How Settlements
in Indiana were
Christened.

when the task OF christening the pres
ent town of Brazil fell to the pioneers.
Tho settlers had become involved in
the usual clash, and appealed to him
for suggestion. He did not look up
from his paper. and, with an air of
indifference, said: "Oh, call her Brazil,
boys" Governor William Henry Har-
rison, riding through the forests on
the old Vincennes-Ohio Falls trail,
heard the sweet voice of Jennie Smith
singing the plaintive ballad 'Corydon,"
and it attracted him many times to the
Smith home, where he located the first
capital of the state and named 1t after
the song. Rockville Is city builded
on a rich alluvial deposit, and but two
rocks Of any size can be found in the
town. There was the usual wrangling
between pioneer settlers, each of whom
wanted the town named after himself.
At last a stranger laid his hand on the
big rock and said well, here's fell
low that's been here longern any of
you; name it after him." The one
flask of whisky in the crowd was
drained, and the town was christened
by the empty bottle being broken over
1.-The fellow that's been here longer'n
any of u.s." 1t is claimed the name
Henpeck comes from the fact that the
women fought. and Fulton was named
simply because Robert Fulton there
stepped off the Orleans, the first steam
boat run on the Ohio or any inland
river. Southern Indiana geography is
interesting by reason OF peculiar
names. The Kentuckians that came
over the river in the early part of the
century chose peculiar names, and
many of those names still cling to the
settlements. Jefferson county is fair
example. A list given by the Madison
Courier includes: Chicken Run, Tur-
key Branch, Crow Falls, Carpet Alley,
The Dump, Gentry's Bluff, Rat Row,
Postum Trot, Doe Run, Devils Back

HOOSieY
* Names

AS O rule Indiana towns and cities
have either been named in honor OF
prominent people, first settlers, or In
dams, or have been given their names
as the result of locality. Many of the
latter, however, can be traced back to
interesting origin. Elkhart, for ex-
ample. was named after Eikhart river,
and the Elkhart river was given lis
name because there was an island in
the stream that the Indians fancied
resembled the heart Of an elk. Anter-
son, Muncie, Kokomo and other towns
whose names seem to be pure Ameri
can, are traced to Indian origin. La
porte comes from the French, and the
explorers OF that nationality applied it
first to the beautiful prairies. Terre
Haute also comes from the French. and
means beautiful rising ground or high
lands. Lagrange, another name OF
French origin, was named after Count
Lafayettes chateau in France. North
Manchester, Hartford City, and many
other towns get their root from locali-
ties from which settlers had emigrated.
Tell City was named after William
Tell. The derivation of Monticello,
Mount Vernon and other cities of that
classification is not difficult to ascer
tain. The name of the capital is a
happy combination of two root words
and combined they tell the complete
story of the big Indiana city. The o.
igin of the name Pigeon Roost tells
its own story. Rising Sun and Aurora
the result Of rivalry in naming
afford magnificent scenes of the morn
ing as viewed across the Ohio. Rock
port tells of another location on the
Ohio, and one knows it by the character
OF its magnificent surroundings. There
are several versions Of the origin OF
the name Strawtown, one of the most
unique in the state. One is that the
huts were all straw thatched the other
that it comes from the old chief, Straw
French Lick Springs has its origin in
the fact that the saline waters attract
ed wild animals to the mud in the old
Indian days, and that the deer and
other beasts licked up the salt. The
place became known as The Licks."
West Baden, of course, has its origin
from the famous Baden springs in the
old country. Crown Point tells its own
story. South Bend indicates that it is
on the south bend of the st. Joseph.
The list might be continued almost
indefinitely. Yankee Bill" Stewart
was reading in his weekly New York
Tribune of the Brazilian revolution.

mates of the John Worthy school at
the bridewell and other reformatory
institutions are to be permitted TO join

taors of the communication fear that
their children will be compelled to

and make vehement protest. Com
mander Blocklnger declares that I'M

of recruits every person who has been
convicted of any kind Of crime is spe
cifically prohibited from joining the

are in the navy need have no fear that
they will be associated with criminals
as the Federal regulations governing
the matter of enlistment are very
plain, and were drafted with the ex-
press purpose of keeping persons of
improper character out of the service"
he said. "A year ago the officers of the
Juvenile court suggested that it would
be good thing if the best of the boys
coming under their jurisdiction could
be put into the navy, and by complete
change of surroundings given an op-
portunity to reform. The matter at
that time was the subject of several
conferences, and it was decided that
under no circumstances could we place
that class of boys in the navy."-Chi-

When Man With

and still they were perverse enough
to die. In 1880 there was real excite
ment in Connecticut. 1t was caused
by a daring man who drove the first
light one-horse wagon. The fad
took" but it was well into 1910 be-
fore the new vehicle became common
enough not to attract notice when seen
on the road. The first cast iron pillow
was made in New Jersey, in 1897 but
it was viewed with alarm, because the
farmers had an idea it would poison
the land. Even in 1887 an assemblage
of farmers in New Hampshire objected
strenuously to the cast iron pillow on
these grounds.
And now the man with the hoe does
not have to cut his wheat with sickle
or cradle rake it and bind it by hand,
cut his corn stalks with knife and
shock the stalks by hand, thrash his
grain with a fail, or drive horses
over it to tread it out, scrape the ears
of corn against shovel or the handle
of frying pan. 1t is no longer nee
essary for him to dig potatoes, or to
cut his grass with a scythe and to
spread it with a pitchfork that it may
dry, or to pitch the hay from the
wagon to the hay NOW in the barn, or
to pick the lint from cotton seed by
hand. He's a machinist.-Ne York

A few generations ago the American
He was mighty lucky, by the way, IL
he had hoe. For instance, in 1880, in
Georgia, the hoes used were all home
made, and were formed Of just piece
of roughly hammered iron and sap
ling with the bark left on. The poor
whites of that state ground their grain
between two common stones. The
plows which the Massachusetts, farm
ers dropped to do a little farming on
Bunker Hill with musket were made
of wood. In 1857 there were only
thirty-seven plows in the entire col
ony. Persons used to borrow the
neighborhood pillow, and often single
one had to do for whole township.
Those old plows were terrors. They
were twelve feet long. Eight or ten
oxen were required to pull it, a man
had to ride on the beam to keep it in
the ground and another man had to
walk behind it with heavy iron hoe
to dig it out when it got stalled.
In 1856 cows and oxen were 50
scarce in America that cows brought
$3.50 and oxen 5000 pair-and mighty
poor scrubs at that. Red calves were
cheaper than black ones, because the
farmers reasoned that wolves would
mistake red calves for deer and eat
them up. In Virginia they had an
idea that housing and milking COWS
