Although the story might not indicate it, the game provided thrills aplenty; albeit , not as dashing as the, opening; game of the league a week, before. The shopmen lacked physical stamina and wind, to cope with the highs success . fully. For five minutes at the start . the Geddes prodegies played the high jbchool to a standstill viciously;' were cn the offensive and were playing : rings around the high school., Then . their, pace slackened and the highs speeded up and before the first half was over, the scholastics had a good lead that .increased toward the end as the team got its old time Bnap and rpeed into smooth running. .-, Coach Olsan'a men found, the basket with . more accuracy too, toward the , last and had the Shopmen , completely non r hissed, for they couldn't keep i the pace. . The high school quint has the advantage over all the other teams . in the league in the matter of phy . sical fitness and this advantage was manifest last night. ; v .. The ' splendid form shown while they were steamed up at the start, convinces the, fans, of whom mo.iy were out last night, that the shops will be in the race at the finish for the building; though largely inexpert enced, they have determination and ambition that is bound to win for them in the end.

Alfred Tennyion. - THE WORD "WINTER." 8aid to' Have Originally Indicated Wet ' . nesa, Not Coldness. - There is a prevailing Impression that there is something iu the word "win ter" that signifies cold, and the sea. sou Is usually associated with the Idea of low; temperature, but where .the word ; originated there was little of winter as we understand It,' while there was a great deal of moisture at the time the earth was nearest to the sun, so that it Is not the temperature, but the atmospheric condition that baa given us the word. : 1 f The word "winter,"' ntt we use it, is found with but slight modifications la nil the branches of the Aryan ' lan guages, for the Idea of wetness asso ciated with the .seasou was given to It before the Aryan family was divided. . If we go to the root of the word we flud "wad.", with the slgnlUcattou of to wash out, or to moisten, or to make wet Our Aryan ancestors used that root to apply to all conditions of moisture, -and ninny words besides winter have grown out of It, wet and water being among them. . This root "wad" Is In the Sanskrit aa "udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has "wae ter," and in Latin we have "unda," wave, from whleu we get our "Innn date." . . Y :' -. ' Our Danish and Swedish cousins changed the "w" into a "v" and have "vlnter." . In Icelandic it Is "vetir," and the old bigb German has "win tar," and It Is "winter" In German. Those four words are a11 from the Teutonic base "wata." which means wet. So it has been moisture that has liep.i' Indicated from the birth of the root on which all of the different words In a dozen languages have grow.

They've each contributed in abundance to dairing, adventure and recreation. We've bagged game of almost every description native to the swamps of the South. Every day we have had a chase with the hounds, which art) very successful. , . We leave here 15th inst. going far into Florida. Ibe weather is un usually warm. Just outside the win dow near where I write stands a beau tiful orange tree. A few feet distant our eyes pleasantly ' gaze . upon a sweet jesamine, a fifteen minutes walk will bring us beneath the shades of a thousand or more magnolias. The foliage of the above mentioned, ex cept the orange, is so thick it is easy to keep dry in the heaviest rains.' Here in the land of nature's sweet repose wa are blessed with Spring, Summer and Autumn. Three in one, f o to speak. The landscape is cover id with green fresh vegetation. The ?wy rays beat down on us like Oregon Summer, while everywhere we be hold evidence of Autumn by the fall ing of the leaves of a great number of trees in the orchards and forest.
