Each of these soldiers, where known, is to nave a rate headstone, and the remains of the unknown, it now been decided by the president, are to be grouped under appropriate monuments. In the center of the ate section at Arlington is left a mound. There, in sight of Wash- City, where for untold the American and the foreigner will be pilgrims, the are expected to build a memorial, which will typify their love of and veneration for their dead. Soon after the at Arlington, Confederate in began to move in this matter. In 1906 the United Daughters of the in convention at endorsed the movement and sub- scribed to it.

Several car loads of furniture and other equipment were also shipped in to exhibit before the committee, and the buildings have much the appearance of an ex- position with the large display of different articles.

Name From a Horn. New York city's great east side thoroughfare gets its name of the Bowery through an ancient lineage that has come down through some years, from the time of our Aryan ancestors, who planted the root that grown into the well known name. At the head of that street stood the homo of the Dutch governor of New Nether- lands, and it was known as Bowery, which was another name for home, the grounds of which stretched south- , ward toward Chatham square. The growth from the Aryan root was simple enough, for it was only the expansion of into This root meant to grow, dwell, be, or build, so see how and carrying the idea of a home, rally grow from it. When that root began to grow there was no such tiling as a collection of houses into a city or even a village, but whore our ancestors lived was among the shades of forest growths, whore branches and leaves were into coverings that became homes. This word came direct- to us through the which meant to dwell. They also had the word which chamber, a coveting in which to conceal or cover yourself, and from this came our middle English In the Dutch, as it was need in New in Stuyvesant's time, it was The same root went into the Sanskrit became which meant to e, to exist, or the place where you were or lived, and from that came a dwelling house.

He works for schools, churches good streets and urges, pleads, scolds and badgers and cavorts around generally. Imagine his feelings then when some kind of a fellow reproaches him because he don't boom things enough. If the town does boom and the prices of real estate advance and the owners grow rich from the result of his labor, he makes nothing by it.
