HEAT THE SCAPEGOAT.

When 1t is hot everything is blamed on the
heat. "Crazy with the heat" is old slang phrase
which has more pat application than that by
which it is attached to those who make excessive
heat responsible for everything from the loss of
ball games to the birth of triplets. One cannot
doubt that there are numerous cases Of heat pros
traton and that some of them result fatally, but
in many of these deaths credited to heat the excess
of temperature is responsible only in an indirect
way. baher seeks the cooling river and is
drowned-heat. Someone goes to sleep in ham
mock which breaks and the sleeper is perhaps ia
tally njured-heat Another suffers attack Of
acute indigestion possibly due to eating food that
should not be eaten in hot weather-heat again.
Heat brings abundance of discomfort and 1t
is wise to take precautions to prevent serious re-
suits following in its trail, but there is no use
becoming alarmed because the temperature hovers
around 80 for week so. 1t exceeds that for
long periods in the tropics and yet people continue
to exist there.
Observe customs of living that all know are
suited to hot weather. Somebody has said that
heat is state of mind and 1t is likely that much
Of the discomfort is more imaginary than real OF
course, man with sweat streaming from every
pore and his clothing cnging if it were glued
will scarcely subscribe to that sentiment but if
that is the worst is called upon to suffer on
otherwise glorious day what cause is there for
complaint?

MAY I come with you, Uncle
Wiggily?" called Baby Bunty one
afternoon as the rabbit gentleman
was hopping down the steps of his
hollow stump bungalow.
"Well, am not going any place
specially" Mr.. Longears made
answer. But If you wish you may
hop along, Bunty."
I'll help you look for an adven-
ture," laughed the little rabbit
girl.

"But no tagging me or making me
chase you. I'm getting too old and
stiff for that. little one."

New York, July 21.-The stock

downward. -
Shorts made some impression on
steels, equipments, motors and mis-
cellaneous issues, including Fa-
nous Players. Fire in the Mexican
oil fields and rumors of financing
by one of the Royal Dutch sub
salaries served as an excuse to de-
press oils.
With few exceptions the bond
market was firm to strong, Lib

III street car accident in the Cres-
Get City, Friday of last week. Sena-
tor Marks and his son had just alight-
ed from a Dryades car at the corner
of Canal and Baronne. Two cars
were standing and they did not notice
the onrush of a Louisiana avenue
car as Mr.. Marks stepped into the
middle of the track. The motorman
dropped his fender just in time to
pick up Mr.. Marks and carried him
several feet before the heavy car
was brought to stop.
The fender saved his life, but he
was badly bruised about the should
ers and back. He was taken to his
home in an automobile and a physi-
elan summoned, At last reports he
was resting easily but still suffering
from the painful bruises and shock,
Mr.. Marks is we'll known here and

the unfortunate accident of which he
was the victim, but are glad to learn
that he is improving and on the road

Labor Now Plentnut.{

Plantation labor, both white and
colored, which only recently was so
scarce, SO high-priced and so inde-
pendent, is now said to be very plen-
tlful in this section. Planters report
that large numbers of idle men, es-
pecially negroes, call on them every
day and beg for work of any kind,
but are invariably turned away. Ow-
ing to the unsettled financial situa-
ton throughout the country, no work
of any kind Mbeing done in the plan
tations, the.E planters preferring to
wait until conditions become more
stabilized before beginning field
operations for the next crop. In the
meantime, the negro. who but a short
while ago was the autocrat of the
farm, has assumed a very SUBJ
missive attitMe and is now humblv
begging for work at reduced wage,
which he would have spurned with
contempt had it been offered to him
few weeks ago. The colored lab
orers who have had the planting
interests practically at their mercy
for the past few years, are just awak
ening to the fact that crisis is upon
the country and that they, in com
mon with their employers, will be
made to feel the full force and effect
thereof.

Burnside Notes,

| am spending the holidays in the
second city of Louisiana, surrounded
by those who are nearest and dearest
to me. Shreveport is a wonderful
place, but like New Orleans cit may
have to change it's city officials to get
better and more satisfactory results
for the taxpayers. With gas and oil
all around, churches and school
houses dotting the streets every
where, the refuge and homes Of ex-
governors, the pioneer of prohibi-
ton, the adopted homes Of Ascen-
sionites Fortier's, Gauthreaux's and
others who have made success by
the change.
Reaction Defeated" is as it should
be. Donaldsonville put to the test
and decided the questin correctly.
The system of commission govern
ment has been approved. Now that
the present officials have determined
to retire, what about new material?
Will it come from men and women
votes? I hear that woman may have
her lightning rod erected in time to
be struck so as to alight in the
job. No objection to petit
coat government any more.
