low. 1t is not true. Women didn'i
care whether missouri Bill" or "Ari.

new Constable and to the City Coun
Gil. Women and men = asked thu
Council to appoint man who would
work in harmony with the newly-ap

as he is called.
The appointment of no particula
man was backed by women TIL

It seems only just to remark, Il
passing, that these men, or either o

by the people until they have ha'
time to prove themselves. To begil

What is the reason for such mis-
statement? Would the Gazette. or it
correspondent, have it appear tina
Winnemucca women are some rar
sort of prudes, or that they had com
mitted some breach of modesty b,
appearing at council meeting am
taking part in civic matters? Tha
the statement is wholly unwarrante,
becomes apparent upon moment
reflection. Then there is the stub
born fact standing forth that a mos
estimable woman, Miss Fannie Harp

then they would scud away and let him shine a minute, only to seud in front of him again,
 At last the old man lost his patience and sent message by a star for the old Sky Witch. "Tel her to hurry he told the little messenger, flor have lost a great deal of time now"
 Old Sky Witch came hurrying along on her broomstiek, her long black cape floating behind her like big cloud.
 Well, here I am," she said. "what can do for you?"
 Hurry as fast as ever you can to the four corners of the Earth and tell the winds to come here quickly; or I shall not be able to shine at all to- night" said Mr. Moon-man.
 Old Sky Witch did not stop even to ask what was the matter, but off she flew and was soon out of sight, and all the time the saucy little clouds kept on bothering Mir. Moon-man.
 He did not have to wait long, for as soon as the winds got the message from the Witch they blew quickly to help Mir. Moon-man out of his trou- ble."
 Away with you, you little tor ments p called the winds. as they blew from north, south, east and west, and scudding away as fast as they could the saucy little clouds were soon in a faroff part of the sky and old Moon man sent his bright beams on the earth without being disturbed.
 'Thank you" said Mir. Moonman ; sorry to call on you at this time in fhe night, but those sauey clouds were pestering me beyond endurance"
 "Oh, that's all right" answered the winds; i've are always glad to help a friend and away they blew and left the night all still, but the big Earth was bright with the happy smile of Mr. Moon-man.

ALICIA. 

T HIS name Is derived from the same root as Alice, and repre- sents an attempt at greater euphony. The curious part of It is that the name, in it's original form, is really not that of a woman at all, but Of man. It is derived from the Anglo Saxon Adelgis of which the feminine form was Adelgisa, but was not ire quently given to women. Instead 1t was sacred to the sons of the house, principally among the nobility. The name itself means noble, in both it's masculine and feminine forms.
 The name is purely English, having, however, a slight Teutonic flavor An argument is put forward by some ex- perts that the name is derived from the Frankish Adalhert on Adelchen, meaning daughter" AliX or Alisa in Lombardy was naturalized in England when Alix la Belle married Henry l.
 The name originally masculine, ac- cording to the best authorities, how ever, represents Adelgis and not Adel- gisa, making the proper feminine form Aliza. Some believe that Eliza, gen. orally believed to be derivative of Elizabeth Is this missing form. For proof of Aliza as the representative Of Adelgisa, the Liber Vitas of Durham records the changes in Adelgisa from the first noble lady of that name, who laia her gifts upon the altar. By con-

 So fidelity and gratitude are not con. med to the lords of creation.
 But there is no reason to believe that the beasts of the jungle that have their hunting laws. or fhe ants that lay up their store for winter. or the bees that know practical eeome- try, or the eagle that mourns his dead Wife forever, or the hen that protects her chickens, or the bear that is fear less of rifles, or the raecoon that is faithful to his master, ever asked any questions about the why and where fore of things.
 On the other hand, from the dawn of history, we find man worrying over the riddle of the universe. This too in spite of the fact that, even in the beginning of things he felt that he would never be able to solve 1t.
 So he invented language to convey his questions to his neighbors and alphabets to write them down for his children. He invented mathematics in order to compute the motions of the stars.
 By all his questioning he has sue ceeded in pushing back the curtain that hangs around his universe. Yet he knows perfectly we'll that in spite of all that his Newtons. Darwins, Ein- steins and Curies may do, what Her. bert Spencer called "the unknowable' will always elude him.

