ACCORDING TO THE LOCALITY
Nicknames Given Australians Vary
Depends on Which Colony He
Makes His Home In.

Nearly all my friends" remarked
an Australian the other day, call me
a CornstaIk.' I've quit correcting
them long ago
Now, as It happens, the term
should only be applied to the people
of New South Wales. They are the
tall, slim blokes, who look as though
you could break them in two between
your finger and thumb. | come from
the colony OF Victoria, where we are
known by the still more unattractive
sobriQuet OF 'Gumsuckers,' on account
Of our great forests of blue gum trees
Queensland is in the tropics. and
its inhabitants are called Banana Eat
ers. The South Australians are Crow
Eaters, because in times OF drought
the natives are sometimes reduced to
the use Of crows as food. West Aus
tralia occupies nearly half OF our
island continent, and nine-tenths of its
area consists OF a hot and arid des.
ert. For that reason the native born
colonists are known as Sand Crop
ers.'
so, call me a 'Gumsucker' II you
like, but never a Cornstalk.' and the
next time you want to apply a nick
name to al Australian ask him from
which colony he comes"

SucceaS.

Success Is like a building which
presents an engaging aspect to those
who view II from without, but has few
charms for such as are permitted to

altogether substantial. but when come

power the gift would give mankind to
see each his own success as others

be so vastly promoted that the perfect

II is not hard to understand why,
says a writer in ST. Nicholas, when a
book makes you laugh you want to
read 1t and to read it over and over
again. But 1t is rather puzzling to
find that one also enjoys reading and
rereading books that make one want
to cry. What can there be in us that
likes to be made to feel unhappy? In
real life we don't try to do things
that will make us suffer-not at all!
But there are books that you cannot
think of, once you have read them
without tears coming to your eyes,
and yet you will find that you love
those books perhaps more than any
other
To feel deeply is one of the best
things in life; and there. maybe. lies
the explanation of why we do love
sad stories. They make us unhappy
In a way, but they do not leave be
hind any bitterness or sense of per,
sonal loss. And they usually have a
special beauty of their own.

primary ballot according to the vote
cast in each precinct, but alphabetical

many county auditors nave the idea
that the precincts must be arranged

ception andNto correct the error Secre-
tary Hayward directs their attention to
the election laws. The section covering
the primary ballot is as follows:
9TH county auditor shall prepare a
list of the election precincts OF his
county by arranging he various town
ships. towns and cities in the county
in alphabetical order and the wards
