Most dependable of all
Are words constructed from roots
of dead languages
This is the value to scholars of Latin
and Creek
All their meanings have been con-
strued-

Because ancient forms are docu-

Use the dictionary
For word meanings coming through
German, French and Saxon

Their older meanings, rejecting for

Are sometimes at variance with
those accepted today
Words still in the currents of exper-

Washed daily by the stream of

That was evidently the first use of

Even today great numbers are
caught by cutting a hole in the ice
and letting down a dip net or hook

 "The Nome Fair was truly a fine exposition" he said. "The spirit behind it was wonderful, and the exhibits were surpris- ingly good. Much if the success of the Fair was due to the in- terest the natives took in it.
 "The displays of ivory and fur would do credit to the New York or San Francisco Fair.
 "The mining exhibit, I am sure, was the best ever shown in the Territory.
 One would not think that the treeless Nome area had any az ricultural possibilities, but the vegetables exhibits were num- erous and of fine quality.

 Whe nhe returned, the over coat containing pockets full of car keys and personal valuables was gone.
