of nature Is 8 gospel ef beauty, The perfect snewfakes, the blossoms that i'll the air with fra= granee, the music of the spheres, the hafmenies of the air, the heavens, the fields, all shew natures beauties,
