them and gaining In volume, descend

reach the words The End how
beautiful they will look to me! What
a long, long work it has been, a Ia
Dor Of love! How many hours and
days and weeks it has consumed!
Frightful to think Of; and yet know
of no happier way of passing time.
None which takes me so completely
out of this world ana affairs of the
present, a perfect retreat from the
annoyances of daily life as they are
spun for me by enemies and friends
who might as well be enemies"
General Wallace began his 1.-THE
Fair God" about 1849, but it was
not published until the fall of 1873.
The work was continued at intervals;
and some times these. intervals were
years-once, seven years. 1t was his
habit to give the long winter even
ings and the Sundays, while in Craw-
louisville, to the composition. He
said: GAS / didn't write for bread, /
took my leisure. The fourth. fifth,
sixth and seventh books were writ
ten. after the Civil war. As soon as
the success of "The Fair God" was
assured, the author began to shape
history of "Ben Hur."

Messrs. II. A. Turner and C. p,
Carroll were visitors to St. Joseph
this week. These gentlemen were
here in the interest Of the Tri-Par.
ish Fair, to be held at Lake Provi-
dence on October Is, IA and Is.
The Tri-Parish Fair has been held
at Tallulah several years, but was
discontinued upon our entry into the
world war. Since coming Of peace,
however, the Fair Association has
been recognized and, as stated,
the fair will this year be held At
Providence, and great preparation ID
being made by that city for its &C.
commodation. The main purpose of
the visit Of these gentlemen to our
parish was not only to stimulate in
terest in the fair. and induce our
people to send exhibits, but it was
their desire to promote fair edition
of the local press Of the district, the
edition to include several thousand
copies, advertising local business
firms and expatiating in its news
columns on the resources and pos
sibiities Of this country, the adj
vertiser to be vested with certain
number Of copies, according to agree
ment, to be mailed by him to any
points, far and near, as he may wish.
However, the encouragement given
the gentlemen by those Of the bust
ness men Of St. Joseph that were seen
was 80 negligible that they left next
day without accomplishing anything.
They may, however, decide to repeat
their visit, when it is hoped more
encouragement will be given them.
The Gazette publishes to-day q list
Of the prizes to be awarded at the
Tri-Parish Fair, and we hope the at
tendance from Tensas parish will this
year be as great as in former years,
while we sincerely hope this parish
will be a. well represented in the
prize-winning exhibits is in days past.

an inflamed condition Of the mucous

by its branches that General Wal.

governor Of New Mexico, but the
work Of writing this wonderful story
was done at the Wallace home in
Crawfordsville.
General Wallace could always dc
his best work out Of doors. To ia.

book which has made his name one
Of the most splendid in the annals
Of American literature. The tree was
Just outside Of General Wallace's
study and even in inclement weather
he could look but at it as he wrote.
According to Mr.. Wallace, about
one-seventh of this great work was
written under the dun sky Of New
Mexico and the other portion was
done in Indiana. It was written in
purple ink with fastidious care, every
sentence wrought in the most perfect
finish of which the author was ca

Brothers, and when Mr.. Joseph Har-
per opened the manuscript he said :
sThis is the most beautiful manuscript
that has ever come into this house"
