Generally Used,

A discussion has been started In Ger,
many, urging that German children
drop the words mama" and "papa"
In favor Of "Mutter" (mother) and
Water" (father). How" say they,
''can anybody prefer the unmeaning
mamma to the deep and impressive
'mutter? Nothing can replace for a
German the word Mutter,' certainly
not the French mamma A certain
philologist, however, asks how 1t can
be suggested that the word mamma
is derived from the French, seeing that
1t is probably to be found in all Ian
guages Of the world. In the numerous
dialects of Africa, and in India, the
word is mamma which Is given as
title of honor to every elderly dame
deserving of esteem and respect.
Mamma and papa (baba) are so gen.
orally used in all parts Of the world
that they probably date back some
thousands of years."

1t may not be known to many that
there Is a Vegetarian Church, whose

nearly 100 years old. Its American
meeting house is in Philadelphia, and
its American leader is Rev. Henry s,

In 1907 an Ehglishman, Rev. W.

LANKY MORRISON, UMPIRE

The flag rush between the sophp
mores and freshmen at Northwest

the father Of one of the latter Of his
schoolboy days. The master Of bis
school was a cadaverous six-foOte

up in bandages, and usually carried
one arm in sling. The big boys tool
special pleasure in knocking the LITTLE

"One day about half the school had
to be excused on account of bruises
from shiny. Then Lanky MorriSOI
addressed the school about as follows
as 1 recall it:

when Lanky Morrison appeared OF
the Fairgrounds he had a stick as long
as his body, and when he reached OUT
he came pretty near covering the field
When the stick got into play the Bull
lies almost lost the game.
THE boys who grow up in the town
were always known by the name of
the side with which they played shin

The two sides became famous in that
part of the country.
1T was enough to say of a young
man, he was one of the Parvi or Il
