MAYOR ALPHE FONTELIEU.

In the death of Mayor Alpine
FOntelieu which occurred at his
home last Saturday evening at
s :45 clock, New Iberia lost one
of it's foremost citizens which was
a shock to the residents of the
whole community, many of whom
entertained hopes that he would
in time fully recover from the i'll
ness that Overcame his weakened
onsti1ution. Mr.. Fontelieu some
three months ago was stricken
with a severe attack of Grippe,
accompanied by temperature
which he could not overcome,
despite the aid of the best physi-
clans. Hoping to better his con-
dition he departed for kerrivlle,
Texas, accompanied by his wife,
but it was not long before he had
grown so weak that it was thought
best for him to return to his
home. From day to day he con-
tinued to grow weaker until last
Saturday night he was silent in
death. Deceased was elected
Mayor some twenty-five months
ago under the Commission Form
Of Government and did his best
to give the people Of New Iberia
a good administration. Alpine,
as he was generally known, APP
peared at first blush to be man
of cold disposition, but when once
he was better known. it did not
take long to realize that he was
not only charitable but big heart
ed even to a fault. The funeral
services were held under the
auspices of the independent Or
der Of Red Men and Woodmen OF
the World Lodges of which he
was popular member, after
which his remains were inferred
in Rose Hill Cemetery on Sunday
afternoon at $50 o'clock. In the.
funeral procession were also be-

The lectures at the Presby-
terrain church given by the noted
lecturer Sunshine Hawks has been
attracting large audiences in
that little church nightly. The
lectures will continue there to-
night and Sunday morning and
night at the usual hours. Next
Monday night Mr.. Hawks will
deliver his favorite lecture An
Evening of Sunshine and Sha-
dows' in the High School Audi
forum. The price of admission
for adults will be only 25c, while
the children will be charged 15c.
The gentleman bears a National
reputation and those who have
had the pleasure of hearing him
speak highly Of the literary treats
which have been afforded our peo-
pie. Mr.. Hawks was induced to
pay New iberia visit by Rev.
Paradis and it will be gratifying
to the gentleman to see a large
number turn out on that occasion.

Alabama Statesman Of

The most dramatic day Of the Sixty.

the speaker OF the house, took the floor
for his famous speech explaining why
he opposed President Wilson's policy
of repeating the Panama canal tolls
exemption law. Clark was on the los

vote would certainly uphold the presi-

his remarks in his vibrant, booming

BANQUETS THAT ARE FAMOUS
Old Romans Would Send to the Ends

Appealed to Them.

AT the famous banquet of Trimal-

was not merely banquet, but bur
lesque, and was given by a multi-mil-
liUnaire, as should call him today,
the gustus would have served the most

Corinthian bronze held two baskets Of
olives, white on one side, black on the
other. Then there we're dormice COW

sneezIna as a Diagnosis.

A sneeze is responsible for the dis
covery by City Clerk Newton that he
had three broken ribs and a dislocated
shoulder, says a Hanford (Cal) dis
patch to the Los Angeles Times. Sew
eral days ago Newton and number
of friends were returning from an
automobile ride when the machine
turned over. He was slightly injured
but thought nothing OF it.
Later he sneezed vigorously and
the pain increased; he sneezed again
and then fastened to see doctor
The physician, after an examination
informed him that he had three bro
ken ribs and shoulder out of joint
Since then Newton has been too i'll tc

had cast him out Of their councils!
They already thought of him as one
who had been.
In that passionate rush of feeling
everything that had happened since
he had left Misery seemed artificial
and dreamlike. He longed for the
realities that we're forfeited. He want
ed to press himself close to the great,
gray shoulders OF rock that broke
through the greenery like giants tear
ing off soft raiment. Those were his
people back there. He should be run
ming with the wolf pack, not coursing
with beagles.
He had been telling himself that he
was loyal and now he realized that he
was drifting like the lotus eaters.
He rose and paced the floor, with
teeth and hands clenched and the
sweat standing out on his forehead.
His advisers had OF late been urging
him to go to Paris. He had refused,
and his unconfessed reason had been
that in Paris he could not answer a
sudden call. He would go back to
them now and compel them to admit
his leadership.
Then his eyes fell on the unfinished
portrait of Adrienne. The face gazed
at him with its grave sweetness; its
fragrant subtlety and its hne-grained
delicacy. Her pictured lips were ST.
lently arguing for the life he had
found among strangers, and her vic
tory would have been an easy one, but
for the fact that just now his con.
science seemed to be on the other
side. Samson's civilization was two
years old-a thin veneer over a CEN
tury OF feudalism-and now the cen
tury was laundering its call Of blood
bondage. But, as the man struggled
over the dilemma, the pendulum
swung back. The hundred years had

bitterness to resent injury and injus.

his face on his crossed arms, while
his shoulders heaved in an agony of
heartbreak, and his words came in the
old, crude syllables: q 'lowe4 you'd

after that, and made fierce gesture

he said, bitterly, I'm shet of the lot
of ye. I'm done!"
But it was easier to say the words
of reputation than to cut the ties
that were knotted about his heart.
With a ranking soul, the mountain

ciously. He was trying to learn
much-and to forget much.
One sunny afternoon when Samson
had been in the Quarter Latin for
eight or nine months the concierge of
his lodgings handed him, as he passed
through the cour, an envelope ad-
dressed in the hand of Adrienne Les
colt. AS he read 1t he felt glow of
pleasurable surprise. and, wheeling. he
retraced his steps briskly to his lodg-
ings, where he began to pack. Adri-
enne had written that she and her
mother and Wilfred Horton we're sail
ing for Naples, and commanded him,
unless he were too busy, to meet their
steamer. Within two hours he was
bound for Lucerne to cross the Italian
frontier by the slate-blue waters OF
Lake Maggiore.
few weeks later Samson and Ad
rienne were standing together by
moonlight in the ruins of the Coli
scum The junketing about Italy had
been charming, and now in that circle
of sepia softness and broken columns
he looked at her and suddenly asked
himself:
Just what does she mean to you?"
If he had never asked himself that
question before he knew now that it
