WHERE STATES GOT NAMES.
Nearly All in the Union Derived Them
From the Various Indian Tribes,


The word Delaware. which sounds
like an Indian name and has been
transferred to tribe of the aborig-
ines, as of Norman English origin,
being first given to bay and river
from Lord de la War;, governor and
first captain general of Virginia. 1t
was later applied to that portion Of
that colony set off from the eastern
shore of Maryland. which became the
next to the smallest of the states.
Florida, the land of flowers, was SO
named by the discoverer of that re-
gion, Ponce dc Leon, because of it's
f1oWery appearance and also because
he landed on what the Spaniards
call "Pascua Florida" the feast Of
flowers, falls on Palm Sunday.
Georgia, which adjoins it, is of Eng
lish origin, having been named by King
George II. in his own honor. Idaho Is
from the Indian, meaning the gem of
the mountains" the appropriateness Of
which is apparent.
Illinois comes from the tongue of the
aboriginies-"Illini." meaning men, and
the French suff1x "ois," meaning tribe,
giving the full significance, "band Of
men," Indiana is direct derivative
from the name which Columbus be-
slowed on the people he found on the
continent he discovered when he be-
India and called the people Indians. A
company of traders bought tract Of
land lying along the Ohio river from
the Indians and called the region In
diana. A county in Pennsylvania was
named in the same way.
The name Iowa is also OF Indian ori-
gin, the meaning of it being sleepy
Ones" or "drowsy ones" which the
people of the state say does not apply
to them. Kansas was the name of an
Indian tribe Of the Sioux family and it's
derivation is said to some from "kan-
osas," meaning willow"
Kentucky in the Indian tongue
means "the dark and bloody ground"
a designation deemed especially appro-
pirate by the original white settlers be-
cause Of the many deadly conflicts will,
the tribes which held the region. An
other meaning Of the word is said to
be "the prairics," which would not ap-
ply as we'll to that state as to those
north Of the Ohio river.

Fenian Leader Dead.

Colonel Thomas +. Kelly, the Te-
nian leader. who helped to make his
tory in England. in 1867. died in New
York on February S. Such was the
secrecy surrounding his death and
burial that none outside Of his ilnme-
diate relatives and friends knew that
he had passed away. In order to
avoid a public funeral his widow pre-
vented even tho publication of IL death
notice. For more than q. quarter OF Il
century Colonel Kelly had been em-
ployed in the custom house, and IL was
through ono of his colleagues there
that the news became known.
Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasy
were arrested in Manchester England,
September is. 1867. on the charge OF
treason-fclony in connection with tho
Fcnian conspiracy in ireland. Two
days later, while the police van was
conveying the prisoners from the
court house to the Jail, IL band of Tc-
mans attacked it. One Of the F'c-
mans. in blowing open the lock. killed
Police Sergeant Brett. Many men
were arrested, some sent TO penal scr
vitudc for the murder OF Brett, and
three Allen. Larkin and O'Bricn. were
executed.
Colonel Kelly was born at Mount
Bellew County Galway. ireland, in
1888. lie came to America at an curly

outbreak of the civil war he entered

be no question whatsoever that the
tenants in question fought hard and
suffered most. cruelty, but the result
of their sufferings has been the de-
thronement of landlord power in Ire
land and the complete triumph Of
those principles for which they so
n,anfully strove.

cation is at present directing the at
tention Of the Estates Commissioners
! to those districts in which there are
untenanted lands which can be made
available for distribution among the
people under the compulsory clauses
of the act Of last year.
The organization takes the deepest
interest in having the fullest and most
minute inquiries made into those
cases which have been rejected by the
Commissioners with view to have
them opened for consideration, and The
organization and the Irish party are
both using the powerful leverage at
their disposal to facilitate the REIN
statement of the evicted tenants with
the greatest possible dispatch.
In some future letter I hope to deal
with the question of the cvicted ten
ants on the Vandcleur estate in County
Glare and also with reference to the
work which is being accomplished on
different estates throughout the
country in the matter of providing
homes for the wounded soldiers OF the
land war.
l have only to: say that Nationalist
Ireland has always most gratefully
acknowledged the splendid assistance,
both moral and financial, given by our
kinsmen in America to maintain tho
national organization and the irish
party, and the foregoing few particu-
lars of what has been done for one
class, and the most deserving class of
the country. goes to show the results

Secondhand Criticisnn.

