The word itself comes from the
Algonquin miSsi.Scpc when
means great river" 1t Is p"pu-
lnrly supposed to mean "Fnther
Of the Waters" but this tnterpre-
tntiOn Is incorrect. The state is
also known ns the Bayou State
from the many bay0us which are
formed by the shifting river. In
this connection 1t Is interesting
10 note the uneven course Of the
Mississippi river. Though the
extreme length Of the state from
the Gulf to Tennessee Is $50
miles, the western border. due
to the winding Of the Mississippi
river, extends for nearly 500
miles.
The rivers play an important
part in this state. They are so
numerous aud the country so
subject to Hood that the river
bottoms cover nearly one fifth
OF the area OF the entire state.
The early history Of Missis-
sippi Is yoked up with that Of
Louisiana Of which 1t originally
formed n part. Discovered by
De Soto In 1880. 1t was not until
In Sale sailed down the river
and claimed this territory, which
he named in honor Of his French
king, Louis XIV, that a perma-
ncnt settlement was established.
In 1903 the territory east OF
the Mississippi was cedcd by the
French to the English. For
while the lower portion Of the
present state was called West
Florida. After being captured
by the Spanish and later re-
turned to tho United States, the
Territory Of mississippi was ex-
tended to Its present size Of 49,
500 square miles ana In 1877 II
was admitted nS the twentieth
state Of the Union. At the time
Of the Mexican war. although

|" SCRAP OF PAPER !"
AUTHOR is DEAD

Berlin, Jan. 2.--Dr. Theobold Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, former German
imperial chancellor, died last night
after brief illness on his estate at
Hohenfrnow, near Berlin.
Dr.von Bethmann- Hollweg was APP
parently in good health until Wednes-
day. He spent Christmas as usual
with his family, but contracted cold
which developed into acute pneu-
MONA. His condition became steadily
worse and his private physician was
summoned from Berlin, but the for
mcr chancellor had already become
unconscious and never regained con-
seriousness, dying late Saturday night
His wife died in 1914 and he lost his
eldest son in the war. He is sur
vived by daughter Countess Zoch,
wife of the secretary Of the Prussian
legation at Munich, and son, Felix,
a student at Berlin.
On the last Of his frequent visits
to Berlin, in midi November, DR.. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg was seen walking
in Inter den Linten, but the once
stalwart figure was no longer up
right; few pedestrians recognized in
the stopped figure and careworn face
the former imperial chancellor.

REX BEACH'S FAMOUS STORY
"THE NORTH WINDS MALICE"
AT THE PRINCESS TODAY

The attraction at the Princess for
today "wednesday, January 5th) is
Rex ,Beach's famous story of the north
country, "The North Winds Malice"
This truly wonderful picture was
screened north of fifty degrees, as far
toward the pole as any picture has
ever been filmed. The scenic back
ground is said to be the most beau
tiful yet recorded on films, and the
story deals with those hardy people
who loved and hated with Pill the
strength Of their rugged natures.
There is no other writer in a class
with Rex Beach in pcturing the great
outdoors Of the frozen North. And
this is one Of bis best stories. The
picture will be shown for only one day.
