"Loborers' Land" Real
Meaning of L0brado o.

According to Scandinavian sagus,
Biorn and Eric the Red discovered
Labrador about the year 1904
writer In the Pathfinder Magazine
tells us. They named It Helluland,
land of slate or naked rocks. Tho
modern discoverer OF Labrador was
John Cabot who visited II in 1877. the
year he discovered Newfoundland.
There are two explanations of how the
region received Its present name. Ac-
cording to tradition, u Basque whaler
named La Bradore settled In the bay
Of that name about 1920. Afterwari
the whole region came to be call, q
Labrador after the name OF this first
visitor. But this account OF the naIn.
ing of Labrador is not generally &C
cepted by historians. The more prob
able origin Of the name Is as follows /:
The name is of Portuguese origin and
means ''laborer" In 1900 Cortereal
took to Portugal cargo Of natives
from this region. Many say they were
Eskimos, but 1t Is more probable that
they were ordinary Indians. AT any
rate, the natives seemed so well adapt
ed for laborers that King Emmanuel
thought that he had come into posses
sion Of another slave coast whence
slaves might be exported to the Por
tuguese colonies. Hence the name
Labrador" or laborers' land

Many Mistake Hurry as
Sign of Efficiency

Impotence Is malady that af.
fiicts a large proportion OF Americans
This Is manifest in many ways. Long
before train reaches the station,
many get up and stand in the aisle,
as II that would cause the train to ar
rive q bit sooner. Some feel that
It Ia necessary to be the FIRST to alight,
though they may not be pressed for
time at all. II a train Is a few min
utes late In arriving, Impotence is ex-
pressed in remarks about the poor
management of the road.
II these impatient people wait five
minutes for street car, they declare
It is half hour and conclude that the
road has quit running cars. II an ele-
vator Is not available the instant they
want It, they push the button and
fuss and fume. It Is not unusual for
pedestrian to take chance on
a crossing and then turn and watch
the train 60 by. II Is not the value
Of time which makes such people hurry
80. Instead of being as busy as they
think they are. they are merely lmpa-
tiert.
III impotence were indicative Of
zeal and efficiency in achievement 1t
might be regarded with tolerance.
The person who makes time really
count does not hurry. Hurry does not
mean rapid work. Haste often makes
waste Often we have watched con-
ductor on a crowded suburban train.
He had limited time to get through
the train, yet he never hurried. At
the same time he was able to punch
more tickets per minute than an
other In such hurry that he. resem-
bled a storm In going through the
cars.
Impotence leads to huster, and fius-
ter Interferes with efficiency. Impa-
thence, possibly, is but a manifesto
ton of the rage for speed. Speed d.
rected In little circles does not carry
one far from the starting point.-Pitts-

Seek Handkerchief Origin

II Is difficult to assign a period and
country Of origin to the handker-
chief But It seems to have been
known In remote ages, and traces OF
II are to be found among the Egyp,
tlans. On the contrary. strange Ms II
may seem, the Greeks appear not to
have used handkerchiefs says the De.
trOlt News. Passing from the Greeks
to the Romans, we find that the latter
had something Of the kind which they
called "sudarium" (sudor, sweat. II
was Of the finest lace and was used
chiefly as an ornament and as a fan
during the games In the circus.
For many centuries afterward there
Is no mention Of handkerchiefs, and
we only find traces OF them about 1860
In Italy. For many years the hand
kerchief was round and oval, and II
was not TIL the time OF Louis XVI that
It became square.

Word of Caution Re-

Nature is again awakening from it's gethargic slumber. The murmuring brooks and streams are rnshing madly on wards to the mighty waters of the Bering sea.
 Thswinter snows are disappearing fast, And all the countryside is putting on the new cloak of spring.
 Far up in the sky can we hear the honking, cloaking calls of the return ing water fowl.
 Everywhere Nature teens with glad ness, for on every hand there is re- newal of life. Our many migratory feathered songsters are here once more to cheer with their songs and happy srolics the lives of lonely men and women scattered throughout this great Northland.
 Who has not listened to the robin as he sang the old love song, so full of wealth of feeling?
 Who has not watched the busy build lngIof little nest, or seen the great care of the mother bird as she was trying to bring new life into this world?
 What, if may ask my friend and reader, have you done to repay for all the songs and joys of life that you have gleaned from our little feathered friendsy

 James Standish fined for being ve- hemently suspected of being drunk.
 Henry Walton fined for saving he had as leave to hear dog bark as to hear Reverend Cobbell preach.
 John Study fined for stealing his masters OK and selling it to him.

 John Russell whipped for beating his wife.
 Philip Crumwell fined for not living with his wife.
 William Claus whipped for spying into the chamber of his master and re- porting what he saw.

our little songsters, where maybe but stamp of the foot or & little care on someone's part would have prevented the calamity.
 We all know that each and every living thing is alittle world unto itself.
 Let us all resolve that in so far as lies in our power we will see that no menacing fires shall molest our little animal kingdom.
 Be assured, dear reader, that we all will be amply repaid for our little trouble when through the midsummer days the young birds will join in the chorus of our old friends in their song of thanks. Y. s.
