Holman Hunt. who began life rs q

agent, was constantly drawing por-
traits when he should have been draw
ing up leases, and in his chosen pro-
fession he was never slow TO seize the
flying moment. The windows in his
room were made OF ground glass, and
rs he had little to do he spent much
of his. time in drawing flies upon its
roughened surface. 4 blot Of ink suf-
feed for the body and some delicate
pencil strokes for the wings. and 9t a
distance the deception was perfect.
Day 10y day the number increased. and
one morning his employer came in,
stopped before the window and eX,
claimed; Il can't maize CIT how il is.
Every day that come into tlis room
there seem 20 be more and more lies
And. taking out his handkerchief, he

FOUR POSTER BEDSTEADS.
A Legacy From tho Days When People
Slept In Boxes.

OiSpe an GONSS,
IN medieval times, when life was
very Insecure, it was usual for people
to sleep on bed which was surround
ed by sides Of boards with strong posts
at the four corners These sides con
taired sliding doors. which could be
fastened inside.
When men retired to rest they took
a weapon with them. If attacked IN
the night they were aroused by tn,
noise made by the crashing in Of Their
wooden defense and were able to de.
fend themselves.
When the law became strong enough
10 protect human life the sides of the
bedstead were gradually dispensed
with, but the four posts remained. The
boxlike bedstead still survives in the
rural parts of Scotland and is almost
necessary where the carthen doors and
Imperfect ceilings cause much damp.
Emily Bronte In ''Wuthering Heights"
describes one of these bedsteads in the
Old mansions as forming a LITTLE clos

IN it, says. 81 slid back the panel sides,

About the lowly "goober," or pea

nance is woven. Incidentally, it might
be stated 516,654 acres were planted
to peanuts in 1899 in the United
States and S69,S87 acres in 1909, an
increase Of 6S.4 per- cent in 10 years.
The yield in 1899 was 1864 ,l09 bush

value of the 1899 crop was $7270.515;

the production is even larger than in

of the Louisiana Live Stock Associa-
ton at the annual meeting of the or

day. The association is composed of
prominent live stock breeders from
all sections of the state, and the dis

head is one of which Mr.. Mccall may
well be proud. At the same time it
will be generally recognized that
the honor has been most worthily be-
slowed, and that in selecting Mr.. Me-
Cali as it's president the association
has done itself a good turn and con-
ferred a compliment upon a young
man who has rendered valuable SER

stock: industry of the state. Among

Corporal Dudley L. Weber of Com.
pany H, First Louisiana Infantry,
now stationed at San Benito, Texas,
eloped from New Iberia Sunday with
Miss Flora ellen Evans, of that city,
and the young couple were married IN

place at the residence of the groom's
brother, Caleb G. Weber, and was
performed by Justice of the Peace
Edmund Maurin.
Leaving San Benito on furlough
Saturday afternoon, Corporal Weber
reached New iberia early Sunday
morning. Upon arriving there he met
his bride-to-be, by appointment, and
the couple started out to secure
marriage license. Owing to oppo-
sition to the match on the part OF the
brides father, license could not be
obtained in New Iberia, whereupon
the young people decided to elope.
Securing an automobile they pro-
ceeded to Baldwin, where they board
ed a Southern Pacific train on which
they journeyed to Schriever. From
there they went to Thibodaux, and
then came to Donaldsonville by au-
tomobile, via Napoleonville. Reach
ing here at $50 p. m. Sunday, they
repaired to the residence of Mr..
Weber's brother, where the nuptial
knot was securely tied an hour later
by Judge Maurin.
The newly-wedded pair left at
noon Monday for New Orleans, from
whence they proceeded to San Benlto,
where Corporal Weber rejoined his
company. His furlough expired
Thursday morning.
The groom is a well-known young
DonaIdsonvillian. but for some years
past has resided in Baton Rouge
His many friends throughout this sec,
ton join in exten5hg congratula-
tons and good. wish to the happy
pair.

Proposed School Tax Defeated.

The proposition to levy 10-mill
tax for five years for the purpose of
remodelling the Lake schoolhouse and
giving financial aid to the other
schools in School District No. 3 of
the parish of Ascension, was defeated
by the property taxpayers of the dis
trict at a special election held Tues
day of last week. Seventeen votes
were cast, of which thirteen were OPP
posed to the proposition and four in
favor. The property valuation repre-
scented was $4910 against, and $3.50
for. The outcome of the election was
q distinct surprise to the school Of
ficials OF the parish, since the senti-
ment of the taxpayers had seemed to
be almost unanimously in favor of
the proposed tax, and in fact, twenty
one signatures had been affixed to the
petition asking the school board to
call the election.
