There are men who know where these water holes aré—men who have discovered them and men who erect signs to point the way to them. But after these real hu- man beings have gone to all the trouble of erecting the signs, putting directions on them as best they can, the selfish trav- elers come along and, needing the signs for firewood, destroy them. “Just for the satisfaction of & moment, the afility§ that comes from a_ kindling fire which could be bullt with a lt- tle more effort if the parties were to search for the firewood without using the guideposts, some people jeopardize the lives of those who follow them. | That ts the story of Death valley. | The place has many tragedies to its record, but one-half if not more of them could have been averted if human nature had kept itself in control; If selfish- ness were not such a strong trait. Death valley isn't half so dangerous to mankind as these men,” * $$$ $ $$$ A mouth with the upper lip curved, the lower lip straight, full and well defined, and a depression underneath, shows a high artistic sense, a love of ease and beauty, a fine moral nature and a certain coldness of tempera- | ment in the mountains west of Austin, But the most unusual tale is told by an aggregation of anglers who have just returned from a camp on the Peder- nales river, 35 miles west of this city. In this party were several men who have been up against many rattle- A Huge Rattlesnake Was Found on the Book. snakes, but this ts the first time that | any of them made the discovery that | a rattlesnake fed on fish According to the story a throw line baited with small perch had been put out into the river. One of the party, fishing with rod and reel, later had pulled the throw line partly in to get It out of the way, and tn doing this one hook, still baited with perch, was left hanging above the water. The next morning @ huge rattlesnake was found on the exposed hook. It is stated that the snake was as large around as the arm of the average man. The snake was killed and the perch, which had attracted it to the hook, was found in the reptile’s mouth. The crop of snakes, especially the rattlesnake species, is larger this year than in years. This is attributed to the past mild winter, Moccasins swarm the smaller creeks and there are moccasins in the larger streams. The Colorado river has a good sized quota. While many of the snakes seen in the streams are the harmless water snakes, there is an abundance of the rusty and poisonous species of the moccasin, GOT ITS NAME FROM STREAM How New York's Famous “Maiden Lane” Received Nomenclature That Is World Famous. Maiden lane, the home of the jew- elry and diamond business in New that fact, received its name before tt was a street. It took it from a very pretty little stream that ran across that part of the city. It was the cus: tom in that day, before the time wringers and washing machines, the young women to do the family washing. The clothes were carried here and the day spent in cleansing them in what is described as a rippling brook. Some of the men who have dug into New York's early history profess to have discovered that It was also a place where the young men of the thne repaired, being pretty certain of getting a chance to talk with the girls The stream was outside the city as | it existed at that time, most of it be | ing behind the big wooden wall that Peter Stuyvesant had built, so that with the family wash. There ts noth- ing to show that Monday was then the popular washday with families, as it is now and was later. But it likely the Dutch began to get things to rights early in the week, and it probably was Monday that saw the greatest gathering of dens along the little stream, washing and rinsing clothes. is How We Got Word “Fluke.” The word “fluke” traces its direct ancestry to the Anglo-Saxon word “floc,” which ts first cousin to the Icelandic “floki.”| There ure several kinds of flukes. There is the fish commonly designated in hich priced restaurants as “filet of sole.” There is the broad portion of an anchor, the part thut does the business of digging into the mud and holding the boat. And there is the happy chance by which a player wins a game. There is so strong a resemblance in shape between the business end of an anchor and the fish called a fluke that the application of the word to the anchor is perfectly logical, There is also so strong a resem- blance between the awkwardness of the fish called a fluke and the awk- wardness of a player who makes a York, and known over the world for | of | for | | there you are. in order to get to Maiden lane It was | necessary to go out through the gute | billiard shot by afi accident, that such a shot can quite appropriately be de- scribed as a “fluke.”—-Milwaukee Sentinel. How Word “Hussy” Came. Did it ever occur to you that there is no reproach necessarily implied in the use of the word “hussy?” Well, there {su't, on the authority of the dic- tionary, “Hussy” is a corruption of “huswife,” an abbreviation corresponding to the word “hubby” for husband. Huswife, in its turn, is another form of house wife. Of course the corruption or abbrevia- tion of “housewife” originally carried the meaning of endearment or familiar | appellation, But the word has traveled a long way—and It has traveled downward— in the course of the centuries. So in its modern meaning, actual or implied— the word “hussy” is not recommended for use, even under provocation For “hussy,” as now used, means “a pert, forward girl; n° jade; a jit.” Se Milwaukee Journal. Why Some Men Like Golf. “What ts there about golf that gives “u man such a sense of freedom and exhilaration?” “IT don't know,” replied Mr. Grow- cher, “unless it's the privilege of promenading over the landscape with- out being warned to keep off the grass.’ Why Radio Appeals. There was a time when wireless telegraphy appealed only to the called amaceur, and his Interest was rather directed toward the technical end than the mere pleasure of gather- ing messages out of the air for what- ever they were worth. With the es- tablishing of government radio reports and a number of radio telephone broadcasting stations throughout the country, radio reception becomes a matter of considerable interest to everyone, especially persons in remote districts who are ordinarily more or less out of touch with the world at large. Today the farmer, the business man in the small village, the camper and others can use a simple receiving set and keep posted on what is going on in commerce, politics, sports, stock and bond market, and even religion. — Scientific American. Why the “Emerald Isle.” Because of the richness of !ts ver- dure, the term being first used by Dr. William Drennan, the author of “Glen- dalloch” and other poems, published in the latter part of the elghteenth century. 80- Asphait Lake Renews itself, The Trinidad asphalt “lake” is so hard and solid that it bears the weight of a narrow-gauge railway. The as- phalt is dug out tn large lumps with a mattock, The holes thus made grad- ually fill up and in a week all traces of digging have disappeared, - Telephone Traffic The signals of the traffic officer are obeyed instantly by the intelligent citizen, as he realizes that indifference means confusion and congestion. Over the wires and through the switchboards of the telephone com- pan trafic. there is a constant volume of Here there is also a signal— the ringing of the telephone bell. A great obstacle in the flow of this traffic is delay in answering the telephone bell. Answer promptly. telephone bell mg ou will accommodate the party calling.
