Last Sundays

A very large crowd witnessed the

team from Vaudeville, in which the
latter were defeated by the very one

rightly be termed comedy Of err

box score as errors of commission
while the errors OF commission were
nearly as large.
Last year Covington was not rep

Prof. Park, who has returned as
principal of the high school, after a
years absence, that a team has been
gathered this late in the season, and
while we may confidently see a first

here is Id al for winter ball, and
with the many semi-professional ball
clubs in the Crescent City, the time
is opportune for a winter schedule
that will afford the many fans some

RATES TO THE FAIR.
They Are Made Unusually Low by the
Railroads fer November 4.11.


II you dent take advantage Of the
opportunity of visiting the Louisiana
State Fair this year, 1t wont be the
fault of the railway companies or the
State Fair management. They came
to an agreement early in the summer,
whereby reduced passenger rates
would be authorized on all railroads
Operating into Shreveport. The rates
will be as low as they were last year,
and they were unusually reasonable
then.
In addition to the general reduced
rates, applying throughout the week
OF the Fair, there will be spec al, one
day rates, when excursions will be
run over the different roads. These
trips will be so arranged that the
round trip may be made within day
and night.
The railways are interested in the
Fair. They realize that it means
general development in the country,
and that means better business later
on for the railroads. They are show
ing their interest by giving such low
rates that almost anybody viii be
enabled to make the trip.
The rates this year apply with n a
radius embracing East Texas, South
Arkansas and Louisiana. Immense
crowds are expected.
For particular information about
the rates. schedules, ETC., apply to
the local railroad agent. s.
Dates of the Fair are November
to IL.

During the days OF the 18th and

The enemy is engaging in q de-

During the pursuit Of the enemy
by our troops after the battle OF the
Marne, the Germans abandoned num-

these men there has been added a
large multitude of stragglers who
were hidden in the forests.

Kathlyn began ker journey at once.
Now that she was on land, moving to.
ward her father, all her vigor returned.
She felt strangely alive, exhilarated.
She knew that she was not going to
be afraid Of anything hereafter. To
enter the strange country without hav-
ing her purpose known would be the
main difficulty. Where was Ahmed
all this time? Doubtless in cell like
his master.
Three days later she stood at the
frontier, and her servant set about
arguing and bargaining with the ma
houts to engage elephants for the three
days, march through jungles and
mountainous divides to the capital.
Three elephants were necessary.
There we're two howdah elephants and
one pack elephant, who was always
tagging behind. Through long aisles Of
magnificent trees they passed. across
hot, blistering deserts, dotted here and
there by shrubs and stunted trees, In
and out Of gloomy deflles of flinty
rock. over sluggish and swiftly flowing
streams. The days were hot, but the
nights were bitter cold. Sometimes a
blue miasmic haze settled down, and
the dry, raspy hides Of the elephants
grew damp and they fretted at their
chains.
Rao. the khitmatgar Kathlyn had
hired In Calcutta, proved invaluable.
Without him she would never have
succeeded in entering the strange

A strong argument in favor OF the
