POVERTY IN NAMES.
Dearth of Invention shown in
Naming Places in America.
From Harper's Weekly.

So far as we can observe, a poverty
of imagination bordering on restitution
christened it's great subdivisions from
the first New England, New France,
New Spain, New Netherlands; what
could be cheaper than these names,
with the subsequent calling of their
nascent cities for the cities of the
mother countries, unless it were the
later naming of them out of the Holy
Bible and the classical dictionary? The
poor Indian gave from his meager
store for the same purpose, but the
gift was not abundant enough to go
round the towns and villages of sin
gle province.
When we think that lakes, rivers,
mountains, capitals, crossroads, streets,
steamboats,, churches, railroads, break
fast foods and a thousand other i'm
memora ole things had to be named, 1t
is no wonder that the names did not
hol dout. When the apartment house
arrived, late in our evolution, it had
70 go begging, almost from the begin
ming, for anything significant or dis
tinctive from our exhausted resources.
A very noticeable and gratifying in
novation in the nomenclature OF the
fiat houses is the tendency WHICH we
should, as remote votaries of muses., be
ungracious not to mention, and that is
the naming of several after well-known
authors. We have found two called
The Emerson, one The Lowell and one
The Henry James. This is a tendency
which we could not applaud too We
hemently, and we should be glad to
see it ultimated in the use of the au-
thors' several works for the fiat houses
of the future. We should feel it an
irrefragable proof that our beloved
commercial metropolic had become be-
yond all Chicagoan, cavil the literary
center of the country if we go about
with strangers and show them The
Brahma, The Boston Hymn. the Good
bye, Proud World I'm Going Home, or
the The Sir Launfal, The Bigelow Pa
pers, or The Wing of Dove, The Sa-
cred Fount, The Ambassadors.

and the Savannah men went to the
Turkish Baths. There were no injuries
done to the Georgia men further than
slight bruises.
DR.. Norton made a careful examina-
ton of the Savannah men. Frank Nc
lntire, who was at the bottom of most
OF the pyramids, was badly bruised
about the body, but went home feeling
good after a rub down.
Rossiter had a bad cash over his
left eye, which necessitated the taking
of two stitches to close the wound
He received the cut from the foot of
one of the Georgia men as he was
thrown head over heels over the line.
Harmon had two ribs Slightly injured,
but will be all right in a day or two.
Mcneil was badly bruised about the
body, but beyond a little soreness will
suffer no inconvenience for the next
few days.
Capt Cope's injuries will keep him
out of the game for several weeks.
The rest of the team came off with
out a scratch.

POPULAR MEDICAL DELUSIONS
An Old Family Physician Tells of
Some of His Experiences.
From Tit Bits.

Tradition and superstition, 1t Is said,
century, the age of education and pro-
gress, it is surprising what erroneous
and delusive ideas prevail regarding
medical matters.
In some of the more common all
mems of children a doctor hears at
times peculiar views expressed. Many
patients are quite under the impress
sion that it is for their children's well
fare that they should contract while
young such diseases as measles, whoop-
ing cough and chickenpox, or glasspoX
and they Will even go so far as to ex-
pose them to infection SO as to, as they
express it, get it over and done with. J"
AS matter of fact, there is no rea-
son or necessity why any child should
suffer from any one of these disease.
Happy is the family that escapes from
them, for then there is a chance of
the youngsters growing up healthy
men and women and useful members
of society.
Most erroneous ideas prevail as to the
effect of these complaints of childhood.
/ have often heard it said, oh, it's
only measles!" or chickenpox, as the
case may be; quite obivious to after
effects. Any one who would take the
trouble to read health statistics would
soon be convinced that measles es-
pecially is not to be trifed with. And
yet medical men, as a rule, find a reck-
less disregard for isolation, and in
many cases not even the precaution of
calling in the family doctor the re-
suit being, naturally, that the disease
spreads at it's own sweet will and Of
ten works havoc.
In the treatment of this complaint
again, decisions and erroneous ideas
exist among a large number of the
community. Tradition, so it appears
to mo, is more prevalent with regard
to measles than almost any other chill
dren's disease.
A remedy that has been handed down
from mother to daughter for I don't
know how many genera tions is saffron
Now, what effect saffron has upon this
particular fever no doctor knows. Ger
tainly there is no peculiar element In
It's composition that makes it a neces-
sity. When one remembers that SAT-
from is merely a dye, principally used
cOmmerc ially in that role-and that 1t
possesses no medicinal value-one fails
to understand why it is so universally
used. The only thing to be said in its
favor is that, while being useless. It
is harmless.
A favorite addition to saffron is

CAPTAIN COPE INJURED
IN FIRST FIVE MINUTES.
Merry Captain of the Blue and
white Played in Intense Agony.

