CATCHES DOG MILKING cow
Farmer Finds Pail Short, and a Little
Detective Work DiscIoses the
Culprit.

Huntington, l.. I.-When your COW
suddenly fails in giving you the usual
pail of milk in the morning, it is time
to look around for the cause This Is
just what happened with a Hunting
ton man recently.
His COW was good producer, but
one morning when he went out he
found that for some reason the supply
was not as good as usual. The eve
ning's milking showed the usual re-
turns, but the following morning he
was again short.
Not being satisfied that call was well
in Denmark" he appeared on the
scene considerably earlier the follow
ing morning, and found his own dog,
standing under the COW, enjoying a
feast. Needless to say, the dog was
fastened at night thereafter.

"What'S in a Name?"
by MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history; mean
ing; whence it was derived: significance;
your lucky day and lucky Jewel.
JUANITA.

THE lovely Spanish favorite, Jua-
nita, has come to be "name
without Il country" The mu-
sic of its syllables proved irresistible
to many countries and in modern
times it lost its Spanish heritage and
came to be as American as Anne or
Edith.
.Juanita means grace of the Lord"
1t comes originally from the same
source as John. 1t was probably in
honor of St. John the Evangelist's
guardianship of the Blessed Virgin
that her name became joined with his.
In the Fifth century Giovanni
(John) Maria Visc0nti of Milan ap-
pears and straightway Juan Marta
became a popular name in Spain.
BY adding final "a" the feminine
Juana was formed. name which
proved more acceptable than the mas
culine Juan as a preface to Maria,
and soon Maria was dropped entirely
and Juana became a separate name.
Spain is fond of endearments and di-
minutives, as ROSita and Carmencita
and scores of other names prove, so
presently the ever-popular Juanita
was evolved. Many famous women of
Spain bore the name, among them q
queen, who was known as Juana la
Loca. Her reign in Castillo was an
unfortunate and distressing period.
It may be that the Spanish infiu-
ence in the Southwestern states
brought Juanita into vogue in this
country, or her fame, according to
some, may have been established b.
the countrywide vogue of the old
song with which even the present gen
Grafton is familiar. Who does not re-
member:
"Juanita, ask thy soul II we should
part?"
Juanita's talismanic gem Is the fire
opal. That gem of sunny Spain prom
Uses her protection from evil spirits,
good health and happiness. Tuesday
is her lucky day and seven her lucky
number.

DEER FLEES TO MEN FOR AID
Doe Runs With Fawn Into Lumber
Camp in California to Escape
Mountain Lion.

Downieville, Cal.-That a wild deer
when hard pressed by some enemy OF
the animal kingdom will throw itself
upon the mercy of its human enemy
was proved near here recently when
a doe led her fawn into the wagon
yard of a lumber camp to escape a
mountain lion.
The loggers were just starting for
the woods when the deer dashed ap-
pealingly in, the lion lowering in the
fringe of timber.
The doe and fawn stayed in camp
until apparently satisfied that all i'm
mediate danger was passed.

One Final Pull Brought Him Through


Il mile from the cave entrance, deep
in the bowels of the earth. An at
tempt was made by park rangers to
pull him through the hole, but his cries
were so terrifying as the sharp stall
actites Scarified the skin of his lower
waist that his would-be rescuers were
forced to desist.
1.-THE superintendent was notified of
Browns condition, and personally Wis
tied the cave After thorough exam
nation il was determined that 1t
would either be necessary to blast him
out with II. n. T. or starve him until
his waist measurement was reduced
sufficiently to enable his passage
through Hells Crack.
"Despite the Indignation Of other
visitors, who were barred from the
beauties of Organ Loft, the Frozen
Cascade, the Marble Chamber, etc, by
the rear portion Of Brown, it was
thought better not to blast him out
as undoubtedly some injury would re-
suit to the delicate formation of the
cave.
"By the end of the third day his
waist measurement was reduced 14h
inches, and one final pull by two park
rangers brought him through the hole
minus his pants and some skin.
"All prospective visitors to the Crys-
tai Cave are now measured at the Ad-
ministration building at Giant Forest,
and those whose waist measurements
are over 32H inches are debarred from
the crystalline marvels of Americas
most beautiful cavern"

THE cURFEW.

TN THE Middle Ages, when most of
the houses were built of wood, 1t
became a custom for the watch to
go about after shutdown ringing a bell
as sign for all folk to cover their
fires and go to bed. This precaution
was necessary to prevent the danger
from fire. The name "Curfew' is de-
rived from the French couvre feu
(cover-fire). 1t was introduced into
England by William the Conqueror
though the custom prevailed In Eu-
rope long before.
