Hargis Community.

Hargis community is situated in the
northwestern part or Grant parish,
eighteen miles north of Colfax, the par
ish seat, and four miles east of Red
river. There are two railroads in the
immediate vicinity, one four miles east
and the other west. The community is
well watered by bold clear springs ano
creeks that furnish water for stock
We have no stock law. but plenty OF
grass. Cattle, hogs, horses, and sheel
thrive eight months in the year, and
can i've the year round without iced.
This is principally an agricultural
community and is cut up in farms Of
from twenty to one hundred and twenty
acres each. The soil is light sandy
loan with good clay foundation. 1t
will produce almost any kind of vege-
tables and fruits. Berries grow wild
all over the woods.
Land ranges in price from five to
twenty-five dollars per acre, according
TO location.
Cotton and corn were the chief pro-
ducts until the boil weevil came. Now
the farmers raise peas, potatoes, pea
outs and cane. There are several small
canneries in the community, and people
can all the fruits and vegetables they
need for home use, and some for sale.
We have an up-to-date model road
running east and west connecting witt
the two railroads. In the heart of the
community we have church, three
room school, and country store, where
we can sell all the chickens and eggs
we have to spare at fair price the
year round.
We have rural mail route and re-
ceive our mail every day. We have {
telephone system connecting US with
the railroads. And we have as good
people as any community is blessed
with.

Mr.. Hart Explains His Congressional
Brief.
Bentley. La, Oct %, 1913.
Editor CoJdr Chronicle:
In your paper of 25th inst notice
an article relative to brief / am pre-
pairing in defense of settlers claims for
lands conditionally patented to the New
Orleans Pacific Ry Co. You state:
"Mr. 7. o. Hart is getting up brief
in behalf of settlers on the Backbone
Land Grant, and especially of those in
terested in the celebrated suit No. 16
now pending in the u. S. district court.
As this case is in the courts for settle
ment, we cannot see what good the
presentation of this brief to Congress
by Mr.. Hart can accomplish, because
we do not believe the legislative or the
executive departments of our govern
ment have the right to influence the ju-
dietary in any way"
Please correct your statement rela-
tive to especially of those interested
in the celebrated suit No. L." My
brief does not mention suit l6. 1t sim
ply refers to the patents issued as be-
ing conditional, and not erroneous. l
am trying to prove there was no error
in the patents. / offer the patents as
proof of this fact in my brief, wherein
you will find written in the patent the
following words: Provided this does
not conflict with the right of actual
settlers" The Interior Department
guarded against error by making the
patents conditional. There is but one
thing to be determined, j. e., did the
condition exist making the patent void.
If SO, there was no patent issued. If
no patent was issued, no prescription
can be claimed against the government.
have given you an outline of my ar
gument in my brief, so that you can
see that you have misstated in part the
purpose of this brief. / do not believe
you did this Intentionally, but you did
not read the brief, or you would have
known l do not mention suit l6, and
possibly you might have thought better
of it. Surely you cannot afford to use
your little hammer on this subject.
even though you would like to knock
me ever so much.
Very truly yours, T. o. HART.

ABOUT YOUNG GEORGE TELLUM.

Young George Tellum was endowed
with a lot cf confidence in his conver-
sationaI powers. Moreover, he never
hung on formality. He was the sort of
a bow who would propose 10 girl on
a souvenir postal card. take her accept
ancs for granted, and tell her to meet
him in front of the Behemoth Building
10 catch a car for the cIergymsn's. Then.
Ike as not. he'd get TO talking to the
motorrnan on the way out-paying no
attention to the signs telling passengers
not to talk TO the motorman-and se'i
him a bunch Of life insurance before ne
got of the car.
This isn't saying he did propose in
quite that manner. but he would just as
soon II it had occurred to him. Here
the way he actually did propose:
He sauntered over one evening to the
home Of a Young creature named Petu-
mia, who was put up like a Ruhens mas
terpiece and talked gurGly. like Ethel
BARRYMORE George liked Petunia- They
sat down on a divan to look at the pic
lures in a magazine in the conventional
fashion until Petunia's parents should
notice that It was going on toward y
O'Clock and begin TO feel sleepy.
Then George turned to Petunia with a
mild grin and said to her: Il was look
and I find it costs about as much TO get
a furnished bachelor suite as ii does to
rent a fiat. So I've decided to get mar
ried pretty shortly-within month or
two at the outside. How soon could you
have your trousseau gathered together
for such an event.?
Petunia shook her head. In the first
place. she didn't care for him in that
way. because she didn't like the way he
wore his hair and he had a funny walk.
And she didn't want to get married L"
anybody before fall. ss her folks had
promised to take her on a trip to Cali
fornia in June. Besides, she had ordered
some new calling cards, which would all
go to waste IL she were to get married
So once more she shook her head. and
told George most decidedly they might
as we'll talk about something else.
But did George take her no for an
swer? Did he? Just wait He whisked
a little led book out OF his pocket. Let $
see" he began. how old were you at
your last birthday-oh, yes, 1 know:
The Washington herald., 1913-03-16

