In another column of this issue of
the .oURNAL we publisa a set of plans
that have been formulated by Mr. D.
W. Bailey, of Lake Charles for secur
ingo a betr understanding between
capital and labor in this state. There
is no qricestion but that some plans
are needed to eliminate or reduce to a
ininimuni the niumber and extent of
labor strikes in tills as well ase other
states and countries, and while we
have not beTered any criticisms or
commendations of Mr. Haiiev's plans
for doing this, we shall be glad to
have our readers do so and will be
pleased to give a hearing to contri
buted views upon this subject. It is
snly by a thorough agitation of these
questions that they will ever be settled
hv the people, the only way in whic
sov great question can be settled cor
rectlv.
According to recent decrees of Dame
Fashion, we are soon to bid adieu to
one of the most interesting as well as
the most economical creations of fem
inine wear that the preseri decade has
produced, namely the Hobble skirt.
BIut the loss qeiie Hobble is not with
out its compeusations, as the newer
ureation that is to supplant it will be
the flowing Grecian robe draped from
the shoulders, that will be capable of
bseing even miore attractively arranged
than was its predecessor. The change
from the Hobble to the Grecian robe
is of great economic importance, as it
is estimated that the new style will re
quire at least fifty peyr cent more goods
tfor every dress made than the old
style required.

Mrs. E. M. Stewart correctly garbed
for the part was the fortune teller of
the evening. The fortunes were re
spective rather than prospective, re
vealing a leading trait event or
characteristic in the past life of each
individual. This was well planned
and was the source of much merriment.
Several other interesting features
entered into the amusements of and
contributed to the success of the
evening.
Tissue paper hearts were finally
produced containing the name of each
gentlemen present, and were allowed
to be blown about the room by the
wind, each lady secured one of these
and secured the gentleman whose name
was written thereon as her partner
for refreshments.
The refreshments, while the last was
by no means the least important of
the evening's entertainment. A two
course luncheon was served that dem
onstrated beyond a doubt that the
ladies of the entertainment committee
are past masters in the art of pre
parin good things to eat.
The entertainmet committee waps
composed of seven members of the
Alpha Club. Mrs. E. C. Willard the
chairman being assisted by Madames
I. L. Meeks, S. O. Scoggins, Will
Terry, It. S. Greer, ii. M. Gray and
Miss Leota Robinson.
Miss Ling's Class Give Her a Pleas
ant Surprise.
Last Thursday evening the memberr s
of the sixth grade gave their teacher,
Miss Ethel Lini, a very pleasant sinur
prise party, all meeting at the home
of Mrs. M. L. Prentice, just across the
streel from Miss Ling's rooms. After
the class had assembled Miss Ling
was invited over on some pretext that
did not arouse her suspicions, and all
unawares of what was in store for her
walked into the midst of her pupils.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
the enjoyment of games and conversa
tion. Delightful refreshments were
served and a jolly evening spent by
all present.
Would Have Made A Great Success,
But If "So & So" Were
In The Way.
Many young people who lack gump
tion, get-up-get or whatever you term
it, often reason thusly: If it had not
been for so-and-so, and such-and-such
a thing, I could have made a great
success. The if and so-and-so are in
the way of these young people, and
such a successful career is barred by
the if and so-and-so that enter into
their daily life and rob them of their
vim and courage.
These little words are the breast
works thrown up by the weak asd va
ciliating, which beguile and deceive,
and which are offered as excuses for
many failures. This class of young
people need our help. Our life work
is to train young people to determine,
to get up and do things the commercial
world wants done, land for which it
readily pays cash, develop their latent
talents, quicken their perceptions,
teach them bookkeeping-business
training, shorthand, t v pew ri t ing,
telegraphy, station work, business
English, business law, business arith
metic, spelling, husiness writing.
rapid mathemetics, and the use of the
most modern office appliances. With
such training the if and so-and-so is
put out of the way. We have trained
thousands who are now on the road
to success, and can do the same with
You.
Having control of the famous Byrne
simullied shorthand and practical
bookkeeping gives us a wonderful
advantage over other schools in as
much as with these modern, practical
system we give a morethorough course
in almost half the time required by
other schools using other systems.
Confirm this assertion by inquiring
of the best bookkeepers and stenogra
phers of your town who have attended
our institution. Also write for cata
log and read what young people say
we have done for them and how quick
ly we removed the if and so-and-so
from their pathway, and placed them
well on the road to success. Tyler

M. L. Farlew Passes 78 Mile Stone.
It was our good fortune, last Tues
day to sit at meat (and many other
good things), with a company of the
truest and bravest men that this or
any other country of age has ever
produced, a company consisting of the
old soldiers who wore the Blue and
the Gray, may their glory never grow
dim.
The occasion was the celebration of
the seventy-eight birthday of our fel
low townsman, M. L. Farlow, who
followed his country's flag through
the vicissitudes of war for four long
years. In commemoration of his
birthday, Mr, Farlow invited those of
his old Union comrades living in
Welsh, as well as Col. J. J. McCollis.
ter, who served with distinction in the
Confederate ranks, to meet with him
and partake of a most excellent dinner
And right here we must say that if
Mr. Farlow did as good a job of
foraging in the sixties as he did in
securing the viands for this dinner he
surely could have no complaint to
make of his rations in those days.
Covers were spread for ten. there
being three of a later, generation,
Mr. Henry Day, Mr. Mills and your
scribe present besides, our hoste. M.
L. Farlow, M. E. Morrill, J. F. 13ow
ers, J. B. tLee, J. A. Anderson, J. J.
McCollister, and B. L. Graves. J. B.
Lee, the youngest of the veterans
present is a youth of sixty-five while
our hoste had reached the more 'nature
years of seventy-eight, and the aver
age age of all present was an even
seventy years.
Following the splendid repast to
which all present did ample justice,
the company spent a pleasant hour in
the parlor telltng and listening to
deeds of valor and prowess preformed
in the days of the long ago. After
thanking their hostesses Mrs. Farlow
and Mrs. Kate Day for a most excell
ent dinner, and wishing Mr. Farlow
many happy returns of the day that
was being celebrated, the company
broke ranks and departed to their re
spective ,homes.
While Mr. Fariow has nearly
reached the four, score mark in life's
journey, he is still hale and hearty,
enjoying the best of health, and is as
spry and active as many a lad of
twenty
