W ith lt)iii0e.'e Cuiet ctliig' to dis turb the equilibrium of the heavenly bodi es. and I o .evelt comingrt in June t dituil tihe equilibrium of the ter retriatl, there shnºY1 he nI' tearth of excitement thi st ummiler. SThre lonm exi e.lfmi hia s at last apt peared, and a movement has been stat t-d in W i, ,on ini.. which it is ex pec''-U will s,,,n h,. C,'ome a national one, the purpose of which seems to be the re-electim r Tl'h.--.dore Rloosevelt as pri-.'den t. The ne-w movement is launc.hed by the National ('Conserva tion association, a:;d, is said is en rolliiu' many Demnicrats, as well as con er'vaLtive republicans within its ranks. It would seem that the old story that hens' enms sometimes contained words or characters traced upon them that were the forecast of war, is not altomrothpr a nature fake, if the story of an Oakland dealer is true. Ac cording to said dealer, he purchased "fresh" ' _' a from a storage plant, upon ore of which was written a woman's sIl.ot and address. Aside from tie war that may result from the fact that t' rough this name Dr. Wiley has discovdred said "fresh" egg to be over three years old, there is unlimit ed possibilities of domestic strife if the correspondence that was started on an egg by a Miss, three years ago. comes into the bands of the husband of a matron three years later. The juvenile court law and the at tending lack of any place being pro vided for the care of juveniles, con. tiuues to make the prosecution of criminals i farce in this state. We publish elsewhere in this issue, the re port of the releasing of one Alex Brown, one of the worst toughs and criminals that Lake Charles has had to Jo with lately, from a three years' irtprisonment, because, according to the juvenile court law, he had not reached the age of accountability. Brown was convicted of burglary and the only extenuati'g cir::umstance about the case is, that Brown was not as old as he will be sometime. It is not at great while since a similar case occurred here, and yet under the ex isting law, nothing can be done with the criminal. If it stooped at the mere loss of property stolen, it would not be so had, but it don't. It throws open the gates of crime to every boy who may desir to enter, and guaran tees him a free cour-se In practical ex perience in perpetrating all manner of crime, without fear of punishment. As the law stands, Louisianal furnish es the finest training school in the Id for the making of professional finals. The time has come when good citizens of the state should 11 a halt in this matter and demand of every legislator who asks their support, a solemn promise that they will do all in their power to eliminate the present conditions.

The following item from the Times Democrat, will be of interest, not only to housewives, but to prospective growers olf broom corn, as well: New Al",ny, Ind., Feb. 10 House wives may within a few months, be compelled to pay a dollar for an or dinary broom, is the discouraging' prediction of the large manufacturers of this comlodii;y in Southern Indi ann. Evansville factories are 'reoott ed to be offe*in. three times normal price for broom (:orn, and find it an extremely Fcarce article, even at that ilgure.

The deathbed scene, while pathetic and painful, was one of the most beautiful eveir witnessed, She was ready and willing to go, re peating several promising verses, the Lord's Prayer and 23rd Psalm, choos ing her own text, which is found in the latter clause of the 5th verse of the 30th lsalm: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the iorning."

The Best MoIr of Life Is when you do some great deed or discover some wonderful fact. This hour came to J. R. Pitt, of Rocky Mt, N. C. when he was suffering in tenselev, as he says, "from the worst cold I ever had, I then proved to my great satisfaction, what a wonderful Cold and Cough cure Dr. King's New Discovery is. For, after taking one bottle, I was entirely cured. You can't say anything too good for a medicine like that." Its the surest and best remedy for diseased lungs, Hemorages, LaGrppe, Asthma, Hay Fever any Throat or Lung Trouble. 500c $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaran teed by all druggists. Frequently when making a telephone call, the line is reported "busy". Do not understand this as a 'refusal to give connection, but the line called is really in use. It is much easier for the operator to give you connection, which requires only a simple motion of the hand and arm, than it is for her to answer "Line busy." This happens more ftequently on party lines and it is to every one's advan tage in many respects to get direct line service The manager Will ex plain more fully.

