language. He says that 1t means standing Cane. being compound .of the two words, koni, which, he says, means young cane." and hika, which means "standing." so that koni-hika, contracted into Konika or Konecuh, means Standing Cane" This will never do: as I am now proceeding to show. I do not find in any of the Choctaw literature, accessible to me, any such word as koni, meaning young cane": nevertheless, I believe that there is such word and that 1t means young cane; because Professor Halbert says so. So far. so good: koni means young cane." The diniculty comes in with the second half of the word. Hika does mean standing" If is true: but, except in connection with a personal pronoun. which imports the notion of plurality, it Is always used of a single object standing off by It. self. If more than one thing is rep resented as standing" in cluster. or group. the right word would not be. hika, but hell or hielj, or hiohmaya. lessor ~Halbert; for he has himself elsewhere carefully explained the diff ference in meaning between these words--namely, in the Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society, Vol. :, pages 73.7s. He has. in the pres ent case, rushed to his conclusion with out stopping long enough to think. His, examples are too long to quote here. One will be sufficient: Tuili in Choc- taw means "a rock" Tulli-hika means single standing rock" Tulli-heli means standing rocks" more than one,
 It follows that Koni-hika. contract ed into Konika or Konecuh. can only mean "a single stalk of young cane" standing alone and aloof, like the "sol- itary fir -tree' in Heinrich Heine's fa- nous little German poem. or like "the lonesome pine" in John Fox. Jr.'s lat est Kentucky story, ''The Trail of the Lonesome Pine." Ho. all ye dwellers in Conecuh County! in. seeking the etymology of your county and river name, what went ye out for to see?- a reed shaken by the wind? Surely not. Surely the long and beautiful Conecuh River. flowing between banks. covered of yore with dense cane- brakes of gigantic cane (Arundinaria gigantea). could never have been nam ed by the Choctaw Indians of the old- en time from single stalk of mutton

Neighbors had heard a man call at the schooIrna sta,s. i. house at ten o'clock at night to ask him to render assistance to poor person living on .ne outskirts or the village. but owing to stranger.

Suspicion fell m Cournayre. who. after a trip to ParIs bad returned to the district a few days befora and instead of calling on his father ana relatives as would have been natural had tried to conceal himself The night before this crime, bakers establishment was act fire to- and. while most of the villagers hastened to help to put 1t out Cournayre was seen sealing the wall of a wealthy farm proprietor at the opposite end of the village, and was. driven away only by the barking of the dogs.
 When arrested he denied having been in the village at the time. which only increas- ed the suspicion against him. This was strengthened by the discovery that he had which the match found in the corpse seem ed to have been taken. A third piece of evidence was found in some clothing. After he committed the crime ik was supposed that he had changed his clothes and thrown his trousers into the River AlIier. Some time after his arrest these trousers were fished out of the river. and though of the legs had been cut off. he was compelled to admit that they had belonged to him. He alleged that he had thrown them into the river in August but wit nesses had seen him wearing these trousers in September. Cournayre was looked upon as a bad character in the district Ever since his arrest he denied having committed the crime, and during the trial listened with indifference to the charges against him. He was found with a considerab bla sum of money after the crime. and could give no account to how he obtained it. The jury, on the circunfstantIaI evidence produced. found him guilty. The sentence of death against him is the first that has been pronounced since the Chamber of Dep uties voted that the death penalty should be restored in France.

order to save space and avoid tedious ness, only two shah be given here: one taken from the Creek. the other from the choctaw.
 ssrhe Bird Tyhil KinGv.
 On the right bank of the Tallapoosa River not far from the present village of Mount Meigs, in Montgomery Coun- ty, Alabama. there was, in Indian times. a Creek town named Foos-hatche, which means "Bird- Tail,r being a com- pound of two Creek words, Fooswah, which means "bird," and natche, which means. "fail," as Col. Benjamin Flaw kins has carefully explained it in his sketch of the Creek Country" The name of the Micco or principal chief of this town was Foos-hatche-Mi Micco. To the white traders and other white men who frequented the Creek country, he was known as 'the Bird-Tail King" To the celebrated treaty of New York. concluded in i790 between the Creeks and the United States Government, his name is appended in these words: 'Tooshatche Micco or the Bird-tail King, his mark" Here, then, ia the name of a town derived from part of a bird, and not from the whole bird.
 Tn what was originally Choctaw ter- ritory, namely. in the northern part of Choctaw County. Alabama, there is a creek. flowing into the Tombigbee River, called Kinterbish. According to the tradition which has been handed down from the early white settlers in that vicinity. Kinterbish means ''Beav- er's Nose" This traditional explana- tion is confirmed by the etymology; for In Choctaw. kinta means beaver" and ibish means '.nose," so that kinta-bish means beavers nose." Here. then, is a creek named not from from the whole animal. but from part only. Thus my friends objection vanishes into thin air. s

