their former statements that larger funds

point has been reached where the amount
appropriated is no more than sufficient to

l'ne Name ~TOmbiEbee,

Mr.. Charles Gibson OF Eufaula, |. T.,
says that Tombigbee river is often
written about and is in history, and not
n in a thousand knows why it is called
Tombigbee. Years ago there was such
a thing as Il white man coming among
the North American Indians. 1t was
the case with the naming of this river.
There vas a lone white man among the
Choctaw Indians. He was a friendly
white man, not a boomer nor Il land
'grabber, nor was he a hobo.
He was a workingman and farmed a
little, built houses or huts for the ma
tives, and here comes in the history of
not only the naming of the river, but
when the North American Indians be-
gan to bury their dead this white man
could make a coffin and persuaded the
wild men to bury their dead under the
sod. This good man lived on the banks
Of the river. The Choctaws did not
know his name, but called him the
coffin maker, which in Choctaw is
etombe igbee. From this the white man
has changed the above Choctaw words to
Tombigbee river.-Minneapolis Trib-

DehOrned to Save Room.

Down here they saw the horns off the
"wild' or Texas cattle before they ship
them east. The animals pack better,
take up less room in the cars, are not
so likely to injure n another and look
better to the buyer. A Texas steer may
carry just as much beef and tallow as a
muley COW, but his long horns make
him look leaner. Texas cattle have a
bad reputation, too, and when their
horns are sawed off they look as inno-
cent and harmless as a barnyard heifer.

Here is rather a good story, which
has also the merit of being true. A
large firm in Aberdeen recently engaged
as office boy a raw country youth. It
was part of his duties to attend to the
telephone in his masters absence.
When first called upon to answer the
bell, in reply to the usual query, care
you there?" he l.odded assent. Again
the question came and still again, and
each time the boy gave an answering
nod. When the question came for the
fourth time, however, the boy, losing his
temper, roared through the telephone:

LOVELY HYPOCRISY.
Little Tricks Which ShOw What d

Consummate Actress In Patti.
A dramatic writer of San francisco
tells the following amusing story Of
PATHS last visit to the Pacific coast.
He was at the station with many others
to meet the great diva when she ar
rived.
1.-The diva stepped from the train"
said the San Franciscan, "and after
inhaling a Jung full Of fog remarked:
ooh, this is heavenl All my troubles
are paid for. Thank heaven. 1 breathe
the air of San Francisco once againl'
This was all very sweet in the high
priced canary bird, and the newspaper
boys were all delighted.
"However, it was only a short time
before I went down to the train to meet
Patti at Salt Lake City. She was de-
scending from her car, and as her feet
touched the ground she exclaimed:
thank heaven, I breathe the air of
Salt Lake City nee morel All my trou-
bles are paid for. Oh, this is heaven!'
The newspaper boys were all delighted
with her.
"As for myself, on both Of these oc-
casions I was delighted also-with the
diva's lovely hypocrisy, that accursed
sin which the poet tells NE takes the
best men in. I never thought Patti
much Of an actress, but l changed my
mind in this respect after witnessing
these two exhibitions"
Nothing in the way of ''lovely n.y.
pocrisy" can surprise anybody who has
ever seer Patti on the concert stage.
She rushes to the footlights, a vision of
smiling radiance, eyes swimming with
the moisture Of ~overpowering joy and a
look of pleading affection on her coun-
tenance, as if the present moment were
the happiest Of her life and as if she
were consumed by IN eager desire to
