LonuteIIow Justly Popular

Longfellow is justly popular as the
poet who above all other poets of this
country, has expressed with a varied
and finished art the simple, natural,
elemental affections and sentiments.
His literary productions are confined
almost entirely 20 those in poet.c form.
Hyperion, a rather florid romance, and
Kavanagh, a romance Of somewhat bet.
ter quality, are the Two exceptions.
His well-known Psalm of Life" THE
Song Of Hiawatha," "Evangeline,"
and many other poems have made his
name a familiar household word and
every schoolboy is familiar with '1he
Village Blacksmith" THE Wreck Of
the H~esperus," and the Building of
the Ship" which are the melodious
phrasing of thoughts and feelings dear
TO the children even of a larger
growth.

Down went Schultz as if hit with
a hammer. He was up in less than

grand stand, yelled mapestically:

they knock me down.

Health-Happiness

There are some pesons who feel con-
WINGED that defective vision, styes,
g~ranulated eyelids, e~yestrain, pink-eye
inflamed lids, crossed-eyes and the
blind staggers may each and all de-
velop if you frequent the movies"
However, DR.. Herbert Harlan, M of
the best ophthalmologists in the
South, definitely asserts that the hour
er so spent each day in the motion
picture parlor can result in no harm
to the eyes. On the contrary, it is &C.
tualy a tonic to tired eyes, and even
the slightest flicker which occasion
ally apears On motion pictures tones
up the eyesight and makes it more
acute.
Reading or sewing in a moving train
or street car is always inadvisable
and doctors are a unit against it, be-
cause the muscles and the lens of
your eyes must be constantly changing
focu as a result of the jar and motion
of travel.
In the movies, on the other hand,
you sit from twelve to several score
feet away from the screen, and the
focus of the eye changes but little.
When you make your exit from a
motion picture theatre you distinguish
colors more acutely, recognize form
more sharply, and remember figures,
sizes and other visual differences bet.
ter than you did before you went into
e the pictures.
Be not to quick to blame the mo.
yies" for painful eyes, swollen eyes
redeemed eyeballs, watery eyes and
syes. These are often natures road
side signposts which indicate that
there is something wrong on the inside
and not the outside. Internal disord
ers such as blood deficiencies, exces
siye pumping by the heart, disturb
ances of the brain and spinal marrow
and the accumulation of microbic poi
sons in the lymps stream may many
times be justly blamed.
AS a matter of fact, if the motor
picture habit has done nothing else
than remind you of your eye deformi
ties and sent you posthaste to an ocu
list is has done more good for the hu
man eyes than all of its hasty, misin
formed and maligning accusers.
Motion pictures teach you to use
your eyes keenly, your mind alertl.

In fine, the eyes being the windows tt

Prohibition Hits
"OwI" Car Fares
Railway Company Report Shows
Big Decrease Since
July I

There has been a steady falling off
in the earnings of the New Orleans
Railway and Light Company on the
FOWL" or night cars, whic hrun be-
tween 1890 a. m. and 4:30 a. M, since
prohibition went into effect, accord
ing to an announcement made by Mel
son H. Brown, general superintendent
Of the New Orleans Railway and Light
Company.
Before the dry law became effec-
tive, or between June 16 and 80, the
railway company received fares total
ing $3,693.O8 from the different lines
Of the city. But between July / and
July Is, they only received $~3,225.5S
in fares, or a decrease of S467.50.
Mr.. Brown said he could not state
positively that the stopping OF the sale
of intoxicants had stopped the people
from riding in the ears in the early
morning hours. However, the figures
speak for themselves.
The largest decrease was OF the
Magazine line, whence the fares be-
TWEEN July 1 and Is fell $3.50 under
what they we're during the last fiji
teen days of June. The North Clai-
borne line was next, with a loss of
SOTO; the Caronde1et, third with a
loss of $66.84 and the West End and
Spanish Fort trains, fourth, their loss
being $4,000.
The figures Of Mr.. Brown showed
however, that the Peters Avenue line
was better ~patronized since July ]
than ever before. 1t showed an in?-
crease in fares collected Of $3.50.
The Napoleon Avenue line showed an,
increase of $10.14. The Tchoupitou-
las line also showed an increase of 81
while the Louisiana avenue line in
creased so cents over the fare during
the last part of June.

WATER POWER PUMP MAY
BE NEAR PERPETUAL MOTION

Gueydan, al, July 28.-The Kobb
Water Power Company has organized
for the purpose of manufacturing a
certain kind of water power pump.
Its pump consists of a water runway
in which several water wheels are
placed, and to these wheels are at
tached pumps, the motive power be-
ing derived from the water in motion.
The machine requires a small engine
to prime it, some 10000 gallons of
water, after which it is expected to
continue in operation from its own
power.
1t is believed that if the model
which tine company has nearly finish
ed now proves a success the demand
for the new power pump will be large.
The farmers in thsi section are mani
Testing a deep interest in the progress
of the model and they are very hope
full for its success, as the pumping
water cost to them in irrigation OF
their crops is heavy.
The cane and corn crops of this
section are undoubtedly very short,
but we do not believe the cane crop
is as bad as some planters estimate
a fifty per cent crop. In many local
tiles the cane is improving wonder
fully, although none of it is as vel
grown as it shout be at this time OF
the season. The rice crop is excel
lent and promises a large yield