cane. standing remote from its fellows. which some prehistoric bear. coming out from neighboring swamp, might have bitten of at one nip, and thus forever destroyed all connection be- tween the signihcation and the thing signifed. So Professor Halbert'ssven- turous conjecture. that Conecuh means standing cane" falls to the ground with dull thud. as the newspaper re- porters are wont to say.
 The burden of this beautiful exam pie of reduction ad absurdum must rest on the broad shoulders of my learned friend.
 I shall have something more to say about the meaning of Conecuh In an- other communication shortly to follow this.

nv w. q. VIVIAN.


 During the dog-days of last year, Professor K. S. Halbert of the Depart nent of History and Archives. in a tommunication published in The Ad- kertiser. called in question my -expia- patton that the Indian name, Conecuh, means "Pole-cat Head" and proposed pne of his own. The weather was toe hot then to dabble in Indian etymolo- gies. Now the weather is cool. and seems to call for a cool examination of his two contentious.
 1 Before proceeding to blow up my kriend with his own bomb-sheli, wish 10 say tAat there is no man living on this side of the Mississippi River. who knows more of the Choctaws and their language than Professor Halbert. He has lived with the Choctaws, has de- voted many years to the study of their history, traditions. customs and lan- tguage; and must be regarded as a learned pundit in everything that ap- spertains to this interesting tribe of ,Indians. But he has been browsing so Hong In this Choctaw paddock, almost exclusively his own. that. like Jeshu- run of old. "he has waxed fat and kicked" Tn point of fact. he some times kicks so high that he overlaps himself and falls on the other side of the fence. mean to say that, exult- ing in the pride of a rare and peculiar kind of erudition, he sometimes be- i comes rash and venturesome, and jumps too hastily to his conclusions.
 First--He says that Dr. wyman's explanation that Conecuh' means 'Pole- cat Head' must fall to the ground; be- cause by the Indians mo part of the body or anatomy of an animal or bird is ever used in forming a town or local name." He is mistaken. He has rushed to his generalization from too small an induction of particulars. The Indians did. in fact, sometimes name a locality from part of an animal.

 Paris. Jan. s--"Chantecler' really does exist. The first act does. at any rate. for 1t has been read by M. Jean Coqueiin, at the Porte St. Martin Theatre to the compa- ny which will play it. For the sake of all. save those Parisians to whom nothing the1 atrical in Paris is foreign. the history of the piece, if the piece really exists in en- tirety. must be recalled After the success of 'IsAigion," following that of "cyrano de Bergerac," M. Edmond Rostand announced that he was at work on another play in verse, "Chantecler."
 Since then. every week or so. year in year out, Parisians have heard either that the play was finished or that tt was not actually even begun, or that it had been destroyed, and not a soul, except the author himself and his wife. presumably. and pos sibly M. Constant CoQuelin and his son Jean, really knew how matters stood .'Chantecier'' has become e byword, and teo, 1t has been parodied dozen times al- ready. Now there is proof positive that the first act. at least, Is ready. The plot is still . secret. but the characters have been known for years. They are all birds of the air and beasts of the field. and the hero is chantecler; to Do. of course imper- scenes Is laid in . farmyard.

Dori- val who has majesty. the great Barn owl. and ringieader of the birds conspiracy; and M. Jean coquelin the watchdog.
 It Is easy to guess that M. Rostand has gone back for his inspiration to ancient folk lore such as the Roman du Renard, or which Brer Fox is the modern descendant, but he does not seem to have introduced Reynard in person. The company, to whom the first act has been read, say 1t is mag nificent, splendid, sublime" but vouchsafe no further information. The production. deferred for five years or so.

 Opposite a school described as 'relig- ious institution" near the Pare Monceau. lives lady. said to be charming The blinds of her windows seem to be oyer-transpa- rent. Anyhow. the boys in the school were in the habit of construing the AEneid with only one eye on their .VirgiP' and the rest upon the iady's window. After some weeks Of contemplation the class unanimously de- puted student named sergius. aged fif- teen. to write her the following letter. ''Mademoiselie. the boys of the fourth form. having gazed upon your charms daily, ven- ture to acquaint you with their desire to contemplate those charms more closely, and request the favor of an interview" The lady was virtuousiy indignant and sent the letter to the headmaster.

Counsel for the headmaster asserts that the latter has right to expei any boy he chooses.
