As to Names.
The late Champ Clark was chris-
tened James Beauchamp Clark, but
he voluntarily dropped the first name,
and later because people would insist
on mispronouncing “Beauchamp," he
rechristened himself with the name by
which he was generally known. Hie
case reminds us of the old darkey’s
plan. The latter was asked: “What
have you named your baby, Rastus?”
“Sam Pro Tern Johnson, sah.”
“What’s the Pro Tem for?”
“To show that the name Is only tem-
porary, sah. We kinder thought Sam
might like to choose his own name
when he growed up, so we put de Pro
Tem as a warning to de public.”—

bald eagle, symbol of American Inde-

said that according to the last authen-

the territory had paid bounties on
over 15,000 eagles.
“When I first discovered this law,"
said Mr. Pearson, “I at once began a
campaign to try to get the bounty law
repealed. It Is my contention that the
killing of these birds should be
stopped until the eagle can have Its

come when the bounty might be taken

Seattle, Wash.—From the remotest,
most inaccessible spot oti earth—the
north pole—a wireless message will he
flashed to the civilized world, if the
plans of Capt. Roald Amundsen, dis-
coverer of the south pole and famous
arctic explorer, are carried out.
Captain Ainumlseii's schooner Maud,
on which lie hoped to drift past the
pole with the lee floes, was disabled
by a broken propeller oft' Cape Siberia,
after he had spent two years In push-
ing around the eastward arctic pas-
sage from Norway. The explorer left
Ids vessel and crew to await a break
in the ice and proceeded to Nome, la-
ter coining to Seattle ou a recent sliip.
Will Install Wireless on Ship.
The Maud has no wireless apparat-
us. but Cnptuin Amundsen expects to
install one when the craft is brought
here some time this summer to be re-
paired and refitted. Captain Amund-
sen explained that his party had been
cut off from communication with other
human beings for two years, with but
one break—his trip out to Nome last
year.
“The war wag In Its most critical
period when we left the world,” he re-
called, “and for months we sjieculated
in vain on the course of events. It
was December. 1919, more than a year
after the signing of the armistice, tliat
we met a Russian trader who told us
what had happened. Then I deter-
mined we would carry wireless.”
To Sail Next Summer.
Captain Amundsen said he would
spend the next year in the United
States, probably most of it around
Seattle, and would snll from this port
next summer.
The last voyage tended only to con- i
firm his previous theories about mag- ]
netlc properties of the polar basin, the
explorer affirmed. He expressed faith
in ids belief that an ocean current run- |
i ings.

dence to prove that its real source was
in the Latin word for light, lux. Many
feminine names have been derived
from this root and the same word has
supplied surnames without number.
It is believed, therefore, that the
noted old gens Lucretius from which
Lucretia is directly descended, was
only another of the derivatives of lux.
“Lucre, combining the fleece under the
midnight lamp,” the famous old Roman
tale, inspired Shakespeare to write one
of his earliest poems. Despite her no-
toriety, Lucretia Borgia probably es-
tablished the name of Lucretia in
Italy, and in early modern times it
was one of the few classical names to
be revived.

ory about Russia is a rifle shot sent
after them while crossing the frontier.
Chessin, in the course of an inter-
view, said, “Lenin’s regime Is a rule
of terror. This Is proved by my own
case. Since 1918 I have spent prac-
tically all my time In prison in a filthy
cell, and but for my wife smuggling
food into prison I would have starved
to death. One hundred of my 125 fel-
low prisoners died from starvation.
Russia today Is a hell; that’s the truth
about Lenin’s Russia. The popula-

houses are demolished by the thou-
sands, In order to obtain house tim-
