Origins of Words Show Language Grows From Many Roots
A survey of word origins traces English from Angles and Danes to Latin French and German influences. It notes how writers like Shakespeare and Milton added terms, how new words arise for art and science, and how terms like boycott and humble pie entered the language. A brief sidebar highlights public notices and a science-themed item on a violin tone producer.

Roosevelt as political figure and empire builder
A long, opinionated piece chronicles Theodore Roosevelt’s rise from New York politics to national prominence, detailing his rise from civil service reformer to Rough Rider hero and ends with a roster of local Brackenridge events and obituaries. It contrasts his intense pragmatism with reform ideals and notes his governorship and brief vice-presidential path before national nomination. The latter portion lists local social notes, visits, and funeral details from Breckenridge and nearby towns.
