Denmark ORIGINAL of Thule?

Was Denmark the original Thule, the
worlds end land of the ancients, be-
yond which lay only the Sluggish sea
pytheas of Massilia, who was about
contemporary with Alexander the
Great. is believed by some to have
referred to what we now know as Jut-
land by this name; but, as there is
nothing to show that Pytheas had
visited Thule himself, he was probably
rather vague about it. Since he seems
to have represented it as a land Of the
midnight sun, others have identified
1t as Iceland or even Greenland, and
the Thule of the Irish monks of the
ninth century A. d. was certainly Ice
land. But the Thule of Tacitus, which
lay near the Orkney islands, must have
been part of the Observation-Disclosures

A MODEST REQUEST.
Colonel Bill Sterrot and the Privilege
He Craved.

He Craved.
When Colonel Bill Sterret first went
to Washington to report the news of
the capitol for his Texas papers, he
had desk room in the Office of General
Fl. V. Boynton, then the militant cor
respondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial
General Boynton spoke out in meet
Ing He said things about statesmen
that made the statesmen angry He
had many personal encounters with
patriots whose feelings had been ruff
fed.
One night a man came into Boyn-
toms Office loudly proclaiming that he
intended to shoot Boynton. The gen
eral grabbed chair, beat the intruder
over the head with it, Knocked him
down and threw him out. All this time
Sterret sat at his desk, looking on 10
great amaZement.
When the man landed In the gutter
Sterret came timidly over to Boynton.
General" he said, being a new hand
here, don't know the practices of this
Office nor the customs that pertain to
Washington correspondents, and
didn't want to intrude. Now that L
have seen what has happened, l trust
you will allow me a question:

The Word Coulter"

Cutler" according to it's present use,
should mean a man who makes things
that cut, but really it has no more to
do with cut than "cutlass" and "cut-
let" have, which is just nothing at all.
"Cut" has some Teutonic origin, but
coulter" comes through French from
the late Latin "cultellarius," which
meant either a soldier armed with a
knife or knifemaker, and '.cultellus,'
little knife, was the diminutive Of
"culter," which, among other things,
meant plowshare or coulter" Cut
lass" comes from the same source, and
''cutlet' is "cotelette." little rib.
