ZOE.
One Of the oldest feminine names
in the history Of etymology is Zoe,
signifyinE life" 1t had frequent
usage in Biblical records and was g
favorite in ancient Greece, but its
vogue diminished during the middle
ages and il has been revived only
comparatively recently. II Is re
garded as being as old as Eve and
is generally translated as the
mother of all living
The AleXandrian Jews first used
the name OF Zoe when they trans
lated the history of the first wom-
an and gave her the title Of Zoe in
stead OF Eve. in order to show the
connection OF the names with the
prophecy. II continued in vogue
among the Greeks and came into
fashion again in England with the
revival of classic names.
Just why IL has become a favor
lite in recent years is impossible 70
determine. unless its significance and
the ancient associations, as well as
the shortness and undoubtedly
pleasing sound may be taken as
sufficient reason.
Jade. the Chinese emblem of life,
is a fitting talisman for Zoe IL is
believed to bring her health, wealth
and happiness. Particularly will II
protect her from contagion and
death by accident Tuesday is her
lucky day and her lucky number.

More Truth

TROTZKY AND LEVINE.

To POland's boundary line,
They're bringing law and order
Are TrOtZky and Lenine.
The high ideals that fill EN-
No turbulence can stem.
If people kick they kill EN-,
And that's the last OF them.
Well. may the people heed EN-,
When fervently they cry,
You need the brand OF freedom
That only we supply.
In still enslaved dominions
The luckless subjects covers
To other mems opinions,
But you can cringe TO ours.
You buy the goods we sell you
without q grOwl or kick.
You do just what we tell you
And do il mighty quick.
And while we reign respondent
You thank your kindly fates,
That you are not dependent
On naughty potentates.
Within all Russia's border
There soon would be once more
A state Of law and order
Excepting for the war.
And thus the propagation
OF freedom will be spread,
Till all the population
Is either free or dead.

REFUSED TO SIT AND MOURN
Elderly Lady a Shining Example oi Those Who Can Rise Above
 VicissItudes of Fortune.

There is a white-haired old lady in this city, totally blind and partially deaf, notes the Minneapolis Journal. In her earlier years she was police matrOn, one of the uplifting, cheering kind, that take more than 6 jaller's interest in their wards. But in her later years she lost her eyesight.
 It is generally supposed that about all that is left for mortal bereft of sight after middle age, is to sit and mourn out the remnant years, cared for by those blessed with all five senses.
 But not So with this woman. She learned that the state gives adult women four months of training in handwOrk at Faribault. She took the training in basket weaving. Now in her small apartment she makes bas- kcts rapidly, enthusiastically, artisti- cally: and lives hopefully and com fortably, adding to the worlds sum of cheer instead of subtracting from 1t.
 More than half the worlds popu- lation can claim exemption from full days labor by reason of physical in ability. A large proportion do beg off and shift the load to others. There is a deal of grieving and self-pity among the physically imperfect; and the world always Jugs a load of the leaning ones.
 But who with good eyesight can much complain, when those doomed for life to grOpe, keep on smilingly self-suppOrting in the dark?
