A new international question has
been raised by recent antics Of the Rio
Grande river in changing its course.
The river formerly flowed within a few
yards of Fort Ringgold. Texas, but has
forsaken its old channel and made a
new one mile southeast, entirely in
Mexican territory. A treaty with
Mexico. made in 1854. provides that
the abandonment Of an existing bed by
the river and the formation OF q new
one shall not effect a change OF the
boundary. But as Fort Ringgold de-
pended entirely on the Rio Grande for
its water supply. and as the United
States requires a military post there,
the matter has been referred to the in
ternational boundary commission for
settlement.

Pleasure and the pursuit of 1t are
not the first things inculcted in young
minds among American farming peo-

for the duties that have been well done.
This placing Of duty first is the great
disciplinary advantage in the training
that country boys receive. The coun-

ty nearly everything q country. boy
encounters day by day hasa tendency
toward the development of Z healthy
and wholesome Individuality. There Is
a deal of regular work that every coun-
try boy must do. This work, pretty

industrious and regular habits, while 1t
contributes to physical development

as those trained by a system; he may

from which we get so much Of pleas

to buckle down to the hard work In
which hours are consumed and from
which very little II any immediate

| the most notable oyations of the day
occurred. Constructed along the east
ern border of the boulevard, extending
for many blocks down town, were I'M
mense reviewing stands. From an
early hour the stands had been JAM
med with humanity. Rlverside PARK,
across the boulevard, held another
mighty mass. The arrival OF Dewey
was the signal for n tremendous out
burst.
1t was 11:17 when Grand Marshal
Roe gave the order to march.
Then the great column swung into
order and the triumphal trip to wash
ington Square began. Scores or bands
scattered along the line filled the air
with inspiring music.
In the parade were Sousas band,
battalions of sailors many OF the nigh
officers of the army and navy and To-
600 members of the New YORK Nation.
nj Guard, battalions and regiments
from adjoining states led by their gov
ernOrs, Governor Roosevelt and stan,
and great number Of public ofncials.
Following came long line OF war
veterans, ending with veterans OF the
Spanish-American war under General
Warren Kiefer. sa
Dewcy's progress was one continuous
ovation. Smiling and happy, he re
sponded to plaudits by wave Of hand,
bow or by raising his hat. Governor
Roosevelt and Rear Admiral Schley
were also generously greeted.
The route of the parade was seven
miles in length. 1t started Mt One
