THE CLARION. RAYMOND BREAUX, Editor and Business Manager. PELOUSAS, :-: :-: LOUISIANA. WHEN HE WAS YOUNG. Our gran'per says when he was young The boys and girls behaved perlitely, They knew they had to hold the'r tongue And go to bed at seven nightly. They didn't whoop and stamp and shout, And people didn't need remind 'em, When they came in or else went out, To gently close the door behind 'em. Our gran'per says in his time boys To old folks alwus spoke respectful; They didn't have a mess of toys To scatter round and treat neglectful. They et their vituls 'thout a kick, An' thought they wus in luck to get 'em; They didn't mind the'r bread cut thick, And as for crusts, they always et 'em. Our gran'per says boys wiped the'r feet When he was young, and; tied their laces, And kept theyselves all clean and neat, And washed the'r necks as well as faces. They never snuck away to fish Or swim, unless the'r parents let 'em, Because no decent boy would' wish Who had good folks-to plague or fret 'em. Our gran'per says a lot o' things About them kids when he was youthful. I guess they got to sprouting wings And flew away-if he is truthful. The ones here now ain't built that way, I know it's long afore I'm flying, Or any others round here-say! Don't you believe our gran'per's lying? --Chioago Daily News. The Straws of Death How a Rivalry Was Settled on the Firing Line. By W. O. GEEHAN. T HE regiment was settling down for the night with some grumbling and much profane jesting, for western volunteers possess a sense of humor superior to the most trying cond" ions. Somewhere in the darkness i. front, the Filipinos were taking pot shots !between their cigarettes, as an occa aionalzeu! attested. 'There go the blamed typewriters," cried a young private. "Firing at fire flies, as usual. No sleep to-might." "Typewriters" was a contemptuous appellation given to the Fourteenth regulers, because the popping of their magazine guns in the distance slightly resembled the noise of the ma chine of peace. "Put your mouth on the safety notch," ordered the captain from the right of the company. "They're send ing out the outposts. Get their bear ings, so that you can shoot around them if the balLopens up." Two men were receiving final instruc tions from the colonel, previous to ven turing into the hostile country in front. "Sneak out about 200 yards," ordered the officer, "and lie low. If you see any signs of 'an attack, try and get back and warn us. If you can't get back, you must warn us somehow, and ke your chances. No need to tell m ou to be careful. You hold the lives f man.v mPn in vcnr handsr. Go.od Inclk .. ...... IY I1. . .... ..UI . .... . ...VV ..... This sort of work is called Cossack utpost duty, and men detailed upon it hould not be men of family or nerves. A few nights previous two nervous men were detailed upon it. One of them fired at a white pariah dog. The shot caused the Filipinos to concentrate a eeries of volleys lasting 30 minutes in the direction of the outposts. The Americans awakened from a sound sleep and let, go several unauthorized volleys. Consequently the two nervous men, being between two fires, were riddled with two kinds of ammunition. The two men detailed for this even ing's work were of different metal. "Morituri te salutamus, colonel," said one, with a reckless laugh. With the easy nonchalance of veterans they gave the rifle salute, and, sliding over the top of the trench, disappeared into the night. "There go two good men," observed the colonel. The two men tiptoed across the dry rice paddies, each holding his rifle at the ready. There was no sound except the occasional hiss of a randoin bullet, or the faint anaddistant pop of a rifle. "Guess this is far enough," said one of the men at length; "here is a little hollow. Why, it is almost as safe as the trench." The other acquiesced with a faint murmur, and they sprawled upon the ground facing the enemy's territory. ,"It's a queer freak of fate that we two should be detailed on this 'togeth er," observed the shorter of the two, "after avoiding each other so success fully." "It's blamed queer, Osbourne." re turned the other, "but we'll have to stand it." "It is not that I would want a bet ter man for a tight place, Wade," said Osbourne, "but there is that one thing." "Yes, I know," wearily; "that's the trouble. If you were not as good or a better man than I. there would be no danger of Helen Bartlett caring for you." "We were good friends in the old days, Billy," said Osbourne, rather huskily; "if one of us only loved her a little less." "No go, Tom," replied the other. "It is either her or death for me. Our friendship was a holy thing, but she is above that. Would you-" "No, youare right. It's no thorough THE OIL SUPPLY OF RUSSAI. The Output of Petroleum by That Country Is Larger Than That of