NEW FAIRGROUNDS SITE.
Civic League Very Busy.

On Monday nisht the regular meet
ing of the Fifth District Civic League
was held, the principal topic of the
evening being the new location for the
Fairgrounds. Several new sites are
now before the League for cOnsidera
tion, one being the Randolph property,
corner Olivier and Delaronde streets.
A communication will be addressed to
Mr.. Randolph at Bay St Louis asking
his consideration of the matter. An
other site and the most desirable one,
being more centrally located, is the
Reynolds property, containing about
four or five lots, located at the corner
of Eliza and Valltte streets. The Civic
League will have committee looking
after this site and asking permission
for its use.
Regarding the McDonoghyille square
on the parish line, no supporters were
found in the League for this remote
place. 1t was pointed out that few
mothers would allow their children to
go this distance for a short time OF
play and on account of the residents
in that section being mostly negroes,
it was decided that the McDonoghville
park would not be considered.
The League is also making an effort
to secure for the Milk Station an art
rug, a wheel barrow, and a small heat
ing stove. If any persons have any of
these articles either to be donated or
loaned. the use of same under either
will be greatly appreciated
by this meritorious organization.

REV. J. p. cASSAGNE HAS RE-
TURNED.

1t was certainly a pleasure to see FIR
Cassagne back at his duties as priest
in the Church of the Holy Name OF
Mary, and those of his friends who are
not of his faith are equally glad 10
welcome him back TO our midst. FIR
Cassagne has been away from the work
of this parish since about the 18th OF
July, having gone to Gulfport, Miss, to
take charge of the church in that town
which was deprived of a pastor in the
sudden death of their late parish
priest. 1t is needless to say that the
resident. OF Gulfport were very anxious
to have FIR. Cassagne remain with them
but We are delighted that he is back
in dear old Algiers once more. and
hope that he will remain here for many
days to come.

HOW TO GET CHICKENS IN AND

BOX. is ASKED.

And now comes into court Mr.
Chicken Raiser. plaintn herein. who
declares. afiirms and asserts, that or.
Idinance No. l. OF the City Board OF
Health is vague and indefinite and OF
mo effect and impossible OF execution.
because OF the fac, that said ordi-
nance provides no way. manner nor
|meanS for placing chickens in the in
Iclosures described in said ordinance. %
/ This probably will be the plea OF a
citizen who called upon Dr O'Rcilly
Tuesday. and who raised a unique OBJ
lection to the chicken ordinance which
/ Major Hughes, attorney Of the Board
OF Health, has spent 50 much time in
drafting. DR. O'Reilly was out OF the
Office ar the time. but the citizen stat
ed that he wanted To ask the doctor
Il how he could get his chickens in and
out of the inclOSure if constructed ac-
tcordinS 10 the ordinance. as there j.
nothing in the law which provides for
a door
For rhose persons who reside in
what is known as Area No. p the
ordinance provides that chickens must
be kept in an inclosure surrounded by
| a wall of cement and covered with
chicken wire, and it says specifically
provided that openings may be let in
said surrounding walls for the purpose
of drainage only, and provided further
that such openings shall be securely
screened with a metallic grating hav-
ing openings between the gratings of
not more than One-half inch"
If the ordinance permits no open
ings except for drainage. and these
must be grated, how am | 10 get my
chickens into it or out OF it and how
am | to get my eggs" was the ques-
tiOn asked. Further, do have 10 tie
my chickens in the yard and then
build the inclOsure around them?
There is not a word in the ordinance
about a door
There were many applicants at the
Board of Health for copies of the
chicken ordinance Tuesday, and hun
dreds of copies were distributed. Many
questions were asked, but the inquiry
as to how the chickens could be put
into or taken out of an inclosure with
no door was the most interesting one
bmitted.-Times-P -Picayune.

MONEY DISAPPEARED.

