ARE NOT AGREED ON
ORIGIN OF ROOSIER
Some Opinion $ Put Forward
Not Complimentary..
What the term "Hooeler" means,
Jnid the origin of it, is a question that
persists through the years. More than
ninety years ago it was discussed la
the newspapers, and though tlie rea
sonable and probable answer
then indicated, which the Indiana
Democrat of October 20, 1833, copied
from the Cincinnati Republican, un im
protwbla explanation that, chanced to
•get a footing is nearly always given
In answer. It is that the nickname.
rose from wjiat was said to be the
habit of Indluna pioneers of hailing
a cabin jvith the call "Who's yere?"
No authentic plolieer chronicles tell
of any such expression.
A common hall wtfs: "Hello the
house!" In Indluna and elsewhere.
More worthy of credence Is the notion
of James Whltcomb Riley, who main
tained that Hoosler evolved frpm the
characteristic scrapplness of the pio
neers who in settling their .differences
bit off each other's features. When,
after one of these pleasantries, a be
lated citizen arrived on the scene and
saw a detached ear lying on the ground
he naturally asked: '.'Who's ear?"
, Other stories than these derived the
word from huzzar, huzza and husher.
None of them merits serious consider
ation. Another story not quite so un
likely Is that when the canal was be
ing dug a contractor by the name of
Hoosler employed workmen from the
side of the river. These be
came known as Booster's men, and
as there were a great many of them,
the use of the name spread until it
became associated with Indlanlans
generally.
The discussion of 1838, referred to
above as quoted from the Cincinnati
Republican, Smd this to say: "The
word Hoosler lS Indebted for Its ex
istence to that once numerous but
now extinct class of mortals called
the Ohio boatmen. In its original ac
ceptation It was equivalent to 'Rlp
staver,* 'Scrouger,' 'Screamer,' Bul
ger,' 'Ringtail roarer,' and a hundred
others. ._ . . By some caprice the
appellation became confined solely to
such boatmen as had their homes
npon the Indiana shore, and from them
It was gradually applied to all the In
dlanlans."
The writer of this perhaps did not
know that the word was not confined
to the boatmen on the river, but ex
„ tended southward and was probably
common then, as It certainly was
later in the more primitive sections,
especially In the mountain districts.
Today one may flntl the word Hoosler
there as an expression of contempt
for an uncouth and unkempt person.
That it made its way northward as
, part of the southern vocabulary along
with the tide of Immigration from the
South hardly admits of a doubt, ami
that It attached to the typical early
Indlanlan Is an uncomplimentary
probability. As the cultural status
of the people changed the word gradu
ally lost Its earlier Implications but
retained Its place. The first appear
ance of the word in print, as far as
known, Is In the Indluna Palladium
for July 30, 1831, which, describing
Noah Noble as a horse in the political
race, says: "He may be called a
'Hoosher.'"—lndianapolis News.
Harder to Read Character
Those who undertake to read the
character of persons with whom they
come in contact can no longer rely on
what the eyebrow says to them. The
plucking of eyebrows has become so
general that they cannot be made to
tell anything of the makeup of their
owners. v Character readers must fall
back on the contour of the nose,
curves of the mouth and the "crow's
feet" about the eyes to form their
conclusions and must remove the eye
brows entirely from their observa
tions.

Scotland Made Game of
Golf National Pastime
Three months before the Pilgrim Fa
thers left Deftshaven James VI ap
proved the contract for the first mu
nicipal golf links at St. Andrews, Scot
land. Golf may have started In Hol
land, where a game called "kolf," a
cross between' golf, hockey and bowl
ing, was played on the Ice, within cov
ered courts and even In churchyards.
If the Scotch did Import the sport they
changed It greatly. "Links" for exam
ple Is the Scotch term referring to
rolling close-cropped shore fields which
become the model for all golf
courses. "Bunkers" are really cut
banka such as are found along a
graded country road. Such banks with
sand pits are natural to the Scotch
shore. St. Andrew's cat banks are now
artificially created on golf links wher
ever golf Is played. For many years
the original Scotch course consisted of
ll_holes, a match being two rounds, or
22 holes, but In 1704 It was decided to
eliminate two holes, so today the
standard course Is In multiples of nine.

Early Navigators Dared

the objects of the adventure "Was to

guese, after whom the straits are
named, was a leading spirit in the ex
pedition. When the tssk was almost

killed by natives In the Philippine is-

under del Cano, completed the Journey.