America. A bulletin issued by the United States geological survey on the sub ject of Russian and American petrole um production says since 1897 Russia has produced more petroleum than the United States. Last year the output in Russia was 85,000,000 barrelsand in the United States 69,000.000 barrels. The facilities for handling the large Rus sian product are at present crude, cost ly and wasteful. The markets are far away from the production. It is said that three and one-half barrels of oil equals one tcn of' Russian coal, which is high-priced and inferior in quality. It is the irregular supply and the fluc tuating price which interfere with the sale of larger quantities of fuel oil in the great interior of Russia. During 1900 Russia produced about 17,800,000 short tone of coal, the higher grades of which sell from $7 to $8 per tonr During the same sear the United hare. I wish it were ended, one way or the other." "What can we do?" queried Wade, with studied composure. "We can't gouge each other with bayonets out here, and Springfields at two yardsis a bit too unique." Osbourne laughed harshly. "We might draw straws, the loser speedily to meet an accidental death." "No, thanks," replied Wade. "I am willing to take my bullet, if it comes, but not that way. One of usmight get it decently at any time." "You're right, Wade," said Osbourne. "You're a good fellow." "Same to you," returned Wade. "Let's quit chattering and attend to our work." For some time they lay silent, star ing into the darkness for things they could not see, even had they beenthere. Only the intermittent popping of mus ketry and the occasional zeu! of a Mauser bullet broke the silence. Now and then they could see through the blackness a faint, momentary red flare. "Confound them!" observed Os bourne, "The Filipinos can smoke, any how. I'm dying fora cigarette." "If you light a match here," said Wade, "we'll be targets for about 4,000 rifles." "That's true enough," agreed O. bourne, with a soft chuckle; "ciga rettes are rather expensive out here." Another period of silence followed. "Wade," inquired Osbourne, sudden ly, "are you willing to try a wild scheme for settling this matter for ever?" "Anything fair and reasonable," re plied the other. "What's your plan?" "Draw straws," said Osbourne, brief ly, "the man who gets the short one to stand up and light a match, and-goto his fathers." Wade caught his breath and re mained mute for some time, consider ing. "Not so bad," he observed, after a time; "but we are on duty now." "Oh, hang it," said Osbourne, light ly; "the Filipinos wouldn't attack for all the loot of Manila. An out post here is merely a matter of form. Besides, one of us will be left." "That's so," returned Wade, "and I see no objection." "You fix the straws, then," said Os bourne quickly. "I'll draw." He be gan to- whistle softly in a nervous fashion, as men do when they are close to death. Wade fumbled silent ly with some fragments of rice straw. His movements were slow and mechanical. Some men are consti tuted that way. "Here, Tom," he said, stretching out his right fist. "May Sthe better man get it." Osbourne extended a hand that trembled slightly, and fingered the disclosed ends of straw for a brief time. Suddenly he clutched one and HE HELD THE FLAME BEFORE HIS BREAST. pulled it out. At the same instant there was a strange, soft thud, and Wade fell upon his face. His limbs moved convulsively for a moment; then he lay motionless. "For God's sake, Billy! what's up?" cried Osbourne, in an agonized whis per. He laid his hand on the man's face, but jerked it away horrified, for it touched something warm and wet. "She's mine!" he muttered, with fierce triumph; then, "Poor Billy." A thought came that caused him to gasp and shiver. He hesitated, reach ed for the dead man's hand, and loosened its clasp from the other straw. It was several inches longer than the one he had drawn. "What shall I do?" he moaned. "Oh, Billy!" he cried, shaking the dead man's shoulder as if to rouse him. "What shall I do?" only the far-off popping of the rifles broke the op pressive stillness. "What would you have done?" he asked in the same strain. "By Joe!" suddenly, "you were a good man. You would have kept the compact. I lost fairly. Bear witness, Billy, I am as good a man as you." "He laid his hand for an instant on the dead man's forehead. Then he rose slowly, and fumbled in his pocket. At length he found a match. For a moment he stood irresolute, inhaling strong breaths of air. Al ready he had begun to feel the hor ror of being shut out' from it for ever. It was hard to give the signal for his own death. His teeth came together with a click, and, scratching the match on his shoe, he held the flame before his breast.-San Francis. co Argonaut. States produced about 270,000.000 short tons of coal.

