loUQuE's VIGOROUS PROTESTS IGNORED
Only 5 Rally to Side and IS Against
Him In the TOrrens Bill Vote.

Under the above caption Mr.. Arthur
Ball, special staff correspondent for the
Daily States, sends in the following story
from Baton Rouge that will be of interest
to all friends of our new Senator:
Senator Schwing of Iberville is better
senator than a guesser. He exposed the
opinion Wednesday night that the Sem
ate would not pass Senator Guthrie Tor
f, rens bill because it sis an important biH,"
and important bills, "like my bank de-
posts bills tailed to pass the Senate be-
cause the senators have not the time to
study them" But the Senate showed
up and showed Mr.. Schwing. 1t passed
the Guthrie bill by voto of 30 too.
Mr.. LOuque, of Orleans, made no
guesses. He was, is and perhaps, always
will be against the Guthrie bill. For
nearly half an hour the aged Orleanian
shrieked protestations againt the measure.
None of that Twill the gentleman yield
to question" stuff went with him. SEN
ator Provosty, of Pointe Coupee, and
several other supporters OF the bill sought
several times to puncture his arguments
with questions, but to all of them he
shouted
mo questions; you sit down.
Senator tongues chief objection to the
bill was that he had had no time to read
it. He attacked it on general principals.
Senator Guthrie's long, technical expIa-
nation OF the measure meant nothing to
Mr.. Tongue. He objected to " this sort
OF thing being rammed down our throat
Mr.. President" And when he could
think of no more objections he sat down
and voted against the bill.
Mr.. Fraser of Sabine parish seemed to
pity the aged MIR. Louque He assured
the Senate that the Orleanian's objection |
lis born of ignorance of the BILL" Then |
he drifted into another explanation of |
the proposition. By that time every
lawyer in the Senate seemed anxious 10 |
air his knowledge of the Torrens system
OF land registration. Six or eight of
them told what they knew OF the propo-
sition. Even the aged Mr.. Dymond of
Plaquemines, arose and explained that
"a man named Torrens originated the
system years ago in Australia" But
there were six senators whom the expla-
nations did not satisfy.
And Mr.. Louque of Orleans was one of
them.
A Baton Rouge special to the Shreve-
port Times, says:
Senator Frank l.. Guthrie attained un-
usual success with the Torrens land reg
stration system this session. The senator
introduced his bill late in the session i'm
The senate and by an intelligent and pro-
yressive campaign not only succeeded in
getting hearing but actually put the bill
through the senate In the house he found
'rouble by reason of the fact that it was
ate in the session and the subject had
not been widely discussed. Next session,
he senator says. he will be back with the
bill. Meantime he hopes that the cam
'aign waged during the past session will
nave sewed the seeds of serious thought
lmong honse members.
Mn. Guthrie and the senator's charm
ny daughter, Miss Natalie, have been
pending the session with the senator.
Miss Thompson is here as the guest of

1t SubSlded. He remembered! He
retired to sullen silence at one end
of the porch, but for two hours never
took his vengeful, menacing eyes
away from Hull. In fact, the latter
was quite uneasy all the evening
through.
Nellie's father was a college pro-
lessor, just retired from his former
duties. He had never liked Hull, nor
did Nellie, but both treated this Wis
itOr cOurteously. Hope knew consid-
cradle of the reckless spendthrift,
Hull, but he never discussed his
faults publicly.
AS time went on the dog became
a prime favOrite with Nellie. For one
thing, he happened to be on hand
when she was alone in the house and
an insolent and thieving tramp
threatened to carry away some UNI
brellas and coat from the hat rack.
"Trusty"
That is what Nellie had dubbed the
animal, and an utterance of that
name brought the dog to the rescue.
The tramp fed, with TTusty at his
heels, sadly the worse for his ven
tuTesOme experience.
Hull began to come less frequently
to the Ashton home. In fact, mat
tiers, financial and social, were going
from bad to worse with him. Hope |
heard that he had squandered about |
all he had and was in desperate |
straits. He amazed Nellie with his |
persistent wooing whenever he was
fortunate enough to find himself |
alone with her.
One evening both Hull and Hope |
were at the home. The latter noticed !
that Hull was restless and uneasy.
He left the lovers to themselves. He |
strolled in the garden with the profess
sor, and Hope saw him later come out
of the library and soon after leave the
house.
The next morning Hope received a

trated His story was that only the
day proceeding he had converted
nearly all Of his liquid means into ne
gotiable securities. An hour previous
he had gone to his desk in the library,
to find the lock of a special drawer
where he always kept his valuable pa
pers broken and the securities gone.
ct means beggary!" gasped Mr..
Ashton desolately.
Trusty had followed Hope that
morning. He moved about the library
as though in his quick and intelligent
way he sUrmised that something was
wrong and that he was expected to
assist in righting it.
Suddenly Trusty uttered a sound
that suggested canine challenge. He
stood looking inquisitively at his mas
ter and then ran his nose along the
surface of a rug directly in front of
the desk. 1t was as though he had
detected the scent of some unfamiliar
footmarks that did not. belong there.
Then the animal, bTistling and eager
of eye, leaped towards the door and
paused, looking back at his master as
though inviting him to follow.
''Why, how strange -Trusty is act
ing!' exclaimed Nellie.
wait" spoke Hope, and, as the
dog started from the house, kept pace
with him slightly to the rear.
1t was patent to Hope that the dog
was on a trail. Once, when Hope had
been to an entertainment with Nellie,
he had carried her gloves home with
him by mistake. They had fallen out
of his pocket and Trusty had instant
" seized them, recognized them by
the perfume Nellie used and, Selling
them, darted for the Ashton home
and delivered them to Nellie.
The animal proceeded down the
street without deviating from direct
line to the business district. Trusty

What stumped Him.

Many instances have been quoted of
the ingenuity of the schooIboy and
the college man in answering exam
nation questions in foreign languages;
but seldom has a hard-pressed under
graduate displayed the inventive gen,
Jus shown by Henry w. Savage when
his knowledge of French was put to
the test in Partisan cafe some years
ago. According to George AIDE, who
was with him at the time, Savage
prides himself on his French. He had
just succeeded by dint of the most In
tense sort of concentration in ordering
those copper-colored oysters known to
the habitues of Paris as being among
the Oldest inhabitants. Then, flushed
with victory, he rashly decided to fol-
low up his success by ordering some
horse-radish. The French word for
"horse-radish" had completely escaped
MS memory. Nothing daunted, he be-
came at once logical and ingenious.
Horse is cheval," said he to AIDE.
