keeper for miles around. Her
neighbors described her kitchen floor
as $50 clean you could eat off it,. But

noon when I was playing with her
children and ran into the kitchen to
get q drink of water. I had turned
on the faucet over the black sheet

appeared in the kitchen doorway, an
agonized expression on her face.
"Oh, mother will be mad at YOU,
she whispered. you've let the sink
get all wet. She always oils 1t right

SIGSBEE DIES
CONTINUED from Page One)

Suspend judgment" urged Sigs-
bee in his first report. His calm WIS,
dom did much to prevent the United
States from rushing into war imme-
diately. He accompanied the court
of inquiry in it's investigation or the
wreck, and his expert knowledge
helped it to arrive at decision as
to the cause of the disaster.
"The question has been asked
many times" said the Admiral years
after the tragedy, whether believ-
ed then that the Maine was blown
I'D from the outside. My answer mas
been that my first order on reaching
the deck was to post sentries to repel
boarders."
Admiral Sigsbee added fresh laur-
| els to his fame in the war that soon
| followed the disaster. AS commander
of the St Paul, q trans Atlantic liner
| converted into an auxiliary cruiser,
he captured the Spanish collier Res
| tormel carrying coal to Cervera. ana
! thus sealed the fate Of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago. The cruiser lsa-
bella III and the destroyer Terror both
hauled down their flags and surrend-
cred to him.
The naval career of Sigsbee began
when he was boy of IA years. Born
| in Albany, n. ". in 1845, he entereu
| Annapolis in 1859 and was graduated
| four years later. He was asslgneu
, to the West Gulf SQUADRON, ana az
| the age of 10 was following Admlrai
Farragut as an ensign through the
| battle of Mobile Bay. At 20 he was
| fighting under Porter at Fort t1sher
! and at % he had been promoted 10
| the rank of lieutenant commander.
| During the 33 years of peace tnat
followed the Civil War, Sigsbee won
| fame and promotion as an inventor
| Among other duties through that Pc
Rod he was assigned to explore the
sea bottom. Here his inventive genius
came to the fore and he invented IN
struments for deep sea exploratioi,
! that are used today without material
| change. The German government acc.
grated him with the Red Eagle OF
Prussia at the suggestion OF eX-Eih-
peror William, and he also received d
gold medal at the London international
Fisheries Exhibition for these achieve
ments.
| At the age of IS Sigsbee was promot-
Cd to the rang of rear admiral. He
| rounded out his naval career during
it's last decade as chief intelligence OF
| ficer. commander of the League lslano
| navy yard; commander of the South
| Atlantic squadron, and as COMMANDER
| of the second division of the Nortn
Atlantic fleet. On his ed birthday
January 16, 1907--he was placed on
the retired list of rear admirals.
i After leaving active service he ire
uuently appeared in public as lee
turer and also on commissions per-
l tanning to the Maine. He was the au-

20 years and many of them are badly
worn. necessitating the change. The

What "Amen" Means

A wealth of significance is stored
up in the word amen.
Amen was one of the oldest deities
of the ancient Egyptians, and one Of
their chief gods. His emblem was a
man wearing red crown, surmount-
ed by the disc Of the sun, in token Of
his dominion over both the earth and
the heavens.
His name means hidden" or "con-
cealed", while one Of his titles was
his mother, thus sig:nifying that the
deity in question was at the same
time the oldest and the youngest Of
created beings.
In the Hebrew language amen"
signifies strength or trustworthinsss

Where Missouri Got Its Name

In 1712 Missouri got its name from
the fact that a tribe of Indians
known as "Missouris," inhabited the
country at the rivers mouth, the
same probably now embraced within
the limits of Saint Louis county.
Missouri does not and never did
properly mean Muddy Water" but
wooden Canoe" The name Mis-
souris or Missouri was originally ap-
piled by the Indians living west of
the Mississippi and along the shore
of the Missouri. The term meant
1.-THE people who use wooden canoes"
The Lake Michigan Indians used
birch bark canoes, as did Marquette
and Joliet in their descent of the
Wisconsin to the Conception while
the Indians on the muddy river used
canoes dug out of logs, because the
birch bark canoes were too frail for
the navigation Of the turbulent
stream.
The first reference to the Missouri
tribe of Indians made by European
was by Marquette in a letter written
in 1870 to La Mercier, his Father
Supeior, as Indians "who use canoes