Nervy Captain of the Blue and
White Played in Intense Agony.
One of the greatest exhibitions of
nerve ever seen on q football field
was that of Capt. Cope of the blue and
white eleven. He played through the
entire game while suffering the most
intense pain from a fractured collar
bone, received in the first five minutes
of play.
AS is his custom Capt. Cope was
right up in the mix up in the first
scrimmage, and when the field cleared
away he was stretched out, and seemed
to be badly hurt. He was carried to
the side lines, where an examination
was made by DR.. Walter Norton, and
It was thought after the first exam
ination, that the collar bone had been
broken When he heard the doctor
say this, Capt. Cope said, Don't tax
SO loud, l don't want them to know
but when he walked back on the field,
after having his shoulder laced in, 1t
was perceptible to every one that he
was almost helpless. All of the muscles
In his shoulder were paralyzed for the
time being, and he could not raise
his hands to receive a punt. In this
condition he urged his h1en on, and
passed the ball without a word of COM
plant, though his face was drawn and
pain was expressed in each line. Sa-
vannah could not afford to let Capt.
Cope quit. Quarter is the one posi-
ton on the team for which there is
no sub
After the game, DR.. Norton made
a more careful examination of the in
1ured shoulder, and found that the col
lar bone had not been broken, but
only fractured. 1t was put in laces
and Capt. Cope suffered little from it
last night.
DR.. Norton said that the injury
would keep Capt. Cope out of the
game for some weeks to come. This
means that he will not be able to play
in the Thanksgiving game against
Jacksonville, which will be a serious
blow to the team. Harmon will prob
ably be put at quarter, and Colquitt
will take HarmOn's place.

GEORGIA WANTED TO
PLAY LONG GAME.

When the final arrangements were
being made for the game, Capt. Cope
asked that only twenty minute halves
be played, but Capt. .Ketron objected
to this, insisting on thirty minute
halves. A compromise was finally
reached to play the first half thirty
minutes and the last fifteen.
Yesterday was the last game that
Georgia will play before the annual
contest with Auburn, and Coach Dick
inson wanted the men to play a hard
game of as long duration as possible
to test their staying ability. 1t was
also figured in the Georgia camps that
Savannah would suffer by the lengthy
halves, as the men were not in good
training and could not last. Savan-
nah was in as good shape at the finish,
however, as she was at the start.

FISHES DO GO UP HILL.
An Angler Gives His Reason for
That Belief.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-

crat.
Fishes have more sense than they
are credited with having" said an old
angler, land my experience has taught
me not to put much faith in the state
ment that they only know things from
the vibration due to concussion. 1
think they reason in some way or 9TH
err. don't know just how it is.
It am satisfied that nature has not
matter of giving fish intelligence. Be
sides, 1 know that there eyes are fat
and they can see but very little.
suppose the eye of the fish is worse, if
anything, than the eye of the reptile.
But taking all these things into con-
sideration, 1 am convinced from little
things l have observed that the fish is
a pretty wise member, and that he at
least knows what is good for him when
he is confronted by the blunt issue of
surviving or not surviving. Why is
it that a fish always founders toward
the water. That's the point l have
in mind, and it is the one fact above
all others that has convinced me that
the fish has more sense than we
think. l have never seen fish that
would not founder toward the water.
Il know two answers will be made to
this suggestion. one is that there is
generally a slope toward the water,
and that hence the force of gravity de-
termines the direction of the fish's
movement. And the other is pri-
mary reason-the matter of instinct,
as distinguished from reason. These
explanations do not satisfy me. In
the first place 1 reject the theory
which makes a difference between in
stinct and reason. l cannot tell the
difference between the attributes, so
much are they alike. In the second
place 1 want to tell you that l have
seen fish floundering up hill. Why?
Simply because they were forced to
founder up hill in order to get back
into the water Does a fish know
anything about the direction and dis
lance? l think so. I-have seen them
lump and founder up hill, inch after
inch, until they got back to the edge
of the stream out of which they had
been jerked. 1t may be what some of
the writer's call instinct but to save
my soul l can't tell instinct from
what we are accustomed to regard as
reason in higher forms of life"

Sick Headache.
From Good Housekeeping.

