If Should Die

If / should die tonight,
And you should come to my cold corpse
and say,
Weeping and heartsick o 'er my lifeless
clay
II / should die tonight,
And You should come in deepest grief
and woe
And say: "Here's that ten dollars that
/ owe,'
| might arise in my large white
And say, whats thats'
If ] should die tonight,
And you should come to my cold corpse
and kneel,
Clasping my bier to show the grief
you feel,
I say, if should die tonight,
And You should come to me, and there
and then
just even hint bout paying me that
ten,
/ might arise the while,
But ia drop dead again.

'OUR hundred and six years ago.
r. in 1907, this continent received
i it's name, America. 1t was
German scholar who decided
that the vast, newly found land across
the seas was old enough to be named.
He was the one man in the world with
the wit to see the possibilities of
continent named America and the only
one with such sense of sympathy that
it made his heart ache to see a half
grown country-almost big enough for
long trousers--running around unclas-
sified. The name of this unknown
great was FIR. Martin Waltzemuler,
who hailed from Freiburg in Breisgau,
and was professor at st. Die in the
Lorraine. Despite the fact that he gave
us name that is now a matter of ma
ti0nal pride and is liked by everybody
but those who come here from lands
of oppression to make over our rules
of liberty into regulations for unregu
lated license, you see no monuments to
Herr Waltzemuller His classic fea-
lures are not shaped in Parian stone,
nor does his intellectual and earnest
visage adorn the label of even mod.
erately good brand of cigars. Martin
Waltzemuller has been sadly neglected
and something should be done in the
way of presenting substantial mark
OF esteem to him, or, at least, to his
widow, if she has been left in want, as
is more than often the case with the
relicts of literary gentlemen.
In naming America, Martin went at
it in the regulation way. He wrote
book, which he called geography, and
in it he placed cute pink smudge and
labeled this America In his introduc.
tion, he said: "And the fourth part
of the world having been discovered
by Amerigo or Americas, we may call
it America. That was all, but the
name stuck like burr and now, more
than 400 years later, seems as fresh as
ever Martin certainly picked out
name that wore well.
Within the remarkably brief time of
two years, the English had heard of
the new name, America, of which they
were destined to take more defined
interest afterward. Sebastian Brant
was the first Briton to use the new

name. In his "Shipp of Fools" he
first spoke of America in English.
More than likely, he alluded to us sar-
castically, as English writers still do.
Herr Waltzemuller was abiding to
Americas vespucci, of course, when he
said, "having been discovered BY
Americas" His geography is now ont
of print, on account Of trifling mac
curacies in general detail He thought
it was about II miles from Boston,
Mass, to Tonopah, New, and that any
non-paralytic could throw dog from
San Francisco, CAL, to Pekin, China.
Subsequent exploration disproved these
ideas. THORNHILL.
