The fourth number of the lyceum
course, The Ralston-Frosh Entertain
ers, was given at the Rex Theater
Monday night.

best numbers given by the Ellison
White Co. and was thoroughly en-
joyed by all attending. The young la
dies are all artists. the Ralston sisters
being Talented vocalists and musicians
while Miss Frosh is supreme on her
violin. The first half of the program
was an ensemble of violin, cello and
piano. readings in dialect, violin solos,
vocal solos and duets. Following a
brief intelmission, the young ladies
gave a presentation of old-time songs,
and one or two old-time dances We're
revived. including the ,ninuet. Follow
ing the close of the program, a dance
was given, which lasted until II 100
o'clock, the troupe furnishing the
music.
The fifth and last number of this
course, d. Lee Fitzpatrick, humorist-
and lecturer. is scheduled to appear in
Saratoga early in March

Judge Il. L. Blood. who made his
home here for a great many years and
returned recently from Wakarusa.
Kansas. to take baths for an attack of
rheumatism, suffered a stroke of pa
ralysis last Wednesday at the Cottage
Hotel, where he had bee stopping for
several weeks. He had received much
benefit from the baths and was prepar-
ing to leave on Thursday morning for
Kansas. A nephew living in Topeka
came here at once upon learning Of
Mr.. Blood's misfortune, and he was
taken back to Wakarusa, leaving on
Saturdays train. Many friends in this
community are hoping the paralysis
may not prove permanent and that Mr..
Blood may soon regain his usual good
health. A card received by DIR. Irwin
this afternoon from the nephew an
nounced that Judge Blood was suffer
ing much pain and was gradually be-
coming weaker.

Grounding Disturbs Weather.

Our first touch of real winter same
on February .. after the %proverbial
grounding had had ample opportunity
to see his shadow during all the fore
noon. The mercury dropped to 10 be-
low zero hat night, 20 below Saturday
night, and after a very pleasant day
Sunday the thermometer registered 4
below Sunday night. These tempera-
lures are from the records of Ira G.
Want, the local observer for the gov
eminent. Previous to February 2.
this section had enjoyed what is said
to have been the mildest winter for
many years, and few of the old-timers
can recall a January in this neck o
the woods without any severe storms
or cold weather.

able for ducks, but could doubtless
be made a great haven for them
by certain dredging and .dilxing
operations. On other parts Of the
territory wild fowl occur in myri-
ads,
Here and there in the marsh
are ridges where cattle are run
and where the soil is cultivated.
IF the land should be purchased
and presented to the State of
Louisiana as a wild life reserva-
ton I think the State would be
glad to accept it. Furthermore it
is possible that an income might
be derived by grazing and farming
privileges on the ridges that would
be quite sufficient to pay the run
ming expenses of guarding the
territory.
IF the people in this country
can be made sufficiently interested
to purchase this, and one other
smaller tract of land, we will have
continuous wild fowl sanctuary
of far greater extent than exists
anywhere on this continent. It is
the natural winter home of vast
numbers of those water fowl that
annually swarm down the Missis-
sippi valley from Canada upon the
approach of cold weather, and a
reservation of this extent would be
one of the most valuable moves
that could be made toward preserv-
ing in numbers many species of
our prosecuted wild water fowl"
