A MAGAZINE IN MANY TONGUES.
Unique Publication That VIII Make
Good Citizens of FOREIGNERS.

Unique Publication That VIII Make
Good Citizens of Foreigners.
1t is announced that st. Louis will
soon have magazine printed in IL
different languages and it will be the
only publication of the kind in the
world. The idea originated with Will
liam Borsodi, who, in connection with
Alexander Konta, will publish q
separate magazine for each nation
atty in their native tongue, but the
contents of each will differ but little.
The home Office Of this company will be
in st. Louis. The promoters of this en-
tcrprise have in view quick way of
making foreigners understand the Gus
toms of the United States, and they
think that this method will cause immi-
grants to rapidly assimilate with the
and correct many erroneous
ideas entertained by both. They pro-
pose to print such articles as will tend
to teach those unable to speak the Eng
lish language the advantages of the
American institutions and just what
good citizenship means to them in the
future.

old son of Orrin ". Wan received fatal
injuries. Young Watt was one of a
dozen lads who organized the exhibit

knowledge of the youngsters parents.
On the date set for the contest a
crowd of boys and girls took seats on
the fence surrounding pasture into
which the youthful toreadors had
driven a vicious COW belonging to Mr..
Small. From the first the struggle was
an exciting one. After several boys
had been tossed by the maddened ami
NAL, Watt approached with pitchforf
to administer the coup de grace. His
foot slipped as the COW rushed toward
him and, before he could recover him
self, he was frightfully gored.
