If you are poetical June gets its name from the queenly Tatin 3 goddess Juno. i If you are fussy and bookwormy it is June becauso in the Roman calendar it was dedicated “na Junioribue”—that is, to the junior or inferior branch of the original legislature of Rome. The Romans believed it “the most propitious season of the year for contracting matrimonial engagements.” ‘ i The moderns regard it as the least unlucky month to get mar- 1 ried in. But June’s brightest glory is its weather. Perhaps the truest thing ever said of it in these parts is that “June is in reality what the poete only dream May to be,” sachinatinisnivandniplylieeinenaniamnmsie BE NICE TO THE NEIGHBORS. N International Committee of Peace and Friendship has just been formed in Mexico City through the efforts of Lawycr i Heriberto Barron, Mexican Commercial Agent in New. York and former member of the Mexican Congress. This committee, ; which is composed of twenty prominent Mexicans and representative Americans of the Mexican capital, will consider ways and means to n increase friendliness and mutual understanding between the Unitod é States and Mexico. In his announcement of the committee’s purpose Mr. Barron Jays special stress on the desirability in the present crisis in his coun- try of destroying the bogy of intervention by strengthening the con- fidence of the Mexicans in the will of this country. Exchange of lecturers and college students and excursions of Mexican newspaper men to the United States would, in Mr. Barron’s view, do much to clear up any doubt and distrust that may have gath- ered as to the real relations of the two countries. 3 The idea has the marks of common eense. Anything that will encourage the knowledge and broader outlook, which are the surest antidotes to the pernicious poison of jingoism and jealousy that cer- tain quack patriots are forever dispensing, is bound to be a good thing. After all, in the small affaire of life experience hus taught every man that it’s the best plan in the long run to be on good terms by with the neighbors next door, hy Why shouldn’t it be the eame with nations? : ————__-++--___—_ WHERE MERCY MISCARRIES. spectacle of a street car rowdy, a married man, weeping in the dock when threatened with six months in the workhousa, while his poor wife and even one of thove whom he had in- sulted the judge to show mercy because she must go penniless % if he werégiven his deserts, makes one almost regret the tar barrel ; end the whipping-post. , The man in question was doubly contemptible because when be grossly insulted a Jewish girl in a Long Island train he did so ; against the protests of his own wife who est beside him. » » The Night Court Magistrate hit it right when he said: “You qre 8 dirty loafer and I em going to send you to the workhouse for Yet the wife protested that she would have no one to support 4 her, and even the male companion of the insulted girl, who had al- ready thrashed the scoundrel, at last interceded for him, The Magistrete put him under bonds for six months. ‘The fellow had a chance to escape what he deserved, thanks to those he hed wronged.
