Origin of "UncIe SAM"

Speculation has recently arisen regard
ing the origin of the term 'Uncle Sam
as applied to the United States Govern
ment.
In the war OF 1912, between this country
and Great Britain, Elbert Anderson ol
New York purchai ed in Troy, N. Y, a
large amount OF pork for the American
army.
1t was inspected by Samuel Wilson,
who was popularly known as "Uncle
SAM" The barrels of pork were marked
"E. A, U. s." the lettering being done
by iecetious employe OF Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by fellow wOrkmen the
meaning Of the mark (for the letters U.
s., for United States, were then almost
entirely new 10 them), said she did no,
know, unless 1t meant Ebert Anderson
and Uncle Sam" alluding to Uncle Sam
Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen,
and passed currently, and "Uncle sam ;
himself being present, WAS occasionally y
rallied on the Increasing extent OF his
possessions. Soon the incident appeared
In print, and the joke gained favor rap.

nized in every psIt of the country, and

1t is now firmly imbedded in the Mosaic
OF our language, like "Tippecanoe,'
'Log Cabin" aud other short but ex
pTessiye phrases, which refer to importsn
events in the history Of the Republic
Both "Tippecanoe" and ''Log Cabin
bave taken on renewed force and vitality
since their adoption by Hon. II. ii
Warner, of Safe Cure fame, in the nam
ing of two OF his great standard remedies
the principal one known as Warner'i
Log Cabin sarsaparllla. They are based
upon formula so successfully used b.
our ancestors in the cure of the common
ailments to which their arduous labor
rendered them liable in the good old Lol
Cabin days.
The name of Warmers Safe Cure, like

five days. The volume contains liz pages,
most of 1t In tables aud closely piinted

THE BOND STEAL.
WHAT THE PAPERS THINK OF IT

The grand jury made their report
on the bond steal last Saturday. 1t
states that about one hundred wit
ncsses were examined. From the tes-
timony addaced the jury have been
enabled to fix the amount of bonds
fraudulen'ly issued at $4,000. The
document is carefully drawn and bears
the stamp of painstaking and consci-
entious research and investigation by
the Grand Jury and the officers of the
State. 1t is a lamentabe recital of
forgery, breach Of confidence and en-
hezzlement, upon which the Grand
Jnry has presented indictments against
Major L. a. Burke ct ais. The re-
ported fight Of ex.Ireasnrcr Burke
cannct be otherwise construed than as
| an indication Of his inability to dis
prove the terrible charges bearing
upon him, aud it is to be hoped that
he will Tue report, however, con
veys the gratifying information that
the criminal acts perpctrated are pure
y individual and that they do rehec'
in any manner upon the good name O.
