Brother Jonathan.

Brother Jonathan is general name
applied to the people of the United
States. Its origin is said to be as fol-
lows: Soon after having taken COM
mand of the Continental army, Cen
eral Washington found that it was in
need of many things. At that time
the governor of Connecticut was Jona-
than Trumbull, the elder, a friend Of
Washington in whose judgment Wash
ington had great confidence. During
the consultation on the state of the
army, Washington suggested that they
consult Brother Jonathan" meaning
his friend, Trumbull. This advice was
followed and Irumbull devised the
means of procuring what was required.
The story was told in the army, and
the reply to demand for an article
was invariably to ask Brother Jona-
than" The phrase became proverbial.
AS the personification Of the citizen of
the United States Brother Jonathan"
corresponds to the British "John Bull"
Nowadays, however, "Uncle Sam" has
largely superseded Brother Jonathan"
in popular use.

EXPECT BOOM IN ATHLETICS
1t Is Believed That Indoor Sport Will
Be Lively This Season-Panic
Stage Passed.

Indoor athletics will enjoy a much
more prosperous season during the
coming months than last winter. The
breaking of relations with Germany
was the signal for the closing of a
majority of the armories in the middle
of the seasons doings, and this spoiled
many athletic meetings. Now that the
panic stage has passed and the mill
tary authorities are encouraging the
continuation of all athletic sports,
there is every reason to believe that
conditions something like normal will
hold sway when the board of floor
game gets under way.
There have been not a few criti-
cisms hurled in the direction of the
track men because they have not done
as much for war charities as have the
men who follow tennis. golf and other
games. 1t cannot be said that the ath-
letes have followed the exhortation of
the Red Cross people to give until it
hurts" but, on the other hand, the
cinderpath set have done something.
Many of the smaller clubs and leagues
have turned over the proceeds of
games for charitable purposes, and the
big athletic clubs have spent hundreds
of dollars promoting athletic events for
soldiers.

OriQin of Life.

The many speculations that have
been published concerning the origin
Of life on the earth and on any other
bodies in the universe where it may
possibly exist usually assume that, in
some way or other, "life germs" are
transported across the CULTS of space
from one planet to another. Thus it
has been suggested that life may have
been brought to the earth in meteors.
One Of the most recent suggestions is
that minute "life germs" may escape
from the atmosphere of planet in
which life exists, just as molecules of
the atmospheric gases are believed to
escape from our terrestrial atmos-
phere, and may be driven by light
pressure to some world where physi-
cal conditions have become suitable
to support life. While there is moth
ing essentially absurd In these hypo-
theses, it is not clear why their au-
thors should take it for granted that
life cannot originate de novo on q
cooling planet.-Scientific American.

1t was then that Mrs. Blake had her

She was pale, anxious looking and
thOughtfully serious the day after

Tige fairly tore out Of the house.
He shifted the air, he investigated the
barn, the garden, seemed looking for
somebody. Finally he raised his head
in the direction Of the house two miles
away where Mrs. Blake was staying
with her daughter. He uttered dis

Joel. but Tige never stirred. AS his
master approached him to get him
back into the house, Tige started up

He repeated this maneuver a second

Women Best Prevarieators.

"Women are better liars than men,
but God bless them just the same"
said Police Magistrate J. M. Fitzgerald
of the Omaha police court.
"Women come into court and lie
right along, under oath. Their lies do
not show on their faces, either, but I
can tell they are lying because their
stories contradict those. Of reliable wit
nesses.
"When men lie they hesitate, turn
red, swallow, etc. One can tell they're
lying just by watching their faces and
neckS. -
''But you can't tell it on a woman.
They lie Outrageously and stick to
their stories in the face of everything.
They know just the right time to de-
viate from the truth, too. Their lies
always count in the outcome Of their
trials-if they are believed. Men
haven't the same knack at the art that
women police court characters have"

CALIFORNIA U. SETS RECORD
Scored Twenty-Six Touchdowns and
Kicked Twenty-Three Goals
Against Oklahoma Team.

Football is a game in which victory
Is generally attained after at least
some semblance of struggle. Which
fact reveals nothing startling, but an
astounding instance of animated ac-
ton on the gridiron that has come to
notice has all records for rapid-fire
playing backed off the boards. A re-
port emanating from Norman, Okla,
states that in one hours playing time
the University of California scored 20
touchdowns and kicked % goals for
a ITO to victory over the Kingfsher
college of Kingfisher, Okla.

PING BODIE A FRIENDLY WOP
Former University of Maine Athlete
Praises Mack's Outfieders for
Helping Rookie.

"Slim" French, the former Univer.
sity of Maine hurler and broad jump
er, who was with the Athletics until
he was called to the colors, claims
that Ping Bodie, Amos Strunk and the
rest of Connie Mack's outf1elders are
the greatest bunch for helping out q
rookie. Ping in particular made hit
with the former Maine athlete, and he
cannot understand how the Boston
fans 'bo" him when he comes to bat
in that town.

times at bat, and there were no fluke
hits in his collection, either. He start
ed with single to right field off Will
liams, and followed with hit to the
same section off Danforth for one base.
Then came double to right, single
past third and line smash to center,
all off Danforth. Many players get
four hits in game, but it is rare
occurrence for a player to hit safely
on each Of his five trips to the plate.

itself. Tibet of Princeton; Pun
pelly Of Yale; in fact many other ia
nous hooters all earned much fame
through kicking ability and all were
respected by opposing teams as dam
gerous men, likely at any time to sail
the pigskin through the uprights for
deciding score. There is dearth Of
good kickers this season, and the fact
may also be true that coachers are
putting less value on the play than
formerly.
