olooded animal. The habit of this in
sect OF staying out OF doors In good
weather has given rise to the popular
tradition that house-flies bite before a
rain. which Is based upon the fact that
at such times the stable-fiy Is more
apt to come indoors. 1t bites more

Both sexes are od-suckers and

engorged they remain sluggish for a
time and are apt to rest with the
wings somewhat more widely spread
apart than the house-fy, and with
the body more distinctly elevated.
IF one Of the flies is closely exam

position, the proboscis can be seen
projecting horizontally like the tip
OF fine black pin directly forward
from the lower edge of the head.
Viewed from the side, the proboscis is
seen to emerge from the lower side
or the head and then bend forward at
right angles for a distance about the
height OF the head. in shape some

The high school pupils of Newark,
Ohio, have raised s., 400 to equip the
school athletic field and public play
grounds. They DID it in a little more
than three days of actual soliciting.
The Board Of Education had no
money available for this purpose
Mr. Edward KELLER. president Of the
Board Of Education. says that this is
ihe first instance in this country il
which fund for that purpose has
been raised by campaign conduct
ed by the school children them
selves. A fine and most commend
able thing to do, and the spirit OF
the undertaking was just what made
The whole thing go through.
In like manner the school children
of the Shreveport public schools
came to the front about twelve
years ago, and, with The aid of the
teachers and a few public spirited
citizens, led by the devoted friend
of public education, Mr.. H. H. Har-
grove, made a campaign asking sig
natures to a tax petition in favor OF
a public school building. There was
not State legislation allowing this
tax at that time, SO the teachers and
children, tired of being housed III
poor, lily arranged buildings, such
as could be rented, faced the emer-
gency and made a house to house
canvass soliciting signatures to their
petition for voluntary tax to erect
a public school building. More than
enough signatures were obtained
and in year the building was COM
pleted and ready for use. The Cen
trail school building is really a mon
ument to the zeal and devotion OF
Mr.. Hargrove, and a tablet in praise
of this public spirited movement
should yet be placed in the building,

A Good Man Gone.

The sad tidings of the death OF
Mr.. w. J. Hutchinson was received
with sorrow by his large circle OF
friends in this city, and hearts were
touched with the deepest sympathy
to the bereaved family.
Mr.. Hutchinson with his wife and
daughter was at Biloxi, Miss, where
he had recently gone, hoping to re-
store his failing health, but the
summer came, and good man
has gone to his heavenly reward.
Mr.. Hutchinson was one OF the
best known and most highly es-
teemed men in North Louisiana. His
hospitable home at Caspiana was a
happy rallying place for relatives
and friends, and his genial nature
made him a delightful host. A man
of large means, broad ideas, influen-
tial and charitable, he stood for all
that is good and fine in character
and his death is greatly 1amented.
The noble example of simple integ-
rity and fairness to all left by him
will long live in tender memory OF
this Christian gentleman.
Mr.. Hutchinson is survived by his
devoted wife and two daughters
Mrs. J. M. Robinson and Miss Mar
garet Hutchinson, and six sons
Messrs. w. ]. Hutchinson, ]. B. Hut
Crimson and Trigg Hutchinson, es-
teemed citizens of this city, ane

The remains reached Shreveport
Wednesday morning and were con-
veyed to the home of his son, Mr.. J

DahliaS i'm Bloom.

The most perfect dahlias in form

garden of the Lady of the Roses. y
In June when the roses are resting

gorgeous dahlias-pale lemon col
ored quilted beauties, and rich red
varieties. With the dahlies was d
magnificent stalk of lilies, wine and

Tn MemOrian.

After brief illness Mrs. Agnes
Worthington Harp, beloved wife OF
the Rev. A. J. Harp. passed to the
life eternal. So quietly did the sum-
mons come that the loving watchers
knew not the moment of departure.
The look of peace on her placid
features, every lineament showing
the lines of goodness that love had
left, made it hard to realize that the
blessed sleep had fallen upon her.
Mrs. Harp was rare woman. A
nature so fine and true and loyal
that all felt uplifted in her pres
ence. Her ideas of life were exalted.
She was not intolerant, but she
grieved that good, for the time, Of
ten fails and evil triumphs, and that
all have not enlisted under the ban
ner of Christ.
A deeply religious nature-the re-
ligion of Christ that teaches love
love to all mankind, permeated her
| life and made her the consecrated
helpmate through life's long pill
grimage of Gods minister. Together
they worked in those trying times OF
| his early pastorate, beset with diff
| fieulties often; oftentimes with dis
couragement, but he was cheereo
and helped on his way by her devo-
ton and courage. Nothing was hara
for her, though it meant self-denial
if it was for Christ, and her helpful
words, like birds song in the viii
derness, made the way easier ane
happier.
Mrs. Harp was a cultivated wom-
