MAYBE 1 WAS.

When l see a youth with his pants
turned up and his beautiful
.i socks on view.
And over one eye perched a little
IS round hat. with a ribbon
mauve or blue
And the fourteen rings and seven
~ pins that he got at that dear
~ prep school. '-
Why, it strikes chord and say,
"Oh Lord, was l ever that
much of a fool?"
When I see youth with his gloves
turned down, and cigarette
stuck in his face,
And loud check coat and a horse
~, cloth vest and a half inch wide
shoe lace,
And bunch of hair that hides his
ears. and line of senseless
droll.
Then / paw the sward, as I say, "Oh
Lord. was I ever that much a
fool?"

Police Jurors Indicted.

Leesville Leader Nov. 6: The grand
jury now in session in this city re-
turned bills, of indictment against +.
f. Lanehan on a charge of offering a
|bribe. and Police Juryman j. H. Tur-
ner Of Ward One, ]. NJ. Marcus and
T. J. Addison Of Ward Two, j. A.
Wilson of Ward Four and G. r. Car
Yer OF Ward six. The bills were re-
turned yesterday.
The indictments grew out of the
persistent effort on the part of cer-
tain members of the Police Jury to
pass a resolution letting contract
ito estimate the timber lands of. Yer
non Parish in order, as the matter
was put to sound more feasible to
the public ear, to reclassify the land.
The contract for this work was
let some months ago at &c per acre,
a figure that would have cost the
parish something like $4,000, had
not such pressure been brought to
bear upon the jury that the contract
was rescinded at the same meeting
at which it was let. AT this time
there was a strong suspicion OF the
existence of graft: in fact the jury
was warned by District Attorney
Lyles that they must keep within
the bounds of the law.

display by the negroes of Caddo Par
ish. This exhibit was suggested with
the view of encouraging the colored
people in useful and honorable pro-
gression. 1t is the first attempt at
an exhibit by few, The agricultu-
raj products embrace all the things
that can be raised from the SOIL In
this exhibit is the handiwork of
women and girls, the effort directed
at domestic science. s.

From taking a survey of the matter
brought out on the hearing wherein the
ad%jutant general is charged with ex-
travagance. the opinion is prevalent
while there have been no state or gov

use, yet the general has not sufficient

National Guards affairs. so as to
properly take care of company cap
tains and necessary Indebtedness in

1t has been brought out that the gen.
eral employees men paid by the state on
a farm run on the government land
near Watertown, and puts the money
so raised into a special fund. The OBJ
lection to this is that there is no way
in which be can be checked up.
The fact that he brought the regi.
ment cooking equipment to the state
fair at Huron last fall at the expense
of the state and started to run a lunch
counter at the fair grounds has been
criticised by members of the commit
tee. Testimony also shows tina. mon

the state money was used for private

ing on a farm near Wilmot. was brought

got none of the crop raised last year

that his family was destitute. 80 he
bad stolen two wagon loads of wheat
to relieve the necessities Of his fam.
ily. Questioned by Judge Cyrus Clay
Carpenter of the Lennon district, who
was presiding in the absence OF Judge
McNulty. Dean admitted that his
financial troubles were largely due to
over indulgence in liquor. Upon his
promise to total abstinence and to sup
port of his family when released from
prison, Judge Carpenter imposed a
sentence of four months in the state
~penitentiaiy at Sioux Falls. Dean sold
the stolen wheat. under an assumed

A Tasty
Decorated Home

Its somewhat of a hobby with me. /
like to show people all the new effects,
that come out new each year. If you
care to read, what l write, you might
get some suggestions, that you al use
in your own home. / shall try to treat
each room in a house from now on.
starting today with the reception room.
Among the new styles for this room,
is a very handsome imitation leather
effect on a Tiffany blended or notified
background, with every detail of tex
ture and irridescence of color the names
imply. faithfully reproduced.
The monotony of a perfectly plain
wall is relieved by the occasional intro
duction of a suitable motif where wall
space OF personal taste might suggest,
thus lending individuality to the effect.
AT the top of the wall Is a beautiful
cut out border of Heraldic design ap-
p~liqued over a plain background com
plotting the effect of AN intricate stem
Gil or freehand decoration. The lower
wall is finished with a figured pat
tern of suitable design with a mar
row band of the same material as q
divider between the upper and lower
walls. The colors are in subdued
shades of brown, tan and ecru with a
slight touch of red in the blend. This
kind of effects can be had in cheaper
paper as well. so the price need never
interfere. / am here to show you and
explain any time you care to put your
time up against mine.
