Origin of Veronica.

One of the most interesting of twist, ed names is the girls name, Veronica, which, by the way, is not so common as it's beauty entities it to be. You probably know the legend of how St. veronica wiped the brow of Christ on his way to Calvary, and how on the handkerchief a miraculous print of the Savlors face remained. This was the "verum ikon" (the true image) celebrated in Christian legend, and the game Veronica bestowed upon the saint was simply an anagram of those two words

POOR ADVERTISEMENT.

Our town offers especially strong inducements to men with growing fas' lilies who want to raise their chiA-rsn in the atmosphere of the saloon; nc town offers better opportunities for ed ucating the youth in the habit of drink ing; we boast of ten saloons, one on almost every corner
 No one ever saw an advertisement like that and never will, says the Kansas City Star. There is not town in the world that bases it's prosperity on the number of it's rum shops. Will lages, towns and cities advertise their good points, not their bad points They have this and that opportunity for employment. The climate is more or less wonderful. The transportation facilities are told of. Good neighbors are valuable asset. The town has so many churches and so many schools. If it is without saloons, that good point is made much of as an appeal to men and women with families to come there. But if it has saloons there is never a word about it! That Is hidden, covered up"

"CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP"

(By Sidney Warren Mase) God gave the rose it's crimson hue, And made the lily white; He made the violet of blue, And all things fair and bright; The rainbow with it's varied tints He painted in the sky, And Man by sundry schemes and
 hints
 Has profited thereby. The vernal glow of leaves and grass And ruddy gleam of flowers That in the springtime come to pass In this bright world of ours. Are tokens of the master plan Of One who rules on high And bear a message unto Man To build and beautify. And so the moral of this verse, We feel is very plain: This earth, though burdened with a
 curse,
 Was founded not in vain; Which is the simple reason why Men live and strive and win Who build and paint and beautify The world they're living in

The American Calf,

Deer hunters are forbidden to kill fawns in most American states. There are laws to protect the baby seal Game fish under a certain size have their lives insured by official regula- ton. How does it happen, then, that the American butcher goes on slaugh- tering the American calf slashing at the throat of the nations meat and dairy supply, without audible protest from any quarter? The heifer calls place in our system of table economy is not matter of guesswork or the, ory. The calf that is eaten as veal never develops into beef. nor can it continue the race of it's valuable kind. It is a contention of experts that a very definite reason for our dwindling beef supply is the unrestricted slaugh ter of very young ers.-Philadel. phia Telegraph.
