! MoNTRosE. Ark. July 15.-An un
identified negro shot and mortally
wounded Marvin Watson, station
agent here. about 2:5O o'clock this
morning, when Watson demonstrated
with the black for singing at the sta
ton, to the annoyance Of others. Az
ter firing five shots, the negro, with
a companion, escaped and later in
the morning fired upon the conductor
OF freight train as it was nearing
Dermot. The conductor was not in
jured but the blacks escaped again.
Watson was hurried to Little Rock,
and it was learned tonight that he had
died, following an operation. A bull
lie pierced his body just above the
right hip.
The two negroes came to Montrose
yesterday from Lake Village, where a
picnic was in progress, and spent the
night lounging near the depot. The
blacks became noisy and insisted up
on singing. Watson paid little atten-
ton to them until about 2:30 o'clock
this morning, when he went to the
platform to fix mail bag, to be taken
up by a fast train.
"You fellows are making too much
noise," he called to the negroes, as
he started toward the mail crane.
With an insolent reply, one of the
negroes pulled revolver from his
pocket and began firing. He shot
five times in rapid succession. and
Watson fell to the ground.
The negroes then disappeared in
the darkness, and when, a few mo-!
ments later, townsmen reached the,
scene, there was no trace Of the
blacks. Later they boarded a freight
train for Dermot, and when the con-
ductor attempted to put them on they
fred three shots at him. None Of the
shots took effect.
The man who did the shooting Is
described as being n mulatto, shout
IS years old, Eve feet, six inches tall
md wearing an overall suit. His COM
oanion was black, about five feet ten
inches tall and wore black trousers.

Where America Was Named.

finally bestowed the name America"
on the newly discovered land. A vol
ume was published at st. Die by Ma
this Ringemann under the title of In
%troducto Cosmographioe," suggesting
that the most appropriate name for
the new country would be America"
A group of savants who were the
heads of the Vostien college of ST.
Die met in the now famous house and
agreed that America was the most fit
ting name by which the new world
should be called. This was on April
%, 1907.
Columbus died in 1906. Amerigo
Vespucci survived the great navigator
six years. Vespucci was a clever pilot
and after his arrival on the new
shores he put forth the claim that the
glory was his-he had discovered the
mainland, while Columbus had only
landed on the islands. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that his merit a~ssuredly
was secondary he quickly gained
widespread fame, as an account of his
voyage and exploits was the first to
be published.
st. Die is a quaint old town situated
on the two banks of the River Meurthe
at the foot of the blue line Of majes-
tic mountains which is so admirably
described by Jules Ferry. The house
which harbored the men who selected
the name America stands today as
rugged and strong as it did in the
early part of the fifteenth century. To
approach the place" or square, where
it stands one has to traverse narrow,
circuitous streets, pass under pictur-
esque arcades of pinkish gray stone
which the brush of time has softened
into a beautiful opal coloring, when
one finds himself suddenly in the e n
ter of a wide. open space. The eye
quickly alights on a placard which is
fastened on a rather broad, low
building. This tablet records in a
few words the Importance of this his
torical edifice.
AS st. Die has played such an i'm
portant role in the history of America,

sem an address to ex-President Roose-
welt, begging him to attend their big
celebration on April 25 in honor Of
the naming of the new world. Unfor-
tunately the arrangements that had
Already been made could not be l.

SYNOPSIS.

Richard Derring, returning from a win
ter In the woods TO his mothers farm
home, is overtaken by his uncle, accom-
panied by his eccentric wife, coming to
pay a visit at the farm. Aunt Jerusha's
questions about Emily Hutton, supposed
TO be behring's sweetheart, reveal the
fact that she Is to marry another. Disap-
pointment stimulates behring's ambition,
and under the advice of Seth Kinney, a
hermit of the woods, he resolves to fit
himself for college. Kinney teaches him
Greek and he passes his entrance examin-
atoms t~riumphantly, winning the approx
al or the professor. -Four years In college
oblterates the memory of Emily. Derring
begins journalistic work in Chicago,
where he meets Helen Gordon, an artist.
Derring is promoted TO art critic on his
paper. Helen refuses to marry him and
hamper both their careers, but they en-
ter into a companionship compact. Helen
suffers Ill effects from sketching on the
lake shore in January. Illness brings her
into closer relationship with Richard.

a small fortune. Derring returns to Chi

fore he slept. He had thought, as he
walked, of two or three young men
whom a word from him might help to
better positions. He must not miss
his opportunity. Life was short. He
longed to bring happiness to the
world.
He fell asleep, planning for the
coming day. 1t seemed strange to
look forward to the morrow with any
thing except a sense of dull endur-
ance.
When he wakened he could not, for
a moment, account for the feeling that
Weakened with him. Like a child, half
awake, he CROPPED in memory to recall
the gift that yesterday made him so
happy. Then it came to him. 1t had
not failed him. 1t was not a passing
mood. He was awake, alive, in a
world full of beauty and love.