The following decision of the su preme court, will he of decided intier est to the several classes of people, especially those seventeen-year-old boys, who have been priding them selves that they still had a year he fore them in which they could trans gress :ll law without fear of ipunish ment: The state supremlre court yesterday handed down another decision bear ing on the juvenile court law, which maintains the stand taken by District JItude Winston (3)\.rton and District Attorney Joseph M!oore in cases whicih have come Iefore t ,e Fifteenth .Judi cial I)istrict court ;sere. The syllabus of tie case decided by the sulpreme court r iads as follows: I "Juvenile courts have no juisdic - tion over minors, or of offenses against minors, ov, r seventeen years o of age. A minor over the age of seventeen years, is not considered a child in the sense :' Section 9, Act 83 of 1908. " In other words. i the minor is one dal past his seventeenth birthday, be is considered as noit a juvenile, but as actually eighteen years old and there fore subject to the action of the regu lar courts of jurisdiction in such cas es as mnay be charged against him. In the matter of the case of Alex Brown, the negro who was released Ifrom the state penitentiary on a writ of hah:es co(rplus after being sentenced to serve three years on a charge of confessed burglarv, it was shown con elusively that the boy was really only ;':neen years of age, not yet having r-atel.et : ; .."enteeth birthday. Burglars Itk. Cooper D)rug Store of $100 and Other Valuables. Burglars are again showing their hand in Welsh. Some time between Sunday afternoon and Monday morn ine, the Cooper Drug Store was en tered and the safe broken open and relieved of about $100 in cash and some other valuables of lesser value. C Entrance was made through a rear window that apparently has not been locked for a long time. The safe was locked but the combination was not turned on in full, being merely set, so that the thieves only had to turn the combination a short distance in order to unlock the outer door. The door of the cash box was then torn off with some sort of pry and the safe robbed. Besides the money the thieves secured a number of gold rings that ctre a q part of the old Billon stock, and were kept in the safe for safe keeping. So far as has yet been discovered the burglars were a pretty smooth lot, leaving no trace of their identity. They also took the precaution of clos ing the safe door and locking it again so that the theft was not noticed until early in the forenoon, when Mr. Man deville went to the safe for change. A number of checks and other p;apers were unmolested, showing that the thicves were somewhat familiar' with tile value of things. Mi.s trchard's iMusicale a Splendid Success. One of the most pleasant events of t' e season, that we failed to chronicle i. last week's issue, was the musical eatertainment furnished by miss Yeola itichard and the pupils of her music (lass, at the Auditorium, on the even ing of the 8th inst. Although the ev cuing unfortunately was very disa greeable, vet a fair sized audience was in attendance, and all felt fully repaid for their time and money. While all the work was good and showed evi dence of careful work on the part of both pupils and teacher, yet some of tilhe numbers were exceptionally pleas ing. Among these was the costumed Garland Drill by the Big Girls, which called forth L strenuous euchore. The Scarf Drill by the Little Girls. was equally popular. The recitations given by Little Miss Pearl Fontenot9 and Miss Ruth Barry, a niece of Miss i Richard, from Grand Chatteau, pleased the audience immensely. g Other equally worthy numbers, con- * sistiug of piano and vocal renditions a helped to make a pleasant evening. Aside from furnishing an excellent evening's entertainment, Miss Rich ard generously gave the net proceeds * of the entertainment to ths- Auditori um fund. Welsh Boys Join Boys' ('orn Club. A good sized delegation of boys from Welsh, went to Jennings Tues day evening to join the Boys' Corn * Club that was being organized there, . They were accompanied by Prof. Ar nette, who is an enthusiastic believer * in boys. The meeting was held in the schoolhouse and was:addressed by Prof. L. V.
