WHERE NAMES CAME FROM
Student OF Languages Traces Begin
ming in Old Observation-Disclosures
Wers UneompIimeatary.

Once upon time given names were
the only names in use. One was Tom,
Dick or Harry, and that was all there
was about it. Our present eurnamee
arose from nicknames. Thus Tom the
Tailor became in time Tom Taylor and
his descendants used Taylor as the
family name. The most familiar OF
our surnames were taken from the oc-
equations Of our forefathers, as
Smiths, Bakers, Brewers, etc. Many
men, moving to new towns, had the
name of the place from which they had.
come fastened upon them. Others took
names like Pope, King and Bishop,
from playing those parts In plays.
Hogg and Bacon are simple. Purcell
developed from pourcel, meaning little
pig. Calf and Grice are old dialect
words OF the same meaning. Tod
meant Fox, Fitchie was polecat, and SO
the keen student of language traces
the beginnings OF our names In the.
old dialects. Some of the nicknames
were originally distinctly uncompli-
mentary, as Seely for silly, Cameron
for crooked nose, and Kennedy for ug-

TWO WAYS OF SEEING THINGS.

A robin and a sparrow sat on tbs
limb of tree, sheltered from the rair
which was softly falling, making every
thing green and sweet.
Il never saw such weather" said
the sparrow; everything will be wet
and the grounds muddy"
Il think it is NICE" said the robin;
Everything will be clean and the
whole country will be green"
This weather is too hot" said the
sparrow; 81 do not like it."
"Ohi l like it." said the robin; ''the
corn will grow and the cherries, too.
Do you like the cold weather." he
asked the sparrow.
NO" replied the sparrow; that is
the trouble with this world; it is all
wrong; it is either too cold or too
hot"
why do you not go South, as l do,
when the cold days conner" asked the
robin.

sparrow. Now look at that sun shin.

TO LONG BAY
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Mother, don't let Sis go to the Bax-
ter's alone. She's so fiighty, she's
likely to land in Kalamazoo instead
of Long Bay"
Carolyn looked at her brother con-
temptuously. Just because you hap
pen to be a football pet doesn't give
you any license to insult your sister.
Mother, mayn't l go?"
So Carolyn triumphantly prepared
for her journey, and upon the day set,
her brother resignedly carried her bag
to the station, bought her tickets and
put her on the train to Long Bay.
Something will happen to Sis be-
fore she's day older or I'll miss my
guess" he grumbled as he left the
train. Hello, Charlie, where are you
bound for?" he called to man who
bumped into him in his hurry to catch
the moving car.
"Baxters-Long Bay" called Charlie
from the step, and in reply he caught
something of sister-same place-look
after" and the train was beyond.
hearing.
This is what actually happened.
Carolyn, armed with candy and
magazines and some unopened mail,
proceeded to make herself entirely
comfortable for the days journey. The
Pullman car had few occupants and
she spent several minutes in a brief
inspection.
The man across the aisle was young,
good looking, and, to Carolyn's pres
ent annoyance, evidently very much
interested in her.
The train flew on and she began to
tire of the trip. She began to resent
in earnest the half-smiling glances
of the man across the aisle.
'T1l go out and stand on the plat
form for a change" she fumed. So,
suiting the action to the word, she
sailed grandly down the aisle upon
adventure bent. She wound up in the
drawing room.
q wonder if that silly man is still
there" she unused, looking back
through her door.
Tickets, please" said the conduc-
tor, sticking his head in the door.
Carolyn had, in fact, forgotten about
hers. 1t was in her handbag inside
the big bag down the aisle. She arose.
tits back there. I'll get it," she said.
She went back to her old seat in the
car opposite the man she detested.
But there was no bag there! She
looked around. She was in the right
place she was sure-directly across
from the man. Then she spied bag,
her bag she was positive, half hidden
under the mans seat.
my ticket is in my bag and the
bags gone!" she declared to the con- !
ductor, never taking her eyes from
the bag across the aisle. Il left it
here few minutes ago"

of the Payette Valley

of the Payette Valley:-
The Citizens of Payette realizing the loss to our
surrounding community in the destruction of the
fruit CROP do most urgently impress upon our Ranch
ers and Fruit Growers take immediate steps and
measures to plant other crops that may be adaptable
to your local conditions and surroundings
And we are willing and anxious advise with YOU
and help you 10 the fullest extent and with that end
in view, submit herewith suggestions for your
earnest consideration with the desire assist you to
realize to the greatest whatever returns it may
yet be possible for you achieve this season.
The Idaho Canning Co., the Payette Vinegar
Picking Co, and Payette Merchants stand ready
and willing to assist in procuring seed and will buy the
crops when raised
BEANS
The soil and the climatic conditions of the Payette
Valley are ideal for the production of navy" beans
These beans when grown from Idaho seed have and
will produce from 600 lbs to 1900 lbs per acre in the
orchards which clean cultivated, and they
leave the soil in better condition for another year.
The market outlook for this commodity could not
be better the price already $500 per hundred
pounds and steadily advancing. With the limited
supply in sight, the demand will be sufficient to
maintain the price at $1,000 per hundred pounds
this Fall. This will give good profit above the cost
of the seed and care of the CROP
TOMATOES
This is crop which can be produced under
our climatic conditions any loose, loan SOIL If the
seed is planted now, the crop will mature in time
insure cash income this Fall.
The Idaho Canning Co. are offering to furnish
seed free anyone wanting grow for the
cannery, and willing contract for the crop at
$1,000 per ton, cash when the crop is delivered This
insures market that will good profit for the
time and labor invested.
CUcUMBERs-
The Payette Vinegar Pickle Co. offer to contract
for Five 90 of cucumber this season for their
factory.
This is crop which is more easily grown than
melons and offers good opportunity for those with
two for such purpose.
SWEET CORN
Last season there demand for considerable
quantity of sweet corn, in the roasting ear stage.
Express shipments made a number of different
towns and all that could be had disposed of and
the demand was not supplied. No doubt there
will be demand for this crop during this season. The
demand will probably be limited but no chances what
taken in growing this crop because all that
cannot be sold while in the roasting stage will Ike
valuable feed and will amply repay for all labor and
expense in growing it. There syet plenty of time to
mature sweet and suggest that it be planted
