Unlettered Men Best
at Coinage of Words
The best of all word makers are
the unlettered. Professor Gilder
sleeve said that the masses pwn the
language. Malherbe, the exquisite
Parisian poet and connoisseur of
words, frankly owned that his mas
ters of speech were the porters in
the Haymarket.
When Roosevelt was a ranch own
er and had been felling trees with his
men, he happened to overhear one of
them say, "Bill cut down fifty-three, I
cut forty-nine, and the boss he
beavered down seventeen.”
Roosevelt, who always enjoyed a
good Joke on himself, went on, “Those
who have ever seen the stump of a
tree gnawed down by a beaver will
understand the exact force of the
comparison.”
We have always needed a word for
mistake as applied to action, and the
Maine guide has coined it. When lie
runs his canoe upon a rock or chooses
a channel with Insufficient water, he
makes a “misgo.”
A homespun New England philos
opher in southern California coined
an excellent verb. He was arguing
that sterling qualities of heart are
rarer than those of head. “Oh, h —l,"
he exclaimed, “why, yen can just go
out and huckleberry for brains, but a
heart of gold Is as rare as a ding
maul.”

.Sea Horror Captured
After Long Struggle
We reached the pools at what we
thought was dead low tide, writes
William Be ?be in the Mentor Maga
zine, and made the most of every mo
ment. We hud been working about an
hour when I straightened up to ease
.in aching back. Almost at my side 1
saw what will be ever to me the
nost remarkable sight in the animal
world. Frightened by our long-con
.inued splashing and tramping, a bis
>ctopus had crept quietly out of a
revice just behind me and was mak
ing his way as rapidly as possible
over the seaweed shelf down to deep
water. Nothing animate is compar
able to this sight. The bulging mass
of the head or body, or both, the
round staring eyes, as perfect and ex
pressive as those of a mammal, and
the horrible absence of all other bod
ily parts which such an eyed creature
should have —nothing more but eight
horrid cup-covered, snaky tentacles,
reaching out in front, splaying side
ways and pushing behind, while one
or more always waved in the air in
the direction of suspected danger, as
if in some sort of infernal adieu. This
octopus was over two feet across. Jet
black when I first saw him, but turn
ing to a mottled gray when we en
gaged in our struggle. When I headed
him off he stood on defense and did
not retreat. After much feinting and
slipping and unpleasant pulling away
from the myriad suckers, I got tne
beast into a snake bag and tied it
irmly.
Name “Canada” Said to
Be of Spanish Origin
There is an interesting legend con
•erning the manner in which Canada
got its name. Spanish adventurers
were the first, so far as is known, to
visit the American shores in search of
booty. In the north they found the
country disappointing. The soil was
sterile and unyielding. The Spaniards
were heard by the natives to make fre
quent use of the expression “Aca,
nada,” meaning "It is barren.” It was
noted that after giving expression to
their dissatisfaction they invariably
departed to another pitfee!
When the French explorers arrived
on the scene, the inhabitants gathered
on the shore and yelled “Aca nada,”
hoping to drive them away. The
French took this to be the name of
the country, and they called it Can
ada.
The Spaniards also named Florida,
meaning Land of Flowers, and Vene
zuela, so called because of its resem
blance to Venice.
The Obstinate Man
An obstinate man does not hold
opinions, but they hold him; for
when he is once possessed with an er
ror, it is like a devil, only cast out
with great difficulty. He delights
most of all to differ In things differ
ent. He is resolved to understand no
man's reason but his own, because he
finds no man can understand his but
himself. His opinions are like plants
that grow upon rocks, that stick fast
though they have no rooting. The
more Inconsistent his views are, the
faster he holds them, otherwise they
would fall asunder of themselves, for
opinions that are false ought to be
held with more strictness than those
that are true, otherwise they will be
apt to betray their owners before they
are aware.—Butler.
Hardest-Worked Words
It is stated after a long series of ob
servations and tests that one-fourth
of our daily task of talking is ac
complished by the use of nine words,
the longest of which has but four let
ters. These nine are: and, be, have,
it, of, the, to, will, and you. It need
hardly be said that these simple words
are all pure English.
It is also asserted that these nine,
together with 34 additional words,
form a full half es the words we use
in conversation every day. The 34
additional Anglo-Saxon words alluded
to are: about, all, as, at, but, can,
come, day, dear, for, get, go, bear, her,
if, in, me, much, not, on, one, say, she,
so, that, these, they, this, though,

