QUEER NARRATIVES OF LIFE.
A Tale of Love and Romance,

Detroit Tree Press.
At II o'clock yesterday forenoon a
couple of excursiOnists took seats on the
east pOrticO of the City Hall, directly
under the window Of the Chief Of Police.
He was a bean-pOle looking chap %. with
dust an inch deep on his back, and She
was an authenticated angel of 20, wear
ing a solid shoe, and chewing three Guilds
Of gum rolled into one. For a long time
they sat and looked at the fountains and
sighed and were silent. Then he tenderly
queried:
Hammer, isn't it dreamy?'
"Yum," she answered.
Il could sit here forever" he wills
pered.
Il don't believe 1 could-Pd be hun

More silence and signs, and then he
took her elbow II his hand and said:

"Didn't YOU bring a biscuit alOng?"

Indianapolis Ne1Cs Washington Letter.
There is a peculiar fascination for some
people in the idea Of sneaking a drink Of
shudder at the thought of going into a
barrO0m up town think it quite delightful.
There was very nice temperance Joint
resolution put through the Senate at the
beginning of the session, closing up both
Congressional gin-mills and virtually re-
fusing permission to sell even malt liquors
or wine. The latter amendment was got
in by Frye. Mr.. Edmunds prepared the
resolution. Edmunds knew it would never
get through the House. Edmunds himself
drinks more than any other Senator on
the Republican side Of the chamber, so it
was quite proper he should want TO swear
of in this cemmendable way. Well, it
got over to the House, / believe, if the
messenger who bore it was not met by
Belf0rd and murdered in the crypt, and
that is the last Of it.

WHO'S A HOOsEER?
How the Term Originated, and Why it
Applies to Indianians.


A story is told by some OF the old resi-
dents of the State to the effect that the
word was first applied to Indianians about
the time when Madison was the centre of
a large pork trade, and the farmers for a
hundred miles around would drive their
hogs there in great drOyes. The peculiar
noise that they kept up in driving the
sWine-sOunded something like HOO-ie !
hOO-ie. hOo-ie, led to their being called.
by a corruption of the sound, 'fHOOsiers.''
The story. if true, would make the origin
of the word comparatively recent, and it
cannot be accepted with credence for the
reason that the palmy pOrkOpoly days Of
Madison were long after the HOOsiers had
become known.
The first that is known Of the word ap-
peariug in print was in 1880, when John
Finley, the Wayne county poet, wrote a
New Years poem for the Journal. emit
tied ''HOOsier's Nest" IN which a de-
scripti0n Of the pioneer cabin in Indiana
is given. The poem, in the light of the
traditional stories, gives something of an
idea Of the manner in which the word
came into use. The first few lines read:
I'm told, in riding somewhere West,
a stranger found a ''HOOser's Nest
In other words, a Buckeye cabin.
just big enough to hold Queen Nab in.
Its situatiOu-l0W but airy
Was on the borders Of q prairie:
And, fearing he might be benighted.
He hailed the house and then alghted
The HOOsler met him at the door,
Their salutatlOns soon were DER.
1t was the custom among the early pio-
neers in Indiana travelling through the
country 10 hail cabin by calling out,
''WhO lives here?" and ''WhO's here -
About the time Of the treaty of peace with
the Indians in 1918, and when the State
was very sparsely settled, travel was at
tended by great dangers, and no man ever
rode away from home without his rifle.
As common precautiOn Of safety, when
a traveller saw in the distance the smoke
from camp or cabin fire, he would call
out, upon coming within hearing dis
lance, 'Who's here?'' and from the
response he would know if he was
among friends. From cOrrup-
ton of this form of salutatiOn the
people Of Indiana were called HOosiers.
Doubtless, settlers, in writing back to
their friends at their old homes, would
say that they ''were here among the
HOOsieTs,' and in a few years the appella-
ton sprang into general use. Gen. W. H.
II. Terrell, whose researches in the early
history of Indiana have been thorough.
and who may be accepted as authority,
says that this is the true origin of the
word, and Gov. Wright is credited with
saving that il was a corruption of the
form Ofsalutati0n Ofthe early settlers Of the
Western country. 4 critical interpreted
ton of Einley's poem seems to give a proof
Of this explanation.

