NOAH'S WIFE.

A good old gentleman, with
failing eyesight, but unimpalred
faith. was in the habit of reading
the Bible to his boys every night
before retiring. One evening.
after reading a chapter, he said !:
Now. boys, tomorrow evening
| shall read about Noah taking
unto himself wife. " The boys
thought they would play a joke
on him, and they pasted two
leaves of the Bible together. The
next evening the old gentleman
opened the Bible at the proper
place, and read, "and Noah took
unto himself wife, then he
turned over the page and read,
she was forty cubits long and
twenty cubits wide, tarred in
side and out. ?" The old gentle
man stopped reading, scratched
his head, turned back to the first
page and read, "and Noah took
unto himself wife," turned over
the page again and read, "she
was forty cubits long and twenty
cubits wide. tarred inside and
out. 7" He closed the book, looked
at the boys and said: 81 have
read this blessed Book nigh unto
forty years, and never read that
before; but it simply illustrates
how wonderfully and fearfully
We are made.

MERCHANTS TRADE ASSO
CITATION.

With the numerous railroads
entering this City several times
daily from the North, East, West
and South we can see no reason
or excuse for the merchants oil
New iberia not organizing them
selves as progressive communities
are doing, into an ASSOCIATION
for the purpose OF reaching out
and bringing more trade here
from distant points. 1t is gen
orally known that goods can be
bought here from our local mer-
chants at the same prices many OF
the big catalog houses are offer
ing and in some instances better
bargains can be found that
should be an incentive to OutslG-
ers, were an effort made to invite
them to this City. Why not es-
tablish a refunding fare basis
over every carrier connecting us
with the outside world. This
could be accomplished were the
business men properly organized
and reduced rates could be OBJ
tained that should make it worth
the while to visitors in search of
supplies. We feel satisfied much
good could be accomplished if
only our business men would get
together and work out plans
along the lines proposed Once
we get shoppers from the country
tributary to this City, we feel
satisfied the merchants could hold
their own with their large and
varied stocks now on their shelves
and in the warehouses of the
different Tines of business. Not
till our merchants learn that they
must do something for themselves
can they ever hope to change the
conditions here. We believe half
fares with little jrdicious ad
vertising would increase the
trade fully fifty per cent. Why
not get busy Mr.. Merchant and
let the outside world know that
YOU are awake to your own inter
ests.

USE OF CALOMEL PRACTI
CALLY STOPPED.
For Bilious Attacks, Constipa-
tion and All Liver Troubles.
Dangerous Calomel Gives Way
to Dodson S Liver Tone.

Every druggist in the state has
noticed great falling off i'll the
sale of calomel. They all give
the same reason. Dodson S Llv-
er Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is often dangerous
and people know it, while bod
son s Liver Tone is perfectly safe
and gives better resu is, says
John r. Taylor and Bro.
Dodson S Liver Tone is per
sonally guaranteed by John X.
Taylor & Bro. who sell it. "A
large bottle costs 80 cents, and
if it fails to give easy relief IN ev-
cry ease of sluggishness, you have
only to ask for youI money back.
1t will be promptly returned.
Dodson s Liver Tone is pleas
ant tasting, purely vegetable
remedy-harmless to both chill
dren and adults. A bottle IN the
house may save You a day s work
or keep your children from
missing school. Keep your liver
working and your liver will not
keep you from working.

EXHIBIT OF MACHINERY
And Farm Implements to Be Seen at
Louisiana Fair-New Exhibit
Halls,

There are two large brick buildings
at the Louisiana State Fair grounds
for exclusive exhibition of machinery
and farm implements. These build
ings, which are comparatively new.
were provided especially for showing
this class of exhibits to the visitors
SO popular has this department grown
that all the space in the two structures
which are 60x130 feet, has been reserv-
ed for this years fair which OPENS
Nov. and continues through Nov -.
Although all the space In the exhibit
buildings II gone. persons desiring to
display machinery and farm impIe-
ments have tho opportunity Of reserv-
ing acreage in five-acra tract lust
outside the buildings. Some Of this
acreage has already been spoken for
and The remainder promises to be TAX
en- before the time for the fair to omen
Demonstrations as well as exhibits may
be made
The interest taken in the exhibit of
machinery and implements at the Lou
fsiana fair each year evidences steady
growth of a determination on the part
of the farmers to turn from the old
methods. The use OF new methods call
for the handling of modern implements
and other apparatus and the exhibition
at the State Fair helps the develop
ment OF the movement wonderfully.
BY the demonstrations the farmers
learn that they may cultivate their
lands easier and with more profits
and less expense.

SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE
THE CANAL AND THE EARTH
QUAKES.

The Panama Canal has not suf-
fered any material damage from
the severe earthquake shocks
which shook the zone from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Apprs-
hension was soon allayed after
the engineers reported that the
damage was merely nominal and
that the slide of earth shaken
into the ditch could be removed
i'll a few hours.
For years scientists have been
specializing as to what would
happen when the canal would be
subjected to a test Of this char
acter, and foreign predictions
have been pessimistic. European
engineers said the locks would
be warped and rendered useless,
that the Culebra cut would be
filed by the fallinc mountain
crack.
The earthquake of lat week
was not mere trem0r, but from
all accounts was the sevcrest that
has occurred since the wolk k
started, the vibrations overthrow
ing furniture in houses and dam
aging less substantial structures
than the canal. The fact that
the damage to the canal and to
the machinery that operates it
was insignificant will allay an
xiety as to their stability. This
opinion is strengthened by the
knowledge that the dams and
locks emerged from the ordeal
unharmed and will satisfy tho
public that there is little danger
of the toll of years being des-
troyed by a seismic disturbance
Proof that the engineers have
builded dams and locks of tho
most substantial character is fur
nished by the safety of the canal
today. An earthquake that
swayed churches until the bells
tolled was a test sufficient to
convince the people of this coun-
try that prophesies of disaster
are not to be considered serious
