welsh version. Elayne followed,
the name becoming famed ~ the
mother Of Sir Galahad, whom Ten
nyson later identified with dis
Lady Of Shalott." From this, Ire
land adopted Eileen, or Aileen. Its
poetical associations are continued
through Ellen Irwin and her piteous
death upon Braes of Kirth and FL
len Douglas. beloved heroine of Sir
Walter Scott.
Italy took the name Of Helen
and transformed 1t into the soft
musical Elena. Provence con-
trtbuted Alienor, which became
Eleonore in France and Lemore In
Spain. It was finally brought to
England by good Queen Eleanor"
and was long used rs q royal name
BY the lantagenets as Elinor. Italy
contributed one more charming
derivative in Leonora d'Este, object
Of Tasso's hopeless affection.
Other countries brought the dis
t1ngutshing mark Of their language
to bear upon Helen, resulting in
the Helenka Of Russia: Helene, Of
Sweden; Leonore Of France, Nellie
and Lena Of England and America.
The Jewel Unsigned to Helen, and
one to be worn by all who bear the
name, II they would have health,
good fortune. and happiness, is the
hyacinth. or yellow jacinth, ~ It
Is better known. In early days a
jacinth was carried BY every trav-
eler to insure them against acct
dent or disease-in fact, the stone
Is said to warn its wearer against

OF . jacinth is interpreted to mean

II you had any doubts regarding Rock Is

sport you must have had them dissipated II
you were at the football game played 1t Doug

teen q moro liberal supporter Of sports than
any Of its neighboring Cities Where patronage

agement They know when they buy a ticket
for football game in which the Independents
team Is q contender it will be a clean contest,
and that 1t viii be on the square. And, best of
all. the Independents thus far have proved A.
most unbeatable. The football ia mot only
loves the game, but he likes it better when the
home team wins. The Independents haXe> be-
come Rock Island institution.- In the per-
sonnet are some of the fastest Stars in the
country. The team is striving for the cham
pionship Of the nation. The victory yesterday
over Hammond brightens their prospects in
that direction. Rock Island sport lovers are
not partial to football. They will as literally
support baseball. They have done II in years
gone BY. There was q reason toy the failure
OF the local Three-Eye team last season. 1t
cid not furnish the class Of baseball that Rock
island fans were accustomed to having served

however. The Rock Island baseball fan does

Goes he expect it to win the pennant every
season. But he does demand . team that will
Play ball and fight every inch Of the WY every
game. That's what the Independents do
That's the reason football in Rock Island Is %