CHAPTER XIX.

The morning sun was streaming
into behring's private office. Two
young men were waiting for him.
They had come to consult him about a
piece of work in the slums.
Derring himself kept out OF slum
work. He always answered, when
pressed to give himself to 1t, that he
had no call that way-and a man
needed a very strong call or a great
deal of cheek to thrust himself I'M
asked into a mans home-eVen
though the home happened to be a
poor one. A mans castle might be
only one corner of a room, but 1t was
his castle still, fortified by all the
laws of identity and individuality.
For himself, Derring declared, he had
not the courage to invade 1t. If a mar
had a genuine call to the work, let
him do it and thank the Lord that
called him.

The Overland
The King Of Cars
No other car has so large a sale-none has
made such amazing records. Price, $1,000 up.

It requires four factories, employ
ing 1000 men-turning out 40 Over
lands daily-to meet the food-like
demand for these cars. Yet two years
ago a hundred rivals had a larger
sale.
The reason lies largely in the cars
utter simplicity. It's able designer
made it almost trouble-proof.
He created an engine which, for
endurance, is the marvel of engi-
neering.
He designed the pedal control. One
goes forward or backward, slow or
fast, by merely pushing pedals. The
hands have nothing to do but steer.
A child can master the car in ten
minutes. A novice can drive 1t a
thousand miles without any thought
Of trouble.
The Overland always keeps going.
and almost cares for itself. All the
usual complexities have been elimi-
mated.
That Is why each car sells others,
and our orders for this years Over
lands amount to $24,000,00

He went down to dinner with an
eager interest. Everything had be-
come transformed. Men and women
were no longer machines wound up to
run through a definite term Of pain,
and calling on his sympathy and help.
They were divine-capable of the
highest happiness. He felt like leap
ing, exulting, crying aloud in fulness
of joy at the beauty of life and human
kinship.
"Derring was more like himself to-
night than he has been for years."
remarked an elderly man to his COM
panion as Derring passed from the
room where they sat smoking after
dinner.
The speaker was a quiet, thought
full man with observant gray eyes. He
was the only n left of those who
had been in the house ten years be-
fore. "He always used to be like
that" he went on, full of life and a
kind of magnetism. He drew you"
Derring passed out of the house and
down the street, walking with swift.
eager feet. He felt cords of sympathy
drawing him to those he met. He
walked until late at night, seeking out
the busiest streets and pressing in
close among those who thronged
them. He was intoxicated with hui
mainly and the Joy of life. He must
come close to it. He vas thrilling
with a sense of exultation-all this
living, surging crowd, capable of per-
feet development of the divinest Joy!
When he returned to his room, he
did not retire Immediately. There
were letters that must be written be.

NAMING OF AMERICA
House Where Savants Met Still
Stands in France.
Book Which Inspired Columbus Writ
ten in ST. Die, Where the Fa-
nous Conference Was Held
in 1907.

Paris.-Few Europeans, or Ameri-
cans either, realize the historical i'm
portance Of the little town of st. Die,
In the province of Vosges, France.
Not only does it contain the house
wherein sat the savants who decided
to give the name America" to the
newly discovered continent, but it was
In this same town that a book was
written which was the incentive that
led to the discovery of the new world.
In 1410 a Frenchman named Pierre
daily wrote a book called Image
Mundi" ( The Image of the Uni
verse"). This book was read and
meditated over by the great naviga-
tor, Christopher Columbus, and first
gave him the idea of seeking the un-
known land.
Pierre daily was born of poor par
ents in ~Compiegne in 1889. He be-
came a priest of the Roman Catholic
church and by his own merits rose to
the exalted position of cardinal. In
his work, Image Mundi," daily sus-
tanned the thesis that the whole world
was habitable and inhabited and, &C
cording to his belief other lands ex-
listed which were as yet unknown in
Europe.
How could one get there?" he
asked.
From a Spanish port under a IA
vorable wind" was his answer.
This statement, however, was mixed
up with many ~extravagant opinions
often impracticable and fantastic, but
these very e~xtravagances Of thought
stimulated the imagination of Column
bus, who read and reflected over the
strange views put forth.
Savants have also shown that 1t was
a Frenchman's idea and his plan that
