Young Man Has Made Up His Mind

Cleric hasn't discovered the girl yet,

he, require preparedness. He has
written q dozen tentative sentences
wherewith TO introduce the subject.
We Gull n few of them as mere sug-
gestions. He imagines himself start
ing the conversation with one Of the
following nhrases:
"YOu look very nice across n table"

keep me In good humor forever"

the house? | don't smoke"
"The high cost Of living isn't so
high, after all, is IT."

His ALL-IMPORTANT QUESTION
Many Things Happened While Eager
Young Man Waited Answer That
Meant So Much to Him.

He had asked her a question Of the
greatest Importance and one which he
felt warranted an immediate reply.
She seemed very calm and collected
herself much as an Indianapolis street
car conductor would collect a nickel
fare and one cent for q transfer.
AS he searched her face and found
nothing but a small brown mole neal
the end Of her nose he knew that she
must answer his question. Something
told him that she would, but, OF
course, he didn't know what. Slowly
a hectic flush began to suffuse her
cheeks. He didn't even know what
hectic meant and, therefore, didn't ap-
p~reciate one when it suffused. He
would have recognized a straight flush
In an instant.
Must he hound her for a replyi
Nope; decidedly nope. Must he ask
her again? Nope--er-that Is to say
yep-or rather, yes ma'am.
"Well, what do you think Of Ger.
many's reply to Mr.. Wilson," he
squiggled, alternating from one foot to
the other until he had tried all two OF
them.

of prehistoric man In Europe. South.
ern Arabia holds the remains Of what
seems a very early and quite unknown
civilization. Excavation may add q
new and revolutionary page to the his.
tory Of culture.
Large parts Of Arabia have never
been explored by the outsider, some
not even by the Arabs themselves, it
would seem. The natives will tell you
that certain sections are impossible.
Some of this may be taken with q trife
Of reserve, for willy desert merchants
have been known to spread horrifying
reports as to the fatal characteristics
Of this section or that-that the very
air is overwhelmingly frightening
away thieving tradesmen from the
right of way of well-laden
Land OF Romance and Ruin.
The Persian side shows n rugged
beach formation with bristling cliffs
and rocks. There lie Bushire and Bas-
ra-from this latter Sindbad, n histor-
zeal character, sailed on his never-to-
b~e-fOrgotten voyages. TO the interior
lie Shiraz and Ispahan, of poetico-
romantic glory. 1t is a land as strange
as Araby itself. Take the punishment
Of slaves. When a slave has misbe-
haved himself seriously enough he Is
punished by being freed and left to
earn his own living, which virtually
cOnsisns him to n lingering death.
Across the Straits of Ormuz, oppo-
site the tip Of the Pirate coast, is the
once great trading city of Ormuz, now
q ruin, showing evidences of vanished
magnificence. Western travellers who
visited the city in the days of it's splen-
dor five hundred years ago used ex-
%travagant language in describing the
wealth and luxury which prevailed
there. But Ormuz after undergoing
spectacular ups and downs finally de-
cayed and fell into dust, and is now
an object for the philosophic rumina-
tons of the tourist, a cadaver for the
d~issecting picks and shovels Of the
archeolOgist.
There are few ports on this rough
coast and the interior is harried by
robbers and fractions tribesmen. There
are sites and cities untouched by the
ravages Of tourists, although they have
been drummed into the head Of the
western world by the great Persian
poets in their latter-day occidental
vogue.
AT the narrow northern shore Of the
Persian gulf lies the ancient land Of
the Chaldeans. 1t is here that the sto-
ried rivers, the Euphrates and the IT.
girls, unite and flow into the gulf.
On the Tigris is Bagdad, the city
of the Arabian Nights. The ruins Of
Babylon are near the Euphrates; the
rivers run almost parallel. On every
side, or the sands, or more often be-
meath them, are the decayed remnants
Of days which stir the imagination of
the dullest. Persia, Chaldea, Arabia
all clustered about the gulf-and the
tourist found them not.

Winnipco's Great Growth.

1t IS forty-nine years since Louis
Riel, self-styled president Of the pro.
took possession of Fort Garry, appro-
priated its contents, and began his
ten months reign of anarchy over Il
considerable portion of southeastern
Manitoba. This was Riel's first gam
bic for power. 1t ended in flight. The
second ended on the scaffOld.
There was no city of Winnipeg for.
ty-nine years ago, n fact that reminds
one Of the energy and industry put
forth by the Canadians who went West
q generation or so ago, and of the
richness Of the country to which they
went.

Why Not NatchitocheS7

7. yfr.v beautiful custom has
been adopted in a number Of sinai!
towns and not a few large cities,
as has been the rule at the camps,
environments and among all army
people for a long time, to devote a
few seconds at a certain hour OF
the day to pray for victory. When
the signal is given the obser-
vance of the call is universal; men
halt in the street, wagons and au,
tomobiles stop, women rise from
their knitting or pause in thell
household duties, and men who
have never been known to pray
before, answer it's call dutifully.
With heads uncovered and
bowed, each man, woman ano
child, each saint and sinner say
simple little prayer like this:-
"God bless our President, our sol
diers, our nation, and guide them tt
victory"
Besides our vital interest in oul
country, our interest in our de
Tenders, our individual interest II
our owI soldiers, there are many
other god reasons why the uni
versal prayer minute would bt
helpful to one and ali, and why
can't Natchitoches at the sounding
Of the evening bells, respond tc

of $3.50 for the Parish Fair, will

in the revival of a public enter

Woman Suffrage in Texas

The results of the recent Dem
oeratic primaries in Texas must be
as disappointing to the enemies OF
equal suffrage as they are gratlty-
ing to its friends. In their hrst
experience as electors, the women
of Texas not only saved the cause
of decent government by electing
Hobby over Ferguson, but they
placed a number OF women IN
Office, and buried, beyond the pos
sibiIity of early resurrection, the
political aspirations OF a number
of public men who sought to BAT
the door to politica! progress By
fighting suffrage.
These are some OF the impor-
tant results; but of far greater
significance than any of the items
given, so far as its general effect
| is concerned, is the fact that the
vote of the women in proportion
| to their registered strength was
much larger than that of the men.
If there were any political slack
ers among the newly-enfranchised
| women, they were not numerous
enough to count.
Altogether more than 100000
women voted IN the Texas prima.
ries; and what they did to some OF
the men who had fought to keep
them politically disfranchised, was
what Mr.. Chlmmy Fadden would
call "a large plenty" In Travis
Fcounty, for instance, Hon. George
Mendell, newspaper writer, able
lawyer and experienced legislator,
was a candidate to succeed himself
as anember of the House. George
had been invincible politically, but
he voted against equal suffrage,
and the ladies handed him a ticket
for the political dust-heap. His
opponent, T. S. johnson, fairly
showed him under. and the van
quished and dazed legislator
hasn't yet recovered from the
blow.
And SO it was with other public
men in Texas who had defied the
lightning. They are sadder,. but
wiser, men now. And incidental
ly the observing world knows that
the claim that Texas women
wouldn't exercise the political
privileges for which they were so
long clamoring is discarded fiction.
If permitted to so, the women will
vote all right, and their votes will
have no controlling force but con-
science, Journal.
