origin of the Name asni.a-Bar..

This story is told regarding the orr
gin of the name of Sni-a-Bar creek.
The story runs that in an early day a
Frenchman named Abar was ascending
the Missouri river in a Canadian boat.
just below the present site of the
town, of Wellington he came to the
mouth Of a little river or creek.
"See now, my children; here we
have a sni. placed by the good God
for our backs relief" he said. "a
little breathing space, a quiet time,
a resting from the river. All, the
dear snii"
Sni Is French for slough. Abar fan
cied he had struck a quiet loop of
backwater which would lead him again
TO the river In a mile or two. But In
a mile II became apparent that II was
no slough. but a small stream. And
30 the boat vas turned and poled back
to the Missouri. From this cIrcum.
stance the creek was called Sni-a-Bar.

SEVERE ORDEAL FOR BRIDE
Afghan "Beauty Treatment" Torture
to Which Al! Girls Approaching
Matrimony Must Submit.

The girl bride in Afghanistan is
subjected to a very severe beauty
treatment. Some elderly ladies mas
sage her face. wash her hair and
anoint it with oil and perfume. Then
comes the tarr zaddani or removal of
the superfluous hairs Of the face. The
phrase, composed of two Persian
words-tarr. meaning string, and zad-
DAM, meaning beating-is highly ex-
pressive of the act.
A thin silken string is held close to
the skin by n of the brides attend
ants a second attendant pulls the
thread out and giving it a spin with
her index finger and thumb, lets it go.
AS it strikes the skin and springs
back. it pulls out the hair, Ikbal Ali
Shah writes in Asia Magazine. The
position of the string is changed and
the action is repeated. This very pain
full operation must be performed on
every bride, whether she has hairs on
her face OF not. When the ordeal is
over, the tortured face is washed with
warm water, without soap. and well
powdered.

Secretary of Labor Champ
ions Cause of Negro Labor.

WASHINGTON, April What appears
10 ne the initial assurance of the at
tltude of the Harding administration
toward the Colored race came from
the Secretary of Labor when he an
peared as the champion of the Negro
workers in the stock yards at Chicaro
When the conference Of empIoyees
win representatives of the packers to
confer over the labor crisis that was
threatened in the packing industry
met here, ii was brought out that the
Colored employees engaged in the
same work in the yards were receiy-
ing about 30 per cent less than those
OF the other race. This fact was
soon made apparent as the conference
progressed and Immediately the Sec
that this discrimination was un-Am-
erican and that labor is worthy of it's
hlre and .equable consideration with
out regard to color.
The Secretary's contention was in
slstently and firmly made and finally
prevailed. and as a result there will in
the future be no deferentials in the
compensation of labor for similar ser
vice in the stockyards This will be
nailed with very great hopefulness by
the Colored people engaged in gainful
occupations throughout the country, as
the practice of discrimination in
wages against Colored workmen pre-
walls in many industries
This firm intimation of the revival
or true Americanism in which people
or all colors enaged in industrial oc-
cupations Will be treated as a part of
the national structure gives wide en-
couragement to the race as the evil
dence of things hoped for.

Aged WatChman ROuts
Robbers.

Chicago. April Cary Mason. aged
Sc, feeble, silver-pated race citizen,
employed as night watchman by the
Adler Packing Company looked
easy" for a pair of desperadoes who
were minded to crack the safe of the
establishment. They came JUST before
daylight. armed with nitroglycerine,
automatic pistols and other imple-
ments. The field was clear, except
for the tottering old man. A tap or
lwo on tho head would dispose of
him. But they did not take into ac-
count the loyalty of the old fellow
or his fighting qualities. As a result,
one. of them is dead and the other
badly wounded.
The gaed watchman was armed with
an old revolver thHt had not been fir
edd since the Civil War. He encount-
cred the yegEmen in the basement and
they set upon him at once. One OF
them shot him twice, merely flesh
wounds, and then Mason went into
action. He unlimbered his ancient
revolver pushed back the lafety
clutch ana his first shot tore through
the shooting arm Of the yegg who
had fired at him. The thieves beat
him cruelty on the head with the
butts of their revolvers. For half an
hour they fought desperatClr, the
vc@gs fearing to shoot for fear Of
killing each other. Finally the wound
ed rObber let go and crawlcd away
The old man released his hold on the
other an slid to the floor.
Instantly he seized the legs Of his
opponent and appended" him. AS he
arose Mason shot him through the
head. Exhausted by his long battle
and loss Of blood from his numerous
wounds. he fell across the body of
the dead yegg, and that was the posi-
tiOn in which police found them
when the watchmen's gong failed to
register and an investigation was
made