Divisions of the Zodiac
The zodiac is an imaginary belt ex
tending around the celestial sphere,
within which lie the orbits of the sun,
moon and planets. It extends eight
degrees on each side of the ecliptic,
or apparent path of the sun, and is
divided into twelve equal parts, each
one of which is marked by a constel
lation. The names of these are as
follows: Aries (the Ram), Taurus
(the Bull), Gemini (the Twins), Can
cer (the Crab). Leo (the Lion), Virgo
(the Virgin), Libra (the Balance),
Scorpio (the Scorpion), Sagittarius
(the Archer), Capricornus (the Goat),
Aquarius (the Water Bearer) and
Pisces (the Fishes). —Kansas City

Hard Road to Paradise
In the Mohammedan tradition the
Al Sirat is an Imaginary bridge be
tween this world and the next. It
extends over the abyss of hell, and
must be passed by all that would reach
the Mohammedan paradise. It is very
narrow, and has been likened by some
writers to the thread of a famished
spider, and by others to the edge of
a razor blade. In crossing, one's
speed is proportioned to one’s vjrtue.
Some pass with the rapidity of light
ning ; others more slowly; while the
wicked, on account of the weight of
their sins, are precipitated Into the
gulf below. —Kansas City Star.

Florida Real Estate
Man Talks Frankly
of Conditions There
(Atlanta Journal.)
A man without money who goes
to Florida to find a gold mine won’t
find the gold mine, but will come
back to Georgia poorer by the ex
pense of his trip and find that Geor
gia is a much better place to make
a living than the peninsula state,
Carl Dann, one of the biggest real
estate operators in Orlando, Fla., said
in an interview with The Journal
Wednesday.
“Florida is a great state and there
is a lot of money to be made by men
with money,” said Mr. Dann, “but
the man without money hasn’t got
a ghost of an chance to do anything
but lose what he has.
“There is a lot more money for a
man like that right here in Georgia,
with its great undeveloped farm
lands, the established businesses, and
the coming building ami business
boom that has got to hit Georgia.”
Mr. Dann said Georgia was leading
all states of the nation in the num
ber of people flocking into Florida.
Many of these, who are going down
after selling out here, taking their
wives and families and arriving in
Florida without more than just
enough to live en for a month or so,
are coming back. As a matter of
fact, he said, Georgia is also leading
the states of the union in the num
ber of people returning to their
homes.
Mr. Dann, who has developed
eighteen subdivisions in and around
Orlando, has been greatly impressed
with the situation in Georgia. He
believes that Georgia farmers could
raise truck and vegetables at a sea
son of the year when Florida, the
greatest trucking state of the union,
could be her greatest buyer.
“It has been largely the laboring
class of people that has suffered the
most by coming into Florida,” said
Mr. Dann. “They hear that they can
make 41.50 an hour in Florida, where
'ney c”'i make only ninety cents
here. Phey immediately pack up and
move to Florida. They don’t realize
that a state like ours, as fine as it
is, can’t take care of them and as a
result the cost of living is propor
tionately even higher than it is here.
As a result the laborers are suffering
severe losses.
‘‘This applies to carpenters, brick
masons and all branches of skilled
labor as well as to unskilled labor.
They can't help but lose. They
haven’t got a chance not to.
“This may sound funny,” he said
parenthetically, “coming from a real

estate man, whose living comes from
the influx of people into the state
and the continued growth of the
entire state. But, I. believe in every
man knowing the truth and I don’t
believe any of the honest business
men of Florida want to see these
men come to Florida and spend their
all, coming back home in a worse
condition than when they left.
"If they stay at home and expend
the right sort of energy on Georgia,
waiting for the boom that is even
now on its way, they can profit to
a far greater extent.”
Mr. Dann was in Atlanta Wednes
day visiting with A. P. Phillips, an
old friend. He expected to be here
through the remainder of the week
and return to Florida Saturday or
Sunday, he said.
