CONFUSING TO THE READER
Varieties Of Geographical Names In
Europe Apt to Prove Something
OF a Puzzle.

Foreign geographical names often
prove confusing to American read
ers because each European country
has name Of its own for each OF
its cities, rivers and other geograph-
ical features. Every other nation
has a different name for the same
thing. american biographies follow
the English in their nomenclature,
but often employ a different pronun-
citation.
For example, we call the chief Bel
gian stronghold and the temporary
capital Antwerp, while the Bclgians
and French call it Anvers. We term
another Belgian city Mcchlin, while
at home it is termed Malines. The
River Meuse is pronounced in Bel
GUM and France very nearly as we
would pronounce it, while the Ger
mans pronounce it as it if were
spelled Moysay, and the people Of
the Netherlands call it Mas.
Brussels is spelled Bruxclles at
home and the final is not pro-
nounced. Dendcrmondc, on the
River Bender, is pronounced Dan
dcrmond by its inhabitants, but it is
known as Termonda in most Of the
Biographies. Aalst is also spelled
Alost. LOuvain is Lcuyen at home,
Vienna is Wien and Client is Gand
So one might go down the line
1t is to be hoped that some day Tho
geographical societies will get to
gether and agree upon a nomencla
ture that will be universally adopted

WITH NAPOLEON AT THE END
Belgian Peasant Was Emperor's Guide
on That Memorable June Day
at Waterloo.

Certainly a place in history Is as
sured to Jean Baptiste Coster, who
was Napoleon's guide on the day Of
Waterloo. He was born at Louvain,
and was tifty-three when he did that
great days work The post did not
come to him willingly. He was cap
tured by the French and taken early
on Sunday morning to the farm of Ris-
son, where Napoleon had spent the
night
You arc to be my guide" said Ma
poleon, and after some conversation
1t was settled The battle began at one
o'clock. Napoleon was on foot, attend
ed by his aides-de-camp and Coster. He
took out map, questioned Coster as
to the roads, thought for some time.
Then he put the map in his pocket and
did not look at 1t again. The little
man stood until four o'clock, often say
ing in clear voice, 1T goes we'll"
Then he mounted his horse and led
his staff to the slight hill near La
Belle Alliance. There they remained
till seven o'clock, when Napoleon, look
ing through his glass, said: Il think
that ! see the Prussian flag" A gen.
eral replied: Il think so, too" There
upon Napoleon shook his head and
turned pale. AS they rode on to La
Haye Sainte a hail of bullets assailed
them. Coster ducked his head. But
Napoleon muttered: Stand straight.
my friend; ball can hit you as well
on the right as the left"
Then came the final struggle. The
duke of Wellington's men charged,
broke the lines, and set the French in
disorder

OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN
Mesopotsmia Boat, Known as kufa,
Known to Have Been in Use Be-
fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, curious circular boat
made OF basketwork, and seen no
where else in the world, is a COM
mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer
rymen charge only a cent each pas
senger. There is one good point about
these strange craft--they are not cas-
lily upset. Their carrying capacity alse
Is great, and the kufa men pack in
their passengers like -herrings in a bar.

says a writer in the Wide World. They
are made of date palm branches
woven together with rope made out of
leaves of the same palm, thickly plas-
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can
one see these curious craft, which
serve principally for the transport of
passengers, country produce and
beasts of burden across the river.
About three men are required to make
kufa of respectable size, and it
takes them some twenty days to build
1t. Like the kelek, the kufa is of
great antiquity, for both these strange
craft were in use long before the time
Of Christ The evidence of this is in
disputable, for on the bas-reliefs taken
from the palace of Sennacherib both
craft are clearly represented.

BLAZING THE TRAIL
AND SIGNS PUT UP

The automobile trip to Kilbourn
and return was made Wednesday
by Messrs. Wood, HaSbrouk, Tay-
lor and J. E. Gillespie.
They left here at 8 O'Clock in the
morning and wenf down on the east
side of the Wisconsin, river to Bar
num- Necedah and Kilbourn. They
conferred with interested parties at
all points along the route
They put up few temporary signs
and made note of otter necessary
places for permanent signs. The
distance from Grand Rapids to XIII
bCurn on the east side of the river
is about so miles while the return
trip Of the west side of the river is
10 miles.
The roads are fairly good both
ways. A little work ON both will
make either road excellent The
river scenery is beautiful and attrac-
tive and can be made one of the
most attractive routes anywhere in
central Wisconsin.
The business interests in Grand
Rapids should be active in makingA
these roads more attractive for
travel. Get busy.

into every nook and corner of the
country and wherever the fraternal
society Observation-Disclosures there the
results are plainly apparent, For the
fraternal society teaches good morals
it teaches industry and thrift, it
teaches patriotism, it teaches men to
do for themselves and it helps them
when they are unable to do for them
selves. 1t reminds hundreds of thou
sands of their duty to those who
may come after them and it helps

to one or more of these societies.
And that will mean less of charity

AN ESSAY ON MAN.
knocks

Some smart people call him biped
but this is a geological error.
He's just a plain everyday two7leg-
ged animal.
Man is found utmost parts of the
world.
He rolms at will, feeds in the day
time and sleeps at night Some
night"
He is very tame. You can go up to
him and put yourhandon him any
where so long as you don't put it on
his pocket book. Hehasunder such
conditions been known to kick.
He is like a dog; howls a good
deal and runs around atnight
Like an elephant he has trunk,
but he doesn't railways take it with
him. The elephant does.
AS to what man is really good for,
anthropOlogy is still in the dark.
Being strong he is used to draw pic
lures, carry news and pull revolvers.
He ia also fast and goes in the
human race.
Properly trained, man caan jump
higher than any other knownanimal.
He has even been known to jump
mountain resort board bills.
Altho in many ways man is like
other animals, in this respect he is
different from them all-he lies
standing up.

It is little use for the local editor
TO waste his lungs and sprain his

the citizens all stand around with
their hands in their pockets ana in

put their shoulders to the wheel and

He can write boom articles tll he

UNcoNFIRMED NEWS.

If newspapers printed only the
things that some public men think
they should print, they would have
little else but real estate trans
fers, marriages and deaths. At the
same time, whatever the convictions
of the Associated Press men who
heard President Wilson speak at
New York the other nightthey all
seemed TO applaud his plea for eau
ton in printing unconfirned news.
At the hight of the y elbow journal
ism movement, a host of papers new
er made efforts to distinguish be
tween rumor and factt. If there
was dispatch that the Japs had
landed troops on the Philippines,
they oburcked it in and denied it
next day in small type. More often
they did not bother to insert any
denial-unless dt had string in the
form of a possible libel suit.