Criticism seems to grow in power
to hurt in direct proportion to its dis
tance from the original source. II Is
dangerous enough at its best, when
spoken face to face in love and tact
fulness, but when it becomes second
hand and reaches the one criticised
In an indirect way, it has usually
lost in it's love and gained in its sting
during the journey. We cannot control
the criticisms of ourselves that reach
us in this tholghtlcss or cowardly
fashion; but we can see TO 1t that we
never have any part in thus hurting
others. Two simple rules will insure
this: Resolutely refuse to pass on a
criticism Of another that has come to
our ears; il we have any criticism of
our own to make, make it directly to
the one needing it., and never mention
It to another soul. Sometimes VIC shall
find that If we forbid ourselves second
hand criticising, the criticism will not
be made at all.

yond our reach forever? If the un-
spoken word is safe it may be also
| cruel. If it averts danger, it may
! also bring us loss. There is sell
fish reticence which is quite as worthy
of all good mems blame as inconsid-
crate speech. When the Psalmist
prayed. Set watch, o Lord, before
my mouth; keep the door of my lips" "
he was not asking to be made dumb,
but to be kept from evil. The un-
spoken word Of kindness never cheers
a sorrowing or discouraged friend.
The unspollen word of recognition for
good work done makes no warmth and
raises no ideals in the workers heart.
Because the tongue is a fire, shall 1t
not warm because we must not let it
burn? How often we take love and
loving service for granted, giving it
none Of the recognition it deserves;
only to wish that we had been more
just. when the opportunity for recogni-
tion slips away from us. With many
Of us, outside our special narrow
circle of work, the power of cheerful
kindly words may be the one talent
meant for the profit of our Lord and
the blessing of our brethren, which we
hide or suppress at our peril. The
unspoken word is Il narrow and often
selfish sense, may be safe; but saf fer
and wiser is the word fltly spoken
which is like apples Of gold in pic
lures of silver"

The Unspoksn Word.

The unspokcn word" the men say,
"is the only safe word" 1t is true,
of course, that the unspoken word is
often ungenerous and insincere. There

to call back utterances which have es-

mindedness to make trouble and do
harm. But is there one who would

FAMILY REUNION.
Former Audrain County People
Celebrate Together.

The following article taken from
the Sun Of Chanute, Kansas, will
interest many MESSAGE readers in
this county, the persons mentioned
formerly having lived here;
The departure of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. II. Hollenshead for their home
in Centralia, Mo-, yesterday, ac-
companied by his sisters, Mrs. G.
w. Edwards and children of Olus-
tee, Okla, and Mrs. John ReynoId
aud little daughter, who will join
Mr.. Edwards in Kansas City, for
a visit in that city after which they
will return TO their homes, marks
the breaking up of the first family
reunion of the Hollenshead family
MIR. Hollenshead came here
about two years ago, after, selling
his farm in Missouri, to visit his
daughter, Mrs. Neil II. Asbury, on
his way to the Oklahoma country
to purchase a bunch of the cheap
land, which his son.in.law, Mr..
Edwards, who is a well-known real
estate man Of southwestern Okla
homa, was anxious for him to Sc
cure. He made a visit here and
looked over Chanute very carefully
and then went on to the south.
After a careful investigation of
the localities be saw in the new
state, he came up to Centralia,
Okla. and made deal for three
pieces of property in that little
place. Then he came on up to
Chanute ana bought the large resi-
dence of Mr.. Higbee on south
Evergreen, and the 200 acre farm
of 4. p. Bodle, just southwest of
the city. He was so we'll pleased
with Chanute that his largest in.
vestments were made here, as will
be noted.
Another advantage was that he
was then about half way between
his old Missouri home, where one
son and q daughter were married
and living, and his two daughters
in Oklahoma.
This made 1t possible for the
large number of sons-in- law,
(Messrs. Edwards, Ashby, McGee
and AndersOn), to get to the old
home Though a new one) in Cha
mute. The entire family were
present except John Reynolds, of
Hedrick, Okla, who was unable to
accompany his wife miss Pearl
Hollenshead that was) who was
forced to come alone.
9. w. Edwards, besides being a
live real estate man, is one of the
best croquet players in the west.
He is a genuine expert and
made rare fun of the rest of his
brothers in-laws, for their inabili-
ty to play well enough to interest
him. But they each are determin.
ed that the next reunion at the
home place will find them able TO
hold their own, and are threaten
ing TO practice all winter in order
TO do so.
II. H. Hollenshead, while here,
was informed that a deal in which
he was interested for a large Sec
ton of a big stock ranch in Texas,
had been closed and he is now the
owner Of 480 acres of land in that
state. But he Is so we'll pleased
with the out look al. Chanute that
it may be he will conclude to locate
here, if he can make proper dis
position of his other interests in
Missouri.
The next reunion Of the family
is TO be held in at least two years
from now.
