The Word Squaw.

The word squaw, the term for an
Indian woman, is said to have been
taken from the language of a band of
Indians in New England known as the
Narragansets, and is probably an alb
breviation Of the word eskwaw. Years
ago the word was carried over the
length and breadth Of Canada and the
United States, and came to be used
even by the Indians on the western
reservations, who lave taken it from
the whites. A "squaw man" is an Indian
who does woman's work; also white
man married to an Indian woman and
who lives with her people. After the
squaw have been named, squaw berry,
the partridge berry; squaw flower, the
plant known as trillium erecttum;
sQuaw mint, the American pennyroyal;
squaw winter, used in parts of the
Canadian Northwest to designate q
mild beginning Of winter.

SEIZED CAPE COLONY TWICE
Capture of Hollands South Afri.
can Territory in 1895.

Early in the wars Of the French
Revolution Holland was forced to be-
come an ally of Great Britain. A Brit
lsh fleet appeared off Cape Town In
August, 1895. and the colony surren-
dered on September 16. For seven
years Britain held the country, spend
Ing fully eight million dollars in i'm
proving it. Monopolies were taken of
trade, torture was abolished, and pros
perity prevailed, whereas before the
colony had been on the verge Of ruin.
In 1902 the Peace of Amiens secured
for Napoleon a breathing spell, which
he used in preparing still greater at
tacks upon the liberties of Europe. By
this treaty Cape Colony was restored
to Holland. War was resumed in 1906,
with Holland an ally once more Of
France. Again the British captured
Cape Colony. and when peace was def
nitely settled in 1916, after Waterloo,
Britain retained South Africa, paying
Holland six million pounds sterling,
the colonies of Demerara, Essequibo
and Berbice being included in the sale.
The population consisted of 26,7OO
whites, holding 29,3OO slaves, and IT,
$50 free Hottentots. Britain sup
pressed the slave trade and In 1884 the
slaves were emancipated by the Brit
ish government.

RED, EMBLEM OF DOMINATION
Has From Time Immemorial Been Sig
nifcant Of High Authority-eiue
Called Cloak of Heaven.

OF all bright cOlors red is the favor
tie among primitive peoples. It ex-
cites to violence in flags and uniforms.
Red is the emblem Of domination in
politics and religion. The cardinal and
the doctor of divinity have their red
robes.
On the other hand, red has replaced
green in one respect as restful color.
At great state functions out Of doors
In India, such as durbar, red umbrel-
las are preferred to green as an effec-
tive sunshade.
Blue has a minor influence. Curious
ly enough, it appears only to affect the
cat in the same way that red affects
other animals. Humanity has respect
for blue, which is the cloak of heaven.
In legends and fairy tales it is the
good little boy, destined to achieve
success in life and marry princess
who is described as clothed in blue
while a red blouse serves for the bad
boy.

GOT BEST OF ARMY OFFICERS
Leader Of Pickaninny Band Showed
Himself Fully Capable Of Dealing

An itinerant pickaninny band hall

South struck up lively airs in one Of

spondent of the New York Evening
Post. The doughty little drum major,
dressed In an imposing collection of
colors, rested between airs and sug-
gested to bystandefs that they make
contributions for the good Of the cause.
Four army officers stopped and ban.
tered the leader until his soul grew
vexed. Suddenly he had an inspira.
ton and turning to his dozen jazz mu-
sicians he raised his baton and gave
the signal for the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner," which the darkies played with
earnestness and drew out as long as
possible.
The officers, of course, Immediately
came to salute and remained in that
posture until the grinning drum major
brought down his baton on the final
note. The officers appeared bit red
in the face and proceeded along their
way without attempting to "spoof" the
band any further. They appeared TO
be making remarks soto vOce.

lreland's Round Towers.

No one knows exactly when or why
the round towers in Ireland were
built, but some believe that the druids
erected them as watch towers and
places to which to 60 for safety in
time of danger. A good many Of the
towers have the tops broken down and
those which show the cone tops intact
have mostly been restored. There is
no door on the ground, the doors be-
ing purposely built at about 10 or
Is feet irony the ground and were
reached by ladders.
After the people had climbed inside
they drew their ladders up after them
and thus were out Of reach of the
Danes who frequently invaded the
country. The tiny windows OF these
towers are far up toward the top also.
About so round towers remain in Ire
land, but only a few Of them are per-
feet. According to one authority, they
were probably built between the 9th
and 18th centuries.

SwitzerIand's Gipsies.

Just 500 years ago, writes CORE
spondent of the Neue Zurcher Zeitung,
our forefathers in the city on the Linn
mat had a new experience. A motley
army Of people came into Switzerland
from the east and camped just out
side the walls Of Zurich for tro weeks.
They numbered some $4,000 persons,
men, women and children. These
swarthy wayfarers, according to an
old chronicle, were commonly known
as gipsies or heathens. They said
they had been driven out Of Egypt.
Their clothing was miserable, but they
wore many ornaments of gold and sill.

cipline. and paid punctually for all
they ate and drank. After seven
years. wanderings they are said to
have returned to their original home.
This was the first appearance Of gip-
sizes In Switzerland.

