The AngloSaxons spoke the Morse
language upon their arrival into Great
Britain. and so did the Scotlanders,
which language was the principal
speech In Great Britain up to the sew
enth century after Christ. The abo-
Britain are all Morse. England is

pie. London equals the park-and 50
one might go on. In fact, this old
fashioned mountaineer language of
Norway will translate nearly all abo-
OF the earth. The few abor. gnal
names 1t will not translate may be
readily translated by its close relative
old Irish. Thus it would appear that
this Morse language and old Irish must
have been the first speech of mankind.
The aboriginal names on the coasts Of
America, Africa, Asia, Australia and
Oceanlca are as plainly Morse as on
the coast of Norway, Iceland and
Greenland. The only exceptions to this
are Ireland, up through the state of
New York and UP to the great lakes,
where the aboriginal names are irish
and Welsh. One need not even be a
lingulst in order to discover the par
entage to such names as Oneida,
Onondaga, Huron and Erie. In these
places Irish and Welsh people settled
in the seventh, eleventh and thirteenth
descendants acquired the tribal name
| of Iroquois. The word Iroquois must
| have been first written by French eX-
| plorers, for in French 1t means the
| ones that are Irish" These people
| speak old Irish till this day, and many
| of them bear Irish names. But wait a
| minute, this is letting the cat out of
| the sack and may, perchance, dis
| turb the "innocuous desuetude" OF our
"free-and-easy" historians. who have
all taken the same rut in telling us
that "all good things" on this contl-
nent came from China and from Spain.
Here are few of the myriads of geo.
| graphical names that the Morse Ian
guage will translate faultlessly: Mass
achusetts equals Great Cow hills;
Rhode Island equals Red island; Man
haitian equals the mans hat; Chicago
equals Beer island; Milwaukee equals
the mile wake; Nicaragua equals nine
mems wade; Chile equals the wedge;
equals Heap point; Galinas equals
Gale point; Waiawa equals wide wade;
Tangier equals points of land. Thus
the writer could 60 on and translate
all the ancient geographical names or
the face Of the earth, and also give
the year in which each tribe reached

the globe, but he does not know IL there

~HE way the handwriting experts

Montana people wildly of the trial OF
the Davis will case. One set of experts
swear positively that the handwriting

many and as noted experts who are
prepared to swear that 1t is not. The
effect Of such conflicting testimony is
to raise doubt in the minds of the
jury, and under the general rule of
law the defendant Of course will get
the benefit of it. Young Molineux may
be guilty of having poisoned all Of the
people who died in connection with
the Adams case, but it is not at all

Christian peoples, or so-called Christian

this season the yule log will burn gloom

with a depressed feeling and they will
have a good cause. They took UP the

Uses. Business cannot expand in the
first place without money to expand it,
any more than it can sustain itself
without money after it has expanded.
1t is practically impossible to imagine
such thing as business taking start
and expanding itself without some ad-
dtonal money coming into circulation.
1t may come directly from the mint or
from boards, but it Is an addition to
the circulation just the same in either
case. Mr.. Cages idea seems to be that
business first starts itself and expands
automatically, but after it has expand
ed more money must be supplied or 1t
will contract again.
During the last few weeks he has
been devising all sorts of schemes to
get more money into circula-
ton, in order to sustain busi-
ness. He says that the trouble is
caused by the flow Of money to the
interior, but that the stage of satura-

actually seems to think that money is
like freight cars, and that only so much
of it can be used. He appears bliss
fully unconscious of the fact that the

yaunts, the greatest Of soldiers. The
Beers have triumphed everywhere and
the banners of Britain are traied in dis

Inundated and unhappy at season In
which the nation is accustomed greatly
to rejoice. The people under such cir

more than any other responsible for the
