REAL ESKIMO DOGS
IN SHOW WINDOW.
Descendants Of Peary's Huskles
Attract Thronas.

Descendants Of Peary's Huskies
Attract Throngs.
An unusual sight can be seen
i'm the window of Dogland, in West
Thirty-ninth street, where five
Eskimo husky puppies are on
view. These pups are pure bred
and their sire and dam accom-
panied Peary on his return from
his trip to the pole. They were
born in the heart of the Catskills
and are the only pups of this
breed that have ever been known
around here. Peary in his last
dash for the pole had a great
number of these dogs, but COM
ing back many of them died from
starvation and on the last lap Of
his return journey there were
only four left of the original 246
dogs. Two Of these dogs are the
sire and dam of the puppies now
in New York. Peary brought
them back to Maine and gave
them to Master Robert Harris of
New York, boy for whom the
explorer had great attachment.
These dogs are kept in the Cats
kills, where young Harris drives
them to small wagon.
In commenting on the dogs
owned by the Eskimo Peary has
the following to say: 1.-The dogs
of the far north are magnificent

given by Mrs. Leonard Parkhurst
and Miss Idabel Briggs at the
home of the former on West

The guests were promptly ush-
cred into the dining room at Z
o'clock and seated at one long
table, where covers were laid for
ten. The table, which was set in
banquet style, was most beauti-
fully decorated in yellow and
white. A-large bouquet Of yellow
jonquils placed on a table mirror,
to which long ribbons Of yellow
crepe paper strung icoD the
shade, formed a very pretty CEN
terpiece. Tiny fluted mat cups
and place cards OF yellow with
neat rose designs were also added
to the table details. Hand painted

--O--
a NEW FIRM.

You will find an Announcement
in this issue of new firm which
has been organized here to take
up the selling of the famous Avery
line of tractors, separators and
plows, which are already very
favorably known to many farm
ers of Harrison county.
This firm consists of Mr.. A. e..
Edgecomb and. John S. McGav-
ern, both successful business men
of this town, and the fact that
they have taken this proposition
up and ordered twelve tractors to
be shipped soon is an assurance
that there is a future for this line
of machinery here, and that the
Avery line is the very best on the
market.
Mr.. Edgecomb is an authority
on good machinery and states to
all Avery customers and pros
pective customers that they will
be taken care of in a way known
from experience they should be
taken care of.
There is a demand for firm
of the kind here and the reputa-
ton of these two men makes us
safe in saying that you will be
dealt with honestly when buying
of them.
Last evenings services at st.
Patrick's church closed the mis-

were we'll attended and thoroughly
enjoyed by the members and many

ADELINA PATTI
THE QUEEN OF SINGERS

There was time, and it is not en-
tirely passed, when to mention prima
donnas you would instantly think of
Adelina Patti. She was born in Mad
rid, Spain, and her parents were
She first sang at an early age in
New York, but her fame was secure
after her first appearance in London,
and from that time she held high
rank as one of the first singers of
the day The rich bell-like quality of
her voice and remarkable evenness of
tone had range as a high soprano
never surpassed, and her cadenzas and
trills were the delight of her admirers
Adelina Patti will owe much of her
fame to the way and manner in which
she sang Comm Thro' the Rye" al
though her greatest success was Mar
guerite" in Gounod's Faust" She
never underestimate the value of the
songs that touched the heart The Last
Rose of Summer is a song that will
always be identified with Patti.
Comm Thro' the Rye and When
to Thy Vision from Gounod's Faust,
both are to be found in Heart Songs,
the book now being offered to the read
ers of this paper, at cost of distribution
and six coupons. THE Last Rose of

many favorites of Patti that render the
book a possession that should be one
of the treasures to be found in every
home.

The labor question is again prominent
and gets its full share of the public atten-
ton. The point now being agitated is
whether the present demand for increased
wages means that there is corresponding
increase in efficiency Of labor. A theorist
may concern himself with such an issue, but
to the labor organizations there is but one
cardinal plank in the platform: Shorter
hours and more pay" To this demand
business must respond, or labor will keep
up the turmoil. In time it will be shorter
and shorter hours and more and more pay,

RURAL BANK

Mayor Behrman has issued call for
the capitalists Of New Orleans to meet FRI
day with the object Of organizing a Rural
Credit Banl; for that city. The move Of the
Mayor is one OF interest and Importance TO
the entire State and we hope that his efforts
will be successful. One OF the drains Oh the
farming business in Louisiana results from
high interest rates, coupled with the diff
Guilty of securing long time farm loans.
Surrounded with proper safe guards no
investments offer safer security than mort
gage loans and it seems remarkable that this
profitable business should have remained
undeveloped to this late day. Cheap loans
will develop the country that enjoys them,
land values will automatically rise and in
crease the value Of the collateral held by the
rural bank.
The moneyed men Of New Orleans have
an opportunity to assist the rural sections of
the state; to enlarge the business Of New
Orleans and to invest their money in the
safest possible way. If SUCH bank is III
cOrporated we feel sure that the country will
cooperate by giving such an institution the
first option on loan business and thus keep
the money at home. This last proposition
alone justiies strong efforts toward the pro-
posed organization.

