A Little Word Hunt.

ooh dear. what shall we do said
Dick at dusk. Tea time was half an
hour off and the children were sitting
around the fire.
Lets have a word hunt said
mother I've just been reading about
the queer ways some common names
start. Where do you suppose the word
army comes from.
''Give it right up said Little Billee.
promptly. The rest laughed, but they
had to give it up, too.
"It comes from a French word
meaning to be armed said mother
"And where do you suppose that 'bri-
gade' comes from p Tt comes from the
italian 'brigata,' meaning a company
or a horde, and the word 'brigand' has
the same source. And the word mill
tary itself comes from the old Roman,
for their miles meant the men who
had to supply a thousand men each
for the army.
where does soldier come from ?"
asked Sam.
From 'sclidus' an ancient coin with
which the fighting men were paid. It
dates back to the time when all war
riors were hired for the work. The
word artillery goes away back to the
latin ARGUS. meaning bow and 'arcuba-
lista.' which was a word coined in the
Middle Ages as a name for the cross
bow. The pr0jectileS known as shrap-
mel are named for the British general
ShrapneL. Pistol has a queer history
Long ago the village of Pistoja, in
Italy. was famousefor making daggers.
When the pistol was invented it be-
came known at first as a 'fst-gun' and
then the name of the dagger 'pistoja'
was given to it. The bayonet got its
name from the French town of Bay
onne."
Just then the tea bell rang.
Say, mumsey,' said martial Dick
who expects to be a soldier some day
that wasn't such a bad game"

MARKETS TODAY.
Wheat Is Steady at Opening on
Fair Demand.
Corn Is Dull But the UndertOme
Firm.
LIVE STOCK TRADE.
Cattle Business for Week Has
Been Good.
Prices of Hogs Close Five Cents
Above Last Week.
I'VE STOCK TRADE.

Chicago, March 31.-WHEAT-The
wheat market was steady at the opening
today on a fair demand by pit traders
and commission houses. Trading was
very light. Cables were somewhat higher,
but this was offset by the continued
favorable weather for the crop in the
United States. May wheat opened a
shade to &c and eracted to 77zsc. Mime
apoiss Duluth and Chicago reported re
ce1pts of 500 cars against "a cars for the
corresponding day last year.
Profit taking caused a slump in the mar
ket during the last hour, May declining
to TGT71sc. The close was weak with
May down 7a4ssc at 771zQ779sc-
CORfN-Ihe corn market was dull, but
the undertone was firm. The chief causes
OF the hrmness were higher prices at
Liverpool and small local receipts The
May option opened unchanged at 445ac
and sold at 445sc, where for a time it held
steady.
Corn declined in sympathy with wheat,
May going down to 44Ac- Trading was
the hghtest known for several months
The close was at the lowest point of the
day with May off 3zc at 4414c.
OATS-The oats market was steady but
tfadlng was exceedingly quiet, being
barely sufficient to make a market. The
May option opened unchanged at 302tc
sold at 305sd30zac and advanced to 307se.
VISIONS-PrOvisions were steady
but as in all other local markets at the
opening trading was very light. May
pork opened &c higher at Sf615 Lard was
unchanged at $S271s- Ribs were TIC
higher at $3.50.

this life and the burden of his affairs fell
upon my shoulders, L realized that If
there ever was way to get out from
under the great burden of taxation and
debt the only thing was to push To-
peka to the front, make it grow, to be

cured natural gas for this city, and am
