Ilk WARNING TO PARENTS.
||primts in Orange should make
especial point to warn theirj
i.wtaile traversing or playing
|th<.'streets to refrain from dashing
front of automobiles or other
driver of an automobile will
INy or knowingly injure anyone,
there is always danger of accident
the proper precautions are
Hierved.
Kp.case in point.
(Hieitple of days ago a gentleman
" -iving an automobile was coming up
K street and just before reach-
f the Orange & Northwestern cross-
he saw several little boys play-
!,in the street and one of the boys
CntJy preparing to dash across the
let in front of the automobile in
frit of bravado and fun.
||§Pfce- gentleman promptly applied
brake and brought the machine to
speed just as the boy, sure
, started to dash across the
et. The boy, unfortunately, slip-
and fell right in front of the
Ifihine, but owing to the precau-
of the gentleman driving in hav-
applied the brakes in time, the
Ijjpke was brought to a standstill
a* it touched the prostrate form
yl'ihe boy.
The little fellow, of course, was
itinjured, but’it was a narrow escape.
driver of the machine had
taken the precaution to stop the
rer and apply the brake, a dread-
accident would have occurred and
pthe boy had not fallen he could
’9<l possibly have crossed the street
JMt of the approaching machine.
KiTfelt should be an object lesson.
Parents should warn their children
tbout trying to run across the street
jHpfad of an automobile, or of any
S§lfce,' moving vehicle.
* if they do not take this precaution,
accident may occur at any time,
one for which no one will be
asible but the children them-
or 'Ifheir parents who have
ed to warn them about thus taking
fiances.
OTHER PEOPLES BRAINS.
One of the most difficult things
an ever tried to do is to make sacri-
fice for others when he knows that
ey will not appreciate the sacrifice.

A Shreveport man has been yanked

for selling a pint bottle of real riiam-
y pagne for 25 cents. In Lake Charles

Talking about what disposition will
be' made of the money paid the state
treasury by the Waters Pierce Oil
company, in settling the big fine that
:has been upheld by the Supreme
• Cpurt, why not provide additional fa-
cilities for caring for the unfortunate
insane of the state and thus prevent
the necessity of holding any of them
pt) the county jails? No better dis-
position could be made of a portion
of the money than this—Orange
jftegder.
This million and a half of good
’_*» dollars is a windfall for
Sirital, and there is grave danger that
tax payers will not receive as full
Btiits from it as they are entitled
The disposition to unthoughtful
extravagance in sudden prosperity is
g* likely, in states as in individuals.
Some of this money could certainly
ifee expended wisely, however, in the
Sray suggested by the Leader. It is
tu vef amiss to extend needed help
to those who can not help them
selvea.—Galveston News.
What I Live For.—
I live for those who love' me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me.
And wait* my spirit, too;
For the human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The noble of all ages, '
Whose deeds crowd History's pages
And Time’s great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To sanctify the union
’Twixt Nature's heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill each grand design.
I live to hail the season
By gifted minds foretold,
When men shall rule by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united.
And every wrong thing righted.
And the whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old. —Ex.