The cost of the necessities of life has increased froms 30 to 50 per cent., as compared with four or five years ago. The examination of. the statis tical pamphlets bearing on this sub jest, is not necessary. Every house hold ýr knows it; every householder's wife, in particular, realizes it. It costs a great deal more to set the table than it did a few years ago. Wages have not gone up. The day laborer, the clerk, the man on fixed salary, is earning no more than he earned four years ago. Of two thirds of the population, it is un questionably true that, with an in come no greater than it was four years ago, it is costing them from 30 to 50 per cent. more than it cost them for the necessities of life, says the Albany Argus. What becomes of the much adver tised prosperity? Is a country pros perous whose masses have suffered a cut of from 30 to 50 per cent. in the purchasing power of their dollars, without any increase in the number of those dollars? How often does the man of average means have beef on his dinner table, nowadays? The coal strike is set tled, but what about the price of coal? It will be high and scarce all winter long; and the price will be put up immediately, after election. SUG(AR ST71rU COAL Henderson: Woodman, spare that tree, Touch not a single bough; In youth it sheltered me And I'll protect it now. How many families in Albany haie started their furnaces yet? It has been damp, and chill, and cheerless weather, for a large part of the past month; but there was no coal to be had, and discomfort-and in many instances, actual danger to health, if not disease and death-had to be endured by our citizens. Is this general prosperity? Is a country well off when its citizens cannot have coal, a prime necessity of life, except when it pleases King Morgan to say so? The beef trust forms an illegal combine, and keeps the price of beef out of the reach of the masses; the people murmur, but the subservient republican administrations, of state and nation, do nothing to relieve the situation, or to grapple with the trust. Other kinds of provisions many of them through the direct operatioss of trusts, combines and monopolies which have cornered the necessities of life-are so high that the problem of mere meat and drink for the family has become a serious cue to the man of average means. Is this prosperity? Are the masses get ting their share? A few trusts are amassing great fortunes, through special governmental favors, legisla tive and administrative; but the aver age man-is he getting his share? The democratic party is pledged to repeal all tariff duties which shelter a monopoly; to enforce existing anti trust laws, and enact others still more effective; to show that the peo ple control the trusts, and not the trusts the people. Every democratic candidate, state, congressional, legis lative and local, stands squarely and fairly on this platform. The republican party is owned by Pierpont Morgan and the trusts.

