IN MEMORIAM.

In each community there are mer
and institutions operating silently
whose works blend with the uplift'
ing elements which mark the COM
munity life. They are of its spirit
It is not amiss, at times, to give
thought to them.
The Societe de Renaissance ct
d'Assistance Mutuelle de la Nouvelle
Iberie, has pursued its work Of
charity in years beyond the life of
its now mature members. It has as
suaged many sorrows, and brought
relief to many doors. In all Of its
work, from the date Of its first.meet-
ing, the deceased member, Ozeme
Jacob, has been leader; and in its
dispensation Of good, he has been
one of its trusted messengers. His
kindly nature led him readily to the
service of his fel1owmen, and in his
sphere of activities he rendered what
was available to him. As q citizen
he measured to proper standards;
and in his social relations gathered
a circle of friends who held him in
good esteem.
His memory is entitled to a spe-
cial page in the records of the Socie-
ty which now pays tribute to him.
BE 1T RESOLVED, That the
Societe de Renaissance ct d'Assist-
ance Mutuelle de Ia Nouvelle Iberie
express its sense Of loss in the death
Of OZEME JACOB.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
That there be conveyed to his fami-
" the coincidence of it's entire men,
bership.

Escapes Jail Again

Harland Morris, the youth who
escaped from the county jail here
last Tuesday and was re-csptured
near Biggers, made another get
away last Friday night. He had
been placed in cell following his
recapture last week and was thought
to be security iucarcerated. The
other prisoners say he picked the
cell lock with a piece of wire, but
that feat is considered impossible,
especially from the inside of the
cage. The more general belief is
that the jailer neglected to fasten
the door securely, which kept the
lock from catching. No trace OF
the missing man has been found.

EDening Story
Old Home Week and Carrie.
BY H. LOUIS RAYBOLD.

Carrie Brown let fall the home town
paper she had been reading and gazed
unseeingly out thru her white dimity-
draped window. So they were going
to have an Old Home Week back in
Glenwood, and had sent out a call for
the return of all native sons and
daughters.
How she would like to go back.
Not since she had left the place,
twelve years ago, had she revisited it
and her heart held a mighty longing
to see once more the winding, maple
shaded streets; the modest, comfort
able homes; even the unprogressive
business block with its one-story post
office, rival groceries, meat market
and Horace KimbalPS Hardware En-
porium.
Thinking of Horace, she sighed, just
"a bit wistfully. How easy it had been
to scorn his proposal of marriage
when the years seemed reckoning her
to special, glorious destiny. Life
undoubtedly would have been a hum
drum affair as his wife, bound to
Glenwood's monotonous round of exis-
'tence. She wondered whom he had
married; one of the Benton girls quite
probably. She could visualize Ida
Benton, growing stout with years, and
a whole row of little Kimballs, solid
and flaxen-haired like their father.
Could she bring herself, even for
one BRIEF week, to return to Glen
wood? How could she, confessed
failure, face her townspeop1e who had
prophesied so bright a future? Not
had they foreseen half as brilliant n
career as she herself. She had felt
so confident Of tremendous success,
realizing her owl capacity for Cruel
ing work and stamina that could stand
temporary defeat and make Of it a
stepping-stone to achievement
Yet she had failed, for want of some
vital spark. oh, she had made a Iiv-
ing. Odd jobs of TRANSACTIONS, hack
work of various sorts, the syndicate
of her Daily Verse for Daily Needs
But the novel of her dreams, the ire
mendous poem, the short-story that
was a masterpiece-where were they :?
Thinking over these things. Carrie
dallied with the thought of Old Home
Week in Glenwood- Tt might prove
tantalizing, but it couldn't help but be
Interesting to meet some of Glen
woods genuine successeS=Will Bart
