what proportion of the taxes he would
pay in case they accepted the property
as . gift. He finally got mad at their
incessant guying. and told them they
would see he was not such = fool as
they took him for before he got through
with that mine. lie then wrote TO some
capitalist acquaintances that he had a
claim ,rth fabuloos sum. which he
would sell for 3. 900, being hard pressed
financially. The bank was next visited,
$500 worth of gold dus, aud nuggets
bought, and the claim thoroughly

Chasers arrived they prospected the
ground little. and tile panning out was
attended by big clean-ups. They paid

Historic Slang.

How common is the expression, "Oh
she is down in the dumps"-that is out
of spirits. This is very ancient slang
phrase. and Is supposed to be derived
from "Dumpos, King of Egypt, who
built a pyramid and died of melan-
choly;" 80 that the thieves and gypsies
are not all TO blame for having given us
4 few expressive words.
We next come upon n word full of pa
thetic meaning for many of us; it is the
ghost that haunts and pursues US more
or less throughout the year-it is the
word dun" 1t Is a word of conse-
qucnce, for 1t Is at once verb and a
noun. and is derived from the Saxon
word "dunan." TO din or clamor. 1t
owes its immortality-so tradition says
to having been the surname of one Joe
Dun. famous bailif of Lincoln, in the
reign OF Henry VII, who was so active
and dexterous in collecting bad debts
that when any one became "slow 10
pay" the neighbors used to say, "Dun

exaggerators and boosters, who are re-
quested either 10 moderate their state
ments or 10 astonish their audience.
The word coach" in these days, Is a
familiar one, as parents know who have
tn employ tutors to assist their sons 10
swallow the regulation amount OF
"cram /" necessary for competitive ex-
animation. The word is OF university
origin and can boast of logical etymol
ogy. IL is a pun upon the term "get-
ting on fast" To &c: o:: fast you must
take . coach; you cannot get on fast in
learning without private tutor-eryo,
a private tutor is q coach.
Another familiar word in university
slang Is "a regular brick"-that is, ajolly

cally deducted is amusing enough. A
brick Is deep-red. so deep-read man
