SUPPORTING YOUR HUSBAND.

This may be wisdom from learned
person. II may be big business for an
United States senator to be indulging
in. But it would seem that it is not
a very good mental attitude the sena-
tor advises girls to assume upon
marrying mental attitude which
leads them to expect at any time to
have to resort to threats to escape
the unpleasantness of begging money
from friend husband Where there
is little faith there should be no mar
raige. Where a woman marries man
with the suspicion in her mind that
she may have to humiliate herself in
order to get the money she needs the
marriage Is not likely to be happy
one, 1t was Emerson who, in his es-
say on Friendship, warned against
providing for infirmity." He warned
the friend never to look for disloyalty
in his friend. II may be good advice,
and in this day probably it is good
advice, to encourage girls in studying
or preparing themselves for self-sup-
port in an emergency. But don't start
them out with the fear that they will

GEN. SHERMAN WAS
SOUTHERN EDUCATOR
Preparing For@U. C. v. Reunion
In April Brings This To
Light

BATON ROUGE, La; March s.
Launching of preparations for the
annual reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans to be held in New
Orleans in April as recalled to Lou
isiana historians an interesting fact
in connection with one of the out
standing figures of the Civil War
which is known to few persons of
the present generation.
General William Tecumseh Sher-
man, who headed the 'march to the
sea" through Georgia, resigned as
head of a Southern educational in
stitution in 1861 to tender his serv-
ices to Ohio, his native state.
There hangs in Garig Hall, at
Louisiana State University here, an
oil painting Of General Sherman, who
was first superintendent of the old
Louisiana State Seminary, at Alex
andria. The Seminary was burned
in 1869, was relocated in Baton
Rouge and became Louisiana State.
General Sherman, who graduated at
West Point, attained the rank OF
colonel in the army, resigned his
commission, and was elected super
intendent Of the Seminary in 1859.
A member of the faculty Of the
Seminary was Colonel Samuel n.
Lockett, commandant Of cadets, who
graduated second in the class OF
1859 at West Point. Colonel Lock
ett was an artist of note and the
nortrait Of General Sherman now IN
Garig Hall was painted by him at
Alexandria. Colonel Lockett, incl
dentallv. enlisted in the service OF
the Confederacy at the outbreak OF
.tbo war and as chief engineer WIFE
tho troops at Vicksburg planned the
fortifications at that point when
witbstood for many months the siege
Of the Federal forces under General
Grant.
The nortrait of General Sherman
buno over the mantel in the library
Of the Seminary at Alexandria ana
when the building burned it was car
lied to safety by the cadets.

DECLARE TRACTORS
USED CRUSH BODIES
Pathologists Report Identity Of
Method Used In Killing
Daniel and Richard

BASTR0P, La, March 8.-(By
the Associated Press.) - Persons
who have examined carefully the
report of pathologists on the eondi-
tion Of the mutilated bodies of Watt
Daniel and T. F. Richard, found in
Lake LaFourche last December and
who are familiar with mechanical
devices, declare they believe they
identified so-called torture machine
as one of the many road or farm
tractors in use throughout the par
ish.
The bodies of the two men when
found were crushed and broken in
methodical manner.
Authorities have received numer-
Gus anonymous letters from planta
tion owners and farmers of the state
suggesting a tractor must have been
used, and arguments to sustain the
theory are similar to those advanced
here. Experiments with tractors
have been made recently and it has
been determined that a certain type
would crush a body same as those of
Daniel and Richard were mutilated.
