Two Poems on Opportunity.
by JOHN ]. INGALLS, Of Kansas.

by JOHN j. INGALLS, or KANSAS.
Master of Human Destnies am |,
Fame, Love and Fortune my footsteps wait.
Cities and fields walk penetrate
Deserts and Seas remote, and passing by
Howell and Mart and Palace soon or late
knock unbdden, once at every gate.
If sleeping, wake! If feasting, rise before
/ turn away 1t is the hour OF Fate
And those who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save Death. But those who doubt, or hesitate
Condemned to failure, penury and woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
l answer not and return no more.
H-By WALTER MALONE of Memphis, Tenn.
They do me wrong who say come no more
When once knock and fail to find you in;
For every day stand outside your door,
And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win.
Wall not for precious chances passed away
Weep not for golden ages on the wane
Each night burn the records OF the day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at splendors that have sped;
To vanished Joys be blind and deaf and dumb;
NV judgments seal the dead past with its dead,
But never bind moment yet to come.
Though deep in mre, wiring not your hands and weep;
lend an arm to all who say II CANT
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep
But yet might rise and be again man!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retributions blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of the past
And find the futures pages white as snow!
Art thou mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell;
Art thou sinner? Sins may be forgiven;
Each morning gives thee wings to flee from nell,
Each night star to guide thy feet to heaven

To Teachers and Those Contemplating |
Teaching.
Public schools will soon close. Teach !
ers have had an average of about six
months on the pay roll at perhaps an
average salary of $50 per month, netting
them $3.50 for the year, or an equivalent
of $50 per month for the year. In other
words, the educated teachers salary for
the year is less than that of the unedu-
Gated day laborer.
The President of the Texas State
Teachers Association made the state
ment, couple of years ago, before the
State Convention, that 5000 teachers
quit the profession in Texas annually.
Can you blame them, when you compare
their annual earning capacity with that
of any other class of educated men and
| women. The bookkeeper, or stenogra-
pher, or operator gets, as beginner,
from $50 to S100 per month twelve
months in the year, and soon receive an
advance in salary, and it isn't long
before they are promoted to assistant
managers or managers of large business
concerns where they draw a salary of
from $1,000 to 5000 per year.
/ The teaching profession is noble,
charitable one, but are you content to
work in the charity department. OF your
state when they allow you no pension OF
protection in old age? or will you &c
into the great, broad field of business
|. where you can lay up something for .
rainy day and provide your own protec.
ton for old age?

Wedding Bells Again.

A prettily printed invitation to reach
the writer's desk reads:
"Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Johnson Cald-
well invite you to be present at the
marriage Of their daughter Mary to Mr..
Aylmer M. Wyche on Wednesday morn
ing, March II, 1914, at ten o'clock, First
Presbyterian Church, Plain Dealing,
La"
This union will join representatives OF
two families long prominent in Bossier
Parish, the connections Of which are
many. The young man is the second
son of Mr.. Robert E. Wyche, leading
merchant of this place, and Mrs. Nettie
Smith Wyche, and grandson of the
late popular Maj. R. E. Wyche and Mrs.
Kate Hamiter Wyche. Since complet-
ing his course in the Tulane University
of New Orleans he has been actively en-
gagged in the various positions open to
him in his fathers store. In CONNER
cial life he has proved no laggard and
on many occasions his business acumen
has been actively to the fore. He is of
unquestioned integrity, easy of APP
proach, appreciative Of friends, and in
every sense worthy. We wish to con-
graduate him upon winning the heart
OF his fair BRIDE elect, granddaughter
of the late Col. Thomas ]. Caldwell and
Mrs. Margaret Cockerel Caldwell, and
daughter of Mrs. Jessie Rabb Caldwell,
herself daughter of the late Col. ]. w.
Rabb, another gallant officer and soldier
of the Confederacy. She is well known
| in our midst. For several successive
terms she was teacher in Benton High
School and her unqualified success in
that capacity reflects that she is capable
of making her own way in the world
and also won for her many words o.
commentator. Aside from her native
charm, her accomplishments and mag.
netism OF person, she is young woman
of recognized worth, possessing sucl
traits ofscharacter as have won for he
many admirers and lasting friends.
A source of qualification to resident
of our town in connection with thi
union is the announcement of the en-
closed card, which reads: CAT hom
!, after March 25th, Benton, La" The
will be warmly welcomed in our midst.
. The best wishes of the writer an
scores of other friends follow ther
s wherever they go-and throughout life

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING ScALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make q
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end OF the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur'
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint'
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It Is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura SOAP
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

MERELY A LAW OF NATURE
What at First Looks Like Peculiar
ity of Running Water Is Easy
Of Explanation.

Have you ever noticed, when the
water has almost all run out of the
bathtub. how the light particles on
the surface seem then to race out
much faster than the water? AS a
matter of fact, they are travelling
faster than most of the water; but
no faster than that on the surface.
The reason is not far to seek. Run
ming water, even in river, goes at
different rates; but fastest on the top
surface right in the midle of the
stream. Friction with the sides and
bottom makes the water there go
more slowly. So the light particles
on top of the water in the bathtub,
rush ahead at good rate.
This popularity in rivers is utilized
by boatmen when they have to go up
a swift stream; they always paddle
up near the bank. And at curves, as
the water swings outward, they take
