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.” Feminine styles change and change. Only the habit of cussing them re mains fixed.—Rochester Times - Un ion. .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, time, we, with, write, and your. 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 Star. 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.

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 CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our many friends and neighbors and also Dr. Jenkins for their; kindfieea and; Leva shown.us during the sickness and death of our dear husband and fath er. May God's richest blessings rest upon each and every one. MRS. B. A. TEASLEY and Children. o Vraic, a brown seaweed which grows in Japan, is rich in potash and makes an excellent fertilizer. 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.
