to tell her how sweet Mary was
and how l thought 1t would be
fine to have Jack settled down
when he went in business with

(Which he will never be able

Waverly with compressed lips.
Immediately there came into
my mind that old Greek poem
where the poet called "a rock the
mother-in-law of ships" and
wondered IL Jacks marriage was
to be wrecked by his mother.
"Oh, Dad has already fixed 1t
up with Jack" said quickly.
And then I'm the last one to

heat of anger. You probably

There's tramp stealing a
ride on that forward boxcar. Go

George walked over the car

and then reared:

thrift, politeness and energy are the
factors which won DIR. b. ]. Dumas
place ia the hearts of the people in this
part of the country. He is considered
one of the most successful business
men among our people in this part Of
the state. His success should be an
inspiration to many boys who go
around with their heads down declar-
ing that their race or color operates

use OF the mind, its training and the

Henry j. Dumas was born in Houma,
La. country town, in 1875. He went
to the parish school, where he got the
foundation on which to build his future
education. When he had finished at the
parish school his parents sent him to
the Houma academy, from which he
graduated in the spring of 1896 He
declared then and there that he was
going to make the world know that he
lived in 1t. and thus far he has made
good.
Holding diploma from an academy
did not mean that his student days
were over. He wanted trade or pro-
fession. He taught for year In the
public school ut Houma and then en-