 Mr. Moon-man is q very nice old fel- low, so he said very pleasantly: "Go along with you and play in another part of the sky. There is plenty of room without getting right in front of me so the Earth folk can't see my light"
 But the saucy little clouds were bent on having fun, and fun they intended to have and all at poor Mir. Moon- mans discomfort
 He had just found a nice big place to shine through when all those saucy little clouds began to dance right in front of Him again. First, they would hide his bright face completely, and

{ IN A STRANGE TOWN,

T am not virginian-but an Ameri- can" "-Patrick Henry.
 TT IS always a bad idea to knock the l other mans home town. Especially poor policy is it when you are making your living there. Yet there are al- ways young men-and women, too who seem to take peculiar satisfaction in passing uncomplimentary comments on the city or town of their adoption. They don't seem to remember that the man or woman who is at home in that town is in a position of host and that to make scathing remarks about the town is almost as rude as to make scathing remarks about the house of the man whose guest you are. Especial ly is this so when the town is small. The stranger in town like New York or Chicago really harms no one forth his disgruntlement over the city of his temporary sojourn. No one takes ofTense. At most they are bored or amused. But when stranger in small town assures the natives that it is away behind the times, that the buildings are atrocious, the streets the worst paved in the country the res taurants and hotels the worst run, the women the plainest and the movies the oldest he is giving real offense, besides, of course, making himself very unpopular.
 It really indicates nothing more than

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BLIGHTY."

T HE number of slang words | and Phrases which have slipped into the language by req son of the, Babel which resulted when men of many nations gath cred in the great melting pot of the allied army is a long one, but one of the most typical is "blighty'-the English collo- quial equivalent for "home."
 Prior to the commencement of the recent great World war the majority of the British army was stationed in India and much of their slang consisted of words and phrases adapted from the language of the na- tives. "Belait7 is a common h. dian name for England, and, as if to add another parent to the ancestral tree of "blighty," the inhabitants of Hindustan speak of sihome" as "bhilati." The similarity of the two eXpreS- sions naturally impressed the British soldier, and it was not long before he corrupted them inte "blighty"-using it as a noun when he referred to his native soil and as an adjective when he wanted to express something connected with his return. A "blighty wound" therefore, meant an injury se- rious enough to necessitate be- ing sent back home to England. While the word failed to gain great popularity among the American soldiers, it appeared with considerable frequency in stories and reports from the front and will doubtless be used far more widely than before.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By (. N. LURE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
ITO ENJOY POOR HEALTH"

T HIS is one of the incorrect phrases \ which have somehow crept into common usage in the English language, although a moments thought will show the speaker or writer that it is absurd to say that a person enjoys poor health. "To enjoy" means ito experience joy or pleasure in; receive pleasure from the possession or use of or participation in; delight in' Standard Dictionary. Why, then, should a person say, T have enjoyed poor health during the past year?" You can enjoy only that which brings you pleasure or profit; and surely i'll health brings neither.
 Of course, it is quite proper to say, q have enjoyed good health," since good health, being the greatest of human Blessings, is to be appreciated and enjoyed.
 A similar error it to be "agreeably' disappointed If you are disappointed, the experience cannot be agreeable.

q persons own narrowness to knock another town in this way. If the man from q large city goes to a small one he should take it for granted that things would be different. If North erner goes South he should bear in mind that Southern climates make | people more indolent and he should re- member that if he remains there long enough he too, will possess something of that indolencc. And if South erner goes North he should remember that the natives of the northern cities have really nothing to do with the raw climate and that the very progressive ness which has brought him North to do business robs daily intercourse of some of the charming courtesy that makes Southern life so different.
 The real man of the world soon for gets any local prejudices he may have, or rather he is wise and well bred enough to forget them. He realizes that it is through no fault of the na- tiyes of the town where he sojourns that he has to remain among them and that theoretically at least he is free to leave the town if he does not like 1t. Just at present there are good many shifts In business and industry. The end of the war and delnobilization of the soldiers and the closing of certain war industries and the be- ginning of other peace industries have made 1t inevitable that q good many young men should find themselves in new environment. City men find themselves in the country or village, and country and village men find themselves for the fist time in the big cities Fasteners find themselves In the West, Westerners find themselves East, Northerners awake to the fact that great opportunities await in the land of cotton and Southerners on dis embarking in the northern ports dis cover that there are opportunities for them there that they have not at home. If you are one of these young men In new environment show your good sense and good breeding by not knocking the town of your sojourn- ing.
