RETROSPECTIVE
Sixty Years Ago.

The Banner of March %. 1861-Bellevue.1
"Cn tomorrow the Bossier Volun-
teers meet at the Court House In Belle
vue, for the purpose Of electing officers
and completing the company. When Or
ganized, the services Of the company
will be rendered to the Governor Of the
State Of Louisiana, and II any emer-
gency arises wherein the lives and prop
erty Of our citizens are In jeopardy,
then we will be called upon to do battle
in defense of our just rights.
The Bossier Volunteers, r. r. RAN
dOlph, Captain, was the largest COM
pany mustered in the parish. 1t first
left the parish June II, 1861, and from
that date to February 2, 1862 about
thirty five of its number died from
disease measles, jaundice, camp fever,
etc. On the date last above named the
company left for home on f,lrlough and
was reorganized April II, 1862. The
company reached the front" the Sec
ond time 14O strong, and as the regu-
lations would permit only 104 men to
a company some of its members were
transferred to the DeSOto Blues"
From files Of the Banner we learn that
the company experienced it's first fight
ing in Virginia a few weeks following
it's reorganization, struggling through
1O-inch snow" The company surren-
dered at Appomattox Court House dur
ing 1856.

Poor Cherrv,g the older sister said

Poor Cherry !" the older sister said
aloud, standing still for "a moment,
and pressing both hands over her hot
eyes. Poor little old Cherry-life

be so sorry of all things he wanted

that she was that sort Of a nature, she

AS she used the term, she realized
that Cherry had used it, TOO. this same
evening, and fresh conviction was
added to the great weight of convic-
ton in her heart.

moaned, writing as the cry escaped
her. ''Why couldn't it have been me.

when he had told her that she loved
him much as she loved Buck, and that,
in these respects, she was no more
than a healthy child. II may be a

fame was consuming her heart, "but

Il wish I could cry" she said sud
denly, finding herself sitting on a log
where low oaks met the forest and the
open meadows. But now we must
face this thing sensibly. What is to
be done? They must not know that |

out of this tangle. Even If Peter were
free, Cherry would not be free" she
decided, land so the only thing to do
is to help them, until it dies away"

Offer Big Prize for
Airplane Engine

PARIS, Dec. 14.-With view to find
ing a really reliable and easy working
airplane engine a committee founded a
few months ago and known as LIE Comite
Francois de Propaganda AeronautiQue
has just created a prize of one million
francs to be awarded to the constructor
who can produce an engine giving neces-
sary guarantees of durability, regularity.
easy dismantling and cheapness in up{
keep.
The competition is open to any foreign
made engine. Foreign constructors, how
ever before submitting their engines,
must undertake by contract to manufac-
ture in France should their motors be ac-
cepted. All engines must be ready for
testing purposes on June 1, 1928, at the
latest. The prize will be awarded some
months later.
The French Aero Club has promised
to launch the competition and will re
ceive all engines and have them tested
by proved experts in aeronautical motors.
One or more engines may be submitted
by any constructor
The idea prompting such a competition
is desire in France to find an absolutely
sure engine for commercial purposes
Speed will be of minor Importance. Re
liability is what is first needed.

WEDNESDAY.

Mrs. Hooper had been very impatient
to get at her sewing, which had been
neglected to a greater extent than she
had intended for week or more She
was determined to have Betty's little
se-colOred coat that had come out of
the dye pot lovely shade of deep pink,
finished so she could wear it to church
on Sunday. This would be the first time
the child had been able to go to Sunday
school since her illness and the new coat
was an absolute necessity for this occa-
sion. SO instead of taking her usual
rest hour in the afternoon, after she had
finished the regular mending for the
week. she cut out Betty's coat, which fol
lowed the same lines as the one she had
worn last winter. and for which she used
the same paper pattern, simply making it
larger on every seam to provide for the
little she had grown for the past year.
In order to make 1t sufficiently warm.
she determined to interline It with white
canton flannel which was inexpensive,
and for the lining itself she was using
piece of sateen that had been left over
at one time when she had made gray
sateen petticoat for herself. She had
dyed it at the same time she had dyed
the material for the coat. and because
of the different texture of the goods 1t

made a very pretty contrast for the In
side of the coat. What to use to trim
it was a question that she debated for
long time, as she didn't want to put

Mr.. MOrley's poetry makes you believe

Under Gods mysterious dispensatiohs

around the tremendous trifes' of life.

through the pages; the toy elephant lies

majestically around the nursery with
small intrepid passengers on his back.
All these bits Of childhood are here
reasured-fra gments of a kingdom too
short lived and fleeing.
But there is another side to this vol
ume which one becomes increasingly con-
scous of as the pages are turned. In
addition to the songs Of simple, unaf
fected, homely things, Mr. Morley has
added a group of unpublished lyrics

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory

1t was now getting dark and the path
III the woods could hardly be SEEN and
pretty soon the Robber Kitten lay down
on messy spot beneath tree and then
Puss Junior turned to Tom Thumb and
said:

Il think he sleeps with one eye open,7
replied Tom Thumb. Robbers very often
do"

Puss. IF l can only get that pistol

"S-s-s-h," whispered Tom Thumb.
Il think l saw his eyes open!'
For several minutes they both kept
silent Then Puss Junior said in low
voice Wed better watch him tonight,
and If we can. Wen sneak up and take
the pistol from him"
I'm go to sleep first" said Tom Thumb.
"and when you get tired you wake me

Tom Thumb was so tired that I verify
believe if the Robber Kitten had fired off
his pistol he would have still slumbered
on peacefully. Puss Junior felt wide
awake. and the more he looked at the
Robber Kitten, the more angry he be-
came.
This is the first time a cat has got the
