ThibodauI Church Burned

The fine Catholic Church of
Thibodaux was destroyed by fire
last week. This church was one
of the finest in the state and was
valued at from $4,000 to $4,000,
with only 5000 insurance. A
large amount of the valuable fur
nishing of the church was saved.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The church being outside of the
town, the Waterworks did not ex-
tend that far, and this was perhaps
the reason of the total destruction
of this valuable building. The
church will be rebuilt.

At the age Of seven he could recite

Bluma's first quarrel with Israel
was over the story Of the Creation.
Israel never could forgive Eve for
making Adam eat that fatal apple.

1t was considered generally by
the town of Pinsk great misfortune
for Bluma to be born. Poor Mrs.
Melnik was already burdened with
six little ones onl y two years apart
ITO him that hath shall be given,'
quoted the town wit, old Tra-la-la,
apropos of this event, respectfully SO
in the case of girls" Only five
months before, Mr.. Melnik was
found missing. 1t was thought that
the government officials were after
him for some socialistic conspiracy,
but there were malicious ways who
whispered among themselves that
Mrs. Melnik did not know of his
whereabouts and that he had as
good as deserted her. Mr.. Melnik
was not God fearing man. What
more evidence needed they when he
was discovered smoking cigarettes
on Sabbos? He also played cards
on other days besides Chanukkah.
He must have lost at least two
rubles a week at cards when he
should have been saving that money
for the dowry Of his eldest daugh-
ter Sarah. 1t was also whispered
that in the early days of their mar
ried life, Mrs. Melnik, whose spirit
had not yet been broken by the
nagging of her numerous brood, had
tried to break up game, like the
virtuous woman of the Proverbs,
but Mr.. Melnik had shown by brute
force who the master of that house
hold was.

Little Bluma was born with a ques-
ton mark and love for beauty.

big brown eyes, her hy-away raven
curls and her defiant little chin. She
kept her sisters in constant agony