Snarino Snakes.

For sheer, downright danger the
work of snake catching in the Austria
lian bush compares very favorably with
anything one might imagine. It is
also an exceedingly profitable method
Of earning a livelihood-that is, If you
survive.
The snakes are collected for the
sake Of their venom, a substance that,
like radium, is valued by the grain, a
pound of it being worth about $500. It
is in active demand by chemists and
IS obtained, as far as Australia is con-
cerned, from only three species Of
snakes-the death adder, the brown
adder and the tiger snake.
The reptiles must be caught unin-
jured, and it goes without saying that
the business demands considerable
skill and agility on the part of those
following it.
Tiger snakes are the best, for they
carry most venom; and they are still
numerous in the more remote parts of
the seldom-yisited interior.

The Reward Of Kindness.

The unusual feature of an individu-
al devising all his effects to his busl-
ness partner to the exclusion of his
children, and not preserving any es-
tate to devise is contained in the will
of Chicago citizen, which was adj
mitted to probate recently. The tes-
tator left all he possessed to his part
ner. In explanation Of his action the
testament reads: my reasons for this
are that what worldly possessions I
have are due entirely to the generosi-
ty Of my partner and l feel that !
only have a life interest. Although it
would be pleasure to leave my chill
dren something-in other circum-
stances-as am must be just. They
are young and able" The petit
ton accompanying the document
states, however, that the decedent, q
Hebrew, left no estate.

To the Sunday School Workers of
Ward County, Greeting:-
The Sunday Schools of Ward coun-
ty should wake up. The Secretary
has sent out blanks for the report
of every school. From these reports
the statistics are made out for the
year. In order to have these ac-
curate. and give a correct idea of the
magnitude of the Sunday School work
it is very important that every school
sends in it's report, and on time.
In every line of work reports are
interesting. Banks send out their
yearly reports. From these one gets
a line on business conditions. Organ
izations Of various kinds send out
yearly reports. The summaries OF
Public Schools and Normal Schools
are always of great interest to the
public. Sunday School reports are
no less interesting. and as these are
complete or incomplete so is the sum
mary that goes forth to all the world:
Your County or your State is judged
according to the record. Let US all
help to make it the very best record
possible. If your own Sunday School
has not made as good record this
year as you could wish land whose
Sunday school has?) that is no rea-
son why you should fail to send in

and see that your Sunday School is
improved right away.

METHODS OF MARKING MONEY

Drawer.

In their surveillance and apprehen.

secret officers often find 1t necessary
to mark the money" handled by such
persons. There are various methods
Of so marking the national currency,
one of the most novel Of which Is the
pin-prick.
The note to be marked Is. say, the
S. silver certificate bearing the Wig
nette Of an Indian chief In full re-
gala Of Feathers and trappings and
presenting full-face view. Win the
aid of a pin the secret service man
makes two punctures in the bill d.
rectly in the pupils Of the Indians
eyes. To the casual and sometimes
even critical inspector Of the note
these pin-pricks are invisible. II
raised to the light, however, the bill
will distinctly reveal them.
The markings are complicated by
the following process: The pinpOint Is
applied in the "twist" of the large
figure s of the two upper corners OF
the note. These tiny twists do not
appear on the "necks" of the two fig
ures 5 that are on both sides of the
bottom of the note. The note Is now
pierced again, this nme at the ends
of the scrolls on each side Of the
word "five" in the lower center OF the
bill. The marking is now complete.

and is then placed in the till or money
drawer to which the suspected person
has access.
1t is said that the pin-pricks will re-
main perfect for some time. When
such bills are produced in court and
their markings are explained under
oath conviction is practically certain.

have been in August. He further tells
us that the full moon occurred on the
fourth day after his landing. The full

by astronomical tables, occurred at 8
q. m. of the 31st. Hence, Caesar land

It is well known that Caesar met
with greater difficulty in landing and
making good his first footing on the
island than he expected. The southern
Britons were people well advanced
In civilization at the time. It was only
about a century after this that London,

When the new official newspaper
bill, which has been introduced in the
legislature, becomes effective, fully
half of the smaller newspapers of
the state will be put out of bust
ness. Only one newspaper in each
county will be eligible to publish coun-
ty commissioners proceedings, the alb
stract of votes, or any other legal
publications and that paper is to be
selected by a popular vote at the next
general election. Under the present
law, there are three official county
newspapers, selected by the board of
county commissioners at the first
meeting in January of each year. The
plums are usually passed around, CIV
ing the small paper a chance to exist.
Naturally good sized howl has gone
UP from the press of the state which
for the most part is not in favor of
such a bill. 1t looks like the little
newspapers will have to go. These
publications published in the smaller
towns of North Dakota may look
rather small and unimportant as COM
pared to the metropolitan newspapers,
but they cover their limited field more
thoroly than the larger newspapers
and have been very important factors
in the development of North Dakota.
Many of them have had a hard time
it exist even when getting share
Of the legal business. While they
have not always had an opportunity
to feast on custard pie, it begins to
look like large number of them will
have to subsist on snow balls or get
out of business.
