TENSAS VOTE.
DfnoellcY TliVnPHs.

In spite of the exaggerated claims
Of the Parker papers and the Park
er Campaign Committee, last Tues
days election proved a veritable
land slide for the cause of Democ-
racy, and Col. r. G. Pleasant, and
his Democratic associates on the
ticket, won a notable victory. The
vote was the largest cast in Louis
lana, in general election, since the
adoption of the State Constitution
Of 1898, and the majority for Pleas.
ant and Democracy will be approx
mately 35, 900. Louisiana has sent q
message to the National Democracy
that was received with great reioic-
ing in the National Capitol, where
It was regarded as a magnificent en-
dorsement Of the Wilson admins
tratiou. The two Parker organs, the
Iimes-P icayune and the Item, have
accepted the result very gracefully.
and neither Of these papers or any
one else has even suggested fraud;
on the contrary. it is admitted that
the election was absolutely fair and
that the great majority is simply
the win Of the people.
We congratulate the Democrats OF
the State on the great victory, and
especially thank those leaders whose
labors contributed 80 much to the
final result.
Too much credit cannot be Riven
TO Col. Robert Ewing. who was
made the issue in the campaign,
and his two great Democratic pa.

Shreveport Times. whose support Of

done add to the liquor; also a tutnip,
carrot, onion, and a little celery. Boil
until the vegetables are tender and

and adds much to the appearance.

SIKH BOY WHO WON FAME
Queen Victoria Gave Silver Cup to
Ram Singh, an Indian
Artist

The story of Sirdar Bahadar Ram
Singh, whose death occurred recently,i is
that of Sikh boy, born in humble cir
cumstances, who rose to honor and
distinction by his own merit and en-
deavOr and who remained. in spite of
that distinction, unspoiled. a kind
hearted. modest, genuine man to the
end. Il. j." writes in the Indimnan.
Ram Singh, as a lad, attracted the
attention Of Lockwood Kipling. father
of Rudyard Kipling, and under the
auspices of the famous Anglo-Indian
artist the young son of a Puniabl cul-
uvatOr became almost equally widely
known as a designer Later he sue
ceeded to Mr.. Kipling's post as prin-
cipal of the Mayo School of Art at La
hore.
In 1891 Ram Singh was ordered to
proceed to England to design and
supervise the decorations of the Dur
bar hall at Osborne house. The rev
room was to be in Indian style. and
the work was executed with remark
able beauty and effect. The queen took
great personal interest in the work
during its progress and much admired

have obtained many commissions In
England after that, but he was a sin

loved his work, but in the strange sur

CHAPTER XIV.
Ethel Makes an impression,


Those German infantrymen were a
formidable-looking company to descend
upon peace-loving innkeeper such as
Henri ChristOphe. 1t was. indeed. no
wonder that he viewed them with ap-
prehension, as they stood there at pa
rade rest and stared stolidly into his
startled face. 1t seemed to him that
wherever he looked he met the deter
mined, impersonal almost inhuman
blue eyes Of one of those businesslike
Germans. And there was something
sinister in the very way they crowded
his hostelry. Henri Christophe could
not help feeling that even so they
would crowd every house in Belgium
To him they seemed like locusts sent
by displeased God to swarm over
the land until it should be filled TO
overlooking. And always, he
told himself, there would be count
less throngs to fill the slightest gap in
their grim ranks.
While Christophe viewed them with
mingled alarm and amazement. a tele-
phone sergeant Joined those gray
ghosts from beyond the Rhine He
carried a gun slung over his back and
field telephone in his hands. Placing
the instrument on one of Christophes
tables, he proceeded to run a wire
through the doorway to the street.

eryday occurrence with him But

was far from disinterested. However
much he appeared at ease in his uni

truth, no uniform that suited Larry

Irish Guards.

But he had no wish to involve the wor-
thy innkeeper in any needless trouble.
So he started for the stairway.
"Well, you know where TO find me-"
he said. A band was playing outside.
Every moment the strains were grow
ing more distinct. And Mr.. Brown had
hardly disappeared to regions above

facts were gathered by Manning from
the lips of various witnesses, but not
until he had undergone many an anx-
ious hour and escaped death score
of times. He had hardly reached his
fat that night, however, before Police
Captain Kemp cleared up one point.

like to know that Hongkon2 Harry
jumped into a high powered car, which
was evidently waiting for him near

into Long Island shortly after 8 o'clock
tonight"
"Thanksw said Manning. who could
now be fairly positive as TO the identi-
ty OF All Singh's messenger to the

relax their vigilance. I'll give you a
