Fourth Celebra-
ton Here
Mayor Shannon Presides at
Meeting in Council Cham
ber; Names Committee

! A meeting Of the citizens Of Nor.
gan City was held in the council
chamber Of the City Hall last nigh,
for the purpose of making prelimina.
ry plans for big Fourth Of July eel,
ebration in Morgan City in honor OF
the soldier boys from here. About
fifty people were present. Mayor
NJ D. Shannon called the meeting to
order and asked for the nomination
of permanent chairman. Mr.. Shan
non was then unanimously acclaimed
chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Will
c. Harman was made secretary. Be
fore proceeding with the routine of
the meeting, Mr.. Shannon comment
ed upon the small number present in
view of the fact that the event is one
that should be of deep interest to
every citizen Of Morgan City.
1T is regrettable that there are not
more of US here tonight" said Mr..
Shannon, "but l believe that those of
us who feel just pride in the
achievements of our boys want to see
the celebration carried xAut. and l
think that by uniting our efforts we
can do so with degree of success" I"
The absence Of many merchants was
noticeable. as we'll as many other
citizens.
After the chairman had discussed
the object of the meeting, he called
upon the assembly for suggestions
and individual views. Mr.. ]. P. He
bert then arose and in a few we'll
chosen words. expressed the belief
that Morgan City should do more for
its soldier boys and sailors than ten

bration on the Fourth Of July
81 want to see the boys honored
with some permanent memorial that
will live for generations and genera
tions. or to the end of civilization"
concluded the postmaster.
Manager Harman of the Chamber
Of Commerce coincided with Mr.. He
bert and suggested that monument
be erected to the boys. Mr.. F. D.
Winchester thought that the celebra-
tion should be confined to the boys
of Morgan City. The chairman
thought this was good suggestion.
and advised that Morgan City should
either confine herself to honoring
the boys of the sixth ward and Nor
gan City or to the local boys alone.
Mr.. c. E. King offered the sug-
gestion that what should be done on
the Fourth of July should be to show
the boys a jolly, good time. he ap-
proved the idea that the boys should
be honored with permanent memo
rial, and thought that such
4 memorial would surely have to
come sooner or later, but that fof
the present the citizens should con-
fine themselves to showing the boys

MADE OCCASION FOR FESTIVAL
Travellers In Northern Russia Sittinuly
Celebrate the Crossing of the
Arctic Circle.

On the trains running northward
across north Russia, the crossing of
the arctic circle is made the occasion
for a festival similar to that which
tourists used m enjoy on shipboard
when crossing the equator. The train
makes n stop of several hours in the
midst of n |snOw-covered waste on the
shores Of the White sea. The passen-
gers stretch their legs and take Il con-
%stitutlonal out over the frozen surface
of the White sea, while Il picnic. din
ner is being prepared.
The exact spot where the railroad
crosses the circle is probably not de-
termined with scientific accuracy, but
the men who built the railroad appar-
entity agreed on an approximate loca-
ton, and this is marked with n suit
able inscription. At this point also
the railroad builders have left a slight
gap, probably not more than Il quarter
OF an inch, between the rails. so that,
as passengers often notice, "when the
train passes over the circle there is n
distinct Jolt and Jar"

PROPER CARE OF THE SICK
Nurses Duties Are onerous, but Tho,
Must Be Recognized as Highly
Necessary.

1t is important that the mother or
nurse attending q child with u cOn

walk In the fresh Dir every day. The
best way for her to arrange this IL
to keep a change Of clothing In the
room next to the sick room. She
should also battle before leaving the
house or In fact before she comes In
contact with anyone. II q bathroom
has been set aside for quarantine, she
should use this; II NOT, q screen and q

into the mex room and change her
clothing.
She should leave the house by tho
back way, or, at any rate, avoid COM
ing in contact with any Of the occu-
pants of the house. Once or the

cars nor enter another house and, II
possible, should avoid touching any
one.

