Charm* of the Lake Region of the Par- Not one of the least important items In the attractions and advantages Louisiana offers to tourists and immigrants is its rich resources of game for the gun and rod of the sportsman. A writer from Shreveport to the Dallas (Tex.) News, enlarging on the charms of the lake region of Caddo and adjoining parishes on the upper Red river, says: "In winter ducks and flsh are so plentiful that the margins of the lakes have become the scene of shameful slaughter, when sportsmen, unable to control their instincts, degenerate into killers. To the Northern seeker after amusement, who is not drawn to Florida in search of the springs of perennial youth which Ponce de Leon immortalized in fable, the quietness and balm which bang over those lakes when Jack Frost has closed the gates of the North offer an irresistible charm, and the fact of those lakes not being generally advertised accounts for their not being the most frequented winter-resorts in the United States. The shooting lasts from the middle of October until April, during which time boats of suitable size and model can be hired at a trivial cost. Ducks of every variety and in numbers that almost obscure the sun, when the quacking tribe rise between it and the observer, frequent those lakes and can be shot at either en masse or in line, as the hunter may elect. There is the canvas-back duck—without question the finest that flies, as well as the largest and gamest—the redhead, but little inferior to the canvas-back: the mallard, blue and green winged teals, the wood duck, deliciously tender; the pin-tail, which feeds on the chincapln, and any other number of ducks, from the rarest to the toughest and most hardened. Of other birds adjacent to the lakes there are snipe, plover, curlews, kildees, sandpipers, and other select varieties. Here, unlike in Florida, the hunter has not to go miles to find an egg to make his egg-nog. Darkies' cabins are everywhere on hand In Caddo Parish, and there is no darky's cabin without a supply of eggs. "The lakes swarm with fish, which readily answer to bait or fly, and so are caught in great numbers and with but little tronble. The most common varieties are the cassepargard, cat and buffalo, but there Is an abundance of perch and trout— the latter might be correctly classified as bass—which are retailed in the Shreveport market-house or shipped to other points, and yield an estimated income of from fl6,000 to $20,000. Bass Ashing is the most exciting, and with many is considered a more sublime amusement than base-ball playing, especially in hot jreather. In these beautiful lakes a lethargy never falls upon the birds or fishes, and the sportsman is invaribly the first to give out." This is only in one district. Every part of the State has its special advantages, each distinct from the other. When the sportsman tires of lake fishing and duckshooting, he can go to the coast and angle tor sea fishes and shoot deer near the salt marshes. Bear and panthers are also to be found. $1.50, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, 15.00, $6.00, $7.00, $8.00 CHILDS' SUITS O m H O Boys' It Children's Overcoats $1.50, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $5.50, $6.00, $7.00, $8, $9, $10 T)B.

You should not let any thing overwhelm you. You're the worae off for being overwhelmed by any thing. The fact is, more than half you do and expend your time and struggle on isnt business at all. You'll stand and talk with a man for half an hour when neither of you have any thing to say, and when you're through you'll suddenly recollect you're late for you're train or your interviews with somebody else. Then you rush off in a hurry. You carry hurry with you. You infect every body with it you meet. You carry on your interviews In a hurry, thinking all the time of the next thing you've got to do. You leave the business concerned in that interview about half done because you were not able to fix or center your mind wholly on it. You leave business with tags and loose ends. You are always in a fret and worry because of the consequences of your hurried state of mind—and you call all this "business." You have "forty things" to think of and do at once. You shouldn't have forty things to do at once. You should have only one thing to do at once. That's business. You mislay things. You forget things. You tuck important papers away in unimportant and obscure rat holes, hardly conscious of what you're doing. You lose minutes, hours and strength in looking for them. You call that business. All of your mistakes and worries you dignify by the name of business. You get in a worry and a hurry, and forget where you've laid your hat, and you call the hunting of that hat "business." Well, It is business, but it's the wrong kind of business. You get your thread in a tangle instead of a properly wound ball, and you call the tangle business. You carry a tangle around with you in your head and call it business. You carry your tangle to bed with you. You think it over and over. The same old tangle all night, instead of sleeping as you should to get strength for to-morrow, and you call that "business." Real business is making a business of sleep when the time comes to sleep, and not going to work when you should go to sleep. You've no more business carrying your work to bed with you than a woodsawyer has to carry bis saw and buck to bed with him. You're a worry and a pressure and a nuisance at times to your friends and those who are trying to be your friends in always talking about the load you have to carry in your business. The less of a load business is to a man the better he does business. If you're a horse-jockey and its a pleasure for yon to sell horses, you'll sail horses and possibly sell the people you sell them to. But if it's a load and a worry and an annoyance for yov to sell horses, then you won't sell many. The more a man loves his work the less of a load is it to him and the better he succeeds in his work. The thing that's best done is the thing or act that gives most pleasure in the doing. A live salesman loves to sell goods. A dead salesman who looks like a funeral when he's selling goods and mourns while selling them that he must ■ell them won't sell many goods. Your idea of "business" for the last ten years has been the borrowing of $10,000 from any body who was simple enough to lend It to you to "start the business." You will then in three years' time apend $3,000 on yourself, lose the other $7,000 and wind np with nothing. You had no idea of doing any one a wrong or deceiving any one. But when you got the money you ohaated yourself into the delusion that your own expenses were a Very necessary part of the business and you were tempted to enlarge the expenses. You're always in this way cha» ing a phantom and getting out of one business into another. Your real business is that of losing other people's money. Your real business is that of cheating other people lnt« your own delusions. You are the most dangerous of all swindlers, because you are really honest and a believer in your own swindle. You sea "millions in it," and magnetise other people in seeing your own shadowy millions. You have considerable ability as a talker, i a reasoner, a prevailar. You are the man who can make others see a gold mine in a hill ot barren rook. You are the man who can cover in imagination a mod flat or sand waste with a full-built town and make corner lots worth thousands before the stakes are driven and while the frogs are concerting upon them. When you are talking business you dont talk to the center, the pith, the rule of tha thing. You dont aim at any bull's-eye. You hum and haw, and talk all round the board, and all round what you've got to say or to propose, because you're afraid to say it. You never know exactly what you want yourself. Of course you cant then make others know what you want. You always want to get a-little more out of a man than what you say you want. That's one reason why so many 'times you get nothing at all. You lose too much time la feeHng around and taking soundings. When the main channel is marked and buoyed out straight before, and that channel is the talking straight out of what you want to do to the other man, if he'll do it, well and good; if he wont, he won't, and there's an end of It. More real business can be done in five minutes than yon do sometime in five hours. JThat It I* to M B«*t by Mm ItnOh Bi»m af Canal. This incomprehensible matedy to «« and on m* again, mji an insomnia-afflicted writer In th* Chicago TWfow*. I am again smitten with that terrible feeling of nnreit. I have had a day of fatigue and wat particularly tired whan 1 aought my couch. 1 put out the gat and thought I oould alaep, when to I there came to my pillow a whole troop of the demon* of wakefolnaat. I tried hard to baniah them. I begged, implored, beaonght, prayed and awore, but aU In vain. Not a demon moved. When I prayed they laughed, when I twore they mocked. I arote, lit the gaa, and let it flash out full blase, thinking perhapt, that the glow of unwonted brill* iancy might scatter them at bate flee from the sunlight. But not a tingle fiend left or thowed the slightest sign of taking hia departure. Can a greater torment than thia be Imagined ? What keener anguish can be conceived than that horrible state which dooma ita victims to eternal ruthlessueia, when the eye never closet and when every faculty of the tired mind never feelt the aoft touch of heavenly sleep. I know of no reason why I am now afflicted with this insomnia. I am well. I have no pains, no aches, and none of the ilia that flesh is heir to. Lot me review the dag. What have I done to provoke a visit from these demont of unrest? I have limply pursued my usual avocations. I am not aware of having wronged, cheated or injured anv one. I can not think of a tingle lie that I have told. My conscience it clear. 1 ate a light breakfast, a moderate dinner and a still lighter supper, and yet here I am at midnight a helpless victim to these tormenting fiends. The mystery it incomprehensible and impenetrable. There is one clear, palpable, visible fact, and that is, I can not sleep. Imagination begins to play its usual tricks. I am starting on my unwilling travels—away to the moon, up among the planett, over the length and breadth of the milky way, and, comet-like, swiftly pur* suing my erratic course over the pathlesa wastes of the boundless universe. Check it, stop it or bid it pause in its wild career? One might as well try to stay the furious tornado or block up the pa»> tage of the fierce cyclone. When imagination has once mounted its high horse it mult have its way. It will run its courae and neither bridle, check nor rein will itay it for a moment. Nothing is too difficult for it to attempt. It has wings for the loftiest flights into the vast heights of the blue ether or leaden weights to carry it down into the profoundest depths. Thoie might be very pretty journeys at times, but when a man doesn't want to travel at all they are very disagreeable. I don't want to go now, for I should like to sloep, but the treacherous god of dullness la away paying a visit to more fortunate eyelids. He and all of hia angel ministera are just now engaged in wafting the choice blessings of soft slumber to bardfitted labor, sending gentle sleep down upon the tired and tolling milliont whote browt have been sweating through the long day for the bread they earned. Thing* are not io unevenly divided after all. The poor laborer whose brawny musclea have been in exercise all day looka up to the rich nabob with envy, while the latter looks down upon the laborer with the lame feeling and covete the peaceful sleep which the the toiler enjoys so sweetly. Would he, the hard worker, If he knew all the conditions, change places with the rich? Would he take all the torture of unrest, be haunted by the demons of insomnia night after night, tost upon his uneasy :ouch through the long watches of the ledioua night, and rise haggard and unro- Freshed in the morning for all the wealth le covets. Life is thort at best, and who injoys it most? He who sleeps o' nights,or le who doesn't? The man who toils durng the day and sleeps night after night, vho rises betimes in the morning, eata hia tumble breakfast with a relish, cornea to ■It tubstantlal dinner with a good nppe;ite and a healthy digestion, partakes of nit frugal supper, and then retires to hie „ ... humble couch to sleep and rest throughout They Come When Tbelr Owner Rings a _ . , . ..." ...