STATUS UNCHANGED

The newspapers Of the State are COM
nenting on the law pas ed at the last session
giving property rights to married women.
We have seen only an outline Of the
law. but we feel sure that it will be almost
as easy for married woman to get rid OF
her property under the new law as 1t was
under the old law.
About the only way to protect woman
is to require that she can contract marriage
only with man who has stood a civil service
examination for competency and qualified
for honesty by giving bond in d surety COM
pany. We see no reason, however, why a
married woman should not control her pro
party, as well as control her husband. Nor
why she should not have the right to
squander her money on her husband Or any
body else. The law reads good though 1t
makes no material change in the relations CT
husband and wife.
If the wife is the right kind she can get
all her husband has; i the husband is net
the right kind he gets all his wife has under
the old law. He can Go no better under The
new law.

A FORLORN HOPE

The Times-Picayune closes lengthy and
hypercritical review of the politi-
cal mistakes of the Hon. John M. Parker as
follows: ct is unfortunate for city and
state and also for Mr. Parker that he was
not content to remain in the Democratic
party, and continue his fight for reform
within the party" But why not view Mr..
Parker as an instrument, rather than d con-
triver, of that divinity that Snaps our ends. +"
Louisiana seems to have come out Of The re-
cent campaign in spite Of, if not aided by
Mr.. Parker's effort to change her political
regime, anything but unfortunately" And
may not his call for another Progressive con-
vention, which the Times-Picayune views
with Every much doubt" however designed
help prevent the Progressive votes from fol-
lowing Colonel Roosevelt into the Hughes
procession; and thus contribute to Democr&-
tic sucesS?- Vicksburg Herald.
In Louisiana the Progressive is the fe,-
low whose main object is to diSIodge the
fellow already in Office Of course he pron-
ises responsiveness, coHstructiveness and
Americansm, but after all, he is simply
fighting the powers that be. For this reason
we fear that no power or influence could
bring the ProgreSsiveS to the support of
Wilson, the man in Office. Consequently he
lis the man whose defeat the ProgressiVe's
desire.

ANENT THE CUT IN SALARY

The murder OF Sheriff Marion Swords,
Saint Landry Parish Monday while he was
attempting an arrest shocks and enrages the
whole state. Mr.. Swords through long
service was one Of the most widely known
men in the state. His geniality in no wise
detracted from his strength as a man
One fact eXemplifed by the death Of
Sheriff Swords is the danger that every
peace officer Of the state is under.
The claims made by the sherjffs in con-
nection with the recent act # the legislature,
that the element of personal danger in full
filing the duties of the shcriiFs Office should
be taken into account in arriving at fair
salary basis, has had an unfortunate though
positive confederation in the killing Of the
Saint Landry officer. We are strengthened
in the belief that the SEcrffs should receive
high pay.
The killing Of Mr.. Swords is but another
Ink IN the chain Of circumstance that in
duced this belief.

Mr.. Parker is credited with perfectly
good faith in the position he assumes in his
relation to the progressive party. 1t isl
proper to credit him with good faith but at
the same time he must be credited with
very bad Judgment. Every amatuer poll
tician in the state knew that the progress
i've party was dead and that its leaders had
long ago set steps to get into the repubIi-
can band wagon. Mr. Parker was repeat
edly warned that the progressive party was
dead and his campaign in this state under
The claim of being progressive was due to
his desire to be segregated from the repubF-
can party and its odium in Louisiana. MIR.
Parker's present bombardment would indi-
cate that he is trying to prove that ne did
not know of the death of the progressive
party. And after all to what extent should
we credit him with sincerity in his effort to
resurrect the progressive corpse, which has
been so long dead?

of life but the low sections We're inundated
for many hours. Crops, Of course, suffered
great damage. Our information or memory
may be at f~1lt, but it does seem that the
elements, ran and storm, break loose with
more intensity Of recent years than ever
known before. If we are not in error as to
facts, will some one explain the reason for
such drastic weather.

The successes of the allies continue and
the Teutons are being gradually pushed
back. The victories of the Russians in
Austria are so pronounced as to excite some
talk of the possibility Of Austria suing sep
arately for peace. OF course the allies have
not yet reached the main German defenses;
but, the Germans having lost most of the
ground gained at the inception of the war,
it is hard 20 see what they expect to ac-
c)mpliSh after they have been forced back
to their own lines. But so far, they con-
tinue to fight with no sign or giving up.
On the other hand, the allies show a more
sanguine spirit than at any stage since the
war began.

Because most national bank defalcations
are by employees retained or single set Of
books continually Comptroller Williams is
trying to induce all banks to grant early va
cations so that records may be examined
during the employees absence. Many small
banking institutions do not allow annual
leave, it was disclosed by replies to query
included,Ssi Sin the latest call for bank state
ments. The comptroller said tonight that
he was interested primarily m preventing fal-
styling of records and embezzelment by this
means, rather than in exercising a paternal
supervision of employees welfare" The fore
going Washington dispatch is not calculated
to enlarge faith in humanity. Considering
the fact that there are thousands engaged
in the work referred TO, it looks strange that
such uncalled for insinuations should be
spread broadcast.
