Geo. Wilson, who stops at Mrs. Jenk-

wort hwhile to put in a little time
guessing how long it would take to
bake two thousand biscuits on the
Bucks Cast Range, which was DEM
onstrated Wednesday, and he prov

within one minute and forty-eigh;
seconds of the actual time. There

while regretting that it took man
to beat a woman guessing, especially
guessing in a domestic occupation ny
which a woman is supposed to hold
supreme power, reaching his heart
through his stomach, rewarded Mr..
Wilson by presenting him with the
stove, at the same time intimatin3
that he hoped Mr.. Wilson would soon
get him a wife to cook on it-and
keep him guessing. Mr.. Wilson's
guess was 2 hours, 81 minutes, 10
seconds. The actual time was
hours, SIS minutes, 22 seconds.
The Bucks Range used in this
operation burned 26 pounds of hard
coal.

store was so crowded that autos

OUR MADISONVILLE
CORRESPONDENT
By D. H. Vinet.

Ha! ha! ha! I'm not laughing
because l am married, for the laugh
is not on me. I bet the man that
wrote Home, Sweet Home" never
lived with his mother-in-law. Did
you ever notice that when man )
wife dies he very often marries her
sister That's to keep from break
ing in a new mother-in-law. But
most men love their wives. They'll
get up in the morning and build a
fire for her. They'll wash dishes for
her and even scrub the floors, but
when it comes to putting pink rib
bons on my nightshirts SO that the
baby wont know the difference IN
the night, say, no!
My cousin, Harry, has wife that
calls him a model husband. l look
ed that up in the dictionary and it
says that a model is a small imita-
ton of the real thing. In India you
have to buy your wife-ten cents
each, or three for quarter. In
China you pay her father about
thirty dollars for his daughter.
When you get divorce you get your
back. In India, a man never
sees his wife's face before marriage,
because she always wears a veil.
Now, if that was the custom of our
country, there would be more mar
riages. There are two days in
mans life that he never forgets-
the day he gets married and the day
his mother-in-law dies. My cousin
Harry's wife is false. In fact she
has so much false work about her
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1919-11-29

he don't know whether she sits up or
goes to bed. My cousin Harry is
the fellow that composed the song
entitled, 81 Slept by the Chair for
the Most of Her Was There" His
wife looks like Mary Pickford around
the feet. Since he has been married
things have been going very bad.
In fact, think they gave him a dogs
license instead Of a marriage license,
because he has been leading a dogs
life since he got married.
The other day Harry got a letter
from his wife saying that she didn't
have a thing in the house to eat, SO
he sent her check for 500 kisses.
The man next door cashed the check
for her. But say what you will, a
woman will stick to you thru thick
and thin. Yes, the longer she sticks
the thinner you get. Some women
are good for something and some
good for nothing. Men, don't be
sore because you have only one wife
to fight with. Think of old Solo
mon. He was a wise old man. Well,
how could he help being wise with
three hundred scouts out. Women
are the real things. You can't live
with them and you can't live with
out them. They say Friday is an
day to be married on. Well,
when is the lucky day Not dis
covered yet.
Marriage is the foreclosure of a
mortgage on a mans independence.
You will have to excuse me now,
as I have an engagement to elope.

Trouble Said To Be Result
Of Attempt to Arrest
a Negro Wanted.
ALL MEN KILLED
BELONG TO UNION
Government Troops Sent to
Bogalusa at Request of
the Citizens.

Labor troubles at Bogalusa termt
mated in the killing, Saturday, of
Lum E. Williams, president of the
Local Central Trades and Labor
Council; Walter Bouchillon and Tom
Gaines and the probably fatal
wounding of S. J. O'Rouke, all mem
bers of the union.
There has been bitter feeling since
the closing down of the Great South
ern Lumber Company mill, which
has been closed for repairs, some
claiming that the shutdown was
simply a counter stroke against the
union strikers. Also there was Op-
position to the unionizing of negro
labor. An assault upon a white wo-
man By a negro increased this feel
ing, and when an escort of union
men armed with shotguns, guarded
ed for distributing arms among the
negroes and melting them to trouble,
and asserted that he should not be
arrested, Chief Magee and citizens
sworn in as deputies surrounded the
office of Lum Williams and attempt
ed to arrest them. Who fired the
first shot is not made clear. All
were armed, however, and shots were
fired on both sides. The negro Da-
Gus escaped through window.
Williams was shot in the act of TAX
ing aim and the others were killed
in the fussilade that followed. The
only member Of the Law and Order
League shot was Capt. Jules Le-
Blanc, who was shot in the arm.
Citizens appealed to the Governor
for the protection of troops and one
hundred U. S. Soldiers and two ma
chine guns are now in Bogalusa, pre-
pared for any emergency that may
arise Things are quiet and no fur
ther trouble is expected. We have
