PRoNoUNCING INDIAN NAMES.
Easy According to This Rule-Meaning
of Words

Did you ever try to pronounce an IN
dian name and then wonder whether you
had come anywhere near the correct pro-
nunciation! Try this rule Place a dash
after each vowel in the word and then
pronounce each syllable slowly. Note the
smooth flowing sound produced and then
gradually pronounce the SyllableS faster
until you get the entire word grouped.
You viii be surprised both at the ease
with which yOu get tie word and the ef-
feet i'll pronunciation. The most dit
tCut Indian name is readily pronounced
III this manner.
Nearly all Indian names of towns and
rivers have some particular significance.
The names of towns in Indian territory
Will perpctuate Indian history for centu-
rics, Only yesterday a new town was
named Neha. This is Creek word, and
means oil town. 1t was given to a siding
put IN on the railroad Il few miles south
Of MuSkogec in the new oil field.
We" in Creek means water. 1t is
found in many names i'll the territory
and the significance attaches to the re-
mainder of the word For instance, here
ter, the Wetumka means bounding wa
ter, and Wetumhka means bounding wa
ter. Both are towns on the Frisco rail
road. Wealaka, the home Of the Creek
chief, means falling water. WeCharta
means red water.
Okmulgce. which is the Creek national
capllal, means Ill creek Head OF power
aud the name was given the town of Ok
mulgee because it was the national CAPT
tai. Tallahassee conveys to the Creek
mind the same impression that deserted
village does to the English. 1t was the
name of town in the eastern home of
the Creeks and also town of that
name, or what was a town, is located in
Indian territory. There is an Indian
school there.
To the Creeks tn Ark nsas river was
Wecharta, because the water is red, and
Deep Fork was Hutchety Soofkey be-
cause it IS deep. The YerdiSris was Was
ere Hutchety because the Osages came
down that river and the Creeks called it
Dosage Stream" The North Canadian
was called Oklahutchey because it was
full Of sand. The village of Choska was
so called because Choska means post
oak, and around Croska post oaks grow
in great profusion.-KanSas CITY Star.

"BLEST BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to Be
Written

Not one in thousand of those who
sing that good old hymn "Blest be the
tie that binds knows the history of its
homely origin.
According to the Church Eclectic, it
was written by Rev. John Fawcett, who
in the latter part of the Eighteenth cen
fury was the pastor of poor little
church in Lockshire. England. His fam
lily and responsibilities were large, his
salary was less than 81 a week.
In 1772 he felt himself obliged to ac-
cept call to a London church. His
farewell sermon had been preached, six
wagons loaded with furniture and books
stood by the door. His congregation,
men, women and children, were in an
agony of tears.
Mr.. Fawcett and his wife sat down on
a packing case and cried with the Others
Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said:
"Oh, John, John, / cannot bear this.
know not where to gow
Nor | either" said he; nor win we
go. Unload the wagons and put every
thing back in its old place"
His letter of acceptance to the Lon
don church was recalled and he wrote
this hymn to commemorate the episode.

COLLEGE COWBOYS AT SEA.
A Job on a Cattleboat as a Means to
Vacation Abroad

Collaborating TO England is rapidly be
coming the summer outing which, accord
ing to the Travel Magazine, nowadays
finds favor with the collegian.
From early spring of the present year
shipping agents along the Atlantic sea-
board were deluged with applications
from the colleges for positions as cattle
men.
Every craft which in June put out of
Montreal, Boston, New York or Philadel-
phia with Il shifty cargo of steers for
the British market carried a delegation of
highly educated youths TO attend TO the
wants of the lOnghornS. Reservations in
the forecastle became almost as common
as in the first cabin area.
The romance in the idea of DOMINIC
corduroys and playing master to wild
western bullOcks may be cited as part of
the motive for the appearance of numbers
of collegians in the cattle pens tween
decks. Then, too, for many it was the
beef route alone which made wanderings
abroad possible.

Station a few years ago a test was
made OF board floors versus earth floors
for laying hens The test commenced
Nov. "A, and continued during the win

was rather expected that the board
floor would prove superior to earth
floor, but such was not the case There
were thirty-six hens of three breeds
on each kind of floor, and the hens on
the earth floor laid nearly 80 per cent
more eggs than those on the board
floor. It was found that the earth floor
was warmer during cold weather, and
this alone might cause the difference in
results. The only sickness of any kind
