The epfthet is said to have had its orr
gin in the following:
One of DelawTe's most gallant fight
ers in the war of the Revolution was q
Captain Caldwell, who was notorious
for his fondness for cockfghting. He
drilled his men admirably, they being
known throughout the army as ''Cald-
wells Gamecocks-"
This same Caldwell held to the Pc
culiar theory that no cock was really
game unless its mother was blue hen.
AS the months wore away CaldwelFs
men became known as the Blue Hens
Chickens" title which only increased
their respect for the old gamecock cap
tain. The nickname became famous
and after the close Of the war was ap-
piled indiscnminately to all natives of
the Diamond State.

Water In sne Kalahari Desert.

The bushmeu in the Ealahari desert
often live scores Of miles from places
where water comes to the surface.
During q certain part Of the year sharp
storms pass over the Kalahari, cover
ing the apparently arid region with tho
brightest of verdurs and filling for a
few short days the water courses with
roaring torrents. The bushmen know
how to find water by digging in the
bottoms of these dried up river beds.
They dig hole three Or four feet deep
and then tie sponge to the end Of a
hollow reed. The sponge absorbs the
moisture at the notion of the hole, and
the natives draw it into their mouths
through the reed and then empty it into
calahashes for future use.
The animals that inhabit such wastes
as the Kalahari are of course accus-
toned to living upon very small and
infrequent supplies of water. The Bech-
uana do not lead their cattle to the
drinking places oftener than ence in
two or three days. 1t is said that goats
in the Kalahari frequently pass months
without water.

Marriage Bells.

Charley Taylor and Gertie Cozine
We're married Wednesday evening at
eight o'clock, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. Weyrauch before
about sixty assembled guests. About
the same number of young people will
gather at the F. l.. Taylor home to-
night to give reception to the couple.
The groom is the son of F. L. Taylor
and has inherited all the strong
personality and characteristics of his
parents who have fought their way
through adversely to success. He is
honest, capable and thoroughly
reliable and holds the confidence,
respect and esteem of all his friends
and neighbors. He is industrious and
long headed and will make success
Of his future life if he continues in the
same strong. manly course he has al
ways pursued.
The bride is daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Cozine and possesses those
strong characteristics that makes her
leader among her friends. A leader
in her school work made her at an
early age one of the best teachers the
county affords. Her relations in
society have always been pleasant for
her happy, sunny temperament
bound her friends very close to her by
those common ties that recognize
strength of character ana one people
may depend upon.
After the ceremony was performed a
bountiful repast was served and after
we'll wishes and happy congratula-
tions, the guests departed leaving
many beautiful things as a
remembrance for the young couple.
They will go to housekeeping as
soon as the new house being built for
them north of his parents is completed.
