Was Really Speaker"

1t was his power Of protesting that
in the first place gave the speaker OF
the British house OF commons his
name. For the early members were
not great at oratory and soon real
lied the desirabillty Of choosing a
spokesman with a ready tongue and
the courage to argue with the king.
Hence came the title Of speaker"
which was first given to Sir Thomas
Hungerford in 1876.

There is a lot of poppycock about

Derivation of surnames.

Surnames are not what they seem.
For instance, Lind is derived from a
Teutonic word meaning a snake.
The apparently quiet and harmless
surname Wren comes from a word
which denotes 'rapine" Fish. though
such an innocent name in appearance,
originally meant "impetuous."

that cannot fail to appeal to ev-
erybody, young and old. The

General Manager J. Geo. Loos is
the originator of the really

tically alone with determination
to afford patrons attractions the
most fastidious may visit with
out fear of being offended. Po-
lite and uniform attendants will
be found on every side and cour-
teous and obliging guides will

the committee in charge of the
carnival made no mistake in

best amusement institutions of

tirely new both in name and
character and possessing the
good qualities cleanliness and
merit, so rarely fond with
amusement companies of these

nights of splendor will be con-
Quoted on a higher plane than
any other similar exhibition of
it's kind and the most careful at
tention being paid to every de-
partment and no Objectionable
feature being permitted. The

Bunking Party For Seniors.

! Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Parish
gave a party at their home on
their farm east of town Tuesday
evening in honor of their broth
err, Walter Stallings, who is a
member of the graduating class
of the High school.
Of all the entertainments CIV
en- in honor of the class, this one
might probably be called the
most novel and could easily be
termed an "all night" party, for
it was long after daylight when
the crowd reached home. The
girls and boys chaperoned by
Mrs. Stallings and Miss Lille
Stallings, drove out to the farm
about s o'clock when the fun be-
gan. Dancing and games lasted
until 3 o'clock when "beds, cots
and pallets" were in order, but
from the report of those reach
ing home this morning, only one
eye was closed during the night
and that was Allen Martins. In
q game of pillow" after retir-
ing some boy substituted a shoe
which Allen raised up in time to
receive full in the eye, which is
IN bandage today.
Cream and cake were served
at II o'clock in the evening, and
a fine hot breakfast at daylight
was the last of the all night par
ty, the Seniors reaching home
this morning about 8 o'clock in
fine form for "exams."
