Several of the citizens of the

they ought to have gone to the
City Dads-to see about having
the grass cut in the Piersol
Park. AS a matter of fact if
the parks are for the beauty

grass ought to be kept cut so
one will not find it knee high

deserves the same punishment
which would be melted ont to
her if she were a man. 'Tis
folly to talk OF it being a dis

Commencement

The Commencement Exercises
of the Holy Rosary school at
the opera house Tuesday night
was one of the best and most
delightful in the history of the
school.
The program was a jewel
ard carried through in such
manner that it proved the SIS.
tiers to be artists in the line of
preparation and drilling.
The students were greeted
with a packed house and the
house was really paid for their
long sitting.
Rev. Frs. j. Lyons, of ST.
Louis, Ernest, OF St. Paul and
II. G.. Adrain, of Shelbina were
present, while Rev. FIR. T. Null
len master of ceremonies, saw
that everything ran as smooth
as an eight day clock.
Rev. FIR. Adrian delivered an
interesting address 10 the grad
yates, Misses Elizabeth Boar
man, Gertrude Mauteau and
Joseph Little.
Mr.. Little is the first gentle
man to graduate from the
school and his schoolmates say:
Joe will continue his work with
the priesthood in view.
The Sisters deserve uustiut-
ed praise for building up the
school as they have and for the
valuable training as we'll as ed
ucation, they are giving the
youth of the Parish.

the fond if sad memories did
not go by default, by any
means.
At the head Of each grave
containing a Blue or Il Gray the
stars and bars was planted,
here to wave until the elements
destroyed them.
Hundreds of baskets of flow
ers were taken to the beautiful
city Of the loved ones gone be-
fore and as tokens OF love, tok.
ems of the tender ties of the
past and yet binding through
all eternity, were placed upon
the graves. Az it was there
the tears were quietly shed,
while the beautiful tender
smile like that of the rainbow
OF promise assured one that
there was a future, a meeting,
greeting in the other side,
where tears will be forever
banished and the smile will
last through all eternity.

HOW MEXICO Is LEERN.hiG.
School Teachers Sent to the United
States to Acquire the Engli-h
Language.

The study of English is compulsory
in the Mexican public schools. Ever"
year Mexico sends to the United
States a number of school teachers
to study American pedagogic methods.
says the Review of Reviews. A great
many Mexican children are being
educated in the schools and colleges
of this country, where formerly they
were ser to Europe. The numbe.
of Mexican visitors to the United
States and the number of American
visitors to Mexico is increasing every
year. 1t is said that Yucatecans know
New York better than the City Oh
Mexico, and That west-coast MeXicans
are more at home in San Francisco
than in their own capital city. Thus
each year the American way of iiv
ing is taking a deeper hold on the Mex.
lean people.
The vice president of Mexico anG
announced successor of President Diaz
is very much Americanized in his
ideas. In fact, he might easily be
mistaken for a plain, shrewd Amer
lean business MAI from his appear
ance, manner and methods, He has
al ways been exceedingly friendly to,
ward Americans. As governor OF the
state of Sonora, he encouraged them
to invest in enterprises in his state
and to settle therein. Ho spared no
effort in seeing thai their lives, prop.
erty and civil rights were protected.
He is well informed about the United
States. and is a student of English.
He has three daughters in school al
