ORIGIN OF A FEW oATHs.
A Little Dogs Part In Profane History
Why "By Jimmy 10 Swearing"

Why "By Jimmy 10 ..Swcaring."
Ist. Louis Post Dispatch.l
The cour iers of Louis TX. wePs wont to
indulge in swearing to an extent that was
both painful and distressing to the good
King, their master, although the penalty
prescribed in the statute book for the Of
Tense was no less than branding the tongue
with a red hot iron for every commission
Of it. The oaths most offensive to the
sanity monarch were the "cordieus," the
'tetedieus," the "paradieus," ETC., which
still survive in Moliere and Rabelais. At
this time there was at the palace, belonging
10 one of the ladies of the court, little pet
dog named "Bleu." To elude the harsh
sentence Of the law, which might deprive
them forever of the power OF indulging in
] their favorite pastime, the courtiers deter
mined to substitute for "dieu" the name of
the dog. So ''cordicu" became "corbleu ;"
'tetedieu" "tetebleu," etc, end the appar-
emily meaningless words are preserved to
the present day. "Sacredieu" became
'sacrebleau," and was finally contracted to
"socre." This last is the most common of
French oaths nowadays, except "mor
Uieu." The handles OF ancient Rome used
o swear by the all the gods indiscrim-
'nately, although It was customary for
zach one to have his favorite oath. Castor
and Poilux were tho favoritcs among tho
ieni gods TO swear by, and when people
said by GeInini, they mont 10 swear by
Castor and Pollux, the twins. This oath
ins come down to US, even to the present
day, when tho expression "Dy Jimmy" is
frequently heard. 1.-The dcuce!" is q very
ancient oath, indeed, as will appear from
the derivation to which it is referred-the
Latin Deus-God. Nowadays it Is con-
sidered a mild oath TO say "ths deuoe." 1t
is curious thing that deuce is generally
supposed to mean the devil" so people
say, "go to the Deuce" The origin of the
phrase "by jingo" is traced to the word
Jincoa-the baser name for God.

1t was q legacy from the father who
had died before Reuben was ten
years old, and left him to the care Of
Uncle Josiah, the brother Of Reuben's
long dead mother. The strongest
memory Reuben retained Of his father
was mind picture of o white-haired
man sitting up in bed, with the be-
loved violin in his hands, filling the
poor antic-room with sweet sounds.
He was partially paralyzed even then,
and later, when his fingers became
helpless, his heart broke and he died.
Then Uncle Josiah came from the
country to the great city, and took
the lad home. At the bottom of the
hair trunk containing all Reuben's
possessions was safely stored the
violin and case, with a score ofmusic
the dead musician had left his boy.
