London as II Was.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates"
makes the statement that the old name
of the city of London was written
Lynden or Llyndin. meaning the city
on the lake" An old tradition gives
us to understand that London was
founded by Brute. a descendant of
Aeneas. and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time of Lud. who sur
rounded the town with walls and
named 1t Caer-Lud. or I.uds Town.
This latter is probably the correct ver-
sion of the story, If for no other rea-
son because 1t is an easy matter to de-
tect similarity between the express

The foreigner said whatever was

Here was a nice quandary for the

fearful thing to receive tree from
abroad. and yet the consignee was
capable of getting some one into very
serious trouble if he did not get his
tree, and he said he must have it with

Some one at the custom house scared
above the difficulty. The tree was sent
on to Stamboul on the Orient express

to Adrianople by the next train. and

The Niger in the Wood Pile

The republicans promised statewide
prohibition by constitutional amend
ment when they knew that in eight If
the twenty-three counties the candi-
date for both parties for state senator
were pledged against such amendment,
thus making it impossible to secure
the necessary two-thirds majority in
the senate. The hypocricy Of the re-
publican position is apparnt to the
most supplemented. The democr; S
have promised the people chance 70
vote on constitutional amendme It
giving them the initiative and refere IL
dun, under which the people can
themselves settle the liquor question
without the interference of the liquor
league or shyster politicians from eth
er side of the question. The PROPOSE
ton for statewide prohibition by con-
stitutional amendment is an issue that
is foredoomed to defeat. The initia-
tive and referendum is a measure that
will command support on its merits
aside from its bearing on the liquor
question, and can reasonably be eN
pected to prove successful.
