Monticello, the once proud capital of
the great State OF Mississippi, has been
raised to the dignity of a town, Cover
nor Vardaman having just issued his
proclamation to that effect. Monticello
was once the most important point in
the State, before the days of the rail-
roads, and there much of Mississippi's
history was made, but the locomotive
relegated it to backwoods town, but
now that at last road has reached that
place, the same agency, it would appear
is destined to again give it standing
among the States most progressive
municipalities.

heartrendlng part OF the ceremony
the last long. fond look at the faSe
OF the dear little one Almost all the
large audience filed past the bier and
gazed into the placid land still fea-
lures OF one who but few short days
ago had been in the very spring IF
life. and was enjoying the vigors of
youth. Many were the tears that
were shed over that little white coffin,
but bitterest were those of the be-
reaved father and mother. AS the as
semblage filed past the casket the
choir sang, Nearer My God to Thee. ,
The pall-bearers, who were Micha FL
Noonan. j. W. Whitford, P. G. Miller
and Martin Gulseth. bore the remains
from the church. from where they
were conveyed to the Catholic ceme-
etery, where interment was made.
'Ope pathetic incident of the funeral
was:the fact that the little pupils of
the third grade. OF which Frances was
a member: were present in body.
The dead child was accounted one CT
the brightest of these pupils, and had
eudeared herself in the hearts of botn
teacher and pupils. Many of the lit
tie ones cried bitterly as they left the
church.
Those present at the funeral from
outside the city we're: Rev. Mother

Long before the appointed hour, 10
o'clock in the morning. St. Patrick's

friends OF the deceased, who had
come TO pay their last respects to her
memory, and by the time the funeral
cortege arrived the edifice was well
hlled. When the services began there
was not an empty seat in the little
church
When the little white velvet casket,
profusely covered with beautiful flow
ers and floral designs. was borne up
the aisle followed by the sorrowing
mourners, the pathos Of the scene m
delibly impressed itself on the minds
of the onlookers and brought the
thought forcibly before them that the

Father Augustine, pastor of the
church. Requiem Mass Of the dead is
never sung in the Catholic church at
the funeral of child. it being the be-
lief Of that sect that the soul goes

white vestments were donned. white
candles used and the regular High
Mass sung. The choir sang Con-
cones Mass in F, and at the offertory,

timely and most appropriate. Gods

Power of the Waves

Inc power Of waves. says NJ Brou-
MIN In La Nature, Is the sum of two ef-
forts. one dynamic and due to the or
oital movement Of the water particles,
the other static and dependent on the
height of the center Of gravity Of the
mass raised above it's normal position.
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power Of waves is divid-
ed equally between these static and
dynamic effects. If body Of water
meets the wall Of a structure there is a
shock. and this is most violent at the
water surface, diminishing with the
depth. At the moment Of meeting jets
of water rise sometimes to very great
heights
