 of my husbands parents We were q merry party. It was midsummer, and our time was passed in summer sports reading. driving, boating. ero- quet, lawn tennis One evening be- fore dinner I stepped Into the bath room to wash my hands, and there on the marble slab was a diamond ring. recognized 1t at once as the proper ty of Lucy Crane. a girl about my age, who had doubtless taken it of to wash her hands and forgotten 1t. What a joke it would be to appropriate it, let Lucy think that it was lost then produce iti slipped 1t on my finger, went to my room, put t in n 7 porte monnafe and. leaving the portemon- naie on the rnantel, went down to din- ner.
 ssNVe had finished the dessert and were slipping our coffee when there was a 4O4SS 9E4IlOut e44O " <5 s411 " cA4L on the piazza nj time to see the but Ter and the coachman chasing a man. who was running like stag. He stum- bled and fell, and in another moment they were on him Then he was led back and was searched in presence of the household.
 never can think of that scene with out terrible suf aEing xbftler took from the man my portemonnaie, and, not knowing to whom 1t belonged, opened it. The first thing he took from it was one Of my cards; the second, Lucy Cranes ring. I turned white as a sheet It was few minutes before the situation-the apparent situation ,dawned upon every one, and when it did it was my telltale paIIor that re- moved aH doubt, that had stolen the ring. The next morning left the house.

SOUTHWESTERN
REFLECTIONS.

Have you bought a bale OF cot
to-" ought to be the morning
greeting of every business and
professional man IN Southwest
Louisiana until every man has
bought his bale. It's good invest
ment - not charity gift, aud it
will turn money loose among the
people and bring prosperity.
Besides, it is a capital way to
form the habit of self help instead
of lying down and believing for
somebody ess to help US every
time one has u toe ache.
Conditions in Southwest Louisl-
ana are better now than at any
corresponding time during recent
years, thanks to the spread of d.
versitied agriculture 30 siren ousIy
advocated by this Bureau.
Still diversifcatlon is in lis in
fancy here. Let's plant fifty acres
of oats this fall for every one we
planted last fall, and 10y this way,
1t is time to prepare the land fol
planting.
On every acre planted to oats
we ought to SOW lsspsdsza next
March, SO as to bring back to the
suil some of the nitrogen the oats
crop has taken out of it.
We should plant five acres oil
corn for every one acre planted
last Spring, and every acre of corr
should be sown thickly with COW
peas.
Then, no Southwest Louisiana
farm should be without a wints
pasture OF crimson or red clover
and vstch. And it IL about tim,
to plant these now.
Likewise, the man who would bt
considered a farmer should have
some high bred COWS, sevsra
thoroughbred sows and, with win
ter pasturAgs and abundant forage
crops all next year, the farm would
DO supplied with practically every
thing required to feed man ant
beast.
A few acres of Bernardo onion
on land properly prepared wOul'
. bring in good money at a season
when IT is most acceptable. ant
preparations should be- made t.
plant in January from one to fv
acres Minnesota Triumph IrisI
l potatoes.

Senator Vardaman.

Criticism of Senator James X. Var
daman for having voted against the
confirmation Of Justice McReynolds,
of the supreme court, on the ground
that he had appointed negro to
iudgship in the District of Colum-
bia, are not quite fair. Certainly
it is unjust to compare him to the re-
pudiated Cole Blease, of South Caro-
lima. Vardaman upholds the law.
while Blease cries it down. Varda-
man is eminently consistent in his at
titude toward the negro, and no
matter what we think about it, his
people seem to have agreed with him
since they have elected him to the
senate.
The particular judge in question has
served long on the bench in Washing
ton, displaying unusual ability and
giving entire satisfaction. He has
been retained in Office by pervious
Democratic administrations as well
as by Republican, but that cuts no
ice with Senator Vardaman, who has

The bankers Of Mississippi could do much
to encourage liberalization if they would 9n
nounce that they would make loans on live stock
There is an awakened interest throughout this
section in the live stock industry, and many am
bilious worthy young man would be helped on
the road to success by liberal attitude toward
them on the part Of the banks in accommodations
with live stock as security. With an insurance
policy on the life of the animal and mortgage
to protect the bank, it would be as safe loan
as one on cotton. This plan is followed by the
banks in the North and West and the develop
ment of the live stock business has made that
section rich. Mississippi could do the same
