The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXVI!.-NEBRASKA
THE Indian
name for
t h c Platte
river was Ne
hraska, menn
ing "shallow
wator," aud
from this
came the name of the state. A
nickname for the state, ls tho
Blackwater State.
Of the early Spanish explora
tions little ls known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain of this region in 1(541.
Moro than ono hundred and
twenly-flvo years later Father
Marquette notod the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning of tho Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex
pedition skirted tho boundaries
of the present state and in 1805,
Manuel Lisa established tho
first known settlement which wus
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was Just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
Into United States territory.
Omaha was established as u
post of the American Fur com
pany In 1825 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
tn 1810 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there al
though there was a law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dians. The real colonization
boom, howevor, started with the
passing of tho Kansas-Nebraska
act in 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at tho dic
tate of their Inhabitants. Tho
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth to the forty-ninth paral
lel. In 1801, the region north
of 4.1 wos made Into Dukota
territory. Tho Idaho territory
was also created, which re
duced Nebraska to tts present
size of 77,620 square miles, ex
cept for a slight addition in the
Northwest which was made In
1882.
In 1807 Nebraska was admit
ted aH tho 87th state over tho
president's veto. It hus eight
presidential electors.

The "Economy Home."
Columbia, Dec. S.-- This ia thu be
ginning of a Joyful month. Let's till
resolve to make the most of what wv
have and can do. and even though
"times are a little hard," strive to
lighten tho burdens of those less for
tunate and to bring Joy and gladness
to the hearts of men and women and
little children everywhere. This ls
Hie month when Santa Claus leaves
his cozy home at thc North Dole and
braves the Icy Polar blasts and the
Storms to pay his annual visit to
good little hoys and girls. If Santa
thus so unselfishly visits the whole
world on ('mist mas Kve. should iiot
we. the grown-ups, sacrifice our
selves somewhat In order that others
may see the brightness in the great
est anniversary in the year? Thia
Christmas, instead of thc bothersome
exchange of gifts with those who do
not need them anyway, why not give
mostly to tho needy? Such was tho
example set us by the Christ Child
nineteen hundred and twenty-one
SOME) 1>. A. R. SCHOOL NOTES.
(ail.; Cheerful ?nd Happy ivs tho De
cember Rays Aro Heuutiful.
D.A.R. School, Tamasseo, Dec. 9.
Special- Although the December
day? aro hore, tho beautiful sunshine
continues to fall on Tamasseo. This
is trite In two ways, for ovon when
tho rain pours down outside, and
tho cold wind would sting tho nose
and ears, we aro still happy in our
home. If you could look In on us
now you would soo each girl with a
smile, while tho touchers tell a few
li'tlo secrets-as lt seems to thom.
But why shouldn't a few strange
things bo happening, for Christmas
is just around tho corner?
During tho past threo months
Ibero have been many dutios attend
ed to, not to mention now tho pleas
ures. Tho girls, under tho direction
of Miss Hine, got np a splendid ex
hibit for the D.A.R. Conference held
in Charleston in November. Although
most of these girls did not know
the first principles of sewing, still,
with the patience of .Miss Hine, their
first stitches were so improved as to
be placed into tho making of work
boxes, handkerchiefs, embroidered
aprons, liluo bonnets and organdie
Howers, which wore made by them,
as well as hot iron holders. Now the
girls are taking orders for atty cf
those things that have been men
tioned above.
Just as these things were finished,
pul into the boxes and started on
their way lo Charleston, Thanksgiv
ing walked In. The students were
given two days' holiday-Thursday
and 'Friday, During these holidays
.Miss Jeanette Moore visited some of
her schoolmates at Due West Wo
man's College. Miss Mooro was a
student at Due West lust year, so
her visit back was a most pleasant
i one.
Miss Pearle Edwards returned lo
her home in Seneca to spend Thanks
giving holidays.
However, those absences did not
leave things lonely at Tamasseo .Tho
weather was ideal for the picnic on
Tamasseo Knob.
Miss Ellen Morgan's brothers, Lu
ther, Will and Louis Morgan, enjoyed
the picnic with the school, as well
as some from the community.
Wo are now enjoying tho sausage
and other moats which we got from
our hog last week. Sam Cowan gave
this hog when only a pig last year.
You should have seen tho sausage
as it was being ground and packed
away. And the lard! Why tho bread
has already hogan to taste better.
We, as teachers and pupils, want
to thank Mr. Cowan again for our
meat.
Since we last wrote to Tho Courier
wc have a new care-taker - John
Sheppard. Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard
have not wasted any time since mov
ing into the little cottage, for great
improvements have been noticed.
Last l>nt not least of our news
comes as we think of the little stream
just below Mr. Sheppard's house,
running over tho pebbles, bubbling
as it goes on and on. This last clause
is true no longer, for under tho su
pervision of Miss Hine and directions
from Mr. Sheppard, a little ram ls
down there pumping away. Tho pipes
have been joined and placed to the
house, and as wo look out of the
window wo see a little stream of wa
ter running from this pipo on tho
campus. As soon as tho lumber is
sawed for the stand for our tank wc
will have a plumber to put the water
in our home.
Wo want lo mention our song
sorvlco on Wednesday nights. We
have boen having good crowds. Last
Wednesday night there wero one
hundred in tho building. Wo aro so
glad to seo the mothers and fathers
coming to singing and Sunday school,
for these are not for any certain age,
but for all-young and old.