We have a re publican administration.-Indianapo lis Sentinel. - Here is a sentiment based on strict fact, and well expressed: "De mocracy demands that the mines be worked for the people, while the re publicans insist that the people be worked for the mine owners."-Al bany Argus. - Speaker Henderson not only withdrew as a candidate for congress in the Third district, but he appears to have withdrawn completely from Iowa politics. Unless they have spe cial provocation for doing so repub lican papers do not mention Col. Henderson's name.-Davenport (Ia.) Democrat. - The process of educating the majority of the people in the princi ples of a fair trade tariff is a long and difficult one. But the work is on and it will proceed faster by not ap pointing buffer commissions to patch and tinker the tariff. The longer the Dingley tariff operates and the more the trusts increase in power and plunder the more the people will be come wise to the cause of their bur dens and the sooner will come the full and effective revolution of senti ment before which Dingleyism will go down to deserved oblivion.-At tanta Constitution. A REVOLUTION PROPOSED. Twenty-Year Term for President Rgose·rlt Suggested by a Re publican Leader. John C. sooner, of Wisconsin, sen ator of the United States, is the great leader of the republicans in the sen ate. His audacity has drawn to him all the im'erialistic element, and that includes three-fourths of the repub lican senators. He is the chosen coun selor of President Roosevelt and is al ways called in when knotty questions require prompt settlement. What he says must therefore be taken to repret> the purposes of the republican party. We no longer need surmise on the extremes to which their imperial pol icy aims, or to imagine how far they would go in subverting the republic of the United States. Senator Spooner has declared it. In a speech delivered at Lancaster, Wis., October 21, he said: "If we could elect a good, strong repub lican president like Theodore Roosevelt, and a strong repubuican senate and house for a term of 20 years it would be better for the country. I believe this demogogic tear-up comes too often in this country. If this be revolutionary, my excuse is that I feel earnestly the gravity of the situa tion. I have been out speaking but one week, the hardeg week of my life, and I have found, mor% of this demogogic im becility in the state than I ever dreamed existed in Wisconsin." Miark well what he said. He would elet a good strong repub lican presidefi Theodore Roose velt for a 20-year term and a strong re publican senate and house for the same period. That would be a revolution. It would turn the r.public into an empire. The-. would no longer rule. The "strong republican" oligar chy that Senator Spooner desires to see enthroned would be perpetual in fact if not by law. In 20 years those who dreamed they would be permi t to again part.ici pate in another election would be dead, or if not dead and they still openly expressed.a desire to defeat the "strong president" they would be banished, if no worse befell them. A strong president, backed by a strong perpetualy congress and a strong army to back them, would create a despotisii and nothing but a bloody revolution would over throw it. Is President Roosevelt a party to this revolutionary programme? It is to be hoped not. And yet Senator Spooner is one of his most chosen advisors.. He links the president's name with his programme as the strong president he would like to see inaugurated for- years. Twenty years of Rooseveltk It is known he enjoys fighting and the glories of great achievements in arms, diplomacy> and politics. We know he looked down on the common people, for he has said so in the books he has written. Has a coup d' etat been planned to overthrow the republic and erect a despotism upon its ruins? If 'benator Spoener was not the therefore entirely acquainted with all most trusted republican leader and the plans and intrigues of the other leaders, it would be incomprehensi ble that such a revolution was even thought about, much less desired. If the announcement had been made by some other senator, it would be well to laugh and think of it only 's the idle vaporings of a Foraker, a Beveridge or thlke. But Senator Spooner, the great constitutional lawyer, as we are con stantly told he is, with all the train ing and experience that he has, is not likely to divulge secrets or make rash statements. What he says pub licly is for a purpose and to help to bring about what he desires. Sen ator Spooner's long connection with the great railroad corporations of his state, whose hea dquarters are in Wall street, puts #im in full com munion with the !great trust mag nates.. Is the 20-year pr gramme the plan and policy of the ,rusts? With a strong president and a strong congress td back their plans they could maste4 labor and make serfs of the balance of us. - Secretary Sh sw is reported as being in favor of n ship subsidy bill.