From GOOD housekeeping
Migraine or sick headache is a pecu-
liar and well-defined affection, beginning
in early youth, often hereditary, oc-
curing with noticeable regularity, ac-
conlpanied by vomiting and sometimes
disturbances of sight, hearing, and SEN
sation; it affects chiefly one side of the
head, lasts one to three days, and
has well been likened to epilepsy; it
is sometimes called bilious headache,
though in no way related to disease
of the stomach or liver; in fact, 1t Is
very much sensory outburst calied
enilepsv; and the frequency with which
we find both diseases in different men,
hers of related families cannot be ex-
planned by coincidence.

REFEREE AND UMPIRE GAVE
GENERAL SATISFACTION.

The officials who acted during the
game gave general satisfaction, and
the game was remarkably free from
kicking or foul playing. Mr.. Frank But
Ter, who formerly played on the Geor-
gia team, acted as referee, and per-
formed his duties most acceptably. DR..
Craig Barrow olficiated as umpire and
Mr.. r. c. Harrison acted as timekeeper.

State system Of public roads appropriates
$500, 1000 annually for that purpose. The
Commissioner of Public Roads is en-
powered to designate highways which
connect the county seats of contiguous
counties by the most direct route to be
maintained by the State. The bill
further provides that joint meeting of
Boards of Freeholders whose county seats
are to be connected, may be called to APP
prove the designation of State roads
where any one county may disapprove
of the proposition. A supervisor to be
appointed By the State Road Commits

THOUGHTSON THINGS

Norway wants a divorce from Swe-
den. And sad phase of the case is
that South Dakota is unavailable.
Governor Baily of Kansas, long cor.
sidered an incorrigible bachelor, has
finally succumbed. Yes, you guessed it
right the first timt-she is a young
widow.
English medical men are imploring
the London business men not to adopt
the American quick lunch system.
Possibly they think it has an inextric-
able association with mince pie.
The women of Kansas are again be-
sieging the Legislature for the right of
suffrage saving that they prefer it to
the worship of men. From what we
have seen of Kansas woman suffragist o
we should think it would be easier to
give them the ballot than admiration.

Firemen Celebrate Possession of
New Hose Wagon

Firemen Celebrate Possession OF
New Hose Wagon
The formal presentation and delivery
of the new hose wagon was made to
Humane Engine Company Last Monday
night by Mayor Reed, who in clever
speech turned the cart over to the
company midst the cheers of the boys
and their friends.
Before the speech, however, Ir)rer
spirit for the reception was acquired by
march about town, feature which
had been arranged by the committee,
and which met with the endorsement of
all who were invited to be present.
The Madison Cornet Band was at the
head of the procession and played good
music throughout the march. In the
line were Chief Fox and his Assistants
Ambrose and Tiger, Mayor Reed and
members of the Fire Committee, dele
gates from the other Companies and
almost the full membership of Humane.
At 730 the boys started from their
rooms and went directly to McCollum's
stables where the new vehicle had been
stored. Of course, possession was at
once taken of it, and the act was the
signal for enthusiastic cheers and a
radiant display of red lights.
After the return to the Hose House a
repast was served by Day aud the min
utes were RECALLED by clever talks from
officers and members of the Fire De-
partments.

After the talking had ceased it was
noticed that Doctor Lewis, former
active member of the comp my, and
still active in it's many pleasant features,
had removed his coat, and rolled up his
sleeves, as il he was in an operating
room and preparing for a surgical
operation. When asked what he was
about to do, he replied that he was get
ting ready for an old fashioned virginia
reel" and ''hoe-down." There was not
dissenting voice, and soon many coats
were off, sleeves turned up, and about
twenty couples were just "hoeing il
down." This feature lasted until the
small hours of Wednesday morning
when the firemen went home.
