pensive soap or anything else you car
use for shampooing, as this can't posi-

SUICIDE STATUTE SUS-
TANNED.

The United States Supreme
Court has affirmed the opinion OF
the Circuit Court of Appeals in
the case of the Knights Templa1
and Masons Life Insurance Com.
pany VS.. Rosa B. Jarman. The
case involved the validity of the
suicide statute of Missouri of 1879,
providing that suicide shall not
be defense against payment of a
life insurance policy, the policy
involved being upon the life of
John P. Jarman, who while in
sane took his life in 1898. The
decision of the court sustained the
law and held the company liable
for the amount of the policy.

: of Iberia Parish if not all at the
end of this season. 1t all depends
upon the cattle owners. We are
Going our best and if We are sue
cessful in getting the hearty CO.
operation of the PEOPLE of Iberia
Parish, we can put White spot
on the ticky map for this Parish
al the end of this season.
In the month Of April, iberia
Parish has dipped 1915 herds
consisting Of 7243 heads of cattle.
Every cattle owner is classed as IA
herd, Of which 439 herds, were
ticky, numbering 1881 cattle
'ticky. In Nav we dipped 1892
herds. 1864 cattle, 81 herds
ticky, 1875 cattle ticky. Compare
the figures in the two months and
you will readily see the good work
which has already been accomp-
lished.
We do not claim to have freed
that many herds or cattle of ticks. |
for there is no doubt that many
OF them have eggs on their pasture
not yet Matched out and our aim
is to get the baby ticks or seed |
ticks to the dipping vat to destroy |
them Just as soon as they hatch !
out and get upon the cattle. The
cattle will have to be dipped the
rest Of the season and we hope !
we will be able to release all of ,
them at the end of this season.

MOUNT CARMEL NOTES

! Two beautiful ceremonies were
witnessed this past week. both &c
beautiful and impressive that one
IS at loss to say which was most
imposing. The Month of Mary.
$50 beautifully kept, the deyotions
50 well attended every evening
testify the love that the Parish
Ioners of New Iberia have for our
blessed Mother. Every evening
at six o'clock devout clients Of
Mary filled the church and the
Month Of May" was read bv the
devoted Pastor, whilst the Con-
vent Choir sang the ever beauti-
ful Litany. Benediction Of the
Most Blessed Sacrament was, given
three times week; then came the
''Holv Hour" which left no va
cant seat in the large church.
So the Growing of Mary, and
the Reception of Children of Mary
was a fitting termination to the
Lovely Month Of Mary.
Wednesday. at five O'Clock all
the little ones Of the Parish
formed a procession. decked in
pretty white dresses, each bearing
a bunch of daisies, the process,u,
was headed by the devoted friend
Of the children, the Pastor; the |
choir sang "Mary. How Sweetlv
Falls That Word" and the little
ones placed their flowers at Mary's
feet. a beautiful Altar I'D
been erected in the center of the
Sanctuary, and a Heavenly Vision
It did seem to see our lovely in
nocent children go to Mary. IN
deed, the statue seemed to smile
upon them.
Then came an interesting SER
mon on "Mary" by the Pastor
and the "wee ones" kept tune
and seemed to applaud in their
own "shrill' way. But it was
heir DAY" and for once, no one
seemed to care. but rather found
sweet melody in the young lusty
7oices. Little Marjorie DeBlanc
crowned the Statute of Our
Blessed Mother.

Beneficial Rain.

The rain Sunday morning was
of great benefit to the crops in
general, and allowed the planters
who were delayed by the dry sea-
son, to prepare their lands and
complete their planting, as many
of our planters were not through
planting corn and rice. The cold
wind that followed the rain, how
ever, was not welcomed by the
planters, as it was cold enough to
use fire and overcoats.

A Great. Mayor and a Pismy
Tax Payer.

A writer in the Banner of last
week signing "a Tax Payer" at
tempted to criticise the remarks
made recently in the Messenger
regarding the case in which the
courts awarded damages of one
thousand dollars to Miss Emma
Beslin. The law is bad one and
we believe the judgment of the
courts wrong, as no neglect was
shown on the part of the authori-
ties, and Miss Beslin was simply
the victim of an accident, just like
Mr.. w. II. Cozine was the victim
of an accident in his own home
and broke his leg and Mr.. d. G.
Olivier while at his work, broke a
leg that had to be amputated. The
town was as much responsible for
the accidents of Mr.. Cozine and
Mr.. Olivier as it was for that of
Miss Beslin, if it has to be respon-
sible for unforeseen and unavoida-
BILE accidents
But where the tax payer saw the
greatness of the Mayor and the
smallness of himself, it is when he
attempted to redicule the greatness
of the Mayor and what he has
done on Main and a few other
streets when the thousand dollar
damage could be 80 well employed
on the back streets which are in
such bad condition. This shows
smallness, malice, prejudice, blind
ness and we may add vicious stu.
pidity. To the intelligence of the
entire town it sounds like the
braying of a donky who does moi
know why he is making SO much
noise.
Every one of this town who is
not of the caliber of our 'pigmy
tax payer knows that the presen
administration has given attention
to every part of town, and we fee
sure that the "pigmy tax payer
can't show a spot as big as himsel
that has not received attention.