Civic Club Parade and BalL—
The ladies of the Civic Club all
agree that the flower parade and ball
on Wednesday, April 21, was a del
cided success, and far exceeded their
most sanguine expectations, both fi-
nancially and in point of beauty and
pleasure.
The parade, which has already been
[described in the Leader, was a credit
to the city, and the ladies of the
Civic Club most heartily extend their
thanks to all who entered vehicles
and floats and took such manifest
pains to make such an elegant dis-
play. This painstaking of so many,
and expenditure of time and money
proves that the club’s efforts arc ap-
preciated. Much of the success of
the parade and its being without an
accident was due to Dr A. R. Shol-
ars and Messrs. Sidney Hamlin and
Sol. White, and last hut not least,
Mr. B. A. Stephens, and thes^ gentle-
men have the thanks of the promo-
iters. So many were heard to remark,
We will be more in practice and
[can get up decorations for the next
flower parade”—so Orange will be
in line hereafter for others, tho’ it
will be hard to excel this one, which
everybody pronounced grand, from
the queen's float, so handsotbely dec-
orated in orange, white and green, the
club'i^, colors, wherein,, seated on a
royal throne, surrounded by her sub-
jects, was the queen, dispensing
smiles to the many who had assem-
bled to see the pageant—on down the
line of many superbly decorated ve-
hicles, unique and suggestive floats,
graceful horseback riders, automo-
biles wherein rode the beauty and
chivalry of many Orange homes, till
at the end of a king procession was
Mr. J. W. Link's tutomobile. in which ,
were thirty-one little boys, bright,
promising mortals that will dec-
orate the pages of Orange history
when all else of her first flower par-
ade la forgotten.
Promptly at nine o'clock, the royal
party descended the stairs of the
Holland hotel, to the rotunda and
dining hail, where had assembled an
immense crowd to witness the cor-
onation of the charming queen. First
the flower girls. Misses tbbie
TtimbU, Dor. and
Imota Link* strewing flowers in the
pathway of the queen, Miss Helen
Ortmeyer, and king, Mr. E. D. Bow
man—who were attended by pages,
Lutcher Brown, Wynne Pearce,
Ochiltree Bancroft and Leland Good-
man. The maid of honor, Miss Fan-
nie Brown, with Mr. Bill Labit, came
next, and were (followed by Misses
Helen Achenbach and Mr. Stewart
Burt, Miss Sadie Malone and Mr.
Harry Ortmeyer, Miss Belle Peveto
and Mr. Wataon, and Miss Mantie
Stewart and Mr. Robert 'Smith. Pro-
ceeding to the throne, the queen was
crowned and immediately to the thrill-
ing atrains of music, the grand march
was led by the honored pair, followed
by the royal party. After the march,
the dancing began in good fashion,
and till a late hour merriment reigned
supreme.
The costumes of the court ladies
were elegant, all being white, and es-
pecially so was the queen’s court dress
of white satin en train, with royal
purple robe; superbly and right queen-
ly did she wear the colors. Miss
Eula is already a social favorite of
the Gate City, numbering many
friends and admirers, who rejoiced to
do her homage on this occasion.
During the evening punch was serv-
ed by the ladies, Mrs. Geo. A. Fore-
man Jr.', presiding over the punch
bowl, and quite a neat sum was real-
ised.
To the Citizens’ Band, who dis-
coursed music throughout the even-
ing, many thanks are accorded, and
the Civic Club is most grateful to
the management of the Holland hotel
for courtesies and successful efforts
in making everybody feel at home,
and having a good time generally

Closi to My Hand."—
My mission is to do the work which
lies
Close to my hand today; not to
despise
Life’s little things, but patiently to
take
Each task my Father gives, and for
His sake,
With undivided afm and single eye.
Perform it faithfully; no) asking why
No higher path of service may be
mine,
Why only as a rushlight I may shine;
But seeking in all things His will to
see,
And leaving Him to choose my way
for me.
It may lie that my Lord will lead me
so
Through quiet, winding paths, with
footsteps slow.
To broader fields of toil, for which
His hand
Is training me today; He may have
planned,
If in the “least” my life His eye shall
please,
To bid me serve by greater deeds
than these.

Y. P. S. C. E —
The Endeavor meeting last Lord's
Day was led by Misses Oma Herring-
ton and Stella McCatighn, and an ex-
cellent program was rendered.
The topic was “Why We Observe]
the Lord’s Day"—this day above all
others which should be holy. When j
man can turn front material things,
and the vain pursuits of earth-life, ]
and find rest and peace in th Shadow
of His wing*. What a Messed priv-1
ilegc it is to lay the burden down for
one whole day. and give oneself en-1
tirely to God; to meet together in I
sweet communion with Him and
praise Him with "psalm and hymn
and spiritual songs, singing and mak-
ing melody in our hearts to the Lord,"
to be able to say with John “I was
in the Spirit on the Lord’* Day."
After all, it is the spirit we are in.
