NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With SubtIety, but Was Satisfied That 1t Would Be
 Thoroughly Complete.

When Alexandre Dumas, the French novelist, was young man, he was grievously insulted by a man whom he had regarded as his friend.
 Everyone expected him to punish the offender severely, but instead he began looking upon him with more consider alton and apparent friendliness than he had ever shown before.
 At length, three years later, when the erStWhile friend was to be married, the novelist was asked to serve as best man, and did so. When the ceremony was over and the guests were leaving someone remarked to Dumas: "I have often wondered at your kindness to this man. Surely yours is a remark ably forgiving nature, for although he insulted you grossly, you have assidu- Ously studied his happiness ever since and even assisted him in getting mar ried."
 Quite right!" answered Dumas. "I flatter myself that I have given the fellow the most furious and 1Xpx-eyed mother-in-law to be found in France !"

<. -.- Makinu New Words.

We're going to help the dictionary makers with couple of suggestions. Here are two words we have thunk up without the aid of mechanical appli- ances or paraphernalia whatever without even brains.
 Piscapalate-A taste for fish for in- stance, the fellow has one who loves shad so much that he is willing to spend half an hour taking bones out of his teeth just so to eat one slab of fish.
 Strenuist-here is now "strenuity," '" therefore, why not strenuist, one who strens? The strenuist is one who gets up before any one else and starts in doing a lot of unnecessary things real hard, just to make dust fly. He bOres you to death telling you about it, so he should be separated from the common herd.
 We'd like to have some more new words. If you've coined any, pass 'em along, please. The language is in danger and needs help !-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Oh! My Back!
The Expression of Many a Kidney
 Sufferer in Stafford Springs.


 A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, stepping brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys- relieve aching backs. Here's Stafford Springs proof:
 Geo. H. PaFiseau, 50 Furnace Ave. |, says: "About five years ago I had touch of lumbago and my back gave me considerable trouble. That was very annoying, as was on my feet great deal at my work and it made the pain worse. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me and began using them. They gave me good re- lief. '' s

The Basket Ball Games at NeWeIIton.

The Newe,lton High School enter
/ tanned their friends en- last Saturday
with three delightful match games OF
basket ball between two teams of the
/ Ferriday High School and the crack
team of the Tallulah High School. In
these three games all teams broke
even, each school winning one vic
tory.
The first game was between the girls
of Ferriday and Newellton. This game
was spirited and both teams did good
work, but it was the concensus OF
opinion that the Ferriday girl, were
little too large and heavy for their
hosts and while the home girls put up
a stubborn fight they We're unable to
overcome the preponderance of size
and weight of the visitors. The game
resulted i'm victory for Ferriday by
score of II to 4. The line up was as
follows:
Forwards: Lena Cross, Dorothy
Chambers; centers: Fannie and Louise
Zappie; guards: Marjorie Chambers,
Freda White.
NEWELLTON
Forwards: Grace Middleton, Josie
Gordon; centers: Bessie Newell, Hem
rietta Morris; guards: Josie Fultz,
Pauline Gordon.
Following the contest between the
girls, the boys teams of Ferriday and
Newelltou met on the grid-iron. This
was battle royal, but while giving all
honor to the skill and courage of the
visitors they were purchased by the
home team and went down i'm defeat
by the score of 30 toe. The lineup
follows:
FERRIDAY
Forwards: Jack and Walter McDan-
iels; center: Fred Haegler; guards:
Lawrence Atwood, Dunbar Chambers.
NEwELLTON
Forwards: Burchett Middleton, Clar-
ence Clark; center: Resto Montenaro;
guards: Newell Fultz, Irvine Poe.
In the afternoon the Tallulah and
Newellton senior boys lined up in de-
Tense of opposite goals and gave and
accepted challenges. This was the
star game of the day, indeed tug-o-
war, where Greek met Greek. The
teams were equally matched and dis
played best training and all players
did themselves credit. For some time
the home boys ran neck-and neck
with the visitors, but finally found
themselves unable to keep up the
pace and fell a little behind, the game
resulting in score of 20 to %. Follow
was the lineup:
TALLULAH
Forwards: Allnutt Cason, Ethel
Boyett; center: VIM. Purnell; guards:
Sam Schwartz, Preston Herring.
NEwELLToN
Forwards: Chas. Ally, Prof. Barrow;
center: Will Ally; guards: Chas. Bisel,
Chas. Muir.
The visitors from both towns were
delighted with the game and especial
" the cordial hospitality extended
them by their hosts, and all departed
with happiest recollections of their
visit.

$4,000 CASE

Charging Mayor Fawcett with
having uttered wilful falsehood
when he told newspaper reporters
that Commissioner Petit had bean
caught by raiding officers In a
room with a young woman on his
lap, Petit filed q $4,000 damage
suit in the superior court Tuesday
afternoon.
The suit alleges that Fawcett
deliberately injured. DETAINED and
libelled Petit by his public utter
ances and that his statement was
intended and in fact did interfere
with Pettit's work in connection
with the management Of his police
department.
In the formal complaint served
upon Mayor Fawcett, the COM
missioner declares that publica-
ton of the mayors statement was
not only made in the Tacoma news
papers, but in other papers on
the Pacific coast, giving wide
impression that Petit was an i'm
moral man. Petit declares that
he has lived in Tacoma 90 years
and has built up a big business In
the Northwest.
Attorneys Hayden, Langhorne
and Metzger prepared Pettit's
suit and filed 1t with County Clerk
Mckenzie at 2 O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon. A copy was served on
Mayor Fawcett at once.
