A Young man went with some girls,
In the woods to jump and roam,
He made one leap across a ditch
And had to wear a mother hubbard home.
Now tell us not in doleful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream,
For had he bought his clothes of GERSON,
A horse it would take to break a seam.

Live Oak Plantation Deeply Involved.
A foreclosure suit of more than or
dinary interest is that filed in the
clerk's office by Attorneys McCoy
& Moss, and Merrick & Lewis on the
part of the Guarantee Trust company
of New York, against the North
American Rice Co., of a mortgage to
secure an issue of bonds amounting
to $150,000 on the lands owned by the
latter company, says the Lake Charles
Amerian.
The petition states that on April
10th, 1902, the North American Rice
company issued 300 bonds of the value
of $500 each, giving in security thereof,
their plants and lands, among which
are 1,565 acres in Calcasieu parish
and 5,565 acres in Cameron parish.
One of the provisos of the bond's
issue was that should any of the bonds,
taxes interest become due and remain
unpaid for a period of ninety days, a
foreclosure on all the issue should
I follow.
As Judge Miller is out of the city
and will perhaps be gone several
weeks yet, no appointment or con
sideration of the papers can be made
until his return.
The North American Rice Co., two
years ago purchased the Live Oak
plantation of Capt. C. A. Lowry
at the lower end of Lake Arthur, lying
partly in Calcasieu and partly in Cam
eron parish and containing about
8,000 acres of land, with a rice canal
and pumping plant. At the start, the
company was crippled by a salt water
invasion which destroyed its crop.
The plant has been under the man
agement of Howard Ackerman.

trict court.

notes of $7500 and $3074 respectively,

which he was compelled to take up to
protect Mrs. Abbott and himself from
having property in Jennings sold to
pay the $3074, as plaintiff claims a

Hurrited Exit and 'arting Shot the hie
silt of Noise 1ade by Tihe'm.
WVeudcnesday morning whc~i the otlice
of the Lewis Lumber ('o. was opened
for the day's business it was noticed
that from a bullet hole in the glass
door leading fr(,in the office to the
stock room then- had been a visitort
the previous iilht. A further inves
tigation rev,t,,ed the fact that an at
tempt at ro0, ,ery had been car lfully
planned anti doubtless would have been
carried out but for the titmely but un
witted interference of an innocent
mule.
The screen at the rear window on the
east side of the building had been re
moved and the sash almost cut in two.
Whether it was by mere accident or a
sudden impulse will never be known,
but the glass was broken at a point
where the cutting was being done and
through the opening the patent fasten
ing was relieved, the window hoisted
and an entrance gained.
W. E. Fbhught, manager of the com
pany, keeps his delivery mules in a
barn at the rear of the lumber office
and frequently a noise made by them
on the plank floor is mistaken for
some one entering from the rear.
From indications it is probable that
the would-be burglar was thus mis
led.
In the center of the stock room is a
box standing on end and on top of
this a smaller box. In the dim moon
light and during a period of excite
ment the figure could be easily mis
taken for that of a man, the smaller
box representing his head and the
larger one his shoulders and body,
and it is evident that the intruder took
this view of the situation. For hear
ing the noise made by the mules and
seeing the stranme object in the dark
ened room, he doubtless thought he
had been discovered and pulled out a
faithful 38, of the Colts or British
Bull Dog variety, and fired.
Had the object been a real man he
would have been as silent the next
morning as the harmless paint box,

