The Disabilities Of the Jews.

To the Hebrew race among US,
the overthrow of the Russian des-
potism means a great deal. 1t
signifies that in the center of the
greatest Jewish population, this
struggling race is apparently to
get a legal equality. This must
affect the status of the race all
over the world.
In this country the Jews have
every legal and political right,
and occupy a prominent place in
the business world. They still
suffer social restrictions. There
are thousands of hotels, particu-
larly those at public pleasure re-
sorts, that will not receive them.
The hotel managers say they
would lose their other business if
they attempt to force the He
brews into their company. This
is undemocfatic and un-Ameri-
can, and is the fault of public
sentiment.
The prosecuted condition OF
the race in Russia has been a
drag on its progress all over the
world. The result of the indig-
mites which they suffered in that
country was to create in their
minds a feeling of hostility to
the Christian peoples. Having
been perecuted, his property
destroyed and his life endanger-
ed, it was natural enough that
the Jew should feel it legitimate
to get back at his tormentors in
anyway he could. usually by get
ting the better ofhim financially.

Morbid Young Women.

The tragic story of two young
women, one from Cincinnati, 0.
and one from Newton, Mass, who
killed themselves in double sui
eide agreement at Portsmouth,
N. H., is an extreme illustration
of the tendency to morbidness
which many young women feel to
some degree. People who run
girls seminaries and boarding
schools find young women who
conceive inordinate and abnormal
attachment for each other. A
bond of this kind led to this sad
story of two girls who died rath-
er than permit themselves to be
separated.
These regular love affairs be-
tween two persona of the same
sex are rarely seen in the case of
young men. Among girls they
are not uncommon. The same
passionate attachment, and often
the same spirit of Jealousy, is
seen as in affairs between men
and women. The results are
rarely as tragic as in this case.
But they often lead to a lot of
unhappiness and interfere with a
girls normal life and work. The
heads of private schools dread
abnormal attachments, and try to
turn their pupils, thoughts in
saner directions.
To sober and self contained
persons, such evidences of hys'
terra seem absurd. But many
young women are bundles Of
nerves and sentiment to an ex'
tent not realized by men and the
cooler and more ordinary type Of
women. Their heart gets set ir
a certain sentimental direction
and the affair completely fills
their lives.
Probably the conditions under
which girls used to live were
more promotive of theee affairs
than modern habits. The pres
ent day girl is full of work aDt
study and normal play, and sht
takes her sentimental affairs witt
common sense and good spirit
| If separations come, she finds
plenty of wholesome interests tt
fill her life. Work is grea
curative Of morbidness. The &C
tive young women of the moderr
world have precious little time tt
get notions in their heads.

came over here in an ignorant
condition, embittered against the
Christians, disposed to take ad-
vantage of them where they
could. In that frame of imnd it
was perhaps natural that they
should be unpopular. Education
is the greatest remedy for a con-
dition like this, and the wise
leaders of the Hebrew people
urge it. School and college life

Military Terms Defined.

Just now when everybody is
talking war, it may be helpful to
our younger people to throw some
light on the meaning of terms
frequently heard and not always
understood.
A rookie" is a recruit.
An officer never "enlists." He
is commissioned by the President
of the United States. Only pri-
vate soldiers, including corporals
and sergeants can "enlist.
To be drafted" means to be
forced into the military or naval
service.
To volunteer" means to go
into the service willingly.
Rank and file" do not mean Of
ficers and enlisted men. Rank
| is a row of soldiers and file
represents a man in the front
rank with the man or men direct
ly behind him.
Squad" is part Of a company.
A captain commands company
and he has under him a first lieu
tenant and a second lieutenant.
A major commands a battalion
which is made up of four COM
panies, A regiments command
ed by a colonel and it comprises
three battalions so that a regi-
ment is made up of twelve COM
panies.
The new army law abolishes
the grade of bripadier general.
Hereafter, if that law passes a
colonel will jump directly to ma
jor general.
A general of the army corre-
esponds to an admiral of the ma
Wy. Lieutenant general ranks
with a vice admiral and a major
general with rear admiral.
Since Dewey's death there is
no American admiral and we have
no vice admirals. Neither is
there a general or lieutenant
general. Our chief Of staff is a
major general.
The titles of lieutenant general
and general. vice admiral and ad-
miral must be especially created
by the act of Congress.
President Wilson is command
er-in-chief of both army and navy
, and has the right to take direct
command of the fleet or the army
Of million men. Every Presi-
dent during his term of office
stands at the top Of both the
army and the stands there
as the supreme commander.
He can dismiss any officer how.
ever high or low the rank. He
appoints all officers.

