night were embodied in a protocol
which was signed by the South
American mediatoFs and the Ameri-
can and Huerta delegates.
The character of the settlement
is not expected to arouse opposition
from the Constituencies, who will
participate in and to large degree
mold the adjustment of all internal
disputes.
When a new provisional govern
ment is established to succeed that
of Gen. Huerta the results of media
tion will have become effective.
The actual selection of provision
al president and the organization of
the new government will be left to
an informal conference of represen-
tatives of the Constitutionalists and
the delegates sent by Gen. Huerta to
the mediation conference.
No formal adjournment of the
mediation conference will be taken
but there will be no sessions while
the representatives OF the two war
ring factions in Mexico endeavor to
arrive at an agreeemnt and the per-
sonnel of the new government.
The protocol as formulated today
sets forth:
That the United States and Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile-the
mediation couhtries-shall recog-
nize the new provisional govern
ment and that henceforth diplomat
&c relations between the United
States and Mexico shall be resumed,
That the United States demands
no indemnity and does not further
exac: satisfaction for any of the in
cidents connected with its patrol Of
| Mexican waters and the invasion
of the country.
That q commission shall be ap-
pointed to adjust private claims

Washin gton. June 24.-1Despite
many conflicting reports concerning
the mission to Washington OF rep
sentatives of the Mexican Constitu-
tionalists On route here, II was as
serted tonight in official quarters
here that there is every expectation
that the agents of Gen. Carranza
will accept the invitation of the
American commissioners at Niagara
Falls to participate in informal ne
gotiations relative to the pacitica-
ton of Mexico
While the administration leaders
would not discuss the situation it
was learned that plans for partici-
patton by the Constitutonalists in
the informal conference are pro-
ceeding as originally outlined before
the invitation was extended and
agreed to by the South American
envoy.
The battle of Zacatecas was said
to be an important factor in the
present outlook, however. Huertas
dwindling hopes are ended, since
villa and the allied forces routed
the Federals there.

ADDRESS,.

Dear Readers: We greet you. Through
this paper we wish to come more closely
in touch with you, our friends, out in
life's school, and to present to you true
picture of our school life. The purpose
Of this journal, which is published by
the Juniors, is to give direction to our
literary efforts, and to impress you with
the spirit of enthusiasm which inspires
us in our work.
1t is our earnest hope, and belief, that
our school mates are making such efforts,
that l9l4-l5 will be the most profitable
year in the history of the school. The
spirit of work has entered here-teachers
and students alike. Each seems ashamed
to catch himself idle.
With such corps of workers and d.
rectors, what Is there to prevent success?
To have no ambition or longing to be
superior workman is the curse of far
too many lives. There is every reason
for the one who daily stands before child
rem to have the highest of ideals. This
is part Of the compensation of teaching,
and should in no wise be neglected in
counting the rewards OF the teachers.

about three miles from my home. Meth
er OF us had ever been in that part of the
woods, but We thought we would be able
to tell the direction home when we were
ready to come out.
We decided to 20 early Saturday morn
ing. When the time came to start we
caught our horses, and after hasty
lunch, started out for the lake. We road
as close to the lake as possible without
getting our horses in the marsh, then
hitched them to tree and walked out
into the lake few yards.
We had no luck in finding ducks, 60
after few hours we became disguised
and started back TO oar horses, deter.
mined to return home and spend the day
doing something more exciting.
After going many tribes the distance
and becoming thoroughly sworn out we
realized that We had faiEudged the place
and distance to the hitching place, and
had been travelling in acircle..
1t became very dark, and to add to our
distress slow rain Get in. After short
rest We again began our weary journey.
Our steps went further into the lake and
ducks began flying around our heads.
We were too frightened to shoot at any of
them. 1t grew darker still, and night
seemed closing around us Our fright In
creased until we were frantic. At last we
came to fallen tree, and if remember
correctly both OF us knelt down and said
short prayer. u
Our courage returned and we arose and
began our search tor a way out OF the d.
lena. After walking longlway we dis
covered the cause of the darkness to be
the thick growth in the woods, and that
the growth grew firmer as we went on. I
Finally We reached an opening in the
trees and just ahead of us were. our horses,
Neither of US lost any time in getting to |
them, and riding home. Wheu,we looked |
at the clock we found it was only | |
o'clock, and were just in time for dinner. |
We have decided not to 20 into that
lake again for ducks without a guide. |

experts, there can be no doubt that
oil in large quantities will be found
in this parish. It is, therefore, to be
hoped that the gentlemen who are
organizing the Oil Company will be
successful in getting the necessary
money subscribed to begin sinking

here will add greatly to the value

the LOST CHILD.

One day last spring, -aboht the middle
OF April-a party of us went for walk
in the woods. We were having such a
merry time that we did not realize how
Tar we were going, nor how long we had
been gone until it grew dark. Then our
predicament filled US with alarm. 1t was
impossible to get out of the woods before
night, go We prepared to stay there until
day
We gathered up few sticks and made
fire. We gathered around its cheerful
blaze and told stories until the sand man
came. The boys generously gave the girle
their coats to rest their heads upon and
soon quiet fell upon the sleepy crowd.
The fire Aickered and died down. The
noises of the night were hushed and still,
when l heard the most uncanny sound
Imaginable. raised my head and dis
covered something moving in the bushes.
We were terribly alarmed. One of the
boys gathered courage to look in the un.
derbrush. and there lay child tied to u
stump, but struggling to get free.
Tom lifted the child and brought him
over to the fire. We could see marks Of
neglect on the poor little fellow. His hair
which had been golden curls was matted
and tangled. Tied to his left arm was
note containing the following: 'Thie
child was put here by his mother. A band
OF savages is near. pray who finds my
darling may befriend him.'s
This 80 alarmed ms that the boys urged
us to try with them to find our way home.
We took the little child with us. /

On entering the school for the first
time i'm three months every pupil was de-
lighted with the practically new building.
During the summer months several new
rooms were added and the partitions in
some of the rooms extended back, max
ing them larger. The building was paint
ed inside and out and quite number of
repairs made. The whole building echoed
with joy as the pupils hurried from room
to room noting the improvements and
conveniences. The happy, beaming faces
seemed to make the sun shine with all
its brilliancy. The memories Of the past,
which had faded away into the darkness
OF the night, were again renewed.
