Centennial State Colorado is called the Ceiitennlal state because It was admitted into the Union as a state In 1S70, the centennial cen-tennial of the adoption of the Declaration Dec-laration of Independence. Colorado was proclaimed a state on August 1, 1S70, by President Grant. The name Colorado Is merely the Spanish word for red. Automobile Repair Service Automobile repair service, like any other line of public service, must be more than just the ability to correct the trouble. Experience and knowledge is back of real repair service together with honest advice for the car owner. We give our customers the right kind of service service we would expect to get ourselves. our-selves. CAR REPAIRING BATTERY REPAIRING State Street Garage Connects Common Word With Interesting Story Probably none of our readers think of "sack" as a word In any way remarkable, re-markable, but Dr. C. G. Williamson In his book "Curious Survivals" reminds us thai the word has a strange origin and Is connected with a curious story. We probably got that word "sack," he says, from a Coptic or Egyptian word "sok," which means a kind of canvas or cloth from which a bag was made. The word survives sacklncloth. The story is that the word "sok" was the last word uttered before the tongues were confounded at Babel and that consequently It appears In every language In an almost Identical form. Curiously enough, the second statement state-ment is true. The Irish "sac" Is the same as the French word; the Latin "saccus" is closely related to the Italian "sacco" and to the Spanish "saco." In Greek it is "sakkos," in Hebrew" "sak or "saq," in Egyptian or in Coptic "sok," in Dutch "zak" and In Swedish "sack"; and the same word appears in many other languages without any real change. In slang or colloquial talk we now apply it in quite another fashion ; when we talk of a person's getting the sack we Intend delicately to intimate inti-mate that he has been discharged from his employment That use we probably prob-ably derive from the Turkish custom of getting rid of undesirable persons by putting them into a sack and throwing throw-ing them into the Bosporus. Youth's Companion. Large and Small Sums Swell Conscience Fund At the United States Treasury, department de-partment in Washington there is a conscience con-science fund and it is growing rapidly. Conscience-stung individuals from all sections of the country, and even in foreign lands, frequently send In sums of money to make good frauds that they have perpetrated on Uncle Sam. Since the first contribution of five dollars dol-lars more than 100 years ago, the fund has grown to nearly $000,000. Those who contribute to this fund hardly ever give their authentic names, and few go to the trouble to explain how they came to unjustly get Into possession of government property or money. These contributions have varied from a one-cent postage stamp to $30,000. At the present time the annual receipts are said to amount to over $5,000. The largest contribution, that of $30,000, was accompanied by a brief note stat ing that it was the final installment on an $S0,000 payment which was four times the amount the sender had stolen. The most frequent contributors contribu-tors to this fund are little children who send in a few cents to make good canceled can-celed postage stamps which they have used Illegally. These small remittances, It Is said, are often accompanied by the most pathetic notes allowing the mental tribulations suffered by the writers. Pathfinder Magazine. Old Chapel Uncovered The lost chapel of St. Patrick has been unearthed at St David's, in Pembrokeshire, Pem-brokeshire, England. This relic of bygone by-gone days stands ten feet from the highest point reached by the tide, and was originally covered with windblown wind-blown sand, .over which turf grew to a depth of from six to twelve Inches. All the walls have been uncovered. un-covered. The chapel faces east-northeast The measurement of the walls Is as follows: Upper end, sixteen feet eight Inches; lower, fifteen feet three Inches; side walls, each thirty-five feet At the east end was an altar, nearly four feet long and three feet wide. St David sent St Patrick to Ireland as a missionary, and the site of the chapel is about half a mile from St David's head, which Is the nearest point to the isle of Erin. Beet Send Scouts for Food Aa eminent German professor who has made a profound study of bees states that bees do a sort of fox trot and rely much on their dancing as a means of communicating ideas to their associates. In experiments the professor pro-fessor said he learned that bees send out scouts to search for food. The scouts, if successful, return to the hives and then execute a dance, which attracts their associates who smell the perfume the scouts have collected and then follow the scouts back to where the food awaits them. The professor pro-fessor says he also has learned that bees are unable to distinguish scarlet, but readily recognize other colors. He asserts that he has' fed bees on all colors and has proved that they are blind only to the crimson hue. Iron Rust Drives Fish From River in Siberia n you Imagine a river that gets rusty? There is one which Is subject to this phenomenon the River Ob, which falls Into the Arctic ocean and runs through the north of Siberia. The Ob contains a great amount of iron. Every year when it freezes over the iron Is cut off from the air. The result Is that the metal precipitates, or, In other words, Instead of being dissolved In the water, becomes 8 solid. , , The whole underside of the Ice is covered thickly with rust, and even the fish and other creatures become rusty. In the lower reaches, where ice does not form, the water, ordinarily ordi-narily quite clear, becomes cloudy and discolored. The whole river, 2,300 miles long, becomes poisonous. People living near it have to quench their thirst with melted snow, and most of the fish leave the river and seek safety in the sea. They are told by Instinct when the time arrives for their annual exodus. In the spring the Ice thaws and the air renders the river free from poison. The fish Immediately return. They swim up the stream in such vast numbers num-bers that they are packed tightly together. to-gether. Any boat that tries to navigate navi-gate the river at this time forces thousands thou-sands of fish onto the fiat banks, where the natives kill them with sticks. i,Z Romance Important a little "rain of the romance Is no iinniedien t o preserve and exalt the erytmng mui low.

This man takes his place In Scripture as a judge or ruler, an office which he filled for 20 years j as a Naz-arite, Naz-arite, that Is, one bound by a vow of a peculiar kind to be set apart from others oth-ers for the service of the Almighty. The obligation was really for a definite defi-nite time, and during that time the Nazarite was bound to abstain from wine and every production of the vine, and from every kind of Intoxicating drink. He was forbidden to cut the hair of his head, or to approach any dead body. In the third place Samson Sam-son appears as a man endowed with supernatural physical strength. It is this latter quality that first comes to one's mind when he is mentioned, and it Is because of that wonderful quality qual-ity that any man of unusual strength Is called a Samson. For Instance, a London carpenter, named Thomas Topham, has been called "the British Samson." It is related that in Cold Bath fields, London, on May 28, 1741, In the presence of thousands of spectators spec-tators Topham lifted three hogsheads of. water, weighing 1,838 pounds. Topham Top-ham was born in 1710, and died in .1763. It is related that he was driven to suicide by domestic troubles. uuugei appropriations, th "1 v An infanafvo work in ' inunlg tn Hfjtu fx,-..,, .
