Welded Eyebrows.

In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired, and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition, and if art cannot induce
thin eyebrows to grow they make up
by drawing n black line with paste
1t would appear that the Greeks al.
mired brows which almost met, ana
the fashionable inhabitants or home
not only approved of them, but resort
ed to pigments TO make up the lack
which sometimes existed.
Some proverbs state that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always have
good luck. while others state exactly
the reverse. The Chinese say thai
.'people whose eyebrows meet can nev
or hope to attain to the dignity OF !
minister OF state" and in Greece Of
today the man whose brows meet II

Four Sons of Fame.

Of honor must be added the Fields.

A VENERABLE EDUCATOR HoNoRED.

Last Thursday Colonel George Soule,
founder of the famous Soule College OF
New Orleans, celebrated his eightieth birth
day, on which occasion the students of the
college presented him with a beautiful sill
yer after dinner service as token of their
combined esteem and love and royal good
wishes for many, many more years of good
service
What memories of the past this Incl
dent recalls! In 1859, when the Banner
was established, Soule's College and
Rufus Dolbear's Commercial College, both
of New Orleans, were the leading business
colleges of the South, and were justly pop
ular educational institutions. The Banner
of that year showed half column adver-
tisement of Dolbear's College. Later, we
believe, an advertisement of Soule's Col
lege was also inserted in the Banner. A
number of young men from Bossier Parish
attended these popular colleges before the
Civil War, but We can recall no one who
is living to-day.

Thoughts of Long Ago.
Editor Bossier Banner, Benton, La.

Editor Bossier Banner Benton, La.
Last night heard whippoorwill softly
telling his mate of springtime and flowers,
and every spring, as the evening shadows
appear, listen mid sad memories for the
notes of this night birds song, and my
thoughts go back through the long stretch
of time to the now lonely hillside where fifty
years ago held one in my arms and heard
her sing the whippoorwill's song. That
sweet voice has long since joined the angels
in their evenings chants around the great
white Throne, while have passed through
those fifty years, mingling with all classes
of humanity-from the novels of the most
wicked to the homes of the Christian and
refined. Whether in retreat before an
armed foe; on the lonely picket, or amid
the clash of arms; in all these years, when
spring time comes, my thoughts go back
to the hillside in Red Land, where took
that young bride in my arms and listened
to the whipporwill's song. What I am
spared for, don't know.

East Carroll Banner-Democrat: Mr..
Thornton in speech in the Senate on
Saturday gave his reasons why he was in
favor of the repeal of the Panama tolls
question and supported the President in
the fight for its repeal. Mr.. Thornton is
right and he knows, as we'll as other Dem
ocrats, that President Wilson would not
urge and advocate any measure that would
be detrimental to the interest of the United
States. Louisiana Democrats are with Mr..
Thornton in his efforts to help the President.
Monroe News-Star: Newspapers are
subject to the same laws and limitations as
every other business enterprise. There is
"A limited field and when the limit has been
reached it is worse than foolish to try and
expand further. Two grocery stores, two
mercantile establishments of any kind, two
professional men, two newspapers, may,

one, but sooner or later one or both will
have to seek other fields. 1t is best, under

The best possible terms with the opposition.
Some are ready to declare that competition
sis the life of trade" but competition can
be overdone. Competition is welcomed
when the field is large enough to afford
legitimate cmpetition, but when it is cir
cumscribed, with elbow room sufficient for
only one vigorous and verile enterprise,
then competition becomes burdensome and
rapidly adopts 'cut-throat" methods. The
News-Star has had experience along this
line. We know whereof we speak. Both
the News and the Star, as separate news
papers, met with Indifferent success, but
since the consolidation the News-Star has
prospered and is now upon solid founda-
ton. So it will be-, we believe, with the
Times Picayune. Both were determined to
maintain high standard of journalism
and it was realized that it was only ques-
ton of time when the weaker would sue
cumb. So consolidation resulted, and this
means stronger, more influential anc

Who Is the Assassin and lncendiary?
Shreveport Caucasian.

Shreveport Caucasanl
must congratulate Senator John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi in his CLOSING up'
in the United States Senate at least, all this
flabby talk about not recognizing Villa, the
Mexican general, because of his 'atrocious
reputation as an assassin and an incen-
diary"
1t doesn't rest in the mouths of North
ern senator to charge Villa with any par
ticular villainy.
| can name at least three generals or
major generals in the Federal Army who,
during the Civil War, could discount all of
Villas so-called villainies.
These men were Sherman, Sheridan and
Hunter. | name these because / person.
ally saw the results of their work.
Sherman's march to the sea is historical
as an instance of incendiarism, marked by
pillage, rape and assassination, which has
no parallel In the records of the race. The
destruction of Atlanta, Ga, when all public
and semi public buildings had been burn
ed, was wanton. His reply to the appeals
left homeless was worthy of Attila: "No, I
shall burn it to teach you lesson, that
this is war and war is hell.''
| d. ,.
c., was without excuse. 1t crowned the
pinnacle of his infamous career.
The desolation of Virginia's beautiful
valley of the Shenandoah by Sheridan fixes
him as Villas superior in all that contri-
butes to constitute heartlessness. His re-
port to Grant when he had finished his rap
inc is the most atrocious in all history: 81
have left the valley of Virginia so that a
crow flying over it will have to carry its
rations.'
Hunters raid in the vicinity of Lynch
burg, Va, in 1854 marked him as fit as
sociate of his superiors.
Villa is gentleman compared to either
of these. He is rude soldier, something
of the Forrest order, and as successful.
Let'e have done with him as an "atro.
city" A.N.V.
