True Honesty

ITO be honest is more than TO re-
frain from stealing another mans
purse. more than paying the exact
number OF dollars you owe. Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. It means
nothing less than not defrauding your
self by your own preiudices and judg-
ments. 1t means dealing fairly and
squarely with yourself; looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct of your
associates. Clara X. Bayliss.

Miss Carke's record as an actress
is too we'll known to need comment
at this time. She is very happily re
membered from the time she was an
important member of the forces of
Charles Frohman. Her reputation
as an actress was established in those
days and she has been adding con-
stantly to her fame ever since.
It was later that she became a
playwright. Numerous Of the dra-
mas that her pen has developed are
still current attractions and firmly
entrenched in the favor of the peo-
pie. Introduce Me-" however, she
regards as the best work she has
done in this direction.
But the fact that is not SO well
known is that Miss Clarke is her
own stage director and manager. 1t
was not a sudden impulse that made
Miss Clarke a stage director. She
fitted herself for this difficult and
trying work after a number of years
of careful study, experience and OBJ
servation. Books, practical knowl.
edge and the best Of experience
were the courses she pursued until
finally she found herself equipped
for the handling of productions.
Today it would be difficult to find
a person more familiar with every
branch of the stage than is Miss
Clarke. Not only this, but it is that
fine intuition that Nature must give
Miss Clarke possesses to a marked
degree.

mANTI-HARRIS MEETING.

The meeting called for Thursday
night to protest against the position
of State Superintendent Of Educa-

ical campaign was held at the Court
House, and about a hundred people
were in attendance. Judge William
Campbell called the meeting to Or
der and requested Attorney J.. l..
Kennedy to preside. Atty. ]. j..
Fournet was elected secretary.
Chairman Kennedy expressed his
sentiments on the question of MI.
Harris alleged pernicious activity in
politics in support of J. T. Michel,
and denounced it in vigorous style.
He reviewed the history of the nomi-
nation, and said Mr.. Harris, in an
open letter to a friend in Vernon
parish, declined to NEEDLE in politics
and declared himself as opposed to
mixing schools and politics; yet, said
Mr.. Kennedy, a little while after his
nomination by the committee he be-
came a violent and partisan advo-
cate of Mr.. Michel. Harris, he said,
claimed Halls election would put
schools ten years backward, and
therefore he should not head a pro-
gressive school system under the
next administration.
The speaker charged that Mr.. Har.
ris had d~iscredited himself before
the electorate by his i~nsincerity dur
ing the campaign, and should resign
the nomination.

being assured, declined to speak on
school topics at Verda, where politi-
cal talks would be made, and then,
after his nomination unopposed was
secured, to jump into the State cam

that he supported Michel. Had. he
supported Hall or Aswell the princi-

action was contrary to his first atti-

Literary Lion
He Was an Ass In a
Lions Skin
By Hugh L. TraSk

During the latter part Of the nine
tenth century a novel called Her
Quick Recovery" appeared under the
name Of Leonard harrington that Gre
ated sensation. Leonard harrington
was an assumed name. The novel to
which it was appended was put forth
as feeler by one who was destined
to become one of the literary magnates
of that day, for 1t was so unlike 9TH
er works of its kind that its author
did not dare father it, He had occa-
sion to regret his timidity or, rather,
modesty, for among the many persons
who claimed to have written the story
the real author was most discredited.
One day in midsummer a young man
on train was reading Her Quick
Recovery" when another, in the seat
behind him, said to him:
