LIES STORY ENDED.
Relentless Death Claims Lovable
Young Woman of East Ascension

Truly sad was the untimely taking
away of Miss Earline M. Marchand,
daughter of John A. Marchand and
Lorena G. Carver, of Natchitoches,
who responded to deaths stern call
Sunday, Dec. 9, at 3 o'clock p. M, in
New Orleans. In the morning of life,
fragrant with the joy of living and
roseate with the happiness of young
womanhood, she fell asleep to open
her eyes in Paradise. TO be thus TAX
en- in the flower of youth is indeed
grievous blow to her dear ones, but
may they be consoled by the know1-
edge of the heavenly reward she has
earned through the purity of her life,
and the Christians undying hope of
everlasting reunion beyond the por-
tails of the tomb.
Miss Marchand was born at Prairie
vile, in this parish, May 81, 1890.
Her remains were tenderly laid to rest
in the Catholic cemetery at that place
Tuesday, Dec. IL, at II a. M, the
funeral obsequies being attended by
throng of sorrowing relatives and
friends who gathered from all sections
to pay life's final tribute of respect to
the memory of one so worthy of their
esteem and affection. The impressive
burial rites of the Catholic religion
were performed by Rev. Father J. c..
Gonon, pastor of the Cornerview
church.
Besides her grief-stricken parents,
Miss Marchand is survived by the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: Mrs. A.
B. Corey, Evie and Harold Marchand,
of Gonzales; John A. Marchand, Jr.,
of Baton Rouge, and Sidney A. Mar
chand, Of Donaldsonville. The SYM
patty of an extensive circle of friends
and acquaintance goes out to the
sorely bereaved family.

Bargain Store Burglarized.

The New Orleans Bargain Store
was the victim Of burglars Thursday
night, a quantity of pistols, mems
suits and other merchandise being
stolen. Jasmin Tobias, proprietor Of
the establishment, estimates the loss
at several hundred dollars. He is of
the opinion that the thief or thieves
secreted himself or themselves in the
store before closing time, and, after
selecting the loot desired, escaped
through back door. The contents of
the store are protected by burglary
insurance.

PIPE DREAMS OF CITY MAN
Raising Spuds at One Dollar Bushel
Certainly Looks Good to Us.
BY Heck!

When l am old and bent and worn,
with hair all gray and pants all torn,
and town has grown too swift for me,
and in my backs miseree, I'll take
my bundle meath my arm and go and
settle on farm, and in the spring
and in the mud each square foot l
will plant a spud then with nice
self-starting hoe I'll coax the lowly
spud to grow. as spudS were never
cOaxed before, and they shall twine
about my door, and shall drink up
the morning dew, and shade the wind
ing avenue that sort of turns and
twists and crawls to get to my an
cestral halls.
And paris green by pecks I'll lug
to put on each pertater bug. I'll keep
the weeds out of the rows, and when
hot wind comes and blows I'll
sprinkle each one from a can and sit
beside it with a fan until the danger
has gone by; will not let it wilt and
die.
And when dead leaves are earth
ward tossed and when a norther
threatens frost I'll get cute little
union suits to put upon the spuddish
!beauts. l shall know each last spud
by name and pet each one and make
1t tame; so that when autumn comes
apace I'll go and open up my face
beside the bars and call each spud by
name. and it shall leave the mud, and
leave the vine, and leave the tree,
when my call comes, and follow me.
And l shall hike away to town and
where the roads go winding down the
spuds shall follow me, and go where
hungry men rush to and fro in search
of spuds, and they shall pay a plunk
a peck for spuds that day, and shall
get wad of kale as big as any cotton
bale. That's what I'll do when | am
old and when my blood is getting cold.
/ think I'll do it, anyhow; but I've not
time to- start it nOw.-Judd Lewis, in

FLY HAS ITS OWN TROUBLES
Naturalist Says Problems of Life. Are
ProportionateIy the Same In
Every Stratum of Life.

To the naturalist or to anyone ac
custOmed to observe nature closely
the fact is apparent that the problems
Of existence are prOportionately the
same in every form or stratum of fife
Even the common house fly, which
seemingly has nothing else to do but
to crawl lazily over whatever is left
uncovered and then 60 happily on its
way, doing its best to bring about an
affiliatiOn between the clean and the
unclean, occasionally meets it's nemesis
in the form of tiny crablike creature
which attaches itself to the fly's legs.
These little creatures are known to
the scientist as pseudo-scorpions, OF
chelifers. They may sometimes be
found between the leaves of old books
that have stood unused for a long
time, and also beneath the bark Of
trees and in mosses.
Although they are called false scor.
pions. they resemble the true scorpion
closely In general structure except for
their minute size. But they have no
poison gland as the true scorpions
have. They attach themselves to other
insects also, but they seem to be the
special pest of the house flies. Scien.
lists suppose that they seine the fy's
leg and hold on until the fly dies,
either worried or frightened to death
by the undesirable presence. When
the fly is dead the little creature feeds
on the body.-Popular Science Monthly.

WOMAN'S DRESS NOT MODERN
That Dame Fashion Has Reigned
for Quite a Lengthy Period.

Rock drawings recently laid bare In
the Spanish peninsula have discovered
to us very interesting period of pre-
historic man. From q lecture recent
ly delivered in London by Sir Arthur
Evans of the British Archaeological as
sOciation it appears that palaeolithic
woman was not only dressed, but most
gracefully. At Cogul the drawings In
dicate that the sacred dance was per-
formed by women. clad from the waist
downward in well-cut gowns. whilst
in the rock shelter of Alpera the dress
of the same skirted ladies is supple
mented by thin flying sashes. In the
paintings at Cueva de la Viege women
are seen with still longer gowns ris-
ing to their bosoms. their shoulders
veiled in scarfs.
Thus we are astonished to find that
fashion has much longer history
than has been hitherto believed.
These recent discoveries are the
more interesting because hitherto
amongst wealth of wonderfully
drawn animals and sign writings the
human figure has been extremely rare
In European discoveries of the kind,
and it is reassuring to know that our
predecessors at period even as re-
mote as this were not without the
charm and comfort of clothes, and
that woman was then, as now, a pi-
oneer in the great and enthralling arts
of dress and adOrnment