glass door was true, the ball passing
squarely through the box resembling
a human head and was imbedded in a
piece of lumber several feet beyond.
The intruder then placed ,one foot on
the window sill and the other on the
stringer of the high picket fence near
by, leaped to the street and made a
hasty retreat.
As there is nothing of particular
use to an ordinary person in a lumber
office, it is almost certain that the
noise of the mule frustrated the plans
of an attempt at safe-cracking.
An Injustice to Calcasien.
Lake Charles American: Col.
George H. Tinker does Calcasieu an
injustice, probably unwittingly, by
naming this parish to a Picayune re
porter, as the chief kicker on the Mer
mentau levee district. Calcasieu has
not been worrying much over the levee
district, indeed, Calcasieu men gave
the dam project its first impetus and
contributed liberally to the work al
ready done upon it. When Col.
Tinker names Calcasieu as a center
of disaffection he is doing rank in
justice to our friends at Gueydan who
have hardly been able to sleep a wink
since the levee district law was passed
last July.
W. T. Barlett, a young man about
26 years of age, of Columbus, Ga.,
missed his footing in attempting to
catch a freight train at Iowa Junction
last night and had all of his toes on
the left foot ground off and his foot
otherwise badly mangled. He was
brought to Welsh and his injuries
dressed by Dr. Arceneaux. and this
morning was taken to the S. P. hos
pital at Franklin.
lIh E NOW LI,.NYI.4E A NEW IO1,i:1:.
Its Merits ns a flientit 4;a~ker lBeing
Tested by leamiiont Ilousevives.
The first rice flour to arrive in this
'ity has been purebhased by one, of the
leading gr cers of the city who will
distribute it among those interested in
the same for the purpose of testin;r it
and seeing if it will not be as good as
wheat flour for some things and bett.r
than pure wheat flour for many othl'rs
wheo one-third of wheat flour is mixed
with two-thirds of rice flour, says the
Beaumont Journal.
One of the peculiar features of the
new rice flourt is the fact that it comes
from that far away out of the way
place called Brownsville, where it
seems that some miller has gotten in
advance of the rice millers of the rice
belt and demonstrated to them that
there are plenty of ways in which rice
can be utilized when the brain power
of enterl)rise is brought into play in
that business as well as in other lines
of the miller's art.
The grocer who secured the samples
that are now here has sent in a large
order to the Brownsville man, which
he will not sell when it arrives, but
will distribute it free in places where
it can be given a thorough test. A
representative of the Jourual was
shown some of the new rice flour this
afternoon and was surprised at the
extreme.1 fine manner in which it has
been ground, being at least as fine as
the finestground wheat flourand shows
by color and taste that it is just the
thing for batter cakes. In fact a
Chicago restaurant man some time
ago proved that rice batter cakes were
far superior to buckwheat or flour
cakes of the same kind.
The tests of the flour at the Browns
ville mill go to show that when mixed
with one-third of wheat flour the rice
flour adapts itself to yeast very read.
ily and is even better that way than
pure wheat flour for bread or pastry.
The only trouble is the price asked by
the Brownsville miller, which is five
cents per pound. There is no doubt
in the mind of the grocer handling
the above that when the price is re
duced to an equal with wheat flour,
and it has been a little bit better ad
vertised, that it will take rank with
wheat flour in the markets of the
north, where the people prefer flour
from hard cereal.

Welsh Oil Shipped in Iarrels.
Capt. Walshe writes as follows con
'erning the merits of Welsh oil as a
lubricant: The first shipment of oil
in barrels from the Welsh field was
completed Saturday afternoon, and
was shipped that night by rail. This
shipment was made by the Hill Top
Oil Company of New Orleans. The
oil is from the cofmrpany's wells in the
proven field and is of high grade,
hence it was shipped in barrels, which
is quite unusual in shipping crude
oils, but the Welsh oil has already
quite a reputation as a good lubri
cant, even as it comes from the earth,
and when treated, as is being done
daily at the Southern Pacitic Railroad
Company's plant, about a mile west
of Welsh, it is said to be the best and
by long odds the cheape~. lubricant
known. Indeed, so valuable is this
Welsh oil that the Southern Pacific
Company long since ceased to burn it.
as fuel, and now brings all its fuel oil
from Texas. Oils from its wells here,
and from other wells in the Welsh
field, which the company is buying,
are treated and stored for other uses
than fuel.
