SENTIMENT.

Sentiment is good and proper

sonable circumstances. It is well
all mankind should possess it TO
major degree. There are times,
however, when it is a detriment
for it beclouds reason and preiu-
dices better Judgment. Senti-
ment as a resource in this ma
terialistic age and world com
manas little, and is not an ass It..
Therefore sentiment should be
curbed, kept within proper
bounds, and not permitted to de
throne reason or work hardship
or injury. 1t may be well and
good to desire for sentimental
reasons the holding Of a property,
always ones home, but if condi-
tions present themselves making
its abandonment profitable and
advantageous it is better to put
aside the sentiment. yield to com
mon sense and have nothing to
replace it. 1t is unfortunately
the way OF the world, sentiment
is too often permitted to prevail,
and those placing their hopes in
it are eventually duped. while

uation to the loss and irreparable
damage Of those practicing it the

GETTING MARRIED.

MatrimOny is always a subject
Of great interest and Importance
for the single. Several young
men Of our town seem to be work
ed up on this matter. They are
making goo goo eyes at girls even
in church and the pomade they
use on their hair would be enough
to grease our band wagon. They
are extremely anxious. so we are
told, to get married for better or
for worse. That's one point; it
will be the one or the other and
all the silly goo gooing and the
brainless plastering Oh the hair
cannot change it.
We do not advocate a contin-
uous hOnvy moon. That is all
tom foolery; and the sooner our
young folks see that either be-
fore or after the wedding, the
better it will be for their future
domestic welfare. The welded
union should be among other ad-
yantages for the providing of a
pleasant home, where the hus-
band loves to spend his leisure
hours and the wife finds pleasure
to work. In order to provide
such haven Of contentment more
is needed than sentimental cares
and a rich father-in-law. What |
is needed is common sense in both |
parties, and a lot of that.
But some young men are fools |
and imagine that the foolishness
Of calf love makes a paradise
within any four walls. They be-
come bewitched with some giddy |
butterfly society girl and marry
her. Then expect her to 90 home

A CLASH OF AUTHORITY.

There is a conflict between the
state and federal laws with ref
erence to the closing Of the sea
son for shooting wild ducks. Tn
der the Federal law, the open sea
son closed on Wednesday. Jan
uary 31st. Under the state law,
amended by the last LEGISLATURE,
the shooting season VII extend to
February 18th.
Commissioner Alexander ad-
mits that there is a conflict III

much in the way Of brain-eXer-
else on the part Of the members
of the last general assembly, be-
cause they could have acquainted
themselves concerning the 'proyi-
sions Of the Federal statutes 10y
examination, but it appears that
they failed to do that Since the
Federal law is much the oldest,
and the state law is proportions
ately younger, and the legislature
fixed the dates in the face Of the
stipulations provided ahead by
the general government.
Mr.. Alexander has petitioned
the authorities at Washington to
extend the date to conform to
the local law. This effort is
somewhat silly, and does not dis
play any more judgment than
that supplied by the Legislature
In the bungling of our game law.
We did not know that any high
collared genius. sitting at desk,
could change or modify any law to
fit the demands of somebody else.

of New Orleans, tried that in ap-
plying his opinions to the race

of the western district has sup

vigorously prosecute any one

31st, and he demands that the

the same vigilance in detecting
offenders that they exercise with
reference to their own districts.
