elaborate menu was served. Carter was
at the head of the table and in making
the first speech of the evening paid
graceful compliments to the retiring
administration. He made reference to
the high character and valuable public
services of Governor Dole and said
that the islands had much in their
present condition for which the people
should be thankful to Dole.

good deal of humor into a discussion of
the troubles of his department in view
of the financial stringency under which
the administration is certain to labor.

LIFE.

The poets exclamation: 20 Life /! I
feel thee bounding in my veins," is q
joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or. never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be we'll and strong-to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties Of
the day, and to retire not overcome by
them--to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands of people, men and women,
we'll and strong, has accomplished q
great work, bestowing the riches: bless
ings, and that medicine is Hoods Sar.
saparilla. The weak, run down, or de-
bilitated, from any cause, should not
fail to take it. 1t builds up the whole
system, changes existence into life, and
makes life more abounding. We are
glad to say these words in its favor to
the readers of our columns.

radium. Radium is, indeed, an un-
known quantity. Each week brings
to light startling additions to its mys-
terious properties, which, as far as is
yet known, emanate and originate in
itself, and cause scientists to ask the
question, "Can it be possible that Prof.
and Nine. Curie have in radium dis.
covered perpetual motion?"
According tothe Tribune correspon.
dent, radium is in appearance much
like table salt-a grayish white pow
der. But one would prefer to expert
ment with dynamite. "The professor,
to illustrate the fact that carrying ra-
dunn about produces flesh burns or
wounds, good naturedly barred his left
arm and showed me deep wound that
had been four months healing" Be-
side this, the corrosive influence of
gold is less than nothing; it is safe to
say that no one will ever be such a
miser as to hoard radium. At the
close of the interview, M. Curie asked:
"Why don't some of your enterprising
compatriots get samples of American
radium? There are vast beds of min
eral deposits in Colorado containing
canotite, vanadium and uranium
which would readily yield to the ton
two or three centigrammes of radium.
Already in Germany Herr Giesel,
manages quinine factory near Giesel
who manages quinine factory near
Brunswick, has extracted from the
mineral deposits there several
grammes of radium. At present we
are all working in theory, for the cost
of radium is far too great to permit its
being put to practical industrial tests.
But the potentiality of radium is enor-
nous, reaching far beyond the range
of human vision, and American scien-
tific men and scientific women have a
grand field of original investigation
and research open to them"
According to the Westminster "Ga-
zette of England, the value of radium
has been absurdly overstated. ''The
present market price of fairly purera-
dium is f4O0 pound" During the
last three years, however, only between
500 and 600 grammes of the new ele-
ment have been manufactured Coun-
try Gentleman.

LIFE'S SCARS.

They say the world is round, and yet
often think 1t square,
s, many little hurts we get
From the corners here and there.
But one great truth in life I've found,
While jsurneving to the West
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the Test.
Tie man you thoroughly despise
Can rouse your wrath, tits true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing ills;
This rule all lives will prove:
The ranking wound VIII ch aches and thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest grace,
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mi II, the frowning face
Are given to our own.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the aeeting guest;
And deal full many thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom,
Alas, for those who only see
This cut across a tomb!
But, soon or late, the fact grown plain
TO all through sorrows test;
The only folks who give US pain
Are those we love the best.

In the Dismal Swamp.

