THE NAMES OF STATES.
Majority Of Them Were Handed Down
From the Indiana.

From the Indians.
Do you know why your state was so
named? Do you know that the majori-
ty of the states Of the Union were
named after the Indians? 1t is so.
See the list:
Ohio Is Indian and means "beauti-
ful;' Massachusetts, "about great
hills Utah, mountain home;" Texas.
from the Indian word teaches" which
means friends" Kansas gets it's name
from the Indians. and the word means
''smoky waters" The word Wyoming
comes from the Indian and means
broad Valleys" Nebraska. "black wa
ter" Missouri, muddy water" Iowa.
ACROSS" Wisconsin, rushing waters"
Illinois, from "Illini," which means
tribe of men," Kentucky, meaning "at
head of river" Oregon, from Ware
gan, beautiful water" Arizona means
''uncertain." because Of the desert land
where the Indians found game scarce;
therefore journey through that por-
ton OF the country was uncertain
New Mexico was named after Mexico
proper, and the word comes from
"Mexit' of the ancient Aztecs and
signifies "god of war"
The Indians call great lakes Seas"
and 'seas" in Indian is "Michigan."
Mississippi is named after the river
which is so called by the red man be-
cause Of its greatness in width and
length. The word means father of
waters"
The two DakOtas were so named
after the Dakota Indians, which at one
time embraced an immense tribe, all
the branches of the Sioux.
There are states which do not owe
their names to the Indians. California
is named after an imaginary island Of
Spanish romance; Nevada means
Snowy" Colorado is so named be-
cause Of the red granite and sandstone
rocks which are everywhere in the
mountain regions. Florida means flow

The proud and happy father,
Erect, sedate and strong,
Who takes the baby buggy
And pushes 1t along
1magines all his fellows
With jealousy are mad
Because he owns baby
That looks Just like its dad.
He feels that men and ladies
Must look at him and say,
my, what a fine procession
Is passing down this way!'
And then he steps up lively
And elevates his chest
Until he puts in danger
The buttons on his vest.
1t does not as he passes
Occur to him that some
Might point him out to others
With a derisive. thumb
Or say they'd bet cooly
Could they but read his heart
He'd rather see a ball game
Than push baby cart.

Moves on rs in n dream.
He thinks himself and baby
Present a charming team.

Are added to his flock

Not for the pleasant shock.
