by some word which merely signifies
the water, a mountain may have
name which means "the peak," "the
castle," "the point,"
English place names generally state
some simple fact, and often denote
no more than property; the name of
town or hamlet being formed by
adding "ton" or "ham" to the name
of some early landholder.
Quite often a lilt of even hnlf-hu-

such a name, ns when a stony, starved

Henry Watterson Wrote Feelingly on
the Brute Nature of Mankind,
When Herded In Groups.
The people en masse constitute what
we call the nioba. Mobs have rarely
been right never except when capa

Paris that made the Reign of Terror.
Mobs have seldom been tempted, even
though they had small chance to go
wrong, that they have not gone wrong.
The "people" Is a fetish. It waa
thft people, misled, who precipitated
the South Into the madness of seces

Watterson In " 'Murse Henry,' an Au

Under English Law It Was Punishable
by Death Until Comparatively
Recent Years.
Forgeries are not modern crimes.
In 1032, the fifth year of Elizabeth's
reign, the British parliament passed
a special act against forgery "to
amend the small, mild and easy pun
ishment" then In force. By tills act
any person found guilty of forgery
was sentenced to pay double costs nnd
damages, was to be set In the pillory
In some open market town, and there
publicly to have both ears cut off, his
nostrils slit and cut, and scared with
a hot Iron, "so as they remain for a
perpetual mark of his falsehood," the
unhappy forger to Anally lose all his
possessions and be Imprisoned for
life.
In 1034, according to Edward n.
Smith, In the Saturday Evening Post,
forgery was mado a "capital offense
without benefit of clergy," which meant
that a man might not escape the gib
bet on account of high birth In case
he were convicted as a forger. This
monstrous law remained In effect un
til 00 years ago, when many types of
forgery were taken off the lists of
capital crimes, along with such fa
miliar offenses as burglary, brigand
age, picking pockets and stealing
bread.
8treet Nomenclature.
Tiie practice of giving numbers nnd
letters instead of names to the streeta
and avenues of our cities Is so familiar
to us that It excites no thought, ex
cept of Its convenience. But It Is a
practice often remarked upon by for

States and as evidence of the matter
of fact, unimaginative character of our
people.

"Flower of the Devil."
"Flower of the Devil" is a strange

of Fuego volcano in Guatemala, one
of the few places In the world where
it Is known to occur. It has beautiful
foliation, velnlng und stem, and appears
full blown when just unfolding from
the bud. This effect Is formed by a
parasite which enters the wood and
dies ufter outing portions of It away,
a process which In time produces the
results described. Tradition, however,
ascribes a different origin. Years ago,
when the Spaniard ruled the country,
a fair Indian mulden was supposed
to have betrayed certain tribal se

threw her into the fiery water of Fuego
In expiation of her sin, and once every

Are You Concerned in Your
Telephone Service?
Telephone service is now universally recognized as a necessity in busi
ness and social life. In your own business every day a hundred details
are disposed of by telephone which would require weeks of lime and cost
you many times over your present expense if they had to await the slow
and antiquated methods of a few years ago. In your home the convenience
and adaptability of telephone service make the day's duties easy, which,
if the telephone were absent, would prove to be a slow and cumbersome
task. In other words, the telephone is indispensable in your otiice and
your home.
This being true, you are concerned in whether or not the Company
which furnishes you service can continue and improve and extend th'
service. You are interested in whether or not money can be obtained to
maintain and build up the system which is trying to keep race with Ore
gon growth and progress.
Neither the telephone company nor any other public sen ice company
can go ahead if its revenues are not sufficient to maintain and operate its
property and pay a fair earning on the money necessary to extend its
business to meet the public demand.
You are interested It is your service.
