Misunderstood the Doctor.

Lawrence, age ten, had been slight
ly ailing for few days. but not Ill
enough to affect his appetite seri-
ously.
In his mothers absence, the grand
mother had been carefully dieting
him, much to his annoyance. Final
ly, in desperation, Lawrence appealed
to the family physician for list Of
foods he might safely eat. The ply
stefan named a long list Of light
foods, and Lawrence's joy was I'M
bounded. However, the fates were
against him and horrible conspir-
acy" was revealed at the next meal,
when he learned that the doctor
meant that not all of the list, but
only few articles from the list were
TO be eaten at one meal. He had
anticipated a meal consisting Of each
and everything the doctor had named.

How Word "Russy" Came.

Did 1t ever occur to you that there
is no reproach necessarily implied in
the use of the word "hussyT" Well,
there isn't, on the authority Of the die
tionary.
"Hussy" Is a corruption Of "huswife,"
an abbreviation corresponding to the
word hubby" for husband. Huswife,
in it's turn. is another form Of house
wife.
or course the corruption or abbrevia-
ton of housewife" originally carried
the meaning of endearmert or familiar
appellation.
But the word has travelled long
way--and II has travelled downward
in the course OF the centuries. So in Its
modern meaning, actual or implied
the word "hussy' s>not recommended
for use, even under provoc8tion.
For "hussy," as now used, means "a
pert, forward girl; a jade; a jiIt." So
there you are.-Milwaukee Journal.

How We Got Word "EIuke."

The word "fuke" traces its direct
ancestry to the Anglo-Saxon word
"fOc," which is first cousin to the
Icelandic "foki." There are several
kinds Of flukes. There is the fish
commonly designated in hich priced
restaurants as "filet of sole.' There
is the broad portion Of an anchor,
the part that does the business Of
digging into the mud and holding the
boat. And there is the happy chance
by which a player wins a game.
There Is so strong a resemblance. in
shape between the business ED Of an
anchor and the fish called a fluke that
the application Of the word to the
anchor Is perfectly logical.
There Is also so strong a resem-
blance between the awkwardness Of
the fish called fluke and the awk
wardness of player who makes a
billiard shotlby an accident. that such
shot can quite appropriately be de-
scribed as a "fluke."-Milwauke

How cobwebs ForeteII Weather.

"Cobwebs in the grass prophesy
fine weather" How many times we
have heard that, and, hoping for a
pleasant day after storm, have
looked eagerly in the morning for
spiders webs in the wet grass? II
they are there, we may feel confident
that the day will be fair, for the spi-
der is an excellent weather prophet.
Henri Fabre, the wonderful old man
who found out so many of the secrets
of insects and their kin, tells us that
the threads OF the spiders web used
for catching its prey are made use
less by too much dampness. These
threads, so tiny as to be almost in
visible, are really hollow tubes filed
with sticky fluid which Oozes
through the walls and holds whatever
touches the thread. This fluid read
lily absorbs the moisture from the air
and would soon lose it's sticky nature
in the rain or fog. So the wise spi-
der, lOath to waste precious material,
waits until the wet weather is vir-
tually over before weaving the en-
sharing threads. How it knows what
the weather is to he is still one of the
mysteries.-St. Nicholas.

RUTHLESS WORK OF HUNTERS
Lovers Of Wild Life Aroused Over the
Wholesale Slaughter of Large
Antelope Herd.

Indignation has been aroused among
those interested In the conservation Of
wild animals, over the slaughter by
in large herd that makes its home
in the open country northwest Of
Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
The herd lived unmolested for years
and at its maximum numbered 300 ami
mails. Hunters began to make clandes-
tine raids on the herd last fall and
kept up their depredations during the
winter. At the opening Of spring not
more than $50 antelope were left.
Prong-horn antelope, once rivals of
the bison In number on the plains Of
North America, have been almost ex-
terminated. This is one Of the few
wild herds remaining on the continent.
When the HudsOn's Bay company was
the sovereign power on the prairies
the land which is now rapidly selling
TO farm settlers swarmed with ante
lope. Now only few hundreds are
left of the hosts.
The antelope Of the United States
have shared the fate Of those Of Can
ada. Except for few fugitive bands
in desert wastes all the wild antelope
have disappeared. The greatest herd
left on the continent is in Yellowstone
park under government protection.
Small herds also are fiourishing in
government parks in Montana and
Oklahoma. Antelope are pralific and
multiply rapidly under favorable con-
ditions.
The Canadian government has
Swift Current herd by hunters and
asked to take immediate steps to save
the antelope from determination.

