“What’s in a Name? 1 ’
By MILDRED MARSHALL
tacts about your name; Its history, mean
mg, whence it was derived; significance!
ik- vGut lucky day and lucky Jewel
1.0 IS
L' ulS is really a masculine name.
It means "famous war” and
, nines from the Teutonic nomenclature or] j
through the Karting romances. Lois
Lois, as U is sometimes spelled, is J
really Louis.
The French king whom tire j
French knew as Louis de Dr
fionnaire was originally caller} Lludtti
rus. The Provencal promptly soft |
rtied (he name to Aloys, but so popu !
lar did Louis become that no member J
c.f the French royal family was ehrist j
Hied without it. Finally the soli
Aloys a; lined favor throughout
France, and tiie “a” was dropped, pro¬
ducing the musical Leys. The Bte
tor. were already using the name of
Loiz so lire "Y” in Loys reWined disappeared
and Lcis appeared and per
raanent.
Loys was the oDly form of the
innumerable versions of Louis that be
came applied as a feminine' name.
Spain’s Lois has never wavered from
its masculine interpretation, nor lias i
the I.tiiz of Portugal. France formed ;
an IIeloi.se from Lois and Louise
might possibly be called an equivalent
for Lots if it were not for that strain
of Provencal.
Lois has been given in baptism gen¬
erally as a name of sentiment, it is !
a trille difficult to pronounce but i j
mdoubtedly beautiful and extraonh ;
nnrily popular in this country.
The tnlisiuanic gem assigned to Loi-t
is Hie onyx. It should be worn with!
• are as it is inclined to cool affection, !
provoke discord and separate lover j
hut worn by Lois it prevents these
very misfortunes. Monday is her lucky
day and 4 her lucky number.

THE CENSUS.
virHILE the “counting of the people" j
VV m mentioned in the records of !
tiie Hebrews and the Romans, this !
counting was for military or fiduciary
purposes only. The first count of
population for the sole object of de
t, running the number was made in
tiie United States in 1790. England
and other European countries followed
suit a little later.

ALL RIGHT IN THE END.
I want to believe in the happy old way
That all will come right ir. the end some
day,
That life will be better and days will be
sweet,
That roses will carpet the world for men's
feet,
Tr.it love and afun iion and honor and
trust
Will hft us frutn sorrow and shadow and
dust.
I want to go tolling with this In my heart,
That every da> brings us the joy of *
start
Fresh with endeavor and duty and truth,
As we swing to our tasks with the vigor
of youth,
Singing the music of love and cheer,
Till clouds drift apart and the storms dis¬
appear.
1 want to go trusting that this will be so
As out to the toii and the tumult we go;
That hearts will he kinder and life will
grow bright
With the blessing of labor that leads to
the light;
That troubles, like bubbles, will burst and
away,
And all will come right in the end some
day.
DESIGNED 10 FOIL BANDITS
Pistol Fires Automatically From the
Hip When Prospective Victim
Elevates His Hands,
A piwul which tires automatically
from the hip as one raises his arms
at a bandit's command has been pat¬
ented by Samuel Vlanch of Sioux City,
la. The weapon is so designed that
when the arms are in normal position
it points downward, suspended from
Apt io Astonish Bandit,
a belt worn under tlie coat. When the
arm Is raised above the head a lever
brings the pistol Into position to shoot
straight ahead and trips the hammer.
Viand) says the appliance may be ad¬
justed so It is perfectly safe wdiile
the wearer is engaged in routine du¬
ties.
Unwittingly Hslpad Gut Pussy.
For three successive nights a Van¬
couver man’s cat fought a loud HDd
fierce buttle. At last the man could
stand the caterwauling no longer and
he fired in the general direction of the
cat. He heard a decided commotion,
and retired confident that all was over
with pussy. Iti the morning the cat
w r alked In as usual, a little the worse
for wear and tear, but still good for
many nocturnal scraps. Investigation
of the back yard revealed the pros
trate form of a cougar, shot through
the head. The animal measured
about three feet, and had slate-cob
ored fur.
Still Has Its Nine Lives.
A cat lias nine lives, which probably
accounts for the miraculous escape
from death experienced by a black cat
in Liverpool, Eng., when a three-story
dwelling house collapsed. The occu¬
pants—six families, with as many chil¬
dren—were warned by cracking noises
and left the house before it fell. A
black cat remained behind, however,
but by some marvelous means escaped
being buried in the crash, and was
afterward seen calmly walking about
on tiie top of the debris.
Betrayed by Luminous Watch.
The glow from his luminous watch
led to a burglar’s discovery and cap¬
ture recently in Brighton, Eng. A
woman went upstairs to her room and
saw a point of light in the darkness.
Hurrying downstairs she obtained help
and secured tiie man.
Old Age Attained by Birds,
It is on record that a swan once
lived for three centuries. A well-known
ornithologist had a friend who owned
a gander that at 80 years of age be¬
came so ferocious that the owner was
obliged to kill It. Parrots have attained
the age of 150 years.
Aftermath of War.
A plague of carbuncles is sweeping
Hungary. Doctors say tiie disease is
due to lack of soap and clean linen,
and might be called the “plague of
misery and dirt.”
Played Cards for Infant.
In 1735 at an inn in the county of
Durham, Eng., a child was played for
at cards and, in lieu of four shillings
($1), was duly handed over to the
winner.
Remarkable Birth Record.
Four children in one year is the
record of a Chicago woman. At the
beginning Of the year she gave birth
to twins and on the last day of the
year two girls were born.
A Great One.
“There is one great difference be¬
tween pie and talk.”
“What is that?”
"If you mince your words ou are
not so likely to have to eat them.”

