Word London What is the derivation of the word London The usually accepted one is the Celtic Llyn Din or lake city referring to the historical fact that tha city was built on a river that over flowed at full tide and half surrounded it Other philologists have derived it from llawn full and dyn man others again from Ion a plain and dun a hill But the derivation Lun Den or grove city seems more prob able than most of these The name occurs in wooded parts of Scandinavia to this day The Reigrnlngr Princess Every girl who has married and moved to another town learns in course of time how It feels to

H Davis of York now iii the life insurance busi ness Mr Davis h an old time agent of the B M for nineteen years hav ing been employed by that road There remains but very few of tho old time promoters and builders of the B M in Nebraska now and it looks very much like the days of the few here are numbered Instead of the stones re jected by tho builders becoming the head of the system they are being re jected by Jim Hills management Many of the old time employes who begun with the B M in tho seventies and earlier eighties have watched the build ing or tne line grow from zuu miles or loss to several thousand It has been with a feeling of pride on the part of many Many commenced in our early twenties and our hair turned gray in the service Many of the old timers have been removed by death many more by Jim Hill with others to follow There are many landmarks in Nebraska to re mind us of some the promoters and builders For instance the names of many towns Holdrege Calvert since changed to Auburn Marquette Deweese Campbell Marsland Birdsell Belknap Berks Gillette Loomis Phil lips Castor changed to Tobias I trav el around over Nebraska a great deal There is one universal howl from the public in general about the service both in passenger and freight traffic Un less conditions radically change for the better I fear there will be some stringent measures passed by the next legislature so severe that Nebraska railroads will meet with a great injustice at the hands of a much abused public because they will not stop to consider the mitigating circumstances Never at a time hereto fore have Nebraska railroads md -especially the Burlingtom had so great a volume of all kinds of traffic Motive power and equipment is taxed to its ut most capacity to handle the business and the company is doing the best it can with what it has to do with These things with climate and other condi tions a clamoring public will not stop consider I think present methods of railway management far superior to old ways of doing things It should not be presumed for one official to have to tell another anything which he is supposed to know about his department If he dont know he is not on his job and may have to give way to someone else that is up to date Jealousy in authority among officials has kept them a guessing for some time and it seems the end is not yet It appears that they are as likely to get the grand bounce as a fifteen cent hour section hand only difference is the name The section hand is told he is fired while the other fellows have been asked to resign Lincoln Journal

close of last week Women In Imlln It win be many years before the caste prejudices of India are sufficient ly broken down to give any sort of freedom to the Indian woman From a bride she is unmercifully overwork ed but from the day she gives up her childhood to the day of her death it may be for sixty years she is seclud ed and sees nothing of the world out side the walls of her family inclosure Her happiness or misery indeed en tirely depends on the manner in which the affairs of the family are conduct ed The Indian woman isolated from the outer world by custom is again by custom isolated as far as practicable from all the male members of that lit tle inner world to which she is con fined Free intercourse oven with her own husband is not permitted her while yet her youthful capabilities for joyousnes3 exist No wonder then that absence of jollity is characteris tic of the Indians generally for the happy laughter of a home is denied them by custom in the most persistent manner Syrian Xnme Customs In Syria the names of children are very odd They suggest those of our Indians inasmuch as the childs name Is apt to be something which occurred at the time of its birth something which interested the parents For in stance if you were a child of this country your name in all probability would be Stuffed Cabbage or Ho tel or Civil War or something akin to these If a child falls sick his name is immediately changed Instead of his parents thinking that a piece of pie or too much pudding disagreed with him they attribute his sickness to the fact that his name did not agree with him When one understands what these names are one does not wonder that the child may have fallen sick because of them Philadelphia Press Take advantage of The Tribunes ex traordinary
