Death of a Dear Child.

Rarely, if ever, have these columns
chronicled a sadder incident than the
death of little Evelyn Goette, the six
year-old daughter Of Sidonius Goette
and the late Josephine Sobral, which
took place shortly before noon Wed
nesday, after a two weeks illness
with bronchial pneumonia. From the
first it was realized that the hand OF
death was lowering over her, and
every resource at the command OF
medical skill, supplemented by the
most tender and careful nursing, was
employed in the effort to restore the
precious child to health. But Gods
| will is not always our will, and often
times He plucks the fairest flower
of all the field for the garden of
:. d. allSe.
A bright, beautiful child, full Of joy
and happy spirits, it was heartbreak.
ing to see her fall sick and fade
away under the blighting touch of
disease. Although her pain must
have been excruciating at times, the
bore her little body and soul bravely
through the ordeal, nor once did she
complain suffering much in silence
rather than bring anguish to chose
about her.
AS the beautiful fall day was draw
ing to close, the little white casket
containing its fair burden Of mani
mate clay covered with spotless
flowers emblems Of her untainted
soul-was borne to the Catholic
cemetery and there left with tears
and prayers to the sweet fragrance
of the blossoms streWn by loving
hands about her last resting place
and to the songs Of the birds that
carol their softest notes in the quiet
friendliness Of the tonbs.
Evelyn was a dear little girl. In
stelligent, aEseetionate and dutifuI,
she was the beloved pet Of all her
relatives and friends, and the untime-
" ending of her sweet young life has
Wrung the hearts of all who knew
her.
Words can not console the be-
reaved family, but there is solace in
the thought that their precious one
will never more suffer: pain or sick
ness, and that little Evelyn is safe
in the Fathers care and with the an
gels around the throne of God.

MUTUAL BENEFIT.

Nearly everyone realizes, or is be
ginning to realize, that money spen1
at home will be useful to home PEG
pie, while if spent abroad ID has lit
tie chance of getting back to the
place from which it started. The
phrase, ttPatronize home industry,
means something, and little cam
paigning on this basis will convert
some of the doubling Thomases'
who still help to fill the Golfers OF
the mail-order houses.
II the large cities find it adVanta-
geous to advertise homemade pro-
ducts, setting aside a week Or two
weeks for displaying them and di-
recting the consuming public toward
better understanding of the quail
ties and values of goods to be had at
home, why not the small towns and
villages? In Chicago the business
men of various sections Of the city
have their associations and once a
year, or oftener, have booster

show the consumers within their ter

ing in the neighborhood rather than
going down town. Certainly it such
practices are common in sections of
the large cities they are applicable
to the business of the small town.
A keener point than usual was CIV
en- this idea when Idaho had an entire
week devoted to boosting home pro-
=, rIrcn1 mr. nn1u
to buy goods made in factories of
the state, but to do all their buying
with their own local merchants in
stead of with outside concerns.
When the occasion came everyone
was worked up to a fever of enthu-
siasm regarding the idea.
One of The pertinent points used in
advertising has good logic. A sup
posed case was taken, that 1000 Wo-
men each buy a bar of soap on a
certain day, thus creating a new
market well worth considering. II
a thousand customers each buy a bar
of soap on periodical occasions the
soap manufacturer finds his business
increasing and consequently branches
ouL LIZ SpC3AS t1lC AIioACy tSSCARVo
from the increased sale of soap in
hiring people to do his work for him.
The man who enters his employ may
get sick, he calls a doctor-perhaps
the husband OF one of the ladies
who bought the bar Of soap. His
wife spends part of that mans wages
with the dry goods merchant whose
wife bought a bar of soap: The wife
Of the drayman gets a new hat with
the money her husband earned by
working overtime to haul the soap
the home merchant bought. Had
those one thousand women sent their
money to the mail-order houses, how
about the doctor, the drayman and
the merchant?
A dollar spent with the home mer-
chant stays in the community and
helps build up the town. A healthy
town wins prestige and incidentally
increases the value of your property.
Don't get the mistaken idea that
you save money in buying from mail
order houses. The goods are inferior,
which is the first less. Then the
money sent out of your home town
cuts down the home revenue: that's
the second loss. When the home rev.
enue is curtai1ed, property values
drop; that's the third loss. Build
for the future by trading at home.

Cane Top Ensilaae.

amas Moresi, manager Of the A
Moresi Co., Ltd, has given anothe,
Illustration of his originality and en-
terprising spirit by building the first
cane top silo in the United States.
Inc sllo was built on the Moresj
plantation about two miles east Of
Jeanerette. It is 16x32 feet and will
hold l20 tons of ensilage. It is
equipped with cutting machine and
blower, and is now being filled as
fass as the cane tops can be
hauled. Mr.. Moresi informed himself
thoroughly and built and is filling his
sllo On the most scientific principles.
It is well known that sugar cane
tops contain valuable and nutritious
feed properties, but they have here
tofore been a waste product, on &C.
count of not curing satisfactorily for
winter forage.

Congressman Underwood and Hob

exchange of personalities in the house
the other day. The cause Of the
quarrel was that both are candidates
for United States senator. Mr.. Hob
son took occasion to reiterate on
the floor of the house limitations he
had made in a public speech in Ala
bama to the effect that Majority
Leader Underwood is the tool OF
Wall street and the liquor interests,
and Mr.. Underwood took occasion to
deny the imputations in emphatic
terms. his reply eliciting hearty ap-
plause from both Democrats and Re-
publicans. The fiery Mr.. Hobson
lacked much of having the better end
of the controversy.
