There were but two French kings who ever ruled over Missouri, observes the Knnsns City Star. The first of these was Louis XIV, for whom La Salle took possession of the Missis sippi river and of all the country drained by Its tributaries. Ln Snllc named the country Louisiana In honor of his king. For governmental pur poses the whole of Lonlslnnn was at tached to new France and Frontennc becume the first governor, ruling over the largest domain ever under tho swny of one man on this continent. France owned the central part of tho continent from the Gulf to the pnlnr seas. Thus Frontennc became the first governor of the region that is now Missouri. But it was ln the reign of Louis XV, who succeeded Louis XIV, that Mis souri received from France the first vivifying touches of civilization. Un der this reign the city of St. Louis was founded and was named, not In honor of Louis XV, who was no snlnt, but In honor of Louis IX, who thpn bad been dead 500 years, and who was the most saintly king France ever rind. New Orleans was founded, too, dur ing the reign of Louis XV, nnd was named for the duke of Orleans, re gent for the young king, who was crowned at five venrs old. Joseph li. Greener MUS. BAG.
