When we make up the inven-
tory Of our lives. if our hearts
have any appreciation of true
values, if we have learned to dis
tinguish between life's tools and
its product, we find that those
things we could least afford to
lose are those that have come
upon us without our labor, per-
haps without our deserving al
ways Beyond our powers of pur-
chase. How foolish then, are we.
who have the greatest, the endhr-
ing treasures by simply taking
them. if we waste our powers and
our time in striving after the
things that are not worth while.
There are at least two ways OF
loving-one is to try to make
enough money to be able to buy
pleasures or affection or what
ever you may most desire. the
other is to keep the life ever open
to all the joy and love and enrich
ing that is about it.-Ex.

WILLIE DECUIR.

Last Saturday evening at nin'
o'clock, Willie Decuir quietl,
breathcd his last at his mother
home on Julia Street and New
Iberia as well as his family
grieved over the loss Of a goot
citizen. A scion of one of the
most respected and influential
families Of this ection. Mr.. De.
cuir was born in New Iberia, MAY
1886 and resided here through
out his useful life, always aiding
to make life in his home City
more happy and contributing his
just quota towards its advance
ment.
At the death of his father,
Mr.. Arthur Decuir, first assistant
cashier Of the New Iberia Nation
al Bank, which occurred during
his early childhood. the decedent
was called upon to assist his
widowed mother in caring for his
three young sisters; and even
though some years later his moth
err contracted a second marriage
with Mr.. V. M. Aubry, filiaI de-
votion prompted that he should
continue by her side and share
his earnings with her that his
younger half sisters and brother
might be deprived Of no com
forts.
Long identified with the Globe
as chief clerk, Mr.. Decun' was ac-
counted one of the best statesmen
of this City, Of pleasing personal
lty, affable and courteous, he at
tracted many customers to him
self and by fair treatment, not
only retained these customers, but
made friends Of them.
A devoted son, "a loving brother,
loyal friend and a good citizen
has passed away. To his be-
reaved family we offer our sympa-
thies, and hope that the knowl-
edge Of his well spent life viii,
serve to mitigate their present
grief and sorrow.
His funeral last Sunday after
noon was probably the largest
held here in a decade. Hundreds
of sorrowing ones crowded the af-
flicted home to have one last look
at the cOuntenance Of their friend;
while the Elks the only order
to which he belonged, surround
ed the hearse and, with bowed
heads, watched over the remains
of their brother as they were be-
ing borne to their last resting
place by the pail bearers select
ed from their midst. AT st. Pet
er's Catholic church where Rev.
J. M. Langlois performed the last
sad rights, the large edifice could
not contain the crowds and in or
der to pay proper tribute to the
memory Of Willie Decuir, many
were compelled to stand on the
outside during the church cere-
nony.
Mr.. Decuir is survived by
mother and step-father, Mr.. and
Mrs. V. M. Aubry, by three Sis
;ers, Mrs. Gordon A. Sandoz of
New Iberia; Mrs. John Gallery of
st. Mary and Miss Stella Decuir
