How 1t Happened.

The cardinal causes of Rojest.
.venskY's defeat have been the sub
iect Of general discussion. One
Japanese expert gives the following
Analysis:
"First-An imperfect reconnols-
sance and incomplete, faulty and
misleading intelligence.
"Second-An imperfect battle
formation, which indicated that
Rojestvensky did not expect to
meet Togo off Tsushima.
"rhird-The weather, the direc-
ton OF the wind and sunlight were
anfavorable to the Russians, Togo
having the sun behind him and
firing with the wind, while the
Russians had the sunlight in their
eyes and fred against the wind.
'sFourth-The Russians wasted
their ammunition. and eventually
ran short. It is believed that the
surrender of Nebogatotf was neces-
sary because his ammunition had
been expended.
Fifth-The marked lnferiority
of the Russian gunners.

Pearl River Items

Editor St. Tammany FARMER:
i The public school of Pearl River viii
close on the sixteenth instant. The
Misses Simpson have been indefatig
able in their efforts to advance the
scholars and they on their part seem
anxious to do we'll and are rejecting
credit on their teachers and parents as
well as themselves in their laudable am
bition to do their very best on every oc-
casion. The scholars of this school
will compare favorably with any other
country school. One that was in the
school few terms ago is already pub
lie school teacher. Three boys have
begun college course and others are
in fine schools, and the world may some
day hear of these boys and girls who
took their first steps upl the ladder of
knowledge at the Pearl River public
school. High up above the school
houses, on the Flag, Staff floats the
glorious Stars and Stripes Of Old Glory.
High up in the air rings the school bell.
High in the temple of fame there are
inches that may some day have the names
OF some of these boys and girls carved
upon them to commemorate some noble
deed for their country's good.
This hope should inspire every girl
and boy to do their very best and never
know there was lever such a word in
their vocabulary as fail.
The "yellow peril'' indeed! Who need
fear this Jack-o. Lantern idea when the
public schools OF our great country are
sending o1t such noble army of boys
and girls to defend their country's glory
with its ever widening opportunities and
it's expanding influences.
In the closing exercises of our school
''The Pearl River Sunshine Branch
will give an entertainment. The pro-
gram will consist of music and recita-
tions by the scholars and members OF
that society, on the 10th instant. Re-
freshments will be served, the proceeds
of which will be sent to the "SunshiDe
Cottage" to furnish room in that
s'Sweet Home" for some poor, tired
shut-in tofind a blessed ray OF sunshine,
where the night seems dark and
they are far from home. This is most
lovely and laudable work, and all who
are interested and the public generally
are cordially invited. The girls will
have several tables of mysterious sur
prises as we'll as ominous foretelling OF
events that cast their shadows before
Come one, come two, come all.
