HIS TWIN GIRLS.
How Two Boyish Names Were Cor
rupted Into Feminine.

How Two Boyish Names Were Cor
rupted Into Feminine.
When, after the successive advent Of
four daughters, twin sons were born
to Professor Shave of Candy Academy,
he was proud father indeed. The two
sturdy babies received the names Of
Darius and Richard, which the profes-
sor explained to his friends were good
names, historic names and family
names all at once, and had besides the
advantage Of suggesting good nick
names or none-a thing always worth
considering in the naming of boys.
If Richard should become Dick, why,
Dick was as satisfactory as Richard /;
and Darius probably would retain its
classic entirety, but If it did not, what
could it become but Dare? Dick and
Dare-could there be more manly, at
tractive, picturesque nicknames for a
pair Of fine boys?
Alas for the good professors hopes
1t is as impossible to calculate what
nickname his mates will bestOw on a
small boy as where lightning will
strike.
Richard did not become Dick nor Da-
rius Dare. A big boy at school prompt
ly discovered that Richard Shave sug-
gested 'Rickshaw, which at last became
Jinrickshaw, which in turn was cut
down to Jinny-and remained there
Equally unexpected was the fate Of
Darius. There was in the boys class
girl much larger and older than he,
named Maria, whose stupidity kept her
with the little ones. Darius and Maria
are names easily confused when quick
ly spoken, and the two were constantly
answering the teacher in each others
stead. So perhaps it was merely nat
ural that they should presently be
known as Big Maria and Little Maria.
Little Maria" and Jimmy" the pro-
fessors boys remained through pri-
mary, grammar and high school, and
well into their college days. They ac-
cepted their feminine cognomens cheer
fully enough; but it was long before
their father became reconciled to the
inquiry from teasing friends:

Aurora Road Shows What Electric
Rapid Transit Can Accomplish.

The Aurora, Elgin & Chicago Railroad
has shown the world the marvellous pos
sibIlities OF long distance electric trac-
lion. The story of this unique project is
a tale OF success from start TO finish.
Fortunes have been made by the men
who had the courage 10 break away from
precedent and do something that the rail-
road world said could not be done
Over this fftyseven mile line full trains
are run al speed that sometimes reaches
ninety miles an hour. Ladies on the cleo
trlc cars wave a swift good by to the
passengers on the two steam roads which
run parallel 10 it, the electric cars going
by so fast that the steam cars seem not
10 move at all.
This road was built in the face OF

They laughed and said the electric road
would get no patronage worth mention
ing, that people would not dare TO ride
at such a speed, etc. etc. They were not
good prophets, for we now have the
ery-day reality Of success beyond the
widest dreams OF the electric roads best

It's fullest capacity. and the trains con-
tain as many cars as The engines can

running not one serious accident has oc-

The Aurora road has been the greatest
money maker OF any electric project ever
foated. making rich men out OF some who
had but nominal fortunes at the outset.

road today that II pays interest on Sc

How the Hopi Indians Came to be
Called Mouuis.

To those few in the outer world who
ever heard of them at all they are
mostly known as Moquis-tbis through
the publicity gained by their annual
snake dance. But "MOqui" or " Mo-
XII" is a misnomer. Hopi is how they
would have us know them-beeause 1t
is right. and because it means some
thing to them and is justly symbolic
Of their racial characteristics. Peace
ful-gentle is its signifeanee-and the
worst word they know to apply to an
offender is ka-hopi-the negative OF
Hopi-or pas-ka-hopi, the superlative
of this; and any one as bad as this Is
hopeless. Moki in their language
means dead, and the accepted theory
of its first application to them as a
tribal name is that the Navajo, their
long time enemy. in spirit of dirision
so called them on account of their DIS
taste for warfare. and love of quiet
stay-at-home life. According TO the
Navajo code they were "dead ones"
From the Navajo, whose country en-
tirely surrounds the Hopi, the early
traders and settlers acquired the word
Moh before ever seeing the Hopi;
and from the trader it easily passed
without question to the government
representatives, so it now stands as
the official appellation in the Indian
department. But ask a Hopi is he is
a Moqui-his quick resentment will
be convincing enough.-From "Hopi
Indians: Gentle Folk" in The Crafts
