An Interesting story Is told as to ,tho origin of the name "Moosejaw" as ap plied to a town in Canada. Some fifty years ago, so the story runs, a pioneer, with his tonui of oxen and "prairie schooner,'' passing along tho banks of tho river, wus obliged .to camp at this point In Saskatchewan on account of an accident to his cart. A spoko had fallen out during tho day, and the wheel wns falling apart Ho looked about for something to in Bert lor a temporary brnco for the wheel, while his wife busied herself with tho evening meal. Tho pioneer's child, whllo romping around, found tho Jawbone of a moose, which sho lidld up to her father, who by this time almost despaired of find ing anything with which to repair his cart. Ho was delighted to find that tho Jawbono exnetly fitted tho place of tho missing spoke. 'Tho Indians there after named this district the "Plneo Where tho Whlto Man Found tho Moosejaw." This, It Is said, accounts for tho town's queer name. Washing ton Star. T1 ATbsitiw Where frankness reveals voir o pportunity ' BHBB Some things are marked at less than cost.