Charles Harris, boatswain on the
steamship Norman Bridge, lying at the
head of Bermuda street, met up with
| two Englishmen while out on a lark
Thursday night and is now bemOaning
the loss of $240 which he says his
erstwhile companions stole from his
locker on the ship. He does not know
the names of the two fellows and can
not aid the police in their search for
the guilty parties.
Harris met up with the BritOns at
II o'clock and they accompanied him
to the ship at 4 o'clock after spending
the time intervening at a number of
saloons in the city. While in his room
on the ship Harris had occasion to
open his locker, exposing to the view
of his associates the roll. All three
then left for shore and INDUCED in
more drink, returning about o'clock
Harris left the two strangers in his
room while he went TO attend to some
work, and after an absence of II min
utes returned to find they had gone,
taking with them the money, which
they obtained by breaking the panel
of the locker door, which they kicked
in as is evidenced by the heel prints
on the woodwork.
William T. Schling, chief engineer of
the steamship Viking, lying\ at the
head of Bermuda street, reported to
the Algiers police at | o'clock Friday
morning the loss of a double-case IA
karat gold Waltham watch set with II
Jewels. While under the influence of
liquor Schling met two unknown white
men, who escorted him from the Ca
nal street ferry landing to his ship at
s o'clock, when he threw himself
across his bunk and fell asleep.
When he awoke at 1890 o'clock
Schling discovered his loss, the watch
having disappeared from his vest pock-

was stolen. AS it was not attached to

Lowell Relished a Little
Nonsense Now and Then

James Russell Lowell Is said to
have been of very fun-loying dis
position. Light-hearted jest and nom
sense were sprinkled plentifully
through the long life which was so
filed with solid, hard work and
achievement.
One day, when walking with a
friend, they passed a large building
over the door of which was written:
Home for Inourable Children"
"Ah," said Lowell, with shake of
his head, that is where shall have
to be sent one day."
Everybody knows of the immense
labors of David Livingstone in the
inhospitable part of Africa and of the
devotion of his noble wife. Does
everybody know that in the midst of
their lonely life they were often much
of the time as jolly as a pair of
schoolboys off on a holiday? To such
an extent did the spirit of mirth pre-
side over their counsels and under
tahngs that sometimes Mr.. Living
stone would say to his wife: Really,
my dear, we ought not to indulge in
so many jokes. We are getting too
old; 1t is not becoming. We must be
more staid."
Charles Kingsley was always bent
on introducing as much frolic and
merrymaking into his family life as
possible. He was proud to be able to
say: 1T sometimes wonder whether
there is as much laughing done in any
home in England as at our parson-
age."-Christian Endeavor World

food for cattle In order to save corn
and oats for human consumption.
A further considerable conserva-
tion Of both potatoes and cereal for
food purposes has been effected, said
the consul. by the decision of the gov
eminent to cut down the production
Of alcohol 40 per cent.
More extensive farming has been
planned" he declared. as well as
greater care in the conservation of
products hitherto considered as waste
materials"
Because in normal times more than
100000 tons of potatoes rot in Ger
many every year the government has
agreed TO lend farmers money TO
build drying houses. When the po-
tatoes are dried potato -four Is made.
Many bakers are already using as
much as 20 per cent. of this -four
with rye and wheat -four in making
bread, Dreyfus stated. The govern
ment is asking no interest on the
money until 1916.

A woman will often say what she
thinks when she says 1t without
thinking
A girl will not choose a book by
its covers, But she will judge a man
by his looks. .4.
If people could Hive without love
and money the jails would all be
closed and the police forces dis
banded.
Too many people are taking rest
cures when what they need is the
work cure.
It does not profit a girl much to
have eyes like dove If she has a
neck like an ostrich.
1t is no sin to be thirty years old,
But you will have a hard time find
ing an unmarried girl who Is that old.
It may sound queer, but 1t Is a
fact that the girl with the most
cheek never bushes.
A man will roar about the fool
fashions and tell his wife that women
have no sense of decency. But IL his
wife takes his advice and dresses SO
sensibly that she looks like some
thing left over from the Centennial
Exposition. and other men won't look
at her, he gets mad and wants a
divorce.
When they are counting he likes to
hear her sing and she likes to hear
him talk about himself. But it is
different after they are married.
If you doubt that love Is blind,
look around and see some of the

What Il Would Saw

A poorly trained schoolmaster had
taken his class into some public gar
dens and he brought them to a halt
beneath a certain spreading tree. His
botanical knowledge was small. but
that did not stop him from improv-
ing the occasion by a botany lesson.
"This is a beautiful old elm" he
said, and he drew the childrens at
tention to it's peculiarfties. ending up
by speaking of the people who in
ages past had rested in It's shade.
IT wonder" he added, what this
old elm would say II 1t could
speak?"
Unfortunately for the sclroolmaster,
a botanist who happened to be pass
ing overheard his little lecture and
promptly replied:
"If 1t could speak, your old elm
would simply say. Sir, I am an
