That designation is sometimes APP
piled to Arcturus, bright red star
of the first magnitude in the constel
lation Bootes pronounced in three syl-
tables Bo-oh-teesl. the herdsman. Dur
ing May and June this constellation is
near the zenith and Arcturus is lit
tie south of directly overhead. 1t is
known as the wandering star because
for some reason unknown to astron-
omers, it is slowly drifting and chang
ing its position with respect to other
stars. Its change of position is not WIS.,
ible to the naked eye or from year to
year, but it has been noted by astron-
omers from the beginning of the Chris
tan era. Arcturus is the brightest star
in the northern hemisphere.
Who was author of the phrase, "HoId
the fort for | am coming?"
General Sherman. During the civil
war, in 1864. when General Corse was
holding a position at Allatoona, Ga,
against greatly superior numbers, Sher-
man signaled him, Hold the fort, for
am coming" and Shermans forces got
there. The phrase became popular
and Ira D. Sankey of Moody and San
key made it the text of an inspiring
hymn.
What are good rules for avoiding ac
cidents in boating or for action in case
of accident?
Don't go out in pleasure boat with
out being assured that there are cusb-
ions or other movable articles aboard
sufficient to float every person in case
of an upset canoe is far more dan
gerous than a skiff. All persons should
be seated before leaving shore, and
no one should attempt to exchange
seats in midstream or to put a foot
on the edge or gunwale of the boat to
exchange seats. Where the waters be-
come rough from a sudden squall or
passing steamers, never rise in the
boat, but settle down as close to the
bottom as possible and keep cool until
the rocking danger is passed. If over
turned a woman's skirts, if held out by
HeT 6AIeHUeu dIIllS, WuIle she uses AcI
feet as if climbing stairs, will often
hold her up while boat may pull out
from the shore and save her. A non
swimmer, by drawing his arms up to
his side and pushing down with widely
extended hands, while stair climbing
or treading water with his feet, may
hold himself above water several min
utes, often when single minute means
a life, or, throwing out the arms dog
fashion, forward, over hand and pull
ing in, as if reaching for something.
That may bring him in reach OF help.
If one in indorsing check or note
should write without recourse" does
this exempt him from payment if the
note or check is not good?
These words added to the indorse-
ment of a note protect the indorser
from liability to the indorsee and sub
sequent holders.

streets last night were oil hut desert

which holds undisputed sway in An

midnight was frozen so stiff one could

drained last night. plumbers will have

matter was reported to Bill (whose
