Ptttaburgh Press. ' CALLED THEM INDIANS. How the Red M?n of This Country Cam* to Clot That Name. "But," said the little girl who has now, reached the dignity of owning a geography, "why did they call the peo ple they found in this country 'Indi ans?' The people who live in India ought to be Called by that name." Now, that was a very appropriate question for the little girl to ask. And the answer to the little girl and to any other "tittle girls aud boys who uiay bo. puzzled by the same thing Is that Co lumbus and his men didn't start out to discover America. They 1 didn't, of coursd, know there was any America here. What they did believe was that the world was round and that by sall isgjur. enough they would come up on the other side. You all know now that what the.v believed is true, but In those days most peODlcZ believed that the world was flat and that if a ship sailed far enough out into the ocean it would falhoff the edge. Columbus said that l{ lu* took a ship and sailed and sailed he would at last come to India. Now, India was a very rich counti^y, and for hundreds of years Europe had been trying Jo find an easier way to get there, so what Co lumbus said appealed to a good many .merchants and traders, and Spain Anal ly fitted out some ships for Columbus. - You all know that Columbus finally did reach America, but he believed he had sailed clear around the world. aud had come to India from the other sidQi so he named the people he fouud on the shore "Indians." And after it was found that this was not India, but a new world, people went on calling the people Indians because that was as good a name as any for them, they thought.? Kausas City &tar.

' i "i1 ? ?" * " i" An Example of Courtesy. It is *tatc<l that while out horse back riding one day, George Wash ington. met an old negro man who lifted his bat and bowed low. Not to be outdone iu courtesy, 'Washing ton raised his own hat and returned the salute. The story is familiar to every A merlcan w ho has studied the character of this great gentleman. When asked If he 'hod not carried courtesy to an extreme, bis answer was that ho would not permit any one, however humble to be more polite' than he. And that is the point aiid the rea son for relating the incident here. In ihe railway service, courtesy is the most Important th'ng to rfcinemoer in dealing with the public. Every man, '.v.oihvn .vud child, who asks a ques tion, buys a ticket, rtdci- on the train or ships freight is entitled -to the same consideration from the railway employees as might be fflv?n 'he president of the country.
