The word "chesnut" will surely have
to go into the next edition of the una
bridged dictionary. The history of this
bit of slang has been a queer one. Its
Origin will never be definitely known, al
though dozen stories of it have been
told. Three years ago the word was in
common use among printers in Boston
in its slang sense, and from the com
posing rooms it came down to the edi-
torial floors. After good deal Of use
inside the various newspaper offices 1t
naturally got into print. The great
army of newspaper readers quickly
captured it, and within year it was in
general use. For two years past it has
been everywhere common throughout
the country. Then some genius had a
bright idea and envolved the chesnut
bell. 1t made its first appearance in
Baltimore or Pittsburg about July L,
and it took 1T over two months Coget
TO Boston, and about the same time to
get to Chicago and the West.
There is no father living but desires
his sons TO grow up honest sober young
men, fitted to battle with the world
and win wealth and success. AS a
strictly business principle, laying other
things aside, it pays for young man
to be temperate. The merchant does
not want in his Office drinking man.
The business man does not want clerk
who is a drunkard. The manufacturer
does not want an employe who goes up
on debauch on Saturday night and
comes to work on Monday with his
brain cloudod by the fumes of alcohol
and his body unfit to do days work.
Railroad companies are careful about
employing men addicted to the use of
liquor; for human life Is too precious
to be put up at the mercy Of an engineer
whose senses are dulled by liquor, or q
switchman, who when drunk, might
turn the wrong switch and send the
train to destruction. There can be no
stronger words of condemnation spoken
of an applicant for n position of trust,
