wish the waist business was on c. o.

sells goods for cash, Birsky, never gets
no cancellations from nobody"
''Never mind. Zapp. You would see

going to be so crazy to buy automo-
biles. now that gasolene is showed up
SO high" Birsky said.
swell, that don't change my plans
any," Zapp replied, because the way
the waist business is after Christmas,
Birsky, if / owned the Hudson River
and automobiles was run with water,
1 couldn't afford a pushcart even"
Even so, Zapp, there's lots of fell
lers in the delicatessen business which
is obliged to run automobile deliveries,
and for every penny they've got TO
pay more on gasolene, they stick two
cents pound on paStrami oder Frank
furters."
"That again is something for a
manufacturer of sodanint oder pepsin
tablets to worry about, not me, Birsky.
Anyhow, Birsky, If cigar stores
couldn't sell cigarettes TO minors I'M
der the age of sixteen, there ought to
be a law prohibiting dhcatessen deal
ers from selling their machshovos TO
adults over the age of twenty-five. In
fact, Birsky, if Kansas and Maine
would go prohibition on delcatessen
instead of schnapps, Birsky, not only
would it be better for business, yum
derstand, but there would be less
crimes also. on account there more
fellers feels like committing murder
the day after one deicatessen supper
than ten minutes after a hundred high
balls, and don't you forget it. And
that's only one reason why Rockefeller

price OF gasOlene, because when am

Fifth Avenue at 4 o'clock in the after

with gasolene, but with benedictine
oder bay rum at a dollar thirty-fve

That's where you're making big
mistake, Zapp," Birsky said. ''Nowa-
days for an up-to-date teller, in way,
an automobile is, so-to-speak, practic-
ally a necessity"
"a four thousand dollar automobile
is a necessity" Zapp cried.

Pearl Fishers

1t is q well-known fRct that pearl
fishers and divers do not live long
They often have TO dive for 100 Gee
or more without any special outfit, and
the strain wears them out before their
lives are really half over. From a
depth Of 100 feet a pearl diver usually
brings up two oyster shells at a time,
1t is exciting work. The diver never
knows whether he has brought to the
surface a shell inclosing a priceless
gem or not. The Malay pearl divers
are, perhaps, the finest In the world.
When he is going to dive. the Malay
slowly lowers himself down from the
side Of the boat to the water and takes
several AGeaths, each breath getting
deeper - deeper. Finally, he takes a
tremendously long breath. turns head
downward, and plunges into the ocean
depths. In two. three or perhaps four,
minutes his form is seen in the water
coming up. His face is turned up
ward. His strong hands beat the wa
ter away from under him in vigorous
downward sweeps. His face looks ter
ribly strained. AT last, breathless, ex-
hausted. he reaches the surface ard Is
hauled into the boat, where he lies
emily exhausted. But in comparative
ly few minutes he is ready to plunge
again.

We regret to learn of the dealt of
Mr.. A. ]. Sewer, ST., of Madison par
ish, which occurred at. the home of
his son in law, Mr.. J. S. Agee, in Tai
lulah, in Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Sewer was born at Port Gibson,
Miss, in 1s45, and was therefore II
years of age. His parents were DR..
Geo. w. Sewer and Miss Sarah Knob.
DR.. Sewer was prominent practi-
toner in Claiborne county for many
years.
At the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween the States, deceased was among
the first from his State to join the
Confederate Army and made gallant
soldier. About 1876 Mr.. Sewer came
to Louisiana and located i'm Madison
parish, where he has resided contin-
uously, devoting his talents and en-
ergies principally to cotton planting
and was for years one of the largest
and most successful planters Of his
parish.
In 1866 Mr.. Sewer was married to
his childhood sweetheart, Miss Co.
lumbia Dobyns of Jefferson county,
Miss. This union was blessed with a
large family, of whom five daughters
and one son survive. They are: Mrs.
c. s. Utz of Hazelhurst,' Miss, Mrs.
Fred Young of Vicksburg, Mrs. j. 8.
Agee of Tallulah, Mrs. w. j. Ward of
st. Joseph, Mrs. A. G. Williamson OF
Readland, Ark, and Mr.. A. j. Sewer,
Jr., of Tallulah.
Mr.. Sewer was good man and
strong character and lived useful
and honorable life. Stricken i'm his last
years with paralysis he was tenderly
nursed and cared for by his children,
his daughter, Mrs. Agee, unselfishly
devoting herself entirely to his COM
fort. He was we'll known throughout
North Louisiana and had hosts of
friends who will, learn of his death
with regret.
In common with their many friends
