Antiquity of the Handker, lie.

That there was time when Il ere W G
no handkerChiefS is as certain as lal he :
was once an epoch when there WIS al uu-
created world The handkerchief could
not be evolved before the sense of neatness
that called it into being, for the law of sup
ply and demand is as old rs the creation
For its comparatively modern advent there
are sufficient reasons. Civilization began
in regions where the climate was mild and
colds uncommon. This was the case in
Egypt, in Syria, in India and about the
Mediterranean. There has nothing been
found on an Egyptian tomb or Obelisk that
suggests the handkerchief. Assyrian monu-
ments throw no light on the subject, and
even in regard to ancient Greece the matter
IS in doubt.
But though the fashionables of the old
world were required to blow or wipe the
nose rarely, there were other uses for such
spare drapery as they had about their per-
sons. They perspired freely and wept
often, either from grief or rage, or because
the sand of the desert was blown into their
eyes. What more natural than that the
person who perspired or wept should re
move the supertluous moisture with the
end or corner of his flowing garments, and
that in the course of time it should seem
to him more neat and proper to have a
separate piece of woven fabric for that
purpose?-San Francisco Chronicle.

Afraid of the Whistle.

Some time ago one OF the whistles on an
Eastern Minnesota passenger engine be
came cracked and made very dscOrdant
noise The engineer asked for a new one,
and when it was proposed to give him the
whistle from an engine that recently
had been wrecked and at which time the
fireman had been killed he refused to ac-
cept it.-Duluth News.
A Little Girls Brave Death.
There died not long ago the little daugh-
ter of New York lawyer who approached
the dark river with a composure that was
as pathetic as it was unusual. She was
the second in the family connection to sue
cumb to diphtheria. A few weeks before
she sickened she had known of the illness
and death of a young cousin and play
mate, and though not allowed at the bed
side or funeral had been much impressed,
and had asked questions which showed
that the dismal features of the last rites
were full of horror to her.
When she was taken i'll it was carefully
concealed from her that she had diphtheria,
lest she should be frightened. 1t was
malignant attack, and it ran its course
quickly. The crisis approached and all
hope was abandoned. Her father sat by
her side WATCHING her pale face take on a
grayer pallor that had only one meaning.
The little girls eyes were closed, and in her
fathers hand her own nerveless fingers
were held. A tear wrung from his agony
dropped upon them. The child opened her
eyes wide.
"Are you crying, papa?" she said, as we'll
as she could speak; "am l so sick?-papa,
am going to die"
The question was earnest, sSAl the eyes
searched his face for hope, but she saw
there was none. For long minute she
watched him closely. Who shall say what
that look contained? Fear, entreaty, af-
lection, and finally renunciation-for at
length, with little weary sigh, she turned
away, putting her face toward the wall,
but leaving her hand still fast in his.
Papa" she said again, after brief
silence, and in the tone there was a touch
ing resignation, 'sing 'Bye-low,'" which
was nursery lullaby she had never out
grown.
Although choking with grief, the
stricken father complied, and so, holding
his hand, with her face still to the wall and
in her ears the grooming familiar melody,
the little girl quietly met her death.-Her

Meaning of Some Indian Names

Amicolola, the beautiful falls about the
line of Lumpkin and Gilmore counties
means rolling water. Ami is water ard
colola is rolling-Amicolola rolling water
Mr. Moore departs from the established
rule of spelling several names. He has il
"Cannesauga;" it is 'Connasauga."
hardly think the Cherokee language has
words for rivers, creeks, branches, etc
They would describe the different bodies
of water by such words as little, large
small, great. Like Hebrew names, theiI
names, as / have said, signify something il
the thing named. Thus Tennessee means
spoon. All Indian dialects have limited
vocabulary j. Cotter in Atlanta Con

A Test of Death.

Two Maine boys were travelling on foot
through Europe some years ago, when the
cholera was raging in various parts of the
continent, which somewhat alarmed them
and their friends at home. Finally one day
Sam said to Bill, "See here, Bill, this thing
is getting serious. see that people are
dying so fast in Spain that the people are
in panic, and some of the sick, it is said,
have been buried before they were really
dead" Bill was very naturally disturbed,
and the result was a e0lemn compact be-
tween the two that m case either one
were to die of the cholera the other would
keep his body from burial until there
would be no possible chance to doubt that
life was extinct. Now it appears that both
these young men were inveterate lovers of
oyster stew. Nothing in the edible line
would so stir the pulses of each, or cause a
glow of animation to light up their eyes,
as a mention of the cheerful bivalve.
AS itturned out, the young men returned
home in safety, and friend who knew of
the propensity of each to indulge in the
A=Aarant stew, in commenting upon the

of the forgeries at the very beginning,
otherwise it is probable the amount
taken would not have been known so
soon, if at all. When told by Auditor
Kahn about 1920 p. m. Dec. last that
one of his deputies had. been forging
certificates he sent Detective John
U'Connor for Davis, who found him at
his home and told him he was wanted
by Clerk O'Connor at the court
house on matter of business. Davis
went to the auditors Office without
apparently Suspecting what was wanted
with him. When asked where the Stub
book from which he issued the jury GER
tificates was he stated that it was in the
vault of the clerks office. On. going
there with Mr.. O'Connor it could not be
found and Davis then. admitted hay-
ing destroyed it. he at first denied be-
ing short in his accounts, but subse-
quently admitted. upon being catechised
by Mr.. O'Connor, that he was short
$1,000 and said he had 1850 at home
and would borrow the remainder and
pay it. He went home and produced
certificates of deposit for the sum of
$l,560. He was lodged in the central
station at about 2 a. m. Upon reflection
Mr.. O'Connor suspected that it might
be possible that the shortage of Davis
would reach more than. he had admit
ted, from the fact that in one day alone
he had forged twenty orders. He i'm
mediately repaired to the central sta
ton the same night, and after a Scath
ing questioning Davis turned over other
certificates of deposit. making the total
sum of $40, 544.44.
There has been in partisan pap ers
unjust reflection upon Clerk O'Connor
for his treatment of Davis the night OF
the discovery, but it is now made APP
parent that but for that summary treat
ment not only might the amount of the
shortage have gone unsupported, but
the money itself might never have been
recovered.