Tho Dccombor Campaign ls Hoing
Looked to with (iront Hope.
That South Carolina, as compared ,
with some of her neighboring Stales, .
is somewhat behind in tho care and
treatment of its thousands of caso?,
of tuberculosis is a statement Issued ;
from the State headquarters of Ibo
South Carolina Tuberculosis Associa-j
lion ut Columbia. The campaign that
began Dec. 1st for the sale of health j
bonds and Christmas Seals is ex
pected lo enlarge the work now bc*,
ing carried on to decrease tho spread ,
of tho disease in this State.
According to figures compiled for
the year 1910 tho Palmetto State
and Mississippi each lost 13G citizens
for every 100,000 population from1
tuberculosis. Mississippi appropri- ,
a ted to combat thc disease a sum of
one million dollars. This will erect
a sanitarium capable of treating six
hundred cases at one time. Plans
are hoing made to add accommo la
dons which will care for a hundred
moro, Increasing the capacity to ono
thousand beds.
South Carolina's appropriation ls
$61,939.95. or about $938,000 less
than its neighbor. The appropriation I
in this State was for tho State Sam- ;
tarium and the negro hospital known
as the Palmetto Sanitarium. !
In North Carolina, where 122 out
of 100,000 were killed by tub?rculo-'
sis, there are 1,775 beds available.
200 of which are at Sanitorium, N. i
C. An appropriation of $100,000 by
that State will provide for negro pa
tients, while an additional allowance
of $200,000 has boen made for tho
further development of Sanitorium.
With tho meagre appropriation in
this State available for work in this
Important cause, it ls hoped that the
amounts brought in by the salo of
health bonds and Christmas Seals
will be sufficient to greatly Increase
the efficiency of tho work that is so
badly needed in our State.

TI1K FIRST IIANDIOBAFT EHI1HT
At Tamaaaee School Waa an inspiring
Occasion-Many Present.
The handicraft exhibit, given un
der the auspices of the Tamasseo
School Improvement Association in
the community hall of the new pub
lic school on Dec. 1st, 2d and 3d, was
well attended and greatly enjoved
The past and the present ..oro
united In tho various types of handi
craft shown. In tho vicinity aro a
great many old homesteads-land
marks in Oconeo county - notably
tho original "Tamassee," the home
of Mrs. C. Jones; the "Rod House,"
whore (Jen. Andrew Pickens once
lived, now the home of Mr. and Mrs.
T. M. Kelley; and Oconeo Station,
the present homo of the Misses
(?reen.
From these and neighboring home.?
wero collected handiwork, old and
new, ranging from homo-woven cov
lels In many designs and colorings,
homespun dresses, etc., to tho most
dainty laces and embroideries; from
willow baskets to tho newest designs
in rallia weaving, and from wood
work, such as chairs, "cards and
reels and spinning wheels," to wood
carvings and bird houses.
Among the relics was a sampler,
shown by Mrs. Cornelia .Iones, the
stitches being exquisitely done by
Mrs. Hannah OM lan lon .Iones in
1 7D7. There was also a sample of the
wedding dress of Mrs. C. Jones, who
spun the thread, wove the cloth and
made thc dress.
Demonstrations were given in the
arl of spinning and reeling, much to
the interest and enjoyment, of all,
especially of the school children, who
with their teachers, D. V. Alexander
and Mrs. Gantt, visited the exhibit
in a body.
Not to be excelled by their ances
tors in skill and Industry, our young
people mode a most creditable dis
play of handiwork-sweaters, caps,
filet crochet, raffia baskets, etc., made
under the direction of Mrs. Rowell, I
of New York, who has spout consid- I
erablo lime in tho community, and isl
doing a wonderful work among tho I
young people. To her ls due much
of the credit for the success of tho
exhibit.
Adding a most pleasing touch of
variety was the collection of the
handiwork of many countries in Eu-!
rope, gathered by Mrs. Rowell as
souvenirs of hor travels.
Many visitors attended tho exhibit,
and much enthusiasm was aroused 1
along tho line of developing talents
and resources.

Washington. On her arrival ovor tho
city she cruised at a low altitude
over the navy department building.
The C-7 contains in hor huge sil

IS YOUR HEALTH
GRADUALLY SLIPPING?
Literesting Experience of a Texas Lady Who Declares That if Mora
Women Knew About Cardin They Would pe Spared
Much Sickness and Worry?
Navasota, Texas.-Mrs. W. M. Peden,
of this place, relates thc following interest
ing account of how she recovered her
strength, having realized that she was
actually losing her health:
"Health is the greatest thing in the
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit
up and take notice. That is what I did
some time ago when i found myself In a
very nervous, run-down condition of
health. I was so tired and felt so lifeless
I could hardly go at all.
"I was just no account for work. I
would get a bucket of water and would
feel so weak I would have to set it down
before I felt like 1 could lift lt to the shelf.
In this condition, of course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im
possible to accomplish.
"1 was . . . nervous and easily upset.
I couldn't rest well at night and waa. . .
just lifeless.
"I heard of Carda i and after reading 2
decided 1 had some female trouble that
was pulling me down. I sent for Cardui
and began it . .
"In a very short while after I began the
Cardui Home Treatment 1 saw an Im
provement and lt wasn't long until ! waa
all right-good appetite, splendid rest
and much stronger so that I easily did my
house work.
"Later 1 took a bottle of Cardui as a
tonic. 1 can recommend Cardui and glad
ly do so, for if more women knew, it
would save a great deal of worry and
sickness."
The enthusiastic praise of thousands of
other women who have found Cardui
helpful should convince you that it ls
worth trying. AU druggists sell it
