"Hoe Latin" Lost Art

"The younger generation may be
able to brag about lots of accomplish
ments that we old timers didn't have, .
said an Atkinson avenue resident of
long standing, ''but there is one art
that we cherished as boys that is dy-
ing. When l was a youngster we con-
versed frequently in Hog Latin and
got the greatest thrill out of believ-
ing that no one else could understand
US. The other day / happened to
think of that, and l haven't forgotten
q bit of the stuff can still rattle off
those twisted syllables just as well as
/ ever could, and the youngsters Of
mine who go to college and talk
French and Spanish and very modern
English sat in wonder and thought
that l had gone crazy. / guess that
they had just the feeling have when
they shout at me in French or that

EASY TO PREDICT
TERRORS TO COME
Prophets of EDil Always
Haze Followers.

For years England has awaited the
appearance of "Old Moore's Alma
mack" and has provided a market for
1t. 1t is purely astrological, and the
1926 issue, now on the English mar
ket, is said to furnish more than the
customary number of thrills Indeed,
one feels that the seer has been too
lavish in that he has left little for
1927.
We get this, for instance: won
derment and amazement will hold you,
as in spell, when the possibilities
of 1926 are laid bare. License, de
bauchery, lawlessness, self-indulgence.
rioting, improvidence, murder, theft
and violence will attend the loosing
of the unbridled passions of a per-
verted and goddess generation. The
sickle is put into reaping and the
world generally will become so deci-
mated during the ensuing four years
that nothing short of divine interven-
ton will save it from self-destruction."
The newspapers will surely be kept
busy.
Offhand, one might say that Old
Moore had driven himself into blind
alley and that the close of the year
to come would find him discredited,
but this is unlikely. We may think
for a moment of astrologers of the
past, to say nothing of minor prophets
who term themselves experts. Only
little less than 100 years ago learned
men asserted that no railroad train
could exceed a speed of 40 miles an
hour because of the resistance OF the
atmosphere. Steamships could never
cross the Atlantic because they could
not be made large enough to carry
aught save their own machinery and
fuel. OF course, nothing heavier than
air could contrive to make Roadway
in the air.
Even before the World war began
experts said that no war could con-
tinue for more than 60 days, because
of the expense, which was another
predicament in which supposedly in
telligent forecasters erred, but they
are still in good standing, SO the tribe
of astrologers have no occasion for
anxiety. Certainly the assembler OF
woes who furnishes "Old Moore's AL
manack" to a waiting world is safe,
for some of the things he predicts in
such a lavish manner must be real
lied.
If they were not, it would make lit
tie difference, for since the world be-
gan or, to be more exact, since man
became curious as to his future, sooth-
sayers have been well patronized just
as they are today. That they err fire.
quently or even generally has no eff
feet upon their popularity and astrol-
ogers and mediums find an increasing
demand for their services.-Hartford
Courant.

Plan Ideal Marriages

Latest of the additions to Berlin's
myriad clubs and vereins is the
Bachelor club. The members pledge
themselves not to marry until they
have amassed a capital of 100000
marks (nominally $23, 800) and then to
marry none but poor girls. The club
members believe that the root of the
social unrest is misery and that most
marriages that fail are shipwrecked
OF Indulgence. Therefore, they believe
the ideal marriage demands a COM
fortably situated husband and a girl
he loves.

The Bible Class

At a Brooklyn reception President
Butler of Columbia said of the funda-

evolved from the ape or was created
in Eden, and whether Joshua really

Aged Resident
Passes Away,


Mrs. Mary G. English, member
of the Minnesota Chippewas and
long a resident of White Earth
passed away at the noon hour last
Saturday at the home of her
nephew, Mr.. Frank Warren in
this village.
Mrs. English had been failing
in health for several years and of
late had been very feeble and IN.
able to leave her bed. Death re-
suited from infirmities due to ad-
vanced age, she would have been
81 years of age in October next.
The aged lady was among the
first settlers of this reservation
and prominent among the Chippe-
was and we'll known throughout
this section of state. She resided
for time at Red Lake, but for
the past thirty years nas made her
home with her nephew, Mr.. Frank
Warren, in this village. Possessed
of kind and loving disposition
her demise is a sad blow to her
many friends and relatives.
Of her immediate family only
one sister, Mrs. Sophia Warren of
White Earth, survive her, she
leaves, however, a large number
Of relatives to mourn her loss.
The funeral, attended by large
number of Borrowing friends, was
held on Monday afternoon from
St. Columbus Episcopal church
and interment made in the church
cemetery.
The Tomahawk joins with other
friends in extending sympathy to
those bereaved.

What sort of citizenship is

has guardian and a trustee of its
property; and, the design seems co
be to hold all such property until
several Acts of Congress give the

crash difficult to recover or rise
again. Is this truth9 The Indian
is like any other nationality in that

must lose to gain real freedom in
citizenship. If citizenship costs
him nothing then it is worth to
him little or nothing. This fact

May Close Sand
Beach Sanatorium.

The county commissioners OF
Becker county adopted a resolu-
ton at meeting the fore part of
this month which may be the be-
ginning of the end of the Sand
Beach Sanatorium for tuberculosis
patients at Lake Park. The reso.
luton recities that it is costing the
taxpayers of Becker county from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year to main
tain the saDatorium, ard that the
number of Becker county patients
in it does not justify such an ex-
penditure.
The sauatorium is operated by
Cay and Becker counties jointly,
and the commissioners propose to
find out if some other county or
counties will not join with them in
its operation, and pay a part of
the cost. If no such county or
counties can be found, the com.
missloners propose to confer with
Clay county with view to closing

There are a good many people
drinking today. thoughtlessly, reck-
lessIy, because It is clever. or expen-

and not because they have an appetite
for drink. Otherwise sensible people
take the habit lightly, girls joke about

dren play with fire, and middle-aged
people take it to prove that they can
afford the stuff. City officials wink
at it and order the police to arrest no
one unless 1t is absolutely impossible

do anything to help matters except to
try to decide whether prohibition is

in fourth place, out of the nine
teams entered. Cody won two games

game was fast and furious from the
start, with Cody in the lead up
until the last second of the game.

The games were played in the

A TRIBUTE TO COL. w. F. CODY
A son of the mighty unknown West,
With its miles of shifting sand,
He cherished the scenes of Nature best,
Its call to the desert land.
The call was waited upon the breeze.
The call of the magic West;
He heard it whispering through the trees,
And he loved that call the best.
Out where the deer and Buffalo Roam.
Far out where the scenes were wild;
Out where the Indian and his home,
Was the home of Natures child.
Out, far out, to the mountains grand,
With submits that reach the sky,
Out, yes out to the unknown land,
He had heard Dame Nature cry.
The solitude of the endless plains,
Was music to such as he;
In every breeze he heard the strains
Of the call of liberty.
He told the tale for many a year,
To the great in every cline;
OF mighty deeds on the great frontier,
With a dignity sublime.
The kings and queens of the earth stood still,
And listened with silent mien,
When they heard the tales of Buffalo Bill,
And the things that he had seen.
He founded a city far away,
By the side of the mountains grand.
The western spirit had its sway,
In his own. his chosen land.
He longed to rest in the quiet grave,
Near the scenes he loved so well;
On mountain top neal a lonely cave,
Was the place he chose to dwell.
He sleeps, alas, now his strength is spent,
In a strange but lovely spot.
We point with pride to this monument.
Our friend. We forget thee, not.
