Der of one of the most influential

spected by all citizens. His
death came as a terrible shock to
the entire community, as it was
not generally known that he was
in any way seriously i'll.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. San
doz arose apparently feeling in a
fine condition and went to his
place Of business. That night,
after retiring he complained Of
being cold and not feeling well,
at the same time telling his wife
that he thought he was choking.
Mrs. Sandoz Immediately went
about the house arranging hot
water bags, and was greatly sur
prised upon returning to the room
to find her husband unconscious.
Neighbors and the family physi-
clan were called in, and every
thing to restore the aged gentle
man to his senses proved futile.
He began sinking rapidly and
died the following morning.
Mr.. Sandoz reared a large
family and is survived by his
wife and 13 children. He was
married twice, his first wife be-
ing Marie Sandoz, while his Sec
ond was Miss Lucy Judge, of Ma
poleonville. The children from
his first wife are: Lieutenant
Fritz Sandoz, U. S. N, Norfolk,
Va. Morgan, Claude, Elbert, and
Lebvre, N. O., Mrs. in. Daniels
of Star Hill, Mrs. 1. S. Hyner of
Angola and Misses Annie and
Rosa. Four children from his
second wife survive him, O'Rielly
Joel, Anne and Emily.
Funeral ceremonies were held
at the Catholic Church, inter-
ment being made in the Catholic
cemetery, where large number
Of people from all over the par
ish assembled to pay their last
tribute to one of the most noble
citizens of Opelousas.
Mr.. Sandoz was a member of
the Opelousas Hope Hook &

TWO FOREST FIRES
 STARTED NEAR NIANTIc.
One Made All Night Fight to Protect
 Other Property.

Two forest fires broke out near Ni- antic Wednesday about o'clock. The fire warden got out all the available men and started them out to help ex- ttinguish the fires The first one started near the new Quarrries in the Roxbury district, but fortunately sev- eral men were nearby and after an hours work this one was put out en- tirely.
 The other one at Taber Hill near Flanders got beyond control and the men were at it all night.
 Tho second fire started below the house of John Comstock and burned over the same land that a fire went over Q year ago and over a great deal more and completely destroying everything as it went.
 A large number of people have got sick of fighting forest fires as a great many have fought fires and received no money for services. It is not known how the fire started, but it could easily have been stopped as it was burning against the wind and if it had been backfired early in the day d great deal of property would have been saved. Until Wednesday even ing no one went out to fight the fire except some who owned land near it.

MIpDLETOWN RECTOR
 AT LENTEN SERVICE
Rev. E. Cannpion Aeheson Was the
 Preacher at Christ Episcopal Church.

Rev. B. Campion Acheson, of Mid dletoWn, rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, was the preacher at the third of the united Lenten services of Christ and Trinity Episcopal church. es, held at Christ church on Thursday evening. Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trinity Episcopal church. read as the first lesson, the ninth chapter of Ezra and as the second lesson part of the ninth chapter of Mark, and prayer was offered by Rev. R. R. Graham. rector of Christ church
 Rev. MT. AcheSon took as his text Matt. ,: 4: Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be conforted" Rev AIr. Acheson said the disciples had gathered about the Master on the mountain side and that a great crowd of people had assembled as they wished to know about Iife's problems His first word riveted their attention. He was the Master of blessedness and he could point the way. He told them in simple language the story of His kingdom. Rev. Mir. Acheson hkened the passive virtues to the foundations of theschurch. deep down and unseen, but providing support for the building. The passive virtues form the basis of the foundation of the righteous life. The speaker said the essential part of the confirmation is Gods blessing. Heaven is Gods gift for the poverty
 
 munlcn we reach out our hand to re- ceive Gods supreme gift.
 - -s Rev. MT. -Acheson said the laws of the Kingdom of heaven are progress siVe. Do what we may, no human power can banish from the world and from ones life the thingss that cause mourning. The mourning caused by bereavement, though fruitIess to alter conditions, is fruitful in bringing heav- en nearer. To mourn with those who mourn brings out from hidden places sweetness and power. The mourning which is the outcome of poverty, the outcome of the first beatitude, is pro- duced by a vision of the spirit. It may come in distress, sickness or Sor- row, but blessed is the man to whom 1t does come and who dedicates his life to God. This mourning we call repentance, or penance. Esau's tears testified that though he had lost his birthright he had not lost his soul. most soul. the signs of repentance. God comforts the nnourners and wipes away their tears. 'tHardness of heart" said the speaker, lis almost sin against the kingdom of God" Repentance may go on without outward tears, that is, by deeds. 'FYe that do truly repent of your, sins. draw nearer. and take the sacrament from your Comforter This, then, is the blessedness that comes to those who mourn, comfort Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.''
 On next Thursday evening the united service will be held at Trim ity Episcopal church and the preacher will be Rev. A. Burtis Hunter .prin- cipal of St. Augustine's school, Ra- leigh, N. C.

NOT THINGS BUT PERSONS
 MAKE REAL HOME. General Secretary Hill Was Speaker at Talk at Hopkins & Aliens.

General Secretary Edwin Hill was the speaker at the Y. II. c. A. shop meeting held Thursday noon at the Hopkins and Aliens plant and, his talk was given with reference to the essentials of a happy home.
 Secretary Hill said Paul the great apostle wrote Husbands Love Your Wives" and Children Obey Your Parents Home is one of the sweet est words in our language and it is crowded full of meaning.
 No matter where we go we find our selves living in the spirit of the lines -fbe it ever so humble there's no place like hen.e,a and we might ask our selves what makes home so attractive to us? Is it the location, the furni- ture, the conVel.iences? No, no, some people are unhappy in palaces while others enjoy perfect contentment in very humble homes.
 Not things, but persons make a, real home. Perscus who love make home: those. who, because they love, are un- selfish and live and seek the welfare of others. Then where there is true love in q home there is trustfulness; there is absolutely no suspicion, and perfect confidence in each other Where this condition obtains each is anxious to serve the other there is no boss in a, home of love, but comrade- ship and courtesy reign supreme, and eacn IS ready to Sacrlhce for the other, in a home ruled by love sorrows van ish and one can rest from the bur- deps Of life.
 We might ask what ruins home? Selfishness plays an important part and bad habits break up the har- mony.
 The influence of parents on children is tremendous and the father should guard himself right here. heard of & home from which the father had been taken, and as the boy and his mother sat in the presence of the life less form of that faithful father, the boy through his tears looked into his mothers face and said, Mother, next to you he was my best friend.' Let US live so that when we are taken our childreh will feel thus about us.
 The family IS the foundation of so- ciety. As someone has said, like home. like state, like nation."' How important, then. that we make our homes what they should be. There is but one way to do this and that is by permitting the spirit of the Master, Jesus Christ to rule in the home When we reckon the members of the family let US count the unseen guest as one, and cur home will then be- come heaven OF earth,
