KISPE The Tailor 1060 Meant Death to Indians Isle Iloyale. farthest outpost of . ural wonders, but also an island of freaks, says a writer in the Detroit Free Tress. Foremost of them is an Indian's head which nature has formed of the island's jagged shoreline rocks. It is similar In type to the famous Old Man of the Mountain and Indian's Head In the White mountains, but is unlike them in that nature has carried her limning a step further and given the Isle Royale Indian a feathery headdress actually a tree growing on top cf the bluff in which the head U carved. Discovery of the face by white men recalled an ancient Indi&D legend among the North Shore tribes, who believed that any brave who saw Isle Iioynle would perish. Another of the island's freaks is a devil's pitchfork. A fisherman found a strangely formed stunted spruce behind his cabin. The tree took the shape cf a pitchfork, the tines skyward. growing lie cut it down and peeled away the hark, finding the wood underneath solid, which is unusual. Such freaks often arc the result of dead branches forcing the tree to grow in other directions. three-pronge-d East 21st South SUITS MADE TO ORDER Remodeling Clothes for Ladies and Gentlemen CLEANING and PRESSING Modern inventions have superseded tbe craftsman, but the quill pen still finds employment for a handful workers.

They develiqied it Into1 or Dixie banjo which, the has been replaced In most dance orchestras by tbe tenor instrument! with a shorter neck and but fonr strings. Original banjos were undoubtedly patterned after primitive instruments of. the African west coast negroes. Similar instruments with are still used on the Guinea coast Pathfinder Magazine. -' Tit-Bl- ts The Word Slave Apparently the word slave was not applied to the African negroes Imported for servants and sold, until many yeara after the practice originated In America. It was a common custom for white persons to be brought to America either as prisoners or emigrants and their service were sold for a varying term, either to fnlfill their sentences or to pay for their transportation. For many yeara it appears that the status of the African was not greatly different from that of white servants and both were called by the latter term. The transition from servitude to slavery was made when the servitude became hereditary and descended to tbe offspring of the original servants. Crummy; Shindy The use of crummy, meaning cheap, Is a natural outcome of Its original sense The dictionary records that crummy means full of cruma cr Uttered with crums." Hence, anything that Is crummy shows an untidy or neglected appearance Ti e extension to cheap, in the sei.se of mean, poor, disreputable, is a logical step. Tbe old slang term shindy, meaning a riotous conflict ; a rvmpus cr a row, has been in use since 182L Shindig, first recorded in 1812, is probably a modified form of shindy, and designates a party somewhat less riotous than a shiDdy.
