James Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago
and elsewhere, relates this story as
a true one: "a delegation from
Kansas once visited Theodore Roose-
welt at Oyster Bay when he was presi-
dent. The president met them. His
coat and collar were off, and he was
hopping his brow.
"Ah. gentlemen he said, delighted
to see you. Dee-llghted. But I'm very
busy putting in my hay just now.
Come down to the barn and We'll talk
things over while work.
''Down to the barn hustled the presi-
dent and the delegation. But where
was the hay?
James, shouted the president,
James! where's all the hay?'

worse than it did. One of the big tim
bers for the frame of the second story
fell, striking Mr.. Davidson on the
head and Mr.. Snider on the back,
knocking them both off the scaffold on
which they were both working at the
time, to the ground, a distance of
about ten feet. Mr.. Davidson escaped
with a scalp wound and the loss of
considerable blood, while Mr.. Snider
has badly injured back, as well as
several bad bruises, which kept him
confined to his bed for several days.

in the Basin and its closeness to this

w. l.. Harmon, the fire insurance ad-
juster, was in the city yesterday from
Butte. Mr.. Harmon states that the in

portion of the city will be reduced in
a short time While here he also rec
commended to C. M. Clary that he put
in fire wall about Is inches high on
the top of his new building along the
south wall of the Willard Drug store,
so as to ward off any fire from that
side, thereby greatly reducing his in
surance. He also recommended other
improvements along these lines, to
which Mr.. Clary will no doubt comply.

The Name America.

We are told that the name of this
continent was derived from that of a
gentleman who wrote about it-Ameri.
Gus Vespucius. His real name, how
ever, was Vespucci, and Vespucius is
the Latinized form of it, just as Amer
icus is supposed to be Latin for Ameri-
go. If the continent had been named
for Columbus it would not, in all prob
ability, have been named Christie
pheria, but Columbia. Why, then, if
Columbus was to be robbed of the
honor, is the land not called Vespucia?
The question, too, has been raised
whether Vespucci's name was Ameri-
go. One authority claims that it was
not. 1t is said tnat in a volume pub
lished at Milan only nine years after
the death of Vespucci his name is
given as Albertatio. It is, Of course,
possible that this was a misprint,
though such an error would be un-
likely to occur on title-page, even in
those days.
One unique theory is the name
America was not derived from YES
pucci's name at all, but that it came
from Celtic word, imrich, which
means to emigrate However the
name may have been derived, it is GER
tain to stand. The whole world, ex.
cept France, calls this country Amer
lea, and spells the name one way
This uniformity is true of no other
great country. Deutschland is Ger.
many to the English and Allemagne
to the French. England is Angleterre
to the French and Inghilterra to the
Italians. France is Frankreich to the
Germans and Francia to the Spaniards.
Espagna is Espagna to the Italians
and Spain to the English, and so on
But America is America, with prac.
tically the same pronunciation to all
the world, except France, where it
becomes Amerique.-New York Press.

Senator Albert B. Cummins had
been plotting a constituent around the
capitol building during a recent ses.
sion. Finally, having work to do on
the floor, the senator conducted his
charge to the senate gallery and left
him to wait.
After waiting for what seemed to
him terribly long time, the con.
stituent approached gallery door
keeper.
"My name is Dunlap" the visitor
said to the fellow, "and I'm goin out
ter git drink. l thought I'd better
tell you so can git back. I'm friend
of Cummins'.''
'All right" replied the doorkeeper
"but in case I'm not here when you
come back and to prevent any mis-
take, I'll give you the senate pass
word
In great astonishment Dunlap in
quired, whats the word?"
''Idiosyncrasy."
"What?"
'Idiosyncrasy," repeated the door
keeper soberly.
II guess I'll stay in," said the visi-
tor, IAN wait fer Cummins.'

"WilIow Plumes."

The w-plume-making industry
is only about five years old, but seems
to have come to stay. The industry
has grown enormously, and the largest
concerns devoted exclusively to this
business are in st. Louis, Kansas City
and New York. The number of expert
workers employed run well up into
the hundreds. Girls and women are
for the most part employed, as they
do the work more quickly and neatly
In making a willow-plume, the fibres
on both sides of the central stem of
the feather are trimmed to an equal
length, then, from another feather OF
corresponding size and color, the
central stem. The nimble fingers of
the operator picks one of the fibreS
from the pile and with a quick twist
of her skilful fingers knots the two
ends-the fibre on the stem, and the
loose fibre, taken from the pile-to-
gether, then ships off the knotted ends
so the knot is scarcely distinguish
able If the fibres are short, several
may be knotted together, and nothing
is wasted. Where but two fibres are
joined the plume is known as single
knotted plume; where more than two
knots are made, it is a double, or
triple-knotted plume, and where an ex-
ira large, sweeping plume is made, as
many as five extra flues are knotted
together In these knotted plumes,
several feathers, according to sweep
of the flues, are used. After having
passed through a thorough examina-
ton, it is curled and placed on the
market Many plumes are made from
the old, cast-off plumes, and if they
are skilfully knotted, they are as val
liable as the new plumes, and will
wear as well as new stock No mat
ter how worn, and apparently worth
less the old plumes, they can be reno
waited and made into thing of beauty
if of different colors, they can be
cleaned and all dyed of one color, and
any woman who has few discarded
plumes can, at a comparatively small
cost, possess one of those beautiful
creations, beautiful, durable and
shape-holding.

HOW HISTORY is DISTORTED
Russian Textbook Shows Curious In
stance Of TamperIna With
French History.

Reasons of church, state or other
policy have frequently caused tho
scholars Of one country to tamper with
the history Of another with which 1t
has been intimately connected. A
curious instance of such a distortion
OF French history was that found In q
Russian textbook, used in all Russian
public schools. and edited by a great
Russian scholar, Ilovaiski. The fol-
lowing may be cited as an illustra-
tion:
Louis XVI. was a good and peace
1ui King. After long and famous
reign, In which he was most happy in
MS cnoice Of minister Of finance, he
aieo quietly in Paris, beloved by all
MS people. His death was caused by
hemorrhage.
The successor of Louis XVI. was
his son. Louis XVII. During his reign
the brave royal army, commanded by
General Napoleon Bonaparte, captured
the larger part of the European con-
tingent for the French crown. But
the faithless Napoleon showed ten
dencies toward misusing his power.
and was suspected of harboring dis
honest schemes against the legitimate
ruler. With the help of his majesty
the emperor and autocrat of all the
Russias, his plans were frustrated, and
he was deprived Of all his possess
sions, honors, and rights to pension.
He was then exiled to the island OF
st. Helena, where he died."-The Sun
day Magazine.

George Ade Is student of the
whimsical facts of life and manners.
The following story is one of his
"A missionary in the South Seas
was much distressed because his
dusky parishioners were nude. He de-
cided to try in delicate manner to
get them to wear little more clothing
of some sort, so he left number of
pieces of scarlet, green and yellow
calico lying around his hut, thinking
it would surely appeal to their sense
of color.
"One afternoon an elderly dame
called for spiritual advice. Her eyes
rested on the calico enviously, and
taking up piece of the brightest red,
the missionary said: I'll give this to
you if you'll wear it,
"The woman draped the calico
around her like a skirt and departed
in great glee. The following day she
returned, nude as before, with the
calico under her arm. She handed it
to the missionary, and said, sadly:
ME no can wear it, muster. Me
too shy!'"
