. KENTUCKY.--Thi word does not mean, as
Is commonly supposed, the Ozark and Bloody
Ground, though it was so termed by the
l9 N IAN In their own tongue, in consequence
OF the many sanguinary conflicts occurring
among them on Kentucky soil 1t is in all
probability derivatio from Kan Hukee, which
signifies bone EARTH" and is in consonance
with the fact that great quantities of animal
bones OF extinct species are found in various

.LOUISIANA.-When La Sale in his voyage
OF discovery reached the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, he claimed for his sovereign, Louis
the Great, all the country watered by that
stream and its tributaries, and called it in his
honor. The name has been retained by only
very small portion of that vast territory,
but 1T covers the spot where the column and
cross were planted in April, 1852, by the great
explorer.
MAINE.-The wife of Charles had already
been remembered in the naming of Maryland,
and as 1T was the design of those having
charge of the matter to pay still further
homage to that branch Of the royal family, it
became necessary, it seems, for them TO cross
the English Channel and make the new Ameri-
can province namesake of the French prov
mce OF Maine, of which the kings consort hap-
pened to be the landed proprietor.
MARYLAND.-Named after Henrietta Ma
ri"' "he VI Oharles OF England.
MASSACHUSETTS-This word is another
one of Indian origin, and according to some
authorities signifies "The Country of Hills"
while others maintain that "Blue Hills" is
the correct Interpretation.
.MlCHIGAN.-This is a word of Indian ORR
GIN, also, the meaning of which is Great
Lake. '-mchau, great, and saurisiegan, lake.
MINNESOTA is so called from the river of

Father of Waters" The true definition is

and "seepe," river.
MISS0URI.-Another river name given to

Water" or Great Murky Water" though
one authority pretends that the true one is

NEBRASKA;--This is a compound Sioux

NEW HANIPSHIRE.-Na for Hamp-

NEW JERSEY. George Carteret, part

NEW YoRK.-Named in honor of the Duke

NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA These
States were chartered as one colony by
Charles ii (Carolus), the division taking place
in 1929, and are named after him.
OHIO-The etymology of this word as APP
piled to the river, from which the State takes
its name has been in much dispute, but that
it is of Indian derivation there can be no
doubt. Parkman, the historian, was in pos

river is plainly called the Ohio, and on one
of them there is over the river is delineated,

and by action Of the Italian government,
which suggested to Mr.. Gorky that he must
exercise a little more prudence while acting
as the apostle of revolution. Italy has al

to Russia. campaign of this nature
some years ago prevented the proposed
visit of the tsar to Italy. Official circles
in the tsar's dominions at the time re-
garded the affair as insult from little
Italy to mighty Russia, and it seriously
embarrassed the negotiations then pending
for commercial treaty between the two
countries. Similar negotiations are now
proceeding, and the authorities have issued
orders that the Gorky propaganda
shall be kept within severe limits, as the
government is determined not to have its
action hampered a second time by anti
Russian propaganda in Italy. Gorky has
been watched by police and soldiers, who
have received rigid instructions to put
down any attempts which may be made by
the admirers of the Russian author to re-
sist the regulations laid down for their
guidance.

Belle Otero danced and dazzled her way
into Partisan fame nearly twenty years

on two occasions, the last time In 1897
Even her bitterest rivals acknowledged her
wonderful beauty.
La Belle Otero has had q remarkable
career. She was born in Italy In 1871 Her
parents were the Count and Countess
Carassow. She went on the stage when she
was eight years OF age and gained first dis
tinction while dancing near Madrid, when
she was abducted by secret agents of King
Alphonso XII, who spirited her of to his
palace. She was locked In a room but
forced window and escaped. When she
was twelve years OF age she met the Mar
