Omen Road to Autos.

The upper eight miles OF the ROAD
above Nisqually glacier was opened
to automobiles for the first time IN
1915. A portion of this road from
Nisqually glacier to Narada FaHs,
about three ano one-half miles, al
fords one of the most wonderful auto
mobile drives in the world, winding
as it does around the canyon at
dizzy height, the river silver ribbon

machines at the foot OF the glacier
| and then on every even hour start
them from Narada Falls, the ranger
at the other end sending the return
! ing machines back on the half hour
as no machines can pass on this
thrilling highway.
The season for going over this road
with machines is only several weeks
long, the altitude being so high. Yet
during the season of 1915 five thou
sand autos and about thirty thousand
people passed over this section OF
road without single accident.

j The beauties of the western noun

by Harry G. Burt, former employe
of the Gate City Co., to his sister,
Mrs. w. s. Jessup of Goshen, N T.,
! who is now visiting at the Denmlre
home at Sandusky, Iowa. The letter
follows:
Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 3, 1916.
Mrs. w. S. Jessup:
Dear Sister May: 1t must hit you
an awful jolt when you get letter
| from me. Ihe occasion is so rare 1T
must be like a bolt of nightning out
of clear sky and I'll bet you think
I must have a great tale to tell or

SHUTTING Up the Shop.

1t is rather surprising to the foreign
er visiting South American countries
for the first time to find most of the
best and prettiest shops almost Her
metically sealed at night. If the build
ing is of the older style of construc-
ton the heavy shutters are closed and
locked by iron bars; if more modern
building, the flexible sliding doors and
windows are completely drawn, and
the passerby can see nothing within
the shop.
All is darkness save the light of the
street lamps; no brilliantly lighted
windows help to add cheer and bright
ness to- the street.
In European and American cities the
average merchant is willing to spend
money freely for nightly display of
his wares and merchandise. He real
ICES and appreciates the publicity.
The evening crowds upon our streets
are highly entertained and even in
structed by window displays of the
busy streets.
Herein lies the difference; for, as
rule, the South American streets,
busy and attractive during the day,
are quite the reverse at night. Even
in some of the larger cities the old
custom of Theoretically sealing the
shop at night prevails.

New PIace.Names for Canada.

By the decisions of the geographic
board of Canada made in April and
May three "sTrouts'' are eliminated
from our list of place-names. Which
is well, because there are plenty of
."Trodts' left, enough in fact to still
cause confusion.
A lake and river emptying into Hud-
son bay, in the Patricia district OF
northern Ontario, have been relieved
of the name, Trout, and given that of
Sutton; a lake and river in Saguenay
country, Quebec, that bore both the
name Trout and Petite, have been Civ
en-, the Indian name, sfatamek; and
a third Trout disappears by calling
the river north of POntax river, in
north Quebec, Opamwastik.
A river empties into James bay,
south of Eastman river, Mistassini
territory, Quebec, had been called
Sheep river. Its new name is Matt
kush, this Indian name meaning sheep.
In the new north these Indian
names seem particularly appropriate
most of them are euphoneous, and they
are associated with the traditions and
the history of the original population.

Greed for Woman's Clubs

Keep US, o God, from pettiness; let
us be large in thought, in word, in
deed.
Let US be done with fault-fnding
and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away prtense and meet
each other face to face, without self
pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judg-
ment and always generous.
Teach US to put in action our better
impulse, straightforward and I'M
afraid.
Grant that we may realize that it
is the little things that create differ
ences; that in the big things of life
we are one.
And may we strive to touch and to
know the great common woman's
heart of US all, and, o Lord God, lei
us not forget to the kind-Anon.

ODD NAMES GIVEN CHILDREN
Seems an Injustice for Parents to In
fict Some of Them on Their
Helpless Offspring.

It would seem poor sort of humor
to label a child with a Christian name
which fits the surname all TOO well,
like Sardine Box, Jolly Death, Holly
Stick, Rose Bush, Long Street, Seldom
Early, and the like, but it is done,
nevertheless.
OF course, Nemesis is sometimes on
the track of these practical jOkers,
only his revenge is probably wreaked
on the namebearer rather than on the
parents. For instance, Wild Rose
sounded very appropriate in infancy,
but when the pretty Miss Rose mar
ried the fascinating Mr.. Bull, and she
had to sign her resignation paper Wild
Bull it sounded bit queer!
Somebody, of course, nobody is to
blame. Nobody was in the case of
Hetta Simpson, who married Mr.. John
Lott, but she got numerically chaffed
over the combination, Hetta Lott.
But the font-fend who perpetrated
the following joke upon his uncon-
scious though wildly protesting BARN
must have known what he was doing.
Probably if the parson had twigged
the diabolical design of the smiling
father he might have transposed two
of the names and spoiled the plot.
The parents were called Gum, and
when the parson asked for the child's
baptismal names the father whispered,
BENJAMIN Isaac Godfrey" and it
sounded all right But fancy that lad
writing all his life such a conceited
signature as B. l. G. Gum! It's too
dreadful.
There are certain names that are
"off the map" Such are Jezebel, Ana
Mas, Sapphire, Judas and Beelzebub.
But occasionally parents have been
known TO take a mean revenge on a
new and unwelcome arrival, as, for
instance, One-too-many Johnson, Not
wanted Smith, Odious Heaton. Poor
kids!
Sometimes the idea is the reverse.
So profoundly thankful are the hap
by pair to have new baby that they
must express their joy at the font.
Thus we get Merry Christmas Fig
got, Welcome Jones, but it is difficult
to admire such names as Noahs Ark
| Smith and Ammo Domini Davis.
Many people wrongfully conclude
that the names bestowed by .Bunyan
upon his immortal jury at Vanity Fair
were very exceptional. But his Mr..
Hatelight and Mr.. Liveloose had their
counterpart in the local director OF
i Bunyan's time.
Singularly enough, a volume pub
Hshed in 100 gives a copy of Jury
Return made at Rye, Sussex, Eng
land, in the late Rebellious Troublous
| Tines
The names of the Il were: Meek
Brewer, Graceful Harding, Kill-sir

'em? The latest evening gowns? The
real high-falutin' evening gowns
that only the - er - the roi-tan
wear? E
They're high in front-just as high
as some of the dresses that used to
attract attention on the streets.
When you see 'em coming you give
the DANES boots the Up-and-down
and wonder what's loose behind her
heels. -.
And then when they pass-gosh!
You find the thing that's loose behind
is a TRAIN-an honest-to-goOdness
train-made right onto the Seymour
skirt.
The skirt, you then observe, is
made V-shaped, only the V is upside
down. And the whole outfit looks
exactly like the rig that little Mary
Smith, aged 5, makes out of her
mothers apron, when she acts the
grand LADY, and marches down her
suburban street with all the proud
apIumb of a Chicago dowager in pea
cock alley!
