Lake Charles, La, July 21.-
Herchel Pierce an lo years ole
express driver, today confessed
to the theft of $2l. .446 from
the depot office of the WellsFar
60 Express Company here Nov
IA last. He planned and carried
out the robbery all by himself
he says. He was Is years old
then.
Pierce led Sheriff Reid and 10
cal officers to his home and dug
up $6975, buried in the chicken
house.
Pierce's arrest followed the
confession of A. K. Amy. the
Eunice garage keeper, who was
arrested Saturday afternoon or
a charge of receiving part Of the
stolen money.
When officers went TO Pierce's )
house Saturday to arrest him he
could not be found but he was
taken into custody yesterday.
Both men in their confessions
completely eXonerate Thornton
Chevis, the young night agent,
who for a time was held in con
nection with the disappearance Of
the money.
sheriff Reid and deputy, ac-
companied by Amy. went to
Crowley yesterday afternoon
and from there to Eunice by
automobile. Amy took the men
to his garage and dug up more
than $2OO0 from under the floor
in one corner.
The money recovered, with
the property seized at the time
of Amy's arrest brings the total
recovered to more than $4,000.
Pierce was day driver for the
express company and in the pur
suance of his duties took the
money in the safe down to the
depot just before going off duty.
After he had decided on the
robbery he proceeded with the
utmost coolness. He stole key
ITO a strong box from the pocket
| of his brother Jim's trousers,
and hung about the depot office
until Chevis left the place un-
guarded
As soon as Chevis left to put
some packages: on train No. II

open the east door. OF the build
ling, unlocked the strong box and
| took the two packages of curren-
lev which he knew were inside.

AN ENORMOUS ADVANTAGE.

Grand Lake and Bayou Teche

and when the project is complet-

the only directly connected with
enormous territory skirting the
shores OF the enormous body.
The route will be shortened to

sides afford them an opportunity
to escape the dangers incident to
rough water, and the consequent
destruction and breaking up OF

HOW TO CURE PEA HAY

Begin moving when the peas
turn yellow in the pods. Now
in the morning till noon; if posi-
BILE, run a tedder after the mower
to keep the hay tossed up and
hasten the willing. Rake into
windrows that afternoon. Next
morning turn the windrows with
the rake while the mowers are
running on other parts. That
afternoon put this hay into cocks
as narrow, and tall as will stand
well. Then, as soon as you can
take a handful of the hay and
twist it and can wiring no sap to
the twist, haul the hay to the
barn and let it settle with it's
own weight without tramping,
and then let it alone and it will
cure all right If it heats some
let it heat. If you go to stirring
it to cool it you will let in germs
of mold from the air aud will
have moldy hay.
Now, | have cured it in this
way and never made any mOldy
hay, but had it come out with
the leaves on and green in color,
and far better feed than the
usual assortment OF sticks that
many m Ike by letting the hay
lie in the sun to bleach and the
leaves get dry and crisp. In fact,
| have found curing peavine hay
as easy as any other hay if you
simply let it cure and do not
monkey" with all sorts of scat
folds and contrivances that mere
ly dry the hay and lose the leaves,
the best part of the hay.-W. r.

The locks in the Teche at Key
stone were closed a few days
ago and the bayou is rising on
this side. The difference at this
time at the locks in the bayou is
about two feet and it requires
about two feet more for the
water to flow over the dam, the
bayou on the south side being
two feet above low tide. When
the water will flow over the dam
at the locks. it will be six feet
above low tide. There is no ap

WITHOUT AN ENEMY,

Heaven help the man who i'm
aglneS he can dodge enemies by
trying to please erybody. If
such an individual ever succeed
ed we should be glad of it-not
that we believe in a man going
through the world trying to find
beams to knock and thump his
poor head against, disputing ev-
cry mans opinion, fighting and
elbowing, and crOwd ding all who
differ with him. That, again is
another extreme. Other people
have a right to their opinion,
so have you; don't fall into error
of supposing they will respect
you less for maintaining it, or
respect you more for turning
your coat every day to match
the color of theirs. Wear your
own colOrs in spite OF wind or
weather, storm or sunshine. 1t

lutte ten times the trouble to

dence to stand it's ground. .-Aro

WOULD BE NO SECRETS
EXPERIMENTS MADE TO READ
DEAD MANS BRAIN.
II They Furnish Desired Results
World Will Have to Be Placed on
Entirely Different Footing
Than Heretofore.

II experiments now being made on
the brain of the late DR.. Maurice How
ard Richardson by his former scien-
tifc associates should furnish the de-
sired results, this old world would
have to be placed on q different foot
ing from any that it ever held before,
whether for better or worse. The end
sought after is to read the thoughts
which they think leave q permanent
Impression upon the brain in a series
Of definite lines. DR.. Richardson was
a firm believer in this theory, and 1t
was that 1t might be studied in his
own Ease that he made disposition Of
his brain In his will.
By analogy, at least, the idea pre-
sents features that rob 1t Of absurd
lty. The manner In which the steel
needle makes its impression on the
wax cylinder of the photograph, and
the later reversal of the operation for
the purpose of reproducing the mes
sage, is one Of the best illustrations
Of a possible process in the phenome-
ma of mental Impressions and their
translation into speech OF action. That
the similarity appealed to Mr.. Ed
ison himself seems more than proba'
BILE, as he has in this, as in other
views, fully committed himself to q
wholly ma~teralistic conception of life.
If the theory, then, has even slight
kindred evidences in its favor, the re-
searches now being carried on with
much secrecy may disclose unexpect-
ed results. II the lines on the brain
should be found related to definite
thought impressions, their interpre-
tation is not beyond human powers.
The same order of mind that wrested
the key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics
from the mutilated Rosetta Stone may
possibly do as much from the brain Of
a dead professor. bringing to light the
thoughts which he kept hidden even
from his own heart while in life.
Should this come about, however, it
is hardly necessary to speculate upon
the portentous changes that would be
wrought. No man could hide himself,
nor could any nation practice the arts
Of diplomacy. No n could be led
astray that was not willing to go. The
Black Hand would betray its own
secrets and the white SLAYER convict
himself. Congressional Investigations
would cease, and the reformer dis.
close at q glance whether he really
liked grape juice or preferred some
thing stronger. And John couldn't
W think that his wife thinks he is
going to the club. for fear that she
would find him out, the gay deceiver.
In view Of which, together with a
thousand and one other complications
that would ensue, 1t will perhaps be
best If the Harvard scientists fail Of
their ~purpose.-Washington Post.
