reason to be proud Of the exhibition

several immense tables and all the
available wall space in the two big
rooms, and is the most elaborate and
finest thing of the kind ever attempt
ED here. The work represents all
grades from the kindergarten to the
high school, and every bit Of it is
creditable. Some of the free hand
work done by the little tots Is really
marvellous and the color work by the
older pupils would do credit to an ar
tist of experience. The penmanship
and general character of the written
work is source Of congratulation,
and proves that the essential ele-
,ments of educational work are keep.

But Was Lady Constance Mackenzie

Alice, Texas, Dec. 22.-The an
nouncement that Lady Constance
Mackenzie would arrive here on a
certain date led to an amusing mis-
take.
The telegram informing R. j. Kle
burg of the Santa Gertrude ranch, OF
Lady Mackenzie's proposed arrival
came from a northern Texas ranch
where she had been visiting. Mr.
Kleburg was absent and the boss OF
the ranch received the telegram.
The ranch boss is not up on titles
of nobility and he concluded that
Lady Mackenzie was fine, blooded
mare that Mr.. Kleburg was sending
so he telephoned a livery stable man
that Lady Mackenzie would arrive
andt hat, as she was high-bred ami
NAL, he would be expected to take
special care of her until she could be
forwarded to the Kfeburg ranch.
