Berlin and London, Feb. 25l.- Emperor
William was on the actual firing line
when Won Hindenburg swept the Rus
slams out of Prussia.
He sped into Lyck thirty minutes after
the Germans, at heavy loss, had storm
ed the city While his troops were
rounding up Russians still hiding in
houses there the kaiser addressed his
soldiers in the market square, giving
vent to bitter words over what he term
the senseless destruction of property by
the Cars troops.
The kaiser was with his men when
they took Woszezollen, near Lyck, by
bayonet. His staff officers could hardly
restrain him from taking part in the
lighting 1t was impossible for them
to keep him out of immediate danger
The kaisers entrance into Lyck teem-
cd with the dramatic. 1t was as II
his arrival had been perfectly timed
as the climax to the third great scene
of triumph for German arms IN the
eastern theatre OF war. His big auto
mobile rushed into the East Prussian
city just as the cars armies, after four
days of desperate, bloody resistance, be-
gan fleeing the town.
Before the emperor's eyes, Won Hin
denburg and Won I.udendorf delivered one
of the mightiest smashes OF the war,
once more clearing German soil OF Rus
slams. The teHth Russian army under
Gen. Sievers, comprising eleven divisions
or 10000 men, was two-thirds captured
or ahnihiliated,
Won Hindenburg's might machine
swept through East Prussia with start
ling velocity, sending the Slavs seurry-
ing in retreat. The Russian Tenth army
that since last October had occupied the
narrow strip in East Prussia extending
from north of Gumbinnen southwark to
Darkehmen and below Johannesburg,
was rolled out of Germany, crushed and
disastrously beaten as the result of des-
perate battling east and south OF the
Mazurian .lakes.

IN MEMORLAM.

In memory of DR.. F. T. GouauS
who died in New Orleans, Jan
Is, and was buried in New Iberia
Jan. 10Th:
GOING HOME.
"Is your daily cross so heavy
That it's burden weight you
down?
Does the shadow hide the bright
ness
Cleaning round your waiting
crown?
Is your heart so sad and lonely.
Tossing wildly DER the foam
Courage, weary soul, remember
You are only going home!
Going home! weary Journey
Stormy, dark and rough the
way;
If the golden light has faded
And the night replaced the day {:
But reflect, poor, weary pilgrim,
Will it matter how you roam,
II the stormy waves but drift you,
Safely to the port-at Home?
Human love may bring you sor-
row,
Human love is poor at best;
Creatures know us just little
God alone knows all the rest"
A sad and memorable event.
one which brought forth many
memories of the past was the
Coming Home" for the last
time, Of DIR. F. T. Gouaux. New
Iberia had been the home of his
heart. the home of his children.
The home where, a silent grave of
mother and wife awaited her
companion. This loving mother
for twenty years sleeps the sleep
of the just. This grave ever
neat and tended, opened at last
for DR.. Gouaux.
Thy day has come, not gone;
Thy sun has risen, not set,
Thy life is now beyond,
The reach of death or CHANGE
Farewell.
Time and again had the mem.
bers of this family visited New
Iberia, for the principal dramas
OF their lives were enacted in this
Home of Sweet Memories. the

Land of Love and Romance. the
spoilt child Of "Mother Nature.
Mrs. Albert Haupt of Natchez,
Miss, eldest daughter of DR..
Gouau0, claims with pride her
Alma Mater, the Convent,
Mt. Carmel on the Teche, where
she finished her studies. For
many long years her baby sister
Lucille" was mothered by her.
What had been her "dream" was
realized when Lucille became q
student and graduated at Mt.
Carmel, her own sister, Mrs. A.
Haupt crowning her on her grad
uation. A few years more, her
child Angela Haupt, becomes q
student at Mt. Carmel and grad
yates with highest honors, in
Glass 1914. Again, the members
of the family visit the home Of
their childhood and join one more
link to the. chain of Memo
ries." So with all these sweet
memories crowding the mind
it became a. sad duty to meet the
bereaved ones. Their friends
arms wide open to receive them
-sympathized, sorrowed with
them and as the parting hour
came and the grave which held
father and mother was left to the
care Of friends, we asked our
selves "when shall we meet
again?" Will it be in sorrow or.
in painY We know not. But let
us erect for our friends a monu-
ment more enduring than brass or
marble in the hearts of those
who all, in their turn must be
Going Home" /.

1T CAN BE DONE.

Somebody said that it couldn I
be done,
But he, with chuckle, replied,
That "maybe it couldn IT, but
he wouldn' It be one
Who would say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in. with the
trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he
hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done, and he
did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh! you IL
never do that"
At least. no one ever has done
it;
But he took off his coat, and he
took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew
he'd begun it,
With the lift Of his chin, and a
bit of a grin,
Without any doubling or
quiddit:
He started to sing, as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done, and he
did it.
There are thousands to tell you
it couldn't be done,
There are thousands to proph-
esy failure;
There are thousands to point out
to you one by one
The dangers that wait to assail
you;
But just buckle in, with a bit of
grin,
Then take of your coat and
60 to it;
Just start in to sing, as you
tackle the thing
That "can not be DONE 'and
you II do it.

seeds. Lettuce planted now Will
do well, altho lsonally | prefer
the Fall planted crop. AS No
vember and December were such
bad months, quite a few farm
ers will want to plant this month.
1t is not too late.
There is no finer lettuce soil
in the world than the soil of our
Parish and as money crop it IS
probably the highest per acre of
any crop grown in the South. a
rich loan is the best soil and the
plant will stand a great deal of
moisture, in fact requires it. The
soil should contain considerable
humus. A complete fertilizer
should be used, but | have found
from personal experience, and |
have experimental a little with
lettuce, that it is a plant which
requires an unusual amount of
nitrogen. Put an extra amount
of cotton seed meal to the acre
and when the plants are ready
to force, use abort fifty pounds
OF nitrate of soda to the acre.
Don't economize on cotton seed
meal. The plants needs a world
of nitrogen and you should give
1t the necessary amount, to cause
quick growth and insure crisp
ness. A fertilizer Of six per cent
ammonia, five per cent Of avail
able acid phosphate and seven
per cent of potash will make a
good fertilizer. Besides this ap-
ply the nitrate of soda.
1t is best to soak the seed in
water for an hour Or so before
planting, and have your bed
we'll prepared, then SOW and COW
ar lightly. When strong enough
i transplant in rows, about one
DOT apart and from eight to ten
