The word originally was "la naua. Spanish fur "gift," but ultimately it was sottcned by the Creoles into 'lagniipps " The Creole and Spanish re tare n ftdoptid the practice- of making gitta with every aale, however HHlL TIM gift usually consisted of candy, caks or tobacco. The lagniappe- v,i- one of the chief perquisites ol the Miroslave ho did the purchasing or marketing for the family, and the grocer, buu:. r or other retailer who gave the largest lagniappe secured the best slave trade. With the negroes this gift oontlnue-Q a great institution throught all the daya of slavery. The white children a. so took to it. and in time- the practice of givlug lagniappe became so popular that ev cry dealer was compelled to give it or lost

trade.

Various attempts were made to gel j rid of lagniappe, but they all resulted disastrously ; nor could the dealers, even by combination, secure a release from their heavy burden Lagniappe had pre- j vailed for half a doz u generations, and j to ptTvade-d the whole life of the community that the people would not surrender it. The introduction in recent years cl r.' w forms of lagniappe. such as the tradIrg stamps, coupons, gifts, prizes, etc., j never eradicated the old system, and : nearly every grocery had on the counter j until a few days ago a half dozen glast Jars filled with candy, cakes, raisins ' nuts, etc.. frem which the purchaser could select such lagniappe as he pref. rred. The fall ofthat old institutiou is du to the labor unions. The satrtrau' 'races and labor council found lately that lagr.l:.ppe was proving injurious to union Interests. The iarge st lagt.iaape.

The labor council accordingly adoptee resolutions denouncing lagniappe and requesting the friends and members of irganizeil labor to refrain from encouraging the practice The resolutions have giver, the grocers and retailers the opportunity they have long been levoking for. and they dee Ided that no rneire lagnltppe should be given after January 1 All the stores now exhibit big slgrs notifying customers that lagniappe at d all similar gifts have been abolished So far the rusteimers have not been heard from, but it Is predicted that the edict will have to be withdrawn, at letsst for the French part of the city. the. people of which believe that they have been cheated unless they get their lagr.iapp as of old.