you're twenty-four, because I overhear I'd
your mother telling some body when she
didn't know I was around. Now. this
table Of probabilities here shows the
average age at which men and women
marry. Often I'll meet a man who SAYS
he doesn't care to take out any insur-
ance because he isn't married and
doesn't expect to be. Well say that
the man who says that is twenty
four years old. The chances are about
thirty to one that within three years he
changes his mind and gets married after
all. And every year thereafter. up to a
certain point. the chances that he will
eventually marry increase. OF course
there comes a time when he may be
considered a confirmed celibate. IL may
use word You probably do not under
stand. and from then Oh there is a de-
crease each year in his chances of mat
rimony.
Now. then, let US turn over the page
to corresponding table relating to the
marriage age of women. and We find
that woman reaches the point where the
chances are against her incurring matri-
mony great deal earlier than does a
man. In other words, OF all the women
who have received a proposal OF mar
rtags at twenty-four-your own age
only one in lS ever receives another pro-
posal. And only one In 342 is proposed
TO third time after reaching the age
OF twenty-four. OF course, the chances
are worse each year thereafter. You
can see for yourself that inasmuch as
You will he twenty-five at your next
birthday. you should not reject a pro-
posal without giving the matter serious
and earnest consideration. And, on the
other hand. I should advise you against
too much delay in arriving at a decision.
for every day you wait-every hour, in
fact-reduces your chances just that
much in case you should decide TO base
Your hopes Of matrimony on an addi-
honal proposal Frankly I may say I
shall not repeat the proposal have just
made. Let US look at the proposition
now in another way
But he was interrupted by Petunia
casting herself impulsively into his arms
and saying that he was just clever
kid. so he was. and that she intended to
accept him all along, and would he want
to have a brass jardiniere Of ferns in
ths dining-room or in the sitting room?

known as the age of Thomas Davis.
Twelve years ago he realized that the
dying out of the Irish language was ap-

himself to the great work of de-Anglic-

of Uncle Sans scientists in the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington. has
studied the Gaelic language since he was
a child. He became interested in its great
possibilities when he was but fifteen
years old. Finding an old Gaelic grammar
which was then a very rare thing. he
copied the entire book in long hand. II
was Burk's self-instruction in Irish, and
one of the pioneer Gaelic publications
of that time. Along about the eighties,
about twenty-five years ago, he wrote
the first Gaelic manuscript that was ever
published by a scientific society in this
country-thc American Philosophical So
ciety of Philadelphia. In addition. he is
the author of many Irish folklore sto-
ries He was one of the pioneers in
forming the Gaelic Society and was its
first president for three years Alto

greater part of the past forty years
in the study of the Irish language.
The other pioneer worker in America
is James h. Flynn. who is a thorough
master of the Gaelic language. He was
born in County Galway. Ireland. He is
fluent all-around Gaelic scholar and
a natural orator. In his zeal for the
work Mr.. Flynn organized school in
Washington, where he taught the Ian
guage a number of Years without salary
or recOmpense of any kind.
In an interview James Mooney gave
the writer an interesting story of the
origin of the Gaelic language and the
many viCissitudes through which ii has
passed to the present day. He also
mentioned an unpublished story regard
