When the Indiana Society of Chi cago held its annual outing and feed June 1, Charles Healy told a new ver sion of how the term "Hoosier" came to be applied to Indianians. "An old river pilot gave me the story," said Mr. Healy, "and It sounds pretty reasonable. In the early days when Indiana was only sparsely set tled along the southern border, most of the trading was done In the Ken tucky towns Just across the river. Nat urally, when the settlers went to town they cut up all aorta of capers and one of the new stunts In those days was for a man to jump up in the air and try to kick his heels to gether twice before touching the ground. "One day a crowd of Indiana settlers arrived In town, and some one of fered to bet that a member of tbe In diana crowd couldn't kick bis heels together twice and say 'Hussar two times before coming down. He per formed the stunt all right, with the exception of saying 'Hussar.' In his excitement he mispronounced the word and said 'Hoosier, Hoosier.' That's how the famous nickname orig inated, according to the river pilot, and from that time on all Indiana peo ple were called 'Hoosiers.'"

Not a few men who are accustomed to give liberal tips were heard to ex press themselves bitterly on the sub ject of the waiters' strike. One of the managers at the Waldorf was talking yesterday about hearing one of the best-known brokers in New York, known as one of the most gen erous tippers about the hotel, declare emphatically that he had vowed never again to tip a waiter who had struck. Some doubt was expressed, and the manager rushed away and brought up the broker. "Yes, I said It," the latter agreed, "and, furthermore, I mean it. In the course of the last twenty years I have given away thousands of dollars in tip3 to waiters never leas than a quarter, and sometimes as much as $5 at a time. Yet what did it count for me to spend a lot of money on men just for bringing me a few plates of food? Hereafter I shall ask every man who serves me whether he was a striker. If he was, I shall not give him a cent, and I can tell you I have talked with hundreds who feel just the same as I." New York Sun. Bab ism. Babism was founded in Persia, about 1846, by Sayid Mirza All. He took the name of Beb-ed-din (the gate of the faith), whence he became known as the "Bab," and his disciples as the "Babis." The Bab, who during his life maintained the highest reputa tion for purity and gentleness of char acter, was murdered at Tabriz, July 8, 1850. It will be Impossible to give here anything like an intelligent ac count of the teachings of Babism. In tensely mystical, it takes an Oriental of the Orientals to even approximately understand it, or to even half-way ex plain it. The Babis have teachers In this country, and you might consult them If you have a desire to know what the cult is.