Brotherhood of Love
Needed By Nations
NEEDS THIS MORE THAN LEAGUE
DECT xRES DR. I INGLE.
St. Louis, May 23.—A brotherhood of
nations founded on love as taught bv
Christ is needed to make the world
lay aside armaments of war, the Rev
L Lingie D. D , of Richmond, Va , re
tiring moderator of the Southern Pres
byLrian Church, declared in his ad
dress before the general assembly of
the denomination here yesterday.
Tit ere is a crying need for more mis¬
sionaries to work to bring about this
brotherly love, tiie outgoing modera¬
tor asserted There are more than
1 , 600 , 000,000 non-Christian persons in
the world, he emphasized, 61,00,000 ot
whom are in the United States. Of
the latter number 35,000,000 are older
than eleven years, Dr. Lingie said.
"The world is full of hate today,” the
speaker stateiL "The nations hate each
other with a perfect hatred. It is one
of the greatest problems facing the
church of God at this time. The class
e-i hate each other. The* most terrible
illu! trations of this is found in Russia,
but this class hatred is found in every
land
The world may needTa league of na¬
tion today, but it needs infinitely more
a brotherhood of nations, a brotherhood
that i: bound together by the kind A
love that Jesus teaches, a love that
knows no national, racial, or geogra¬
phical bounds.”
El I CTRICAL FROLIC CON
TIM ED THROUGH WEEK
Aurora Borealis Hasn’t finished Her
Spring Play.
New York—Aurora Borealis’ annual
spring frolic with telegraph and cable
lines which has interrupted transmis¬
sion in this country intermittently
since Friday night, continued this
week The companies expressed be¬
lief however that the magnetic tje
mors popularly known as “Northern
Light- had nearly spent themselves.
Every teiegiaph company reported
serious delay in transmission. The
companies united in declaring that the
influence is one of nature's greatest
phenomena in their history.
Experts who have been working for
many years to overcome the trouble
termed “earth currehts” said they
were unable to advance any definite
scientific explanation.
' Every t|legrapher,” said an official
of one company, “knows what happens
ever> time the lights appear, but no¬
body seems to know just why."
MAKE LEAVES “WALK”
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held.
There are some strange leaves In
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone. Whenever
ihere came a gust of wind these queer
leaves blew off in a perfect shower. As
leaves generally do, they turned over
and over, and rested upon the ground.
Then they would seem to crowl toward
the trunk of the tree from which they
tell. Since that time it has been found
that these leaves, as they were thought
to be, were real insects and lived upon
those very trees. Their bodies are thin
and flat and their wings veined, just
like a leaf. If they are disturbed their
legs, which are folded away under their
bodies, leave their whole shape exact¬

1 INURING 3 tF* manure the and past lime ten fan years spreader ___ A.I the occupied automobile, I the *1
time of many wagon makers. But Thorn¬
hill stuck to the wagon and to the farmer trade.
Over rough mountain roads, through swamps, at
logging camps, these wagons did duty daily.
Thus the fame of the Thornhill spread, and
the demand grew steadily greater.
Tough Highland Hickory
Their plant is located in the very shadow of
mighty forests of mountain hickory. The ground
is hard—the elimate severe. The wood has to
fight for life. So it grows sturdy and strong—
close-grained and tough—well nigh unbreakable.
It has nearly twice the strength of hickory that
grows in softer ground, which is usually brittle
brash. The white oak, growing under similar
conditions, develops a similar toughness.
The oak and hickory sr? dried outdoors under
shelter and kept there U rn three to five years—
so piled that the ak car* circulate freely The
sap dries in it.

they do not fly, but rather walk or
crawl along the ground.
