B#toh' Rouge, La.--Back 1* the Eighteenth century when Louisiana was a mysterious region of swamps anfl bayous and forests, a young man made love to a girl who lived along thle Mississippi. * She would not marry because she was too poor to bring hiiti a dowry. But to his death at the ape of eightyfour he remained faithful to her memory. And his will provided that the Interest from $35,000 should be divided annually among the worthy brides of his loved one's home town as dowisrr money. Recently the police jury, wliieli corresponds to the county supervisors or commissioners in other states, of West Baton House parish alloted close to S200 each to 13 girls who married within the last year. " 1L • Came From Brittany^ It was their dowry, a gift from Julien Poydras, a boy from Nantes. Brittany. who came to this country In 1768 after colorful years before the mast. He peddled odds and ends up and down the Mississippi. He lived a simple life, and he worked hard. Not strange, then, that by 1800 he owned a hundred slaves and five plantations in the parishes of West Baton Rouge and I'ointe Coupee. Honors, too. came to this adventur-^ ous Breton. He was the president of the first legislative council of Louisiana territory. From 1809 to 1812 he was a delegate to congress.: He was president of the constitutional convention that opened in New Orleans on November 4, 1811. When Louisiana was admitted to the Union, he served as president of the ftate senate. ~ T Will Frees Slaves. . The will of Julien Poydras ordered that all of his slaves be freed within 2r. years, and it gave money to schools, hospitals and charitable organizations. But the bequest best remembered is the dower money. For 100 years It has meant added happiness for the girls la the parish across the Mississippi from the capital city. To them Julten Poydras was more than a great Loulsianian--he was a man who appreciated the pangs of a girl who must come dowerleat to her husband.

The crop for the past season amounted to 8,667,460 bags, which is hardly a factor In the world coffee market, but which was made the basis of the contention for a duty on coffee sought during the last year in Washington. Because of the comparative smallness of the crop, Hawaiian coffee marketing is still mostly local and to markets bordering the Pacific coast Growers are ambitious for expansion, however, confident In the quality of their product. There are now approximately 1,200 planters in Kona, almost all on small holdings of a few acres. JAMES MORROW & SON, West McHenry, HI. Podge Bros.

Lee, an American tourist in France, In a letter to the editor of the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune, tells of attending a snake feast near Nice. Lee was in the Alpes Martlmes and during a walk killed two small constrictors. He asked a peasant If he wanted the snakes, and the peasant readily took them, skinned them, cut them up Into small pieces and put them In a pot to boll. Lee declares he refused to join in the meal. According to good authority the peasants near Rennes, In Brittany, consider boiled constrictors, which are very much like American garter snakes, as a tit-bit Just as grasshoppers are In Algeria.

The education of our neighbors was pretty limited. Even the teachors who presided over tha district s c h o c 1 which I attended had seldom been farther in the pursuit of knowledge than the training afforded fey. the eighth grade. One teacher I recall bad had a year or two of reslidence in an academy of mediocre grade, but he was an exception. The best-educated man in our community, so far as formal training was concerned, was McManip. He accepted no definite religious faith, but was, in fact, distinctly agnostic in his beliefs. He married when approaching forty ftQd had a large family of children. Ihe two things that interested me in the bringing up of bis children was first that he tried from the outset to inculcate in them very distinct and orthodox religious faith, and second that, although he was abundantly able to do so, he gave none of them an education beyond the elementary training which wag afforded by the rural gChools. . Ml want wy children happy," he et« plained, "and religion^ gives one a certain stability in this world and a definite assurance for the next. It is a stability and an assurance Which 1 do npt myself enjoy. Even if it is all hokum, I should rather they believed It and were happy than to live in the uncertain state of mind which I am in." It wasn't truth he was after, it waa happiness. "As to education," be said, "the less you know, the happier you are. Knowledge makes men dissatisfied, discontented." Here was a man widely read, well trained, well grounded in the principles of the church, but he had no faith, he had seen no vision as new Ideas and new worlds opened up to him. To him knowledge was not power, nor religion an inspiration. {£,«£). 1928, Western Newspaper Union.)
