Mexico for the purpose of erecting a

ing the fact that the Mexican forces
were defeated, their defense against
superior numbers was so gallant that
the anniversary Of the battle Of the

A brusque American once asked
Diaz, why do you Mexicans celebrate
a defeat when you know that the
French took PueblaY"
President Diaz, with q twinkle In his

colonists at Bunker Hill, and yet you

The Talmud says there are four
kinds Of pupils-the sponge and the
funnel. the strainer and the sieve. The
sponge is he who taketh up every
thing, and the funnel is he who taketh
in at this ear and letteth out at that;
the strainer is he that letteth go the
wine and retaineth the dross, and the
sieve is he that letteth go the bran and
retaineth the fine -four. The student
who begins at least to wish to belong
to the last named class will not have
