DERIVATION OF NAMES,

The origin of some Indian names is
peculiar. In the early days of the gov
eminent occupancy of the Seminole
country in Florida a half-breed boy
frequented one of the forts who had
been named Ben by his parents. The
soldiers called him mister Ben" and
as the Indians could not sound our
words as the whites did the boys name
became "Bistiben" with them, and by
that name he was known through life
Up in West Virginia there is post
Office named Pocotaligo. The story is
that on one occasion some boys had
caught a turtle which they vainly
tried to make travel but he was stub
born, after the manner Of turtles, FL
nally they appealed to an old Indian
who had teen watching their efforts to
tell them how to start their prize to
travelling. His reply, given in the
clipped English so common among In
dams who knew something OF our Ian
guage was, Poke he tail-he- CO." and
/ that is said to be the origin of the
name of the postofice.
In Wisconsin there Is a town or city
which is said to have gotten its name
in similar way. noted chief was
exceedingly anxious for a son, but all
his children were girls. Finally an
other interesting event occurred In his
family. and after it was over a friend
Of the chief found him sitting by the
side of the wigwam in rather a gruff
humor. What is 1t this time2' asked
the friend as he came up: "Uh-She-
boy-agin," was the Disguised reply, and
Sheboygan is the name of a Wiscon-
sin city True, the writers on Indian
names give quite a different meaning
/ for the name, but they don't know 1t
all. ana we suspect the old story is the
true on4. Doubtless there are many
other names of places in the United
States that owe their origin to like
/ causes.

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1900.
DEPARTING GLORY h.

The spirit of modern iconoclasm 10
about TO smash all the romance out Of
another cherished memory. hallowed
by associations of the past. We al
lude to the little English island of st.
Helena, in the Atlantic Ocean. True,
It contains less than fifty square miles,
and has a population of less than 5000
people. True, also. that 1t has ceased
10 be a place of any strategic import
ance, as was once the case, and is
really of no more consequence now
than Is any other rocky spot in the
great oceans.
But St. Helena is historically and
septim ental1y important, for there, as
all know, the great Napoleon spent the
last six years of his life In hopeless
captivity. and it was there that he
died in 1921. AS the old song says:
Bonaparte. he's afar
From his wars and his fighting;
He has gone to the place
He can, never delight In.
The better part of a century has
come and gone since the great soldier
passed away, but the island has ever
since been a point of interest to Eu
rope and largely so to America. The
English government has maintained a
garrison there. and at one time 1t had
a governor on a salary as large as that
received by the President of the Uni
ted States, and who lived in almost
regal splendor. But the fat has gone
he fdt AM
that the garrison is to be Withdrawn
and the island abandoned as a mill
tary post, and that will be the end.
That garrison, as a contemporary ex-
presses 1t has been the life and the
mainstay of the island What will its
1000 inhabitants do without it? How
viii they make a living? They have
made 1t by ministering to the needs
of the military and the English set
tiers; there are no industries to speak
OF on the island. Its exports-hides.
skins and wool-amount to no more
than $sS,00o as against imports of over
s264.000 The natives can not go to
South Africa, for they will not be al
lowed to land without $50 in their re-
spective pockets. and $50 is wealth in
their eyes"
Sentiment stands no show against
the cold blooded materialism Of the
age. St. Helena. is no longer profit
able, and so 1t is to be relegated to OBJ
security. Not exactly that. either, for
interest In Napoleon win not pass
away soon and Napoleonic literature
will be read for generations to come.
1t may be abandoned as a military
post, but 1t will not die out of mem
DRY and history.

Next Years MUSCLE Festival.

thusiastic Montgomery musician yes.

this festival UP In right style and
advertise 1t extensively. it will be

should cost some money. 1t would be
profitable and advantageous to the
city In the long run. / would be IN
favor of getting Nordica here and any
others that might come within our
purse strings
There is no use in having this fes-
tival IL we are not going to get 1t up
in the best style possible and COM
mensurate with the enterprise of
Montgomery. would like to have
1t eclipse anything of the kind ever
held in Alabama as believe we have
more real music loving people here
than in any other city of the State.
The festival Is to be held at the
same time that the State music teach

sic' teachers association meet here in
annual session and, with all this COM
