Not Her Papa.-The bit Of humor
and pathos is from the Hawaiian Star:
IAN amusing incident is related OF
young service matron who had relin-
ouished her husband for two years,
and who, having before his departure
insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself assidiously to the upbringing
of her two-year- old baby with a view
to the childs familiarity with her dis
tant father. Each day she would call
the baby girl to her and kneeling be-
side her would hold UP the photograph
pointing out each feature to the child.
"one day the officer came home. And
the baby girl, then four years DID, was
summoned. Come dear, said her
mother, in glee, papa has come home
at last The child surveyed the ofhcer
in perplexisy and finally shook her
head.
what IL the matter, dear" asked
her mother.
"'wen,' replied the child, he looks
something like my papa, but my papa
hasn't any legs"

from a country town went to a city
boarding school, much against the
wishes of her father, who thought she
would be spoiled by city ways.

The mother read the letter aloud to
her father, who turned angrily upon
her. saying: We'll, you see, I was

Live Stock Insurance

I am prepared to write applications
for insurance against Death from
ANY Cause on Horses, Mules and
Cows, in the Standard Live Stock In
surance Company, OF indianapolis,
Ind, which, SO far as Capital Stock
and Surplus is concerned, Is the
Strongest, and at the same time, the
most Liberal Live Stock Insurance
Company doing business In the UNI
ted States. No animal that is not
healthy or Is over twelve years Of age,
is insurable. The rate on farm stock
is $500 per $4,000 per year, IL the
stock is not mortgaged, and $500 per
$4,000 IL It is. Do you think you
are acting wisely to carry the risk on
your horse or mule that cost from
5000 to 1900, when you can get q
corporation with a half-million dol
lars to carry 1t for you at the rates
named? No animal will be insured
for more than one-half its actual
cash value; in other words: A policy
will be issued on a mule worth 5000
for $3.50. and IL 1t dies from Amy
Cause while the policy Is In force,
$50 will be paid.

Home Grown Bananas.

Mrs. J. n. Greene this week
presented lis with a generous
sample OF Ike bananas that SHE
raised in her yard, on State street.
SHE had three nice punches, and
while they are rot as long as those
shipped here, they arc much larger
in circumference, measuring SIX
inches in circumference and SIX
inches in length. The taste is
just fine, probably through the
fact that they ripened on the tree.
The trees were about two years
old, having come from the old
Robert Greene farm near Kaplan.

them had ever before experienced
They went TO Bayou Sale. going

plenty of good things TO eat.
The party was composed of
Messrs. G. !. Griffin. VI. l..
Eldredge, Rev. Nessum of Cucy-
dan, John Flcnming, Will Gordy
and J. S. Ewell.
The first deer was killed by Mr..
Ewell. The second was shot bv
Mr.. Eldredge, but did not fall
until Mr.. Ewell sent load after
him.
The spOrtsmen have been telling
many funny tales about one an
other, but seldom included them
selves. One of the good ones, was
the day that Rev. Nessum STAYED
IN camp to have some hot coffee
for the boys when they returned.
When the boys returned, they
found Mr.. Nessum about a half
mile out i'll the bay on some piling,
where he had been for a long time.
On account of the waves it was not
very tempting to try to get back.
But the boys went out and got
him. One of the party had the
misfortune of loosing dog.
