aelenueu school in the United States,
but few know that the name POcahon-
tas was only a nickname, and meant
So unpoetical a thing as "tomboy."
Her real name was Ma-ta-oka. When
she was about ten or eleven years old
q was engaged in turning a series Of
handsprings at the door Of her fathers
hut. He was the chief of the tribe,
and was known as Pow-ha-tan, al
though his real name was A-bun-so-na-
cook. Ra-bun-ta, an Indian runner,
came leaping through the forest with
a message for the chief. He turned
the corner of the hut just as the little
daughter of the chief made one Of het
most vigorous wheels. Her flying feet
struck him in the chest and knocked
him down.
Italians dearly love a rough joke,
and a great shout Of laughter went up,
although the chief was anything but
pleased, and called his daughter sharp
ly to him. This is not maiden's play"
he said. "Will you never cease to be
a po-ca-hun-tas?" The children caught
up the name, and it chung to the little
girl eve afterward. The English
changed the spelling a bit, but the
name has come down in history almost
as it was given away back in 1907.

QUEER CUSTOMS OF AFGHANs
People Eat Only With the Right Hand
Animal Life of Every Descrip-
ton Held Sacred.

The average Afghan has no particu-
lar fondness for wine or spirits.
Tobacco raised in the land is of in
ferior quality; the better sorts are
imported from Persia, Russia, India
and Egypt. Amir Habbibullah Khan
always had a good private stock Of
Havana cigars. Both young and old
people take snuff.
Tea, sweetened and u~nsweetened, is
the favorite drink and is consumed in
prodigious quantities. When you go
to see an Afghan, you al hardly es-
cape before swallowing four or five
cups Of tea it is, therefore, no trifling
%gastronomic feat to pay several visits
in n afternoon. the more so if he
polite host with a view of honoring
the European guests) has the tea
served in big Russian glasses.
The right hand is always used in
eating and drinking, the left hand be-
ing considered unclean.
Dogs, though numerous and useful,
are looked upon as unclean, and pious
people never touch them.
Animals that go badly lame on the
march Or camels that get snowbound
in the mountain passes are abandoned
to their fate. Afghans kill such
animals, as we might do, to put them
out of their misery. They believe that
the lives Of all living things are in the
hands Of Allah, and that man sins il
he presumes to interfere with the Su-
preme Will. Afghans will not ever kill
f1eas or other vermin they merely pick
them off and throw them away!-

POINTS IN
THE

The recorded progress of our
republic, materially and spirit
ually, in itself proves the wis
dom of the inherited policy on
non-involvement in old world
affairs -. We do not mean
to be entangled. We will accept
no responsibility except as our
own conscience and judgment,
in each instance, may deter
mine.
We want to do. our part in
making offensive warfare SO
hateful that governments and
peoples who resort to it must
prove the righteousness of their
cause or stand as outlaws be-
fore the bar of civilization.
We are ready to associate
ourselves with the nations of
the world, great and small, for
conference, for counsel.
IF war is again forced UPON
US, earnestly hope a way may
be found which will unity our
individual and collective
strength and consecrate all
America, materially and spirit
ually, body and soul, to nation
al defense.
We can reduce the abnormal
expenditures, and we will. We
can strike at war taxation, and
we must.