AS you all know. shoes are advancing in price,
but we are glad to say that we are still able
to sell a great many shoes at old prices. AS
long as we have them at the old prices we
will sell this way, so we think it will be to your
advantage to buy early.

We bought carload of wire and wire nails
last October which did not reach us until the
10th of January; and it was lucky that we
did buy early. for the wholesale prIce has

How to Preserve Meat.

We cut plenty of meat from both the
sheep, and were busy most of the next
two days caring for our trophies and
drying meat. The sheep and bearskins
had to be scraped, the fat carefully re-
moved, the skins stretched out to dry.
Fortunately, the weather was clear
and the sun hot, so that the drying
was quickly and well done. We cut
great deal Of both sheep and bear meat
into strips and hung it on q rack that
We rugged near the fire, where it
would catch the sun and also receive
artificial heat as well. Meat dried in
this way will last indefinitely, and,
though the flavor is not much to boast
Of, the meat is nourishing and goes
well in "mulligans'' and similar con-
coctions. For my people at home l
also dried q few pounds of both sheep
and bear meat according to Doctor
Hornaday's recipe; that is, l first
rubbed on the raw meat a mixture of
black pepper, allspice and salt, after
which / dried the strips in the SUM-
Paul T.. HaWorth, in the Scribner.

Evolution of the Jury,

: The jury was established by the
FranliiSh kings, being introduced into
England by the Normans at the time
of the conquest in 1865. At first it
was merely royal prerogative, men
being brought in to give what they IN
derstood to be the truth regarding
certain matter which: was being con-
sidered by the king. Under King Hen
ry II, it became It regular privilege
which was given to the people to use
in the settling of their disputes. By
the end of the twelfth century it was
established, and it represented the col
lective knowledge of the community.
By the end of the fifteenth century it
was already similar to our jury Of
modern times, having become an i'm
portant liberty of Englishmen.

SIGNALED By UNIQUE MEANS
Roman Generals Of Ancient Times
Had Remarkable Method Of Send
ing Messages to Each Other.

The Roman generals before the fall
Of Carthage in 146 B. c. provided their
signal stations with earthenware YES
sells, exactly equal in all respects, and
fitted with cocks which allowed the
water to escape at the same rate.
They were carefully tested to make
sure of this last requirement. Corks,
of smaller diameter than the vessel,
were floated In them bearing rods
upon which were marked, at a dis
lance of three fingers apart, the sim
plest and most urgent military mes
Sages.
These were used as follows: The
sending station raised a torch; the re-
ceiving station. seeing il. did likewise !;
this was signal for both stations to
open the corks of their water jars.
When the rod at the sending station
had sunk so that the desired message
appeared at the edge of the jar, anoth-
er torch was raised, the receiving sta
ton shut off its cork and read the mes
sage on its rod, marked identicallY,
with that at the sending station. y

IS CENTER OF HOSPITALITY
Location and Construction Of Fire.
place Are Matters Of Importance
In Building q Home.

