If we 60 back to work again before these

our system they pile up and keep on piling
up steadily from day to day, and the cOndi-

Els. Executive msetInu.

Pierre.-The first meeting of the
executive committee of the Black and
Yellow Trail association was held here
for the laying out Of plans for promo
ton and publicity. Every county
along the line Of the trail from Brook
ings to Lawrence was represented. and
the hnai Incorporation papers were
prepared and flied along with other
details as to soliciting Of member
ship. raising of funds and lining W
the policy OF work toward boosting
the trail. The association will work
toward securing more publicity to this
trail than it has secured in the past,
and will keep up a permanent organi-
cation to that end. One of the fea-
lures developed at the meeting is that
while the trail is generally marked
along the country roads in the state,
there is lack OF marking in the towns
to indicate on what streets the trail
a be picked up after leaving the
place, until the autoist wanders into
the marked trail again in the country.
This feature was taken up as n OF
the immediate needs of the situation
to be looked into by the various vice
presidents Of the different counties.

How BeIoit Received Its Name.

The significance of the name of a
city is commonly not difficult to dis
owe Beloit, Wis.,, than which no
city has q pleasanter name, affords
the rare example Of q city name manu-
featured to order, and having no
linguistic or other significance. Ac-
cording to the recollections Of one of
the founders of the town, which have
recently been presented to the Wis
consin Historical society, the first set
tier in 1886 named the place New AL
bany." A few months later a meeting
Of the settlers was held to select a
better name for the future city. Sew
efal having been proposed and reject
ed. II wa finally agreed "to place the
alphabet in q hat and see If we could
not get a combination of letters that
would give US a name that would be
a new one." While engaged In this,
of the settlers trying to sound q
French word meaning handsome
ground" uttered the sound ''bellotte."
Another settler Immediately modified
this TO "Beloit." which was considered
like Detroit in sound and pretty and
original" So the newly coined name
was adopted, and by II New Albany
has ever since been known.-Wiscon.

laration Of a state of war. The reso-
luton reads:
The people of Aberdeen and sur

NEW LIGHT ON THE AZTEC
Professor Says Montezuma Was Not
q King, But Merely War Chief Of
Confederacy.

h o%yerturn!ng OF traditions which
has been brought about by American
ethnologists, who by the study Of Az
tee life have come to the conclusion
that MonteZuma was not q king, but
only a war chieftain; that the famous
Aztec empire was not on empire at oil,
but only q loose c~onfederacy of demo-
cratic Indian tribes, Is subscribed to
by Prof. I. Il. Waterman of the Uni
versity of California. who has just is
sued q paper on chandeliers Contribu-
ton to the Study"
Montezumas palace" was not a pal
ace, but only war headquarters for the
tribe, according to Waterman. Monte
yuma" he says, ''was only an elected
war chief. He had not power to de-
clare war, this being the prerogative of
the tribal council. The choice of the
war chief, was. however, limited to n
group, which consisted of a whole fam
lily of lineage, but son did not follow
father unless elected. The sons of the
war chiefs were brought up as private
citizens.
'The head war chief, such as Monte
yuma, was of no higher rank than the
coadjutor, who held the extraordinary
title Of Snake Woman. The functions
of the nan who held this Office are not
clearly known, but apparently an inn
pertant part OF his Office was the gath
ering and housing Of tribute.
MISUNDERSTANDING of Aztec life has
arisen" says Waterman, 'from the fact
that the Spanish ~conquerors did not
realize the fundamental differences be-
tween Indian and Spanish society.
Land was not owned by individuals,
but by the clan. To the Aztec society
ish society was essentially feudal."

AS an article of diet the Canada
lynx cannot be beaten when properly
prepared. although this may be a sur
prise to the vast majority of people
even In the regions where this big cat
Is best known. This statement Is
made in the belief that the common
lynx found in Alaska Is the same ami
NAL scheduled by the natural histories
as lynx C~anadensis. If any curious
person will take the headquarters of a
lynx in good condition, leave 1t over
night in a bucket of water to which
q handful of salt and a teaspoonful Of
soda are added. and then roast 1t with
potatoes he will have a dish very sim
liar to mountain sheep. admittedly the

TeIephone Girls Strike.

Sioux Falls.-The girl employees OF
the Canton Cooperative Telephone
company have gone on strike. this be-
ing one of the first strikes of the kind
ever staged in South Dakota. The
girls are demanding an increase OF pay
and shorted hours Of duty. Recently,
in response to their demands, they
were granted a slight increase in
wages, but their hours on duty were
extended. The girls. therefore, de-
cided to go on strike until their full
demands were complied with. They
demand an increase in wages to $40
per month and the working day
changed to eight hours. 1t is ex-
pected an adjustment of the difficult
ties will soon be reached.

CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
ceIestiaIs Planned to Trip Up Foes,
Throw Water in Their Faces and
Then Cut Off Their Heade-

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa-
nese war, says q contributor to the
Washington Star, n Of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field ut a review and go through a
very curious performance. M
The soldiers carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods, and with these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and making very queer gestures
and grimaees.
Whats the game?" asked the Amer
lean.
"That regiment" a Chinese general
answered, "is one of our very oldest.
1t Is now practicing a form OF assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
idea is to trip the enemy up with the
long wand. throw water la his face
and. In the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment, to
cut off his head."-Youth's Compan-
ion.

His Fables Were Classics.

Jean de la Fontaine, the seventeenth
century French genius, who ranks
among the greatest fabulists Of oil
time, died 222 years ago, at the age Of
seventy-four, and to the last he was as
naive, improvident, reckless and good
hearted as a child.
He was the son Of a magistrate, and
In his youth proposed to become a
priest. but abandoned that project aft
ar eighteen months in q seminary, and
thereafter, for several years, led an
idle and d~issipated life. His early ef-
forts as poet and dramatist were Of
little worth, and it was not until he
was forty-four that he gained fame
with his "Contes pour Rire"-tales for
laughter.
La Fontaine's masterpiece, his
Fables" were published between 1868
md 1854, the last book having been
completed shortly before his death. IN
these he satirized the whole range of
human nature In its animal counter
parts, and produced q work that will
always rank as a great classic.