ming and Colorado to see that no
'bootleggerS' crossed into the Silver
state carrying their forbidden cargoes.
Then came the war ana n state con-
stabulary was created to maintain the
liquor drought on Colorado soil. A
constable and n high power car were
on duty on the border when suddenly
three machines shot across the state
line and headed full speed in the d.
rection of Denver. The constable
yelled for the trio to halt, but for an
swer one of the men I'm the last car
drew n gun and blazed away twice at
the officer.
The shots went wild, but the con-
stable retaliated with n little gun
play Of his own. His aim was better
and the fellow who had fired sank
down into the bottom of the car while
his we companions called upon the
other cars to slow up and take them
in. They succeeded in escaping,
leaving their unfortunate cOmrade in
the machine. BY the time the con
stable drove up to him it was plain
the man was dying. He was rushed
to the nearest town where he died In
a local doctors office. Siyty-SiX pintS

which was afterward identified rs the

Fred Hood, a clerk in a government

by the following paragraphs printed

Il never thought Of that, Uncle

"Why your running away from The
Corners this way is like 70 make both
Mandy and me unhappy, as well as
Aunty Rose. II don't b'lieve Mandy
could get married at all If she didn't
have a little girl like you TO carry
flowers and hold up her train. How
about 1t, Mandy?"
'That Is quite true. Carolyn May"
declared Miss Amanda, hugging the
soft little body of the child tightly
again.
"Why, II"
Carolyn May was for once beyond
verbal expression. Besides there was
n noise In the outer hall and on the
stairway. The door had been left
open by the surprised %janitor.
A burst of voices came into the
apartment. Uncle Joe turned wonder
ingly. Miss Amanda stood up. Car
olyn May flew out of bed with u shrek
that startled them both.
my papa! My mammal I hear
them! They're not drownd-ed! God
didn't let ZEN be lost in the sea u"
She was out of the room in her
nlghtgown, pattering In bare feet over
the floor. A brown man, with a beard
and twinkling blue eyes, caught her
up In his strong arms and Rugged her
swiftly-safely--to his breast.
"Snuggy" he said chokingly. Spa
pas S~nuggy"
"My baby! My baby" cried the
woman at whom Joseph Stage was
staring as though he believed her to
be the ghost of his lost sister Han
nah.
1t was several hours later before
a really sane thing was said or a sane
thing done In that little Harlem fiat.
"It's like n lovely fairy story" cried
Carolyn May. "Only It's better than a
fairy story-lt's realw
"Yes, yes, it's real, thank Godl"
murmured the happy mother.
"And I'm never going away from my
little girl again." added the father,
kissing her for at least the tenth time.
But what Aunty Rose is going to
do I don't see," said Uncle Joe, shak-
ing his head with real commlseration.
"Tve sent her a dispatch saying that
the child is safe. But IL we 60 back
without Hannah's Car'lyn-"
"The poor soul !" said his sister. II
can believe that In her secret, subdued
way Aunty Rose Kennedy Is entirely
wrapped up In Carolyn May. She will
suffer II they are separated for long
and so abruptly"
THAT'S true" Miss Amanda said
gently. "And Joe will feel it, toe"
II bet I WILL" agreed Joseph Stage.
"But I have you, Mandy. Aunty Rose
isn't going to have anybody. And for
her to go back alone into her old house
for she won't stay with us, of
course" he shook his head dolefully.
"Let us write to Aunty Rose" said
Hannah Cameron briskly. "We want
her here. Why, of course we do
Don't we, Carolyn Maya"
"Why!' cried the child delightedly,
that's just the way out of 1t, isn't it?
My! how nice things do come about
in this world, don't they? Aunty Rose
shall come here. You'll like her ever
so much, papa. And Prince will be
glad to have her come, for she always
has treated Princey real WELL"
Prince, who had been standing by
with his ears cooked. yawned, whinet
AMI lay down with a sigh, as though
considering the matter quite satisfac
torily settled.
Carolyn May, having climbed up into
her fathers arms, reached out ant
drew her mother close beside her.
