make engagements. but he cannot al
ways carry them out, for there Is an
other power which must have the final

. ii my case exactly last week. I went
10 Louisiana aid had in mind to spend
last Sunday in the city, but, believe me,
honey, them bugs got behind me and
it was necessary for me to return to
this place after having two doctors.
You see, The bugs have not given
me up yet. bur are fighting hard to get
this old frame of mine. and while /
have been trying to get back at them,
they will not give up. l have told you
from time to time how DR.. George
Cleveland Hall has fought them and
he is still willing to wage the fight,
vet now and then they will try again.
Let the good work go on.
1 This time | had DR.. NJ. c. Gaines Of
New Orleans. When they were con
spring inside to do their dirty work, /
called in Dr. Gaines and he put his
tube to his ears, listened at what they
were saying, and told me to take the
medicine that DR.. Hall had given me,
and told me to be careful as to what
4 doctor | had, for all doctors could not
understand them heart bugs, and per-
haps would make mistake. He spoke
in high terms Of DR.. Hall, and was
glad to hear him do so. DR.. Gaines,
as / have told you before, is some doc
tor. Then while in Shreveport that
other fellow tried himself, that is to
say, the head bugs began to want a
whack at me, and when got to Beau
mont, / telephoned over the speaking
tube to DR. T. V. Overton and he
Sent me some head medicine to combat
them, but ] could not use it, hence,
when got back to New Orleans got
lin touch with another physician and
he is fine. DR.. B. F. Easter, who has
behind his name physician and surgeon
and is in charge Of the work for the
Pythians Of the state. He is a great
man and he came to me at the home
sof Dr. B. G. Dawson, put that head
bug fighter in my arms and them fell
lows have been going since. They are
running to get out Of the way.
Perhaps you want to know where /
have been and what | have been doing,
for that other letter was from Leland
College, Baker, Louisiana, and have
left there, as you can see. l came in,
had dinner with Rev. H. R. Baranco,
and he is not preacher, but layman,
and his state has put him out for the
position of secretary of the A. NJ. E.
Sunday School Union He is a fine
fellow, and would make a good secre-
tary. Then found me headed for New
Orleans. The old iron horse was late,
but he got me in the city just the
same, and at the stable / met Miss
Enola E. Porche, one Of the teachers
Of the city and worker. She was
On her way to spend what they call
a weekend il Baton Rouge, the capital
Of Louisiana. and her former home.
She is one Of the finest young women,
and scholar, but she Is not educated
away from her people, but closer to
them. She shook my lily black hand.
While she was away, had the pleas
ure Of going to her home, meeting her
sister and her brother-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall, and then ] met the
other sister. Miss Grace Porche, who
is to graduate this year from New Or
leans College, a fine young woman,
and then / met the mother, who is in
deed fine woman. The night was
spent at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
NJ. c. Gaines, and after getting around
some the next morning, left over the
Texas & Pacific for Donaldsonville,
where Rev. w. H. Reed met me with
his automobile car carriage and toted
me to his home about six miles in the
