Ny PRAYER.

Gibsland News: My heavenly
Father, instead of bringing to
Thee merely empty worGs of
thanks for the many blessings thE
mve come to me throughout the
year; help me to show my hearts
Geep gratitude by doing all the use
ful things | can in Thy name today.
Let me try to find every lonely
heart within my reach, and freely
share my portion of cheer with all.
Let me remember to speak the
tardy words of honest praise and
appreciation my selfish lips have
unwittingly withheld, and prayer
fully leave unsaid the little things
that hurt and sting.
Let me fully test the tender magic
that lies in smiles, kind words and
little acts of thoughtfulness, and see
how many sad, discouraged souls I
can make glad.
And grant, O Father, that the
eventide may find nothing in my
humble power left undone or un-
said that would help some one in
need, or make the world better and
brighter. Amen.

New Orleans Picayune Nov. "a:
The past week has developed mild
and unreasonable weather through
out the country. The absence OF
rain has greatly facilitated the har-
Nestine of the cotton crop and many
reports are coming in of the fields
being all but cleared and Of gins
either closing down or running
spasmodically. Since the killing
frosts of the early part of the month
plants have made no more cotton
but in those districts that escaped
serious frosts the warm weather
has probably added something to
the yield. Marketing of cotton has
proceeded on a liberal scale, anc
many contend that there is a small
er percentage Of the crop yet OF
plantations than usual
The rice crop is now being rapidly
brought toa close as far as harvest
ing and marketing are concerned
Owing to the bad weather of Sep
tember and October the yield in th'
western part of this State and east
ern Texas has been cut down an(
estimates now place the final out
come considerably below early ex.
pectations.
The weather has continued favor
able for sugar harvesting opera
tions, facilitating the rapid cuttin
of the canes and hauling to the fac
loIi les.

FOURTEEN DEATHS
From Football This Year and One
Hundred and Seventy-five Injured
During This Season.

Here is reported an appalling rec
ord of death and injury from foot
ball. AS reported from Chicago, ILL.,,
in the news columns, fourteen play
ers were killed and i75 were injured
in football games in the season
which virtually closed Saturday,
Nov. %. In 1912 thirteen players
met death and 1873 were injured.
These figures were compiled from
press reports published in Chicago
on Saturday. The injured include
|only those who suffered broken
bones, torn ligaments, severe sprains
and bruises and internal injuries
OF the fourteen deaths, thirteen
succumbed to injuries received this
year. Charles Sweitzer, formerly
Hamline University player, died OF
Nov. II at st. Paul, following COM
plication of diseases resulting from
injuries several years ago. Other
fatalities resulted, with few excep-
ltions, from fractured skulls, broker
| necks or spinal injuries.
| Only two university players were
killed. Vernon Belyea of the Nor
wich, Conn.,, varsity was hurt in
game with Holy Cross, and die
three days later. Edward Morris
sey, captain of St. Ambrose varsity
'Isnnered q broken leg Sept. 25 an
died Of blood poisoning.

It has been reported in public
print that Boylston is receiving the
sympathy of his friends, but why
such public announcement is not
fully understood. 1t is singular that
sympathy should be expressed for
the individual when the sympathy
should be accorded TO the family,
who, however, are in no sense re-
sponsible for such unlawful trans
action. Boylston's statement is plain
and direct and may be fully and
fairly considered without comment
as an unqualified admission Of his
offending.
Boylston's Statement.
I. w. H. Boylston, being duly
sworn; depose and say that in all
| the transactions, concealment OF pa
pers and accounts, none OF the head
| officers of the Continental Bank and
Trust Company had any knowledge
tof same, but that same was con-
cealed and sheets distracted to pre-
[ vent the said officers and committee
! of directors finding same, and that
rendered them daily statements
which did not show any Of said
transactions, and the same was done
on my own responsibility, without
either their knowledge or consent in
any way whatever.
Sworn to and subscribed this 22nd
day of November 1913.

| Subscribed and sworn to before
me at Oil City, La, on the 22nd day

| WILL L. YOUNG,

i In this confession by Boylston is
implicated John R. Brown Of Fort
Worth, Texas, for whom there has
Ibeen issued warrant charging aid
ing and abetting in the embezzie-
ment of the funds of the Oil City
Bank.
It is not known at the sheriff's Of
:. flee how the warrant against BrowI
= was given publicity since he has no'
been arrested, and the rule held in
: violate is that such publicity is no
warranted until after the arrest o.
the accused.
It would seem that at the be-
5 ginning of this defalcation there
was no criminal intent. There wa!
! but a little shortage resulting from
|, the use of money which was to have
been replaced, but as the venture
failed, more money was needed, an
: the result in this case is as in 9th
] ers. which is an emphasis that hon
: -lesty is the best policy even if incon
:, venient and trying, is still the bes
policy.

There are now ten and more are get

An Effective New Material

Duvetine is a raw, dainty fabric
brought out in Paris this season
So light and soft is duvetine that it
may be drawn through bracelet, and
the plush-like stuff elings as softly
and Imply about the figure as would
wet cheesecloth. There is, indeed, a
sleek, ripping effect about this fab
rio when draped on the figure, that
suggests a velvet material dipped in
water. though duvetine is much softer
and thinner than even panne velvet.
A dark-blue duvetine wrap, with a
little stripe of Florentine red, comes
from Bechoff David, and will form
part of an October rousseau.
Like all the fashionable afternoon
wraps, this model is about forty
eight inches long, has a slightly cut
away line at the lower edge, the
fronts being lifted in draped effect
to meet the huge passementerie orna-
ment at the left hip.
The sleeves are of the kimono type
and are cuffed with plain dark-bl
velvet, a little color of this velvet
turning over at the neck, while the
wrap fastens closely at the throat
with another, smaller passementerie
ornament.
