The Longest Word.

What Is believed to be the longest
word to be found in any dictionary
one that leaves even German and
Dutch hopelessly out of it-may be
turned upkin Liddell and SCOTS lexi-
con by those who can read Greek
characters. Those who cannot may
be content to know that this word
which begins "lepadotemachoselacho
galeo," proceeds in like manner
through 7S syllables, and counts ITO
letters in all. OF course, no ancient
Greek ever used such word as this
in ordinary conversation It is com.
ic word invented by Aristophanes for
rhythmical delivery in one of his
plays and means a dish compounded
of all sorts of fish, flesh, fowl and
sauces, which are enumerated in the
word The most ingenious English
translation of 1t yet suggested is

, county, Iowa. There he resided until
1881, when he came to Ford county,
Kansas He first settled at Spearville,
living with his mother and sisters. In
February, 1888, he moved to Dodge City,
where, with the exception of shori
time in Beaver county. Okla, ne has re-
sided ever since until Tuesday morning,
June Is, 1909, when he took his depar-
ture to return no more.
John Slaven was ali honest man, a
good citizen and loyal friend Although
he never joined a church he was quite
regular in his attendance upon public
worship IN the church. Recently he told
his sister that he had determined to join
the church He said II he had felt well
enough to attend the last communion Sc
vice he intended to have joined then.
He was baptized in infancy. During his
last brief illness he told his sister that he
WAS trusting Jesus Christ as his savior.
Such conf lence is not In vain. His fa-
ther died in 1866, and the mother passed
to her reward about four years ago,
March 2, 1905. Two brothers and one
sister have preceded him In death. Four
sisters and two brothers survive to mourn
his departure. A host of other sincere
friends will truly mourn the loss of such
life
The funeral services were conducted
from his late residence, corner of Avenue
A ana Vine street, Wednesday afternoon.
A mixed qnartette from the Presbyterian
church furnished the music Rev A.
W. Cummings of the Methodist church OF
Dodge City conducted the service, speak
ing briefly concerning the life of the de-
ceased. He introduced Rev. j. W,
Crouch, chaplain of the Soldiers Home
at Fort Dodge, an old friend of the fam
lily, who preached brief funeral sermon,
using as a text Job v.2S: "Thou shalt
come to the grave In full age, like a
shock of corn cometh in, in his season" !"
A large number of friends attended the
funeral and paid loving tribute TO one
who stood very high In the estimation of
those who knew him.
The body was taken TO Spearvlle on
Thursday morning where interment was
made beside his mother In the family lot
Rev. VIM Kirkpatrick of the Spearville
Presbyterian church conducted the burial

"They say that Horace wrote his

"Who? Horace Greely? Never

"No, no-the other Horace, who
comes from antiquity"
"Never hearn tell Of him, ner the

Practically all the streams in Kansas
were named by Indians and carry those
names to this day, though in an AnglI.
cized form.
The Neosho, the largest stream in
southeast Kansas. has its own little
story. The Usage Indians at one time
lived In Missouri, and when they began
talking Of trading their lands in that
state and moving to southern Kansas a
party was sent out to look the country
over and make a report on II. It was
In the summer time and very hot and
dry. Coming over the prairie northeast

travel without water.
when they arrived at the river, {"
said an Oswego man, IAN Indian rode
down the sIopIng bank into the water.
But to his surprise. the horse stepped
right on into deep water, and the horse
and Indian went in all over. AS the
aborigine clambered back on the bank
ne muttered, 'Wugh Neosho' This in
plain English means water pocket. or

stream ever afterward. "-HutchInso

The practice OF hiding money In all
manner OF out Of the way corners is
By no means modern. In the old days,
according to "GIeanings After Time"
secret receptacles were often made in
the bedsteads and contributed both to
safety and romance. On Aug. 81. 1885,
Richard III. arrived at Leicester. His
servants had preceded him with the
running wardrobe. and IN the best
chamber Of the Blue Boar a ponder
GUS four post bedstead was set up. It
was richly carved, gilded and deco
rated and had q double bottom OF
boards. Richard slept in It that night
After his defeat and death on Bos-
worth field It was stripped Of its rich
hangings, but the heavy and cumber-
some bedstead was left at the Blue
Boar. In the reign OF Elizabeth, when
the hostess was shaking the bed, she
observed piece Of gold OF ancient
coinage fall on the door. This led to
q careful examination, when the double
bottom was discovered, upon lifting
portion Of which the interior was
found to be filled with gold, part
coined in the reign Of Richard III.
and the rest Of earlier times.
