s 0 R It All Looked Funny Then After having looked into one of | those mirrors, commonly found in furnished summer cottages, at vnri-' ous intervals during the past two | ‘weeks, itsis now much easier to see| the funny side of life. | —If There Is One— Useful in His Business A book agent was seated in the dentist’s chair when the doctor asked | him if he should remove the nerve with the tooth. To this query the book agent qmckly objected, statmg that he needed it in his business. { Only just the other day we saw| @he book agent again, and we are safe in sayirg that the doctor complied | with his request. | —He Still Has the Nerve— I It’s the Stop That Counts When a person falls it makes very | little difference whether it was the Newton theory or the Einstein theory | that brought him nearer to nature. —Not a Case of Relativity— i And Still Speeding When we take into consideration | the number of automobile accidents which have already been reported in the daily newspapers all over the country so far this season, we are safe | in saying that the mdlcfltmns are thati by late fall there will be a bumper | crop. ir | | { —Giddap— i 4 Something Anyway | About the only thing a man ever brings back from a vacation is a bat- tered suitcase and a coat of tan. —Try It— ' Taking the Joy Out of Life Now that the season of the year has progressed to such a stage where we are getting used to seeing winter| | furs adverticed in August, we sup- pose some old joy-killer of a mer. chant will come along soon and ad- vertise a special sale on snow shoes. —Or Winter Underwear— ¥ On Vacation Also While on a two weeks’ vacation re- cently, 2 man ran across one of those old-fashioned alarm clocks that was so set ir} its ways that it still believed in daylight savings. You could set it for 5 o’clock and it would ring at four. —But It Wouldn’'t Run— And They Tasted That Way Also Northern Minnesota’s lakes are fill- with fish (lots of other fishes besides) and in one of these lakes where the | water is in many places shullow, we understand that fishermen quite often| catch flat fish.

The conquerors set the Wyandots to rule the territory for them. The rea- son was that they had beheld the ruin of the tribes in the eastern part of the country at the hands of the white settlers, and they wanted a haven of refuge to which they could resort This reserved land they called the “Land of Tomerrow”—that is, the land in which they intended to live if ousted from their existing homes. Horoscopic. Persons horn between June 21 and July 22, when the sun is'In Cancer, are characterized by a sympathetic, per- sistent, and strong-willed nature; feelings easily hurt; love money; qu_v.K fond of fine clothes, selfish and jeal- ous; lovers of home withal; fine in- tellects, and much’ executive ability. Persons born between July 22 and August 22, when the sun is in Leo, have much self-control, magnetism, sympathy, and generosity. They are good nurses, good cooks, and good stery tellers. Their intuition often helps them e pe from the conse- quences of ‘their actions. They must fight against prejudice, arrogance, laziness, and love for creature com- forts, Steam Up.

Con- nelly,” finds that 'the state of Ohio got ity title from the river that marks its eastern and southern boundaries, but he denies that the French, who called it “LaBelle Riviere,” the beau- tiful river, ever got its title ‘from the Indians. In Colonial times it was} spoken of as the “River Red With Blood,” or the *Bloody River.” The word Ohio means.great, not beautiful, and is Iroquois. The Wyandot vari- ant is O-he-zhu, and the Oneida, O-he. The Wyandots, who, with the Shaw-{ nees, ‘lived in Ohio, called the strenm the O-he-zhu, the great river, and this applied to the w: trom (he source to the Gulf of Mexico. not the: Mississippi, was to them the main -'stream. Therefore, it~is “the great,” not “the béautiful,” river. The last was purely French in conception, and was fully justified. Did ‘He Wax Enthusiastic?
