OLD SECESSION
ORDINANCE BACK
IN GOVT. FILES

Washington, July 29.-When the
pending bill passes Congress. prOvid-
ing for the return of the ordinance of
secession of the state Of Louisiana to
It's native archives, the files OF the
War Department will lose one of
their most curious possessions.
No one remembers exactly how the
old zinc tube containing the record
of the convention which voted to
leave the Union. reached the Depart
ment. The case bears the simple
legend painted on It's cover:
STATE OF LOUISIANA
Ordinance OF Secession
January &c. 1881.
This Is the only one Of the ten
other similar documents that the
government possesses Different
stories exist as to the means by
which the relic reached the capitol.
1t is said that General Butler. when
he took New Orleans, seized all the
official papers he could find and sent
them to Washington. 1t is possible
the old brown tube containing its
message came North with other tro-
phies of war.
As far as the record shows the or
,iinancc first came to light in n
drawer of Colonel Cor
bins desk in the Adjutant- G Gcneral's e
Department. 1t was delivered to
Major General Davis, now retired. in
1895. and from him It went to the
Secretary of War who ordered II
placed on the files.
The parchment is yellow with age
but in excellent condition and per-
fectiy Iegibile though some of the
signatures are a bit faded. The text
Is divided into two parts. in English
on the left, and French al the r,snt.
lAntiquarians and students of history
have frequently sought permission to
copy the quaint old document, which
reads as follows:
An ordinance to dissolve the un-
ion between the State of Louisiana
and other States united with her In
the compact entitled The Constitu-
tion of the United States of Ameri-
ca
1--WE, the people OF the State of

Peril of Cosmetics,

There is another war disaster, but
one We can readily endure. and that
is the loss Of the drug and cosmetic
imports, says the Columbus (O) Jour-
nal. Many Of the most important
drugs come from Europe. and the sup
ply Of these will be cut down materi-
ally. while cosmetic imports will al
most disappear from the market.
There are two things that we can we'll
spare. We use too much drugs, and
as for the cosmetics the women are
beautiful enough without them. It
would doubtless be matter OF public
policy II the women were prohibited
from making themselves any more
beautiful than they are. II cosmetics
helped them to do this, of which there
is serious doubt, 1t would be well II
the tariff we're made SO high as to
be prohibitory. But there will be no
need Of this, since cosmetics. as a rule.
make women less attractive and con-
sequently less harmful to men.
Beauty ought to be moral influence,
but that depends on the kind OF per-
son he or she is.

STUDY OF BABYOLOGY
FEW POINTS CONCERNING THE
MONARCH OF THE HOUSE.
Writer Wisely Remarks That 1t Is
Well, Considering Their Potential
tiles, That They Come Only
In Small Sizes.

Babyology is a very fascinating
study, 80 absorbing, in fact, that 1t
is better for beginner to study
some one else's baby. Then the sub
ject can be dropped-in soft place,
Of course-at any time. Undertaking
to study her own baby, the student
may have so much knowledge thrust
upon her that her brain reels and her
back aches, yet she cannot play hooky
without incurring the penalties of the
truant law.
A male baby may grow up to be a
philosopher and gentleman, but in
his earlier years he is as unreason-
ing and ill-tempered as hornet. He
will howl without provocation and
kick his own mother in the face while
she is trying to pull pin out Of his
leg.
A girl baby always has chance to
become a sweet, love BILE. useful wom-
an; but II she is the only baby. has
foolishly fond parents. and is unpro-
tected from grandmotherly influences,
the chance is only one In million.
A man hates to play second fiddle to
anything, and most Of all does he rebel
at taking back seat in his own
home; but when baby comes he soon
learns to accept an uncushioned pew
in the extreme rear and to be grateful
for that.
While bankers will advise a Gus
toner who can afford 1t to put some Of
his money in Babies, Ltd" they will
warn him that a baby Is not an adver-
tlsement, but speculation-you can
never tell how 1t will turn out.
Luckily babies come in small sizes
only. If they were manufactured in
six-foot lengths, with a proportionate
increase in their potentialities for cor
nering affections, vocalizing, and 9TH
erwise upsettlng the even tenor Of a
household, the legal limit would have
to be fixed at one baby per township.
And that would be carrying the doc
trine, Fewer babies and better ones. "

Bushman Scores Again.

Francis X. Bushman. Essanay screen
star, has won new laurels as a panto-
mimist by his skillful portrayal OF a
prosecuted man. whose chief offense
appears to be that he is rival In a
love affair OF an unscrupulous but In
fluential man. As a result OF this
mans enmity. he is made to suffer for
robbery planned by his adversary
and later an attempt is made to kill
him. which nearly succeeds.
"The Plum Tree" is the title OF the
latest photo drama produced by the
Essanay Film company from a story
which appears in a current issue OF
well.known magazine. featuring this
popular matinee idol OF the screen. II
is the first OF a series OF mystery
plays. each complete in itself, which

Surprised the Hobo.

John E. Brennan, the famous Kalen,
comedian. played joke upon hobo,
while THE Winking Zulu" was being
produced, which scared the knight OF
the dusty road out OF four years
growth.
The painting had been completed
and Brennan, on his way from the
studio one evening. almost stumbled
across the body OF hobo lying in
toxicated. An idea occurred to the
comedian. He impaired It to some OF
the attaches OF the studio, with the re-
suit that the tramp was carried into
the building and placed in front OF the
Winking Zulu.
Presently the hobo revived. His
eyes wandered about the building
confusedly and rested upon the
painting. It winked at him. Star
tied. tho tramp sat up. The Zulu
winked again. With a frightened
roar, the man burst through the
door. Brennan vows that the hobo
did the next mile in less than a
minute.
