The little fellow died Wednesday

parents have the deepest sympathy OF
their friends.

The MATER Supply.

Notwithstanding the SHOWS and the
rains the supply Of water In the res.
ervoirs does not increase. For weeks
she water has not measured more than
eight feet, four inches in the lower
end of the lower reservoir. There Ia
no water, 1t Is reported, in the upper
reservoir. II 10 very evident that the
usual amount of water does not run
into the reservoirs, or that the reser-
voirs do not retain the water, or that
the community Is using in winter az
much water a. runs into the reservoirs
At this season of the year both
reservoirs should be full.
It is at least probable that the usual
amount of water is not, running into
the reservoirs. The water passes
from the springs through terra Gotta
pipes. 1t is we'll known fact that In
town the terra Gotta pipes are FREE
quently filled almost solidly by root
let's. 1t 10 hardly probable that in
the mountain where trees border the
pipes. that the pipes are in good con-
dition.
The town gains nothing by building
larger reservoirs and piping water
from new sources, SO long as the
reservoirs will not retain water. This
subject demands the prompt attention
Of officials, il we are to avoid water
famine this summer.

The Road Law.

The law prohibiting hauling over
the country roads with teams of more
than two hores is being enforced.
While the roads are very bad, some
OF our farmers contend that they
should have the privilege Of hauling
with three or four horses, an ordinary
two horse load.
To attempt to pull two horse load
over some of our roads with two
horses would be an act of cruelty and
very injurious to the team.
The Board in adopting the law are
making an effort to save our dirt
roads, which are almost ruined by
heavy hauling in the months Of Feb
ruary and March. The intelligent
of our farmers and
others who do heavy hauling will
greatly aid in getting the roads in
good condition.

Reflection on Creole

Although the session of the Loulsl'
ana legislature which has just ad
iourned was the busiest one on record,
a Little humor did creep in along with
stern justice as is indicated by the de-
bate which took place on Wednesday
between MesSrs. Montet of Lafourche
and Uncle" Andre Martin of Lafay-
cite.
Representative Martin was strongly
urging the passage of the soldier sx'
emption from debt measure and in
doing so, used the word curator ad
hoe, Mr.. Montet, demanded a definit.
ion of the term and Mr.. Martin said it
was usually someone appointed by a
court to look after some absent one
and they usually looked after them
selves first. Mr.. Montet declared Mr..
Martin had talked about everything
except E PluribuS Unum and that his
speech had displayed the depths OF
profound ignorance, finishing Off with
little Latin himself. Back came
Martin with the following:
some" LINGUIST.
"Boleau, I'm grand scrivain Fran

benefit Of those not understanding
French will say it means, "There are
more jackaSses loaded with Latin thar
there are intelligent men, and although
the gentlemen terms me ignorant,

The house yelled, and both gentle
men buried the Ratchet in compliment