cidents happen to u.s. said the engineer.
Il was running along one afternoon
pretty lively when l approached little
village where the track cuts through the
streets. l Stacked up a little, but was
still making good speed, when suddenly,
about twenty rods ahead of me, little
girl, not more than three years old, tod
died on to the track. There was no way
to save her. 1t was impossible to stop
or even to slack much in that distance, as
my train was heavy and the grade de-
scending. In ten seconds it would have
been all over, and, after reversing and ap-
plying the brake, shut my eyes. 1 didn't
want to see any more. As we slowed
down my fireman stuck his head out Of
the cab window to see what I'd stopped
for, when he laughed and shouted to
me, Jim, look herew I looked. and
there was a great big black NewfOund-
land dog holding that little girl in
his mouth, leisurely walking toward the
house where she evidently belonged. She
was kicking and crying so that knew
she wasn't hurt, and the dog had saved
her. My fireman thought it funny and
kept on laughing, but 1 cried. l just

Some Health Rules for Winter.

Farm and Fireside.
Never lean with the back upon anything that
is cold. Never begin journey until the break,
fast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then Immediately
go out in the cold.
Keep the back especially between tho shout
der blades, well covered; also, the chest well
protected In sleeping in a cold room establish
the habit of breathing through the nose, and
never with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet
Never omit regular bathing, for unless the
skin is in active condition the cold will close the
pores and favor congestion or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride in an
open carriage near the window of car, for
a moment; it is dangerous to health, and even to
life
When hoarse speak as little as possible until
the hoarseness is recovered from, else the voice
may be permanently lost or difficulties of the
throat be produced
Merely warm the back by fire, and never
continue keeping the back exposed to heat after
it has become comfortably warm. To do other
wise is facilitating
When going from warm atmosphere into a
cooler one keep tine mouth closed so that the air
may be warmed by its passage through the nose
ere it reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, especially
after having taken a slight degree of exercise,
and always avoid standing on ice or snow, or
where the person is exposed to a cold wind

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Displomatlc circles are

reaches here from Paris that Aristarch Bev. the
former Turkish minister, who was recalled two
years ago. has never been allowed to return to
his own country. The gentleman in question
saws if he did he would be decapitated. 1t was
known when he left this city that he had some
serious misunderstanding with the ruling pow
ers in the Ottoman empire. His friends here
were convinced that this could be due to no
fault OF his, and hoped it could be amicably set

he has known it would not be safe for him to
venture there in an attempt to clear up the

New CASTLE, Pa, Dec. 2-"Hog Marsh" is
the unaesthetie name of decidedly moist stretch

to require but little fertilization, and still less r
rigation is necessary. The ground is remarkably
good for garden sass and farmer whe owned
considerable of it planted ninety acresi in potatoes
early this year Interest in the election, how
ever, and his more pressing agricultural duties
prevented him from gathering the potatoes early,
and observing that the autumn was mild and
frosts scarce, he continued to postpone the har-
vesting of his potato crop, confident that
the thick, pasty soil would protect the
'murphies' from injury, at least till he
should have time to gather them in
A cold night last week induced some tramps
to kindle a fire in the woods near the swamp
and, as usual they neglected to put it out when
they said good-by. The fire spread and ulti-
mately reached some inhammable underground
formation in which the muck burns like peat or
coal. The ninety-acre potato patch was invaded
by the flames, and about twelve acres were
thoroughly roasted above and below ground
On the following day the farmers attention
was attracted by unusual assembage in his
fields, and on investigation found that his Wis
itors were digging his potatoes and eating them
Wondering that they should eat potatoes raw,

etables were baked as nicely as the best cook
could do it The tramps who, when they were
building the fire. 'builded wiser than they
knew, have returned to Hog Marsh.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2--The sheriff of Salem
county, New Jersey. who is to hang the negro
Sullivan, who murdered little Ella Watson, is
occupying rather unpleasant situation. The
hanging is to take place to-day and the sheriff
has no scaffold. He had depended upon the
sheriff of Philadelphia county for such an i'm
plement, but the latter officer has decided not to
let it go out of his custody Not carpenter in
the whole of Salem county will build such a
structure owing to their supersttious natures,
and the sheriff is evidently in poor way to
carry out his commission. He saws, however
that he will hang the man on the limb of tree
rather than not carry out his commission.