In the dining room of hotel or on a
train. saw an aged French baron at
Mentone enter the dining room of a
hotel with two Wallets and tame
waiter who was engaged specially to
keep out the slightest draught.
1t is pretty warm In the south of
France in May and the sun was strik-
ing on the glass sides of the dining
room, but the baron felt a chill. The
waiter went to each window and
plugged up imaginary crevices with
serviettes and a mallet, but still his
patron called out at intervals: I'll y n
an courant d'air." The two Wallets at
his side fed him with the choicest It'd
bits from the table, but he was not
satisfied. Just before l left the ener-
getic waiter found keyhole which
had not been used for quarter of
century and plugged it up.

GOT ITS NAME FROM STREAM
How New Works Famous maiden
Lane" Received Nomenclature
That Is World Famous.

Maiden lane, the home of the jew
elry and diamond business in New
York, and known over the world for
that fact, received it's name before it
was street. 1t took 1t from a very
pretty little stream that ran across
that part of the city. 1t was the Gus
tom in that day, before the time Of
wringers and washing machines, for
the young women to do the family
washing.
The clothes were carried here and
the day spent in cleansing them in
what is described as a ripping brook.
Some Of the men who, have dug into
New York's early history profess to
have discovered that 1t was also a
place where the young men of the
time repaired, being pretty certain of
getting n chance to talk with the girls.
The stream was outside the city as
It existed at that time most of it be-
ing behind the big wooden wall that
Peter Stuyvesant had built, so that
In order to get TO Maiden lane 1t was
necessary to go out through the gate
with the family wash. There is moth
ing to show that Monday was then
the popular washday with families, as
1t is now and was later. But 1t is
likely the Dutch began to get things
to rights early in the week, and it
probably was Monday that saw the
greatest gathering OF maidens along
the little stream, washing and rinsine
clothes.

DEATH VALLEY VOYAGERS
HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES.

DEATH VALLEY VOYAGERS
HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES.
Death valley has reputation
for destroying the hopes of man
largely because man is by ma
ture selfish being, according
to John Stanton of Boise City,
Okla, who claims that most of
the human beings who perish In
that arid tract Of territory owe
their destruction TO the individ-
uals who go before them.
death valley presents a pic
ture of the two sides of human
nature" said Mr.. Stanton. ut
shows on one side the good, the
beautiful and the true, while on
the other hand 1t depicts the
most despicable trait in human
ty-selfishness. For instance,
one of the reasons why most of
the vOyagers in Death valley
come to grief Is because they
cannot find water holes. There
are men who know where these
water holes are-men who have
discovered them and men who +,
erect signs to point the way to
them. But after these real hui
man beings have gone to all the
trouble of erecting the signs,
putting directions on them as
best they can, the selfish trav-
elers come along and, needing
the signs for firewood, destroy
them.
Just for the satisfaction of
a moment, the utility that
comes from kindling fire
which could be built with lit
tie more effort If the parties
were to search for the firewoOd
without using the guideposts,
some people jeopardize the lives
of those who follow them.
That is the story Of Death valley.
The place has many tragedies to
its record, but One-half If not
more Of them could have been
averted If human nature had
kept itself in control; If selfish
ness were not such strong
trait. Death valley isn't half !
so dangerous to mankind as !
these men," !

LA GUARDIA FOR MAYOR
ATTACKS GOV. MILLER
Announcement of Candidacy
Makes Traction an Issue.

Attacks on Gov. Miller and the Re-
publican Legislature will feature the
primary campaign of +. II. La Guardia
for the Republican nomination for
Mayor, who announced formally last
night that he would seek the nomina-
ton. Mr.. La Guardia said it would be
a .'penniless" primary. so far as he was
concerned There will be no treasurer,
no subscriptions asked, and. he said.
every worker will be volunteer
La Guardia has told his friends he will
become an independent candidate for
Mayor If he Is beaten for the Repub-
lican nomination through what he may
consider unfair tactics.
While the attitude of Mr.. La Guardia
toward Gov. Miller because OF his trac-
ton bill has been known, Republican
leaders were surprised TO learn that the
President of the Board OF Aldermen
would make 1t campaign issue. They
refused to make any public comment
on La Guardias $ announcement, how
ever.
The disapproval and dissatisfaction
Of the Republican State administration
toward the city of New York Is uni
versal." Mr.. La Guardia said In a for
NAL statement. 81 hear frankly from
independent Republicans, and confiden-
TALLY from organization leaders, that
the work of the Miller administration
admittedly will not be indorsed by the
voters of the city. Republican organi-
zatlon leaders are planning and caution
ing me to soft-pedal Miller and his ad-
ministration. l do not intend TO soft
pedal it at all. / intend to bring the
issue squarely and frankly before the
enrolled voters of the party and give
thinking Republicans an opportunity to
protest AGAINST the reactionary legisla-
ton and unfair attitude toward the city

tration."

onstrate conclusively there is no popu-
lar demand for the repeal of the direct
