Baker & Son Where Quality and Prices Meet Pitfalls of the Big City CHANGE NAME TO ARKANSAW Committee Decided on Indian Name as Official for State Formerly Called Arkansas, The Arkansaws were a tribe of In- dians who roamed the region which now bears their name. When the French missionaries of the time of Marquette came piong, they attempted to reproduce phonetically in French the Indian sounds, So they selected “Arkansas” as the best concoction, for the French ending “as” is pro- nounced as a nasal “agh.” As for Kansas, Cortez pronounced it Kan- saw. In a military report sent at the time, the name was spelled Konsa, for that was the nearest the English could come to reproducing, phoneti- cally, the French sounds. In the early days of Arkansas the pronunciation of the name of the state was a variable thing. From 1844 to 1848 Arkansas was represented in the senate by Chester Ashley, who was a New Englander, and Ambrose Simms, who hailed from Tennessee. Mr. Ash- ley didn’t depart from “Arkansas,” and Mr. Simms stuck to “Arkansaw.” The vice president at the time was George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania, who, it must be admitted, showed much tact; for when he spoke of the state to Ash- ley he said “Arkansas,” and when he mentioned {t to Simms he sald “Arkan- saw.” Finally a committee was ap- pointed to settle the matter definitely and Arkansaw won. The Time Element. When James A. Garfield was presi- dent of Hiram college, a man brought up his son to be entered as a student, He wanted the boy to take a course shorter than the regular one. “My son can never take all those studies,” said the father, “He wants to get through more quickly. Can’t you arrange it for him?” “Oh, yes,” said Mr, Garfield. “He can take a short course; it all depends on what you want to make of him. When God wants to make an oak, He takes 100 years, but He takes only two months to make a squash.”—The Christian Register.

These are the red maple and the sour- wood, or sorrel tree. Both trees are distinctly inclined to form a twisting growth, and in practically all cases of pronounced twisting the maple turns to the left and the sourwood to the right. Not more than one or two trees in a hundred of either species wll be found departing from this rule. No very satisfactory attempt has been made by scientists to explain why so many plants of twining habit have adopted definite ‘and constant directions of curvature. It has been suggested that In some species of vines the tip of the growing plant is attracted by and drawn toward the sun, resulting In a left, or “anti-clock- wise,” curvature; while in other spe- cies the tip is repelled by the sun, causing It to bend to the right in a “clockwise” fashion, What She Will Be Later, Geneva soon will be four years old and she is a most precocious young- ster.
