Painting the Town Red.

At this late date another origin for the
expression, painting it red, is given.
Back in the '60s racing was one Of the ex-
citing features of Mississippi river travel,
and when an opportunity offered for q
trial of speed all hands were breathless
with excitement. The first command
from the captain would be: "Paint her
red boysr' which was river slang for
filling the fre-box with resin in order to
create quick, hot fire, at which time the
fire boxes would be thrown open. Then
IL the night were dark, the effect was
simply grand. As far ahead as the eye
could see the river would be a deep red
from the reflection, forming most beau
tiful picture, which once seen could never
be forgotten. 1t was at that time that
the expression, ''Paint the town red, Or
iginated, as the old steamboat men in
tended to convey the idea by its use that
they would have beautiful time on ar