Within twenty miles of one of the
largest and most energetic of the
Southern cities of the coast, and on
the border lands of two of the oldest
Southern States, there lies a district
some two or three hundred square
miles in extent, but little better known
at this day than it was $50 years ago
when George Washington himself laid
out route through its wilderness.
The name alone, "TLe Dismal Swamp"
is byword everywhere, and legend
has grown up around it of dreary,
boggy, unknown region Of snakes and
dark damp thickets, swarming with
mosquitoes, malaria and owls, where
runaway slaves fled for refuge, to lead
an existence scarcely less miserable
than that from which they had es-
capped.
The swamp is old historically. The
first settlers at Norfolk knew of it as
a wild, impossible bit of country full
of game and of valuable timber cypress,
so good for making shingles; juniper,
black gum and beech. In 1928, Colo
mel Byrd, while endeavoring to estab-
lish the boundary between Virginia
and North Carolina, ran a survey
across it working with the greatest
difficulty and only making mile day
through the thick growth. He named
it then "Tbe Dismal Swamp"
X X X X X
The center of the swamp, and the
most attractive part of it, is pond
called Lake Drummond. 1t is three
miles long and two wide, with an aver
age depth of ten feet, though both size
and depth vary considerably with the
seasons. From this lake radiate the
waterways called bitches, the only
practical means of penetrating into the
wilderness.
These water pathways were the re-
suit Of an attempt to exploit the riches
Of the swamp. Long before the Revo.
luton men began to cut :he cypress
and juniper that grew to such aston
ishing height and girth in the rich,
wet soil. The difficulty was not to
find trees but, as they began cutting
farther and father in from the solid
land on the edges of the marshy coun-
try, to get the logs out to the settle
ment. The swamp luckily gave nat
ural means Of transportation through
the water in its soil. II shovelful of
earth is taken up the hole left fills in
stantly with water. So the early
woodsmen dug shallow canals, three
or four feet deep and ten or twelve
wide. They called these waterways
bitches, and fl ated out their logs
along them. George Washington laid
out one of the canals that leads in six
or eight miles from the edge of the
swamp TO Lake Drummond, and is
still called the Washington Ditch, and
still used as one Of the best approaches
to the lake.
There are many other bitches cut
through the swamp. The "Jerco,"
that leads in from the town of Suffolk
to the lake, the "White Oak Spring."
the Heron" and the "Feeder Ditch"
This last has been raised to the dignity
of a canal and equipped with locks at
each end and acts as passage and
feeder from Lake Drummond to the
main Dismal Swamp canal, which gets
its water supply from the lake. The
Dismal Swamp canal itself is serious

NAMES OF VEHICLES.

Men who in these days "hire hack"
never stop to inquire how the vehicle
they engage to wheel them to their
homes or to depot got its name. 1t
suffices to know that everybody else
calls it hack, and to them it is sim
ply that, and nothing more. The orig
inal hacks were termed hackney
coaches, because they were drawn by
"backneys," a name applied to easy
going, safe-pacing horses.
coach" is derived from The French
coche, diminutive form of the Latin
conchula, shell, in which shape the
body of such conveyances was origi-
nally fashioned. Seldom, if ever, is
the full term "omnibus" applied to
those heavy, numbering vehicles found
in so many large cities. With the
characteristic brevity of English
speaking races, the title has been
changed to "bus."
These were first seen in Paris in 1927
and the original name of "omnibus" is
derived from the fact that it first ap.
peared on the sides of each convey

tin word signifying "for all"
"Cab" is an abbreviation of the Ital-
ian words cabriola, which was changed
to cabriolet in French. Both words

signifying a goats leap. The exact
reason for giving it this strange ap-
pellation is unknown, unless because
of the lightness and springiness of the
vehicle in its ori ginal form.
In some instances the names of spc-
cial forms of carriages are derived
from the titles of the persons who in
troduced them. The brougham, was
was first used by the famous Lord
Brougham and William w, who was
originally the Duke of Clarence, gave
the latter name to his favorite convey
ance.
The popular hanson derives its
name from its introducer, Mr.. Hansen !;
and the tilbury, at one time a very
fashionable two-wheeled vehicle, was
called from a sporting gentleman of
the same name. =.
Landau, city in Germany, was the
locality in which was first made the
style vehicle bearing that name.
Sulky, as applied to wheeled con-
veyance, had it's origin in the fact that
when it first appeared the person who
saw it considered that none but sui
ky, selfish person would ride in such
an affair, which afforded accommoda-
dation to but one individual. The
strange title has never changed.-Kan-

FAVOR OWNERSHIP BY CITY.
Mass Meeting at Sioux Falls Votes /,
Build wsteruorLc

ms 1897
Sioux Falls, S. D., June 3.-The result
Of a mass meeting Of citizens, called by
Mayor Burnside upon petition of a num-
Der OF taxpayers to discuss the question
Of constructing a municipal waterworks
system, proved that the sentiment of an
overwhelming majority of the citizens of
Sioux Falls Is in favor of. the city con-
.structing its own plant.
The signers OF the petition asking that
the mass meeting be called We're largely
those who are opposed to the construction
OF a municipal system, but favor the ex-
tension of the private water company's
franchise for a period Of five years from
next April, when the franchise terminates.
The mass meeting was easily captured
by those favoring the construction Of a
municipal system, and when a vote was
taken on the two propositions only about
half q dozen of those present expressed
themselves in favor of the franchise of
the private water mpan being ex-
tended.
This settles the matters and the work OF
constructing the city waterworks VIII be
commenced at the earliest possible date.

The pronounced sentiment among the
people of Sioux Falls in favor Of a city
system is due largely If not wholly to the
imposition of decidedly obnoxious rules
by the private company regarding the use