In the Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
The center OF hospitality in the
nome Is that point about which the
family itself gathers most often. This
point Is in most homes the fireplace.
Hence its location and construction are
OF vast importance in building home.
THE fireplace, II there Is only one,
should be in the living room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy it
most. It should be located in the CEN
ter Of a wall space, either on one side
or at one end of the room. Select the
space which will permit the greatest
number Of people to sit around It.
In the construction Of the fireplace
you must not forget that its chief pur.
pose Is for q fire. The more simple
the lines Of construction, the better
taste is displayed. and the more room
the open fire receives.
"There is great variety Of materi-
ais suitable for a fireplace, and your
individuality and taste can be well ex-
pressed In this important factor Of the
home. Brick. tile. wood and many tile
substitutes may be used. These offer
great possibilities both for good color
and design, and lend themselves to any
style Of architecture"

L.afourche Leader:

] One of the wisest investments that
can be made by any community is
that in hard-surfacing their roads.
Under the new law, it is only neces-
sary for community to let the
police jury know that they wish to
form themselves into road district
for the purpose Of creating good
road, and presto, it is done. We be
lieve that all of the people of Lower
Lafourche, end Upper Lafourche, for
that matter, are ready and willing to
form themselves into such districts,
and it only requires few patriotic
and public spirited citizens to step
out and take the lead in the matter
Will you not do this at once, and
form three or four districts at the
same time so that this work can all
be done at one time. With the in
creasing production of food crops to
be moved over our roads, and the in
creasing travel brught about by the
universal use of automobiles, good
roads are the most necessary require
ment of the country at this time.
The advantage of such roads is so
plain that it needs no argument, but
in spite Of this fact, we will not get
the roads until some concerted action
is taken by the people. It is the de-
sire of many of the people between
this place and Thibodaux to bring the
matter of forming district here be-
fore the next meeting of the jury.
Let US get busy and see that this

The Darkest Moment.

Everybody has suffered moments of
terror, the very thought Of which, as
long as he lives, runs cold chills up and
down his spine. You remember when
you fell off the old windmill, and when
the playmate who ''hopped'' the freight
train just behind you was crushed to
death under the wheels, and the time
you drowned and had to be resusci-
tated. All these incidents have their
horrors, of course. But our
darkest moment of despair, which real
ly required time after time, comes
back to us often, with all its original
frightfulness. Il is the feeling we had
when mother said, in an indescribable
tone of voice, "Son, have you been
smoking again ?''-Kansas City Star.

ARCADE TODAY

i William Desmond appears as Car
son Stewart and Alma Reuben a.
Millicent Drake in the new Triangle
play, Master Of His Home.".
The aristocratic parents OF Mill.
cent Drake had set their cap for Ru.
pert Van lyle, whose millions were
their only means of rehabilitatine
their fortune. Millicent promptly
turned down his offer of love and
money without marriage. While
the Drake family were on their re-
turn from Van Tyle's mountain
lodge where they had been stopping,
their train was stalled, and at Mil
licent's suggestion the party decided
to look over the "Ready Bullion"
mining property owned by one Car
son Stewart.
The youthful owner, Carson, took
an instant liking to Millicent and de-
voted his entire attention to her as
he escorted the party through the
mine. They became separated from
the rest Of the party, and while they,
were alone in . secluded part Of. the
mine there was terrific explosion
and the place where they stood be-
gan to rapidly fill with water. See
ing a ladder that led to an upper lev
ell, Carson threw Millicent over his
shoulder and bore her to safety.
Mrs. Drake at first regarded Car
son as a trough and vulgar MINER"
but learning that he was worth mil
lions, invited him to visit them in
New York, and he infatuated with
Millicent, consented. The visit re-
suited in Carson's marriage to Mil
licent, but when he expressed the
desire that some day there might be
a little partner" he found that this
was neither in Milicent's or Mrs
brakes scheme of things.
A year later Millicent discovered
that she was to become a mother
Mrs. Drake was mortified as she had
planned for Millicent to eventually
divorce Carson and marry Can lyle,
so she suggested to Milicent to see a
doctor. Millicent, however, found
herself looking forward to the COM
ing Of the baby. Carson in the
meantime had heard Of Mrs. brakes
plan and suspecting Millicent, de-
nounced her and left for his cabin
n the West. After a short time the
baby came, bringing about COM
plete change for the better in Milf
cent.
