He Drew on Sight.

Mart Hoover years ago, when Kan
sas was not the cultivated common
wealth II has since become, had sent
a consignment of corn to commits
sion merchant in Kansas City. The
merchant telegraphed, telling the con-
signor: Your credit is $27.40. Draw
on me at sight"
But Hoover was mad. He had ex-
pected his money. and none came. He
felt he had been duped, and he treas
ured up the grievance. One time,
about six weeks later. the commission
man came to Hoover's town, got out
of the bus and started to walk down
the street. Hoover saw him and in
stantly drew his revolver and fired.
His eye was fairly good. The bullet
cut away the merchants necktie and
unfastened his collar.
Then Hoover put up his gun.
That's expensive shootin'." said
he, but reckon you're as sorry as |
am"
. What do you mean?" demanded
the town constable. arresting the gun
man.
He told me to-" said Hoover, sur
prised.

checked city man. II never did any
thing of the kind!"
You did," said Hoover. And draw
ing out the telegram, he read:

swarms of birds which eat so much
grain that they have become a nui-
Sance.
The few mules which draw the
plough and cultivator came all the
way from South America, while Eu-
rope and Cape Colony supplied the
sheep and cattle. One naturalist has
been bold enough to assert that mice
are natives of st. Helena, but his story
has been contradicted by others.
1t is truly a land Of contrasts. Walk
ing along a hillside you can pluck the
gorse just as 1t grows in Great Britain.
Go q mile further and you can pick
bananas and pomegranates as well
as dainties of the tropics.
Within a mile of the olive groves
are orchards of the hardy fruit of the
temperate zone, the difference in cli-
mate being caused of course by the
elevation. Every cottage has its flow
er garden for roses. geraniums, fuch-
sias and other blooms grow in the
greatest profusion, even In little
clumps of dirt which covers the bare
rock to n depth of only few inches.
When st. Helena ceased to be a
stopping place for the shipping bound
from Europe to India. China and Ja-
pan, another source of income to its
inhabitants ceased-the guiding Of
visitors to the place made famous by
the footsteps of Napoleon. His VIC
tors were good to him, for Longwood,
the estate provided as his home in
exile, is by far the most picturesque
and most fertile on the island.
Including Deadwood, its neighbor,
the estate contains 1000 acres The
new house which was built especially
for him but never occupied, stands on
one Of the most attractive sites and
from 1t magnificent view can be OBJ
tanned, but death came before Napo-
leon ever set foot within its walls.
Deadwood was the location of one
of the Boer prison camps, where $500
lived upon the twenty acres allotted
them for tents and huts, but at one
time fully 5000 of the soldiers Of the
veldt were among the inhabitants of
St Helena, where they carved really
wonderful things out OF wood, horn
and the bones of the cattle given them
for food.
At one time the island contained
fully 10000 persons. but since Great
Britain has decided to withdraw its
garrison, not more than third Of
this number remain and as before
stated the majority Of those who are
left are planning out how they can
get away from this lonely rock in the
Atlantic.

No CHANCES TAKEN.-A Glasgow

the waves sometimes sweeping her

sengers that there was no danger, and

would approach an officer and anx-
iously inquire Of he thought the ship
would founder.

"Oh, I'm not scared" the man re-
piled. but If the ship was going to
founder / wanted to know little

"Oh. wanted to tell your friends
goodbye and all that?"

PIPING FRESH AIR.-The piping of
fresh air To cities is no longer a dream
of scientists. 1t has been practically
tried. i'm an experimental way. i'm the
crowded Whitechapel district of Lon
don. under the supervision Of Dr. r.
&. Lyon. one of LOndOnS most emf
nent scientists. The air is sucked into
pipes by powerful suction pumps from
some high elevation where the sani
tary conditions are perfect and forced
into large storage tanks similar To gas
tanks. When stored in these tanks
under pressure. the pure air is dis
tributed in pipes leading into different
houses
The air can he distributed through
pipes upward of fifty To one hundred
miles in length without losing any of
its purity. BY opening switch the
customer gets his daily supply of fresh
air In his rooms. while the foul air
is allowed to escape through with
drawal ducts.
When once installed in Il city. the
supply of pure mountain ozone can be
supplied at little cost and the scien-
lists estimate that in the cungeSted
quarters of London fifty per cent of
the ordinary sickness could he moder-
ated if not entirely eliminated.

NIcKNAMES CENTURIES OLD.
They Were Necessary Long Ago to
DISTINGUISH Johns From Williams.


Almost every child has a pet name
or a nickname which has sprung up
in the family, and comes into daily use
much oftener than the real name set
down in the family Bible. John and
William, Susan and Elizabeth are diff
ferent from Jack and viii and Sue
and Bess, as a city ball Is from a
country dance, and the children them
selves never stop to wonder how these
odd little names found their way into
the household.
1t may seem strange, but 1t Is new
ertheless true, that about the year
1900, nearly one third of Englishmen
were named William or John, and
from this it will be seen that pet or
nicknames were real necessities to dis
tinguished SO many people Of the same
name from one another. For instance,
Will was a different person from Will
mot or Wilkin or Willcock, and there
might be a half dozen Johns about the
place, but as long as they were called
Jack, Jenkins, Jennings, Micklejohn or
Littlejohn, 1t made no difference.
Nicknames are almost entirely con-
fined to names that have descended
from that day to this, for we still talk
Of Bob and Tom and Dick and Jack.
These names were brought into Eng
land by their Norman conquerors and
ha al N
introduced in Cromwelrs time did
much harm. The Puritan names,
which came even later, if not biblical,
were usually borrowed from some vir-
tue. To this class belonged Faith,
Hope Charity and Love. Grace, as
pretty as it Is, was used for its out
ward form. Patience was male as well
as female. Prudence was great ia
vorite. becoming Prue in the 10th GEN.
tury and Prudential in the 18th, while
in the 18th century we have Prudy,
a little New England diminutive.
Sometimes names Of sorrow were
used: Tribulation and Humiliation
were considered perfect ones. An un-
fortunate holder of the last name de-
termined to retain it in the family, so
il descended from generation to gen.
Grafton. These old-time Puritan
names were very harsh. and today one
hardly ever hears them. No one In
deed would like to be called Live-well
or Fare well or Do-good or LOve-God
any more than they would prefer such
names as Tribulation or Lamentation.
When the monarchy was restored the
old names Of William and John and
Henry and Richard with many others
of Norman origin came back with all
their authorizations and twistings. and
today we could almost publish die
tionary of the pet names and nick
names which cling to our English and
American children.-Boston Herald

Many orchards are peing planted
at Hazelwood, and before long large
part of the former big ranch will be
solidly planted to fruit trees.
Profits from vegetables are scarcely
less attractive. An experienced Gel
cry grower who recently secured 10
acres, states Il regard Hardwood
land as being specially adapted to
celery, onions, cauliflower cabbage
and potatoes. I believe that $500 an
acre gross receipts may be expected
from land devoted to these vegetables
at Hazelwood."
Dewberries, raspberries, black
berries, Strawberries, ETC., will be
other profit making features.
Located as it is within a short drive
of Spokane, with it's 100000 people,
Hazelwood need seek no distant mar
ket for anything raised on its fertile
irrigated acres.
It's far cry from bunch-grass prai-
RE, worth only few dollars an acre
for grazing purposes, to orchard and
gardens that yield from 5000 to $1,000
and more per acre per year, but the
big Hazelwood ranch is now undergo

Hazelwood soil is fertile and of