Not So Many of the Ponies Now Raised and Used in the Lone Star State as Formerly. The famous mustangs. or bronchos, while once very popular in the south west, are now almost eliminated from the live stock of this section. They were popular with the western pioneers because they were very hardy, easily kept, and cheap. Texas -once had scarcely any other horses ex cept mustangs and Choctaw ponies, but that pioneer age has passed. Since the organization of the Texas state fair, the horses, in common with all other live stock in Texas, have greatly improved. The fair itself hasbeenthe principal factor and incentive to the improvement of Texas horses. In the earlier years of the association the heavier breeds were largely exhibited here. Then the heavy draught horses of the Clydesdale, Norman and Perch eron types were seen in quite large numbers. Of late years, however, the tendency seems to be toward the lighter breeds mostly, such as Cleve land bays and American trotter. The last-named breed is particularly in favor in Texas, just now, and the fair exhibits this year of horses (outside of race stock) consists almost wholly of high-bred trotters and saddle ani mals. There are a number of fine stal lions, mares, and geldings of these classes on exhibition, many of which are young animals, colts and two year-olds. No true lover of horseflesh (not for eating purposes, however,), should fail to see these handsome equines, says the Dallas (Tex.) News. It seems that the drain made upon our country for horses by the Spanish American war and war in the Trans vaal has caused a dearth of desirable animals. The demand for "family horses" is unusually good, and the en ergy of breeders seems to be now es pecially directed to high-bred Ameri can trotters. It seems that this class of horses is paying the breeder much better at present than any other. The large-sized trotter is eliciting much interest from the farmers as well as from the town people. Many farmers are buying them for breeding pur poses, seeing good money in this high ly popular class of horses. The sales of these animals are by no means confined to Texas buyers, either. They are being purchased by horse fanciers in many parts of the union, for Texas horses have a fine reputation abroad as well as at home. Many good sales of saddle and harness animals are being made daily at the fair. As an evidence of the high quality of the American trotters at the fair this season, $2,500 was offered for a year ling colt and $3,500 for a two-year-old. It takes fine stock to command such prices as these anywhere. INSURING AUTOMOBILES. Owners Seeking Means of Protection Against Legal Damages Arti lng from Aeidnents. Several insurance companies have recently undertaken to insure owners of automobiles against damages which may be found against them as the result of accidents to individuals or to horses or other property arising from the. use of horseless carriages, says the New York Times. The poli cies are issued to cover losses in a single instance, and are made out either for $5,000 or $10,000. Should the owner of an automobile feel that there is a possibility that he may need Insurance against more than, one ac cident, or that on any single occasion he may cause damage in excess of $10, 000, he is permitted to take out what is designated as "an excess liability policy" at half the original rates. At present it has been found to be unwise to offer rates to owners of steam-propelled vehicles. This dis tinction is made not because this class of automobile is in itself more dan gerous to drivers, or less susceptible to control, but because it has been demonstrated by the compilation of records that more accidents have re sulted by horses becoming frightened by the escaping steam tUian from any other cause. An electric automobile may be in sured against damages to one person not to exceed $5,000 at rates from $50 to $75, or a policy providing against damages secured by-a number of per sons injured in the same accident will be issued on the same terms, it being agreed that the total liability shall not exceed $10,000. The gasoline auto mobiles come higher, the rate for the same amounts of insurance being from $60 to $90. Automobile delivery trucks are charged for insurance against the damages .they may do from $75 to $125. The insurance com panies in their accident and liability departments are still experimenting with the insurance of automobiles. If they find themselves to be losers the rates will be raised.

Onyx, a paper really like a number of marbles, costs 60 cents a sheet, 24x24 inches. Wistaria figures in a number of lovely new papers. Striped bases are used quite a bit. Nothing is prettier than the deli. cate moire paper in pink, blue, lilac or maize. These one-color papers are paneled with narrow floral effects. Paneled drawing-rooms should not have friezes. It cheapens the wjhole. Figured ceilings are in evidence. To varnish papers one must first give them a coat of shellac. Varnished paper lasts much longer for bathrooms, nurseries and kitch ens, and is more healthful, as it may be gone over with a cleansing solution.

A Surprised Physiielan. A dying patient recovers through the in terposition of a humble German. Chicago, Nov. 15. Some weeks ago Dr. G---, a very reput able and widely-known physician, living on C-- Street, was called to attend a very complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the house he found a man about forty years of age, lyingin a prostrated and serious condition, with his wholes frame dangerously affected with the painful dis ease. He prescribed for the patient, but the man continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he was found to be in a very alarming condition. The knees and el bows and larger joints were greatly in flamed, and could not be moved. It was only with extreme difficulty that the pa tient could be turned in bed with the aid of three or four persons. the weight of the clothing was so painful that means had to be adopted to keep it from the patient's body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of no avail, and left the house, the mem bers of the family following him to the door weeping. Almost immediately the grief-stricken ones were addressed by an humble German. He had heard of the despair of the family, and now asked them to try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor wife applied this remedy. The first appli cation eased the patient very much; after a few hours they used it again, and, won der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent application improved the patient. and in two days he was well and out. When the doctor called a few days after, he' was indeed surprised. Wiling to Aceommodate.
