INDIAN FAD SENSE OF HUMOR
At Least Enough to Get of Good Joke
on the Cross-Examining
Lawyer.

From Fenimore Cooper and other
authorities we have gained the i'm
preston that the Indian is a stOlid,
severe individual, with no sense Of
the white mans humOr, but one red
brother showed himself quite q civ
ilized joker the other day in the Unit
ed States court at st. Paul. He was
a witness in a holly contested case,
and a lawyer was after him in the
most approved style to cast discredit
on his testimony. After apparently
frightening the Indian with the awful
consequences which would follow the
slightest deviation from the truth, the
lawyer solemnly said:
Now, sir, | want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shutting or
evasion. | want you to look me
square in the eye and tell me how you
get your living?"
The Indian looked straight at the
lawyer ard, with that grave air ia
miliar to all acquainted with the red
man, simply said: Eat"
The courtroom roared and the law
yer let the witness go.

Ambition and Humility.

The highest ambition is the parent
of the truest humility; it makes one
realize that our ultimate aim is so
high that we need a power far beyond
our own for the accomplishments of
so transcedent a work; that if we
are truly to be co-workers with AL
mighty God himself in the working
out of the great scheme that rules the
universe, the task is far too great for
our unaided efforts, and We may con-
fidently rely upon a power divine to
help us in all our needs.

The Farmers Short Course at the
l.. s. t. was made up Of two cOnven-
tions. the Louisiana Horticultural So
Ciety continuing its sessions, and the
Louisiana Corn Growers Association
getting into action with energy and
enthusiasm.
The president of the corn growers
was r. T. Douglas until he enforced
rotation in Office, and Prof A f. Kid
der is secretary and moving spirit. He
IS also the author of a corn book
which the society will issue in a few
days, which will describe the varieties
that can best be raised in the state
and give other information which will
make it the permanent guide for the
industry. II will be the first such book
issued by any state.
The organization obtained the con.
sent OF the Louisiana Swine Breeders
to join in the erection of hog and
hOminy booth at the next State Fair,
This will show the corn and other
forage crops growing. as a basis for
profitable crop and hog production,

r. X. Boney of Mounds told of the
manner in which he selected both
early and late seed corn right in the
field. getting the ears that we're abso.
lutely perfect and uniform for his
seed patch, taking very few ears from
his broad acres for the purpose Their
was only problem in the plan. The
shorter stalk they were breeding
would meet the marked demand, but
he favored the growing of corn for
the feeding OF live stock to increase
the fertility of the soil so that they
could raise more corn to feed more
live stock. If that policy is followed
1t will then be best to develop the
largest stalk so that the corn would
make the most silage.
In the separate session, presided
over by Sam II. James. and the secre.
tary, Prof. G. l.. Tisbout, such experts
as Prof. +. J. Watson, Of the Calhoun
Experiment Station; Prof. J. G. Lee,
of the University's Agricultural De
partment, and o. C.. Smell of Hammond
made the statement that any fruit in
the world would grow in Louisiana.
They did not even exempt the apples,
although they only advised it's culture
for home consumption. The grape in.
dustry was spreading out, and in few
years there would be large commercial
vineyards, all over the state Pears
plums, peaches, strawberries, black
berries, grape and other fruit will
thrive IL properly planted and intellt
gently handled. They all gave exper,
directions as to methods. President
James, who is the Louisiana pecan
king, threw more valuable light or
that industry, and deemed that the
medium sized nut. of good flavor ant
oily, with a kernal that could be ex
tracted whole, was the ultimate idea
of the industry and the demand of the
future.

PAYING !. FOR A DYNAsTY's SINS:

Germany is paying bitterly for SINS
not really her own. The German peo-
nile are one of the kindliest in the
world, and just now they are denoun-
ced for unusual cruelty and brutal
ity. That this should be the case is
hest proof ever given OF the great
German national failing, which IS
excessive Difference to authority. The
German is absolutely unique in that
he combines high intelligence and
childlike obedience. He does not I'M
derstand how to rebel, and that is
something every nation should know
if it values it's existence.
The German people are not respon-
sible for the cruelties Of the present
war. When the Prussian armies IN
vaded France in 1870 they were no.
ted for their lstrict discipline and
their respect for the life and proper
ty of noncompliance. All things re-
QUESTIONED were paid for, and women
received protection and kindness. If
Germany has so changed as in this
war, it is due to the government, and
the government receives its color
from the Emperor. The government
is the Emperor and his encourage OF
parasites and sycophants.
Germany is dying of kaiserism. II
she would live she must put away the
evil thing. One group of men in
Germany have the power to save the
nation from its, extreme peril. They
are. Hindenberg, Mackensen, kluck
and their associate generals, twho
possess the confidence of the peo-
pie and command the German armies,
It is their duty to depose the En-
peror, establish provisional govern
ment and treat for peace. Germany
without the Hohenzollerns would re-
ceive easier terms than with Viii,
liam II. still governing and still like
" to make war at the next oppor,
tunity.
Unfortunately, the German gene
rails are not likely to take this bold
and desperate course. They vii
probably remain loyal until inevitable
destruction dcscends on Germany
When Charles l. threatened the vita
interests of England, he was decapi
tated. When Louis XVI. stood in TIT
way of the struggling French nation
he received like treatment. German.
might profit by their example. TIL
sad thing is that ruined and hope
less Germany will likely be fount
clinging to the HohenZollern devasta
tor just as loyalty as in the past
