THAT SPELLING BEE.

When you are in Rome you must do as the
Romans do" The mistake the New Orleans
school children made was in going to Rome.
We believe had the spelling match been con-
Quoted under less embarrassing conditions New
Orleans would have won the prize. The excit-
ing incidents of the caucus preceding the spell
ing match, and the determination to go on with
the program regardless of the fact that they
were competing under conditions that would
have been impossible in New Orleans,
must have been particularly trying to any
one of a nervous, sensitive temperament, and
not conducive to the highest degree of excel
lence in any undertaking. In making selections
for competitive trial of proficiency in spelling
from a large body of pupils, it rarely happens
that the difference in excellence Of those chosen
affords much Of margin for choice. The Sc
lected pupils ordinarily should have been very
nearly equally qualified, and it would probably
have been difficult task for those who made
the selection to predict which would make the
best record. But the contest showed a great
and unnatural difference for five of the class of
fifteen missed but one word each, while the
other ten missed between them sixty-one words.
This shows that the constitutional difference
susceptibility to disorganizing influences
probably responsible for defeat that under diff
ferent circumstances would have been victory.
The percentage of difference in excellence be-
tween five and ten of the New Orleans class is
far in excess of the difference between the
classes of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Erie and New
Orleans the number of words missed in rota-
ton being: 38, Az, 66, IS.

SUPPORT YOUR HOME INDUSTRIES.

We have repeatedly urged the necessity OF es-

brought the work up to an efficiency that classes
1t with the best work done in New Orleans.
The difficulty of getting washing done has al
ways been cause of complaint in Covington,
and now that an opportunity is offered it should
be taken advantage of, and the new laundry
should be given every encouragement, both in
way OF patronage and commentator for it's ef-
forts to please. Don't send your laundry to
town, when you can have it done as we'll and as
cheaply at home. Remember that your home
laundry will become more and more in touch
with your demands and will give you better and
better service as the years go by; but if it was
to go out Of business tomorrow, the lack of
competition would place you at the mercy of
the, New Orleans laundries and agents, who
could then charge you higher rates and give you
less consideration. AS long as we have a laun-
dry here, New Orleans laundries will offer you
every inducement to secure your trade, but rest
assured that as soon as your home laundry is
driven out of business you will have to make up
the difference 1t is the history Of competitive
trade. Do all you can to encourage your home
industries, for you are thereby working for your
own interest

St. Peters ParOChial
School

Last Friday, June 26, st.
Peters Parochial School closed
an unusually successful year,
the enrolment reaching eighty,
almost double that of the past
few years.
The closing exercises were
witnessed by quite a number OF
patrons and friends. The pro-
gram consisted of songs, decla-
nations and drills. The pupils
acquitted themselves of every
number on the progam in very
creditable manner.
The drawing and class work
of the school we're exhibited,
which gave evidence Of the in
dustry and intelligence of the
pupils. The manner in which
everything was conducted was
a proof of the order and discip-
pline that had reigned supreme
throughout the scholastic year.
After the exercises were over
Rev. Father Koegerl addressed
a few encouraging remarks to
the pupils and expressed his en-
tire satisfaction at the progress
of the school. He then pre-
sented each pupil with a hand
some premium book, as a little
reward for his diligence.
Cool lemonade and delicious
cake were served to each and
every one before they departed
with best wishes for the future
growth of ST. Peters School.
The following program was
| we'll rendered:
Motion Song-All the pupils of the
school.
Address-Ed Barlow.
The Holiday, song and chorus-All
the pulls of the school.

Power of Plants.

Farmers are we'll acquainted with the fact that the roots of trees will disrupt and sometimes overturn n stone wall, but the lifting power of tender vegetables Is equally surprising.
 The one result which has perhaps attracted the greatest attention is the discovery that weight of two and a half tons can be lifted by the common pumpkin in the course of its develop ment.
 Dr. Carpenter relates the story of q paving stone weighing eighty-three pounds that was raised from its bed (when joined by others on all four sides) by such soft piece of fungi as the common mushroom. And still an. other and more remarkable story is added to the above.
 A man had cask of sweet wine and placed 1t in an empty cellar to mature. When examined several years later It had risen from the floor of the cellar to the ceiling, having been borne up- ward upon the tender shoots of a vine fungus with which the cellar was filled.-London Home Notes.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE IRIS.

The new bill put on at the Iris last night is what is technically called a "sitter up.' From the time the first film begins to unwind until the last has been wound up, everybody in the house is sitting up and taking notice And 1t is worth it-possibly the best bill that has ever been seen in this popular playhouse.
 There are. two big features, "An In dian $ Gratitude" showing some of the most beautiful mountain scenes conceiv able, together with an exceedingly in teresting love story in which the h. dian helps to save life and to bring two fond hearts together, and "Tales the Searchlight Told,' one of the most wonderful films ever exhibited any. where. This film is actually bringing Coney Island and "Little Old New York; right into Globe. It shows the marvellous amusement park of America just as it is seen from the top of the observatory, and the beauty of the pie lures showing the electric illuminations baffies description. The pranks of the man with the searchlight and the old farmer bring in all sorts of fun.
 "The Tale the Boots Told is what might be called romantic comic, tell ing in fetching style striking story of love and-er, well, of love and more boots.
 The illustrated songs, "Those Songs My Mother Used to Sing" and "Some- body That I Know and You Know, Too," are cleverly pretty and admira- ply rendered.
 It's wonder bill all the way through.

Then they had sore throat, wrapped piece of fat pork in an old sock. tied 1t around the neck at night and went to work the next morning. Now they have ton silitis, surgical operation and two weeks in the house. Then they had stomach ache and took castor oil and recovered. Now they have appendici- tis, week in the hospital and six feet due east and west and six feet perpen- dlcular. They worked then; they labor now. In those days they wore under clothes; now they wear lingerie. Then they wen; to restaurant; now they go to cafe. Then they broke leg: now they fracture a limb.

It was at the funeral of man who had Jeff his young and attractive help meet widow for the third time At the time of his death their clergyman was away on a European trip, and in this emergency the Rev. Dr. Blank was called upon.
 A neighbor instructed him hastily as to the admirable qualities of the deceased his benevolence, piety and kind disposition, and gave him vari- ous points as to his family relations During the funeral discourse no out sider would have suspected that the clergyman had not been a lifelong friend of the dead man. When, how ever, he came to mention the widow in his prayer, it was evident that his data in regard to her had become a trif1e confused. He said:
 And now we commend to thy care this widowed handmaid, who has been bereaved again and again and again Then hesitating an instant, he added: And perhaps again"
