A wATcA-THRowING WAGER.
Story of Dispute Between Two Co"
Barons.

bdTOnss
One of the stories of the rapid rise
and decline of the COW baron owes au-
thorship to Col Jim Britton. In the
davs when Texas had a railroad COM
missionership with only ornamental
functions Col. Britton was appointed to
fill it. He discovered the lack of law
to make the office in any way efficient
and sent in his resignation, saying that
he did not care to draw a salary for
doing nothing. There is not another
instance of this kind of conscientious
ness in the latter years of pie-eating in
Texas. But while he was commissioner
Col Britton went out to Abilene. The
time was the flush period of the cattle
men. Millionaires were thick. At
one of the Exchanges" of Abb
lene Col. Britton was a witness
to controversy between two of
the new millionaires. These cattle
barons had just returned from their
first trips to New York, where they
had gone to get rid of some of The cum
bersome profits and to have royal
time.
Jim" said Jake, that's pretty
fine watch you've got there"
"Yes," replied Jim. Il got the ticker
of fellow in New York. reckon it is
the finest in Abilene"
''Well," continued AXE, drawing one
from his pocket, ''here's better one"
Reckon not" said Jim. "What'd
yours cost?"
"Paid three hundred and twenty-five
dollars for her said Jake. What'd you
give for yours?"
Cost me three hundred and fifty
dollars" answered Jim, with trium
phant grin.
Jake was blue over the discovery that
he didn't own the cOstliest watch in
Abilene. He stood, holding the now
despised chronOmeter in his hand and
looking at it. Bracing up after few
moments he said: '"There amt much
difference between 'em. But III bet l
can throw mine further than you can
yours"
Everybody laughed and looked at
Jim. The latter was not to be blutfed.
Quick as a flash he replied: ''I'll just
go you one on that"
The crowd went out into the rocky
street. A scratch was drawn. 1t was
agreed that the man who threw his
watch furthest should have what was
left of both watches. They threw, and
the fellow who won led the way back
into the Exchange and setup the drinks.
"a few months afterward," said Col.
Britton, concluding the narrative, II

he pulled it out of his pocket he held

ORIGIN OF "ILLlNOlS."
IT Ia Believed to BE of Latin Rather Than
Indian Derivation.

DOkAt0eAoA"
There are in the Spanish language a
very great number of words derived
from the original Latin form: But
few of them have been changed. Some
words that in Latin with the letters pl,
in Spanish begin the letters Ii.
1t is familiar to all writer's that, in
western Texas, Capt John Pope, after
ward major-general, surveyed and
staked out line of road through the
Rio Grande. The plains over which the
road was surveyed afterward became
marked upon the map as the "Llanos
Estacados." In the army had a COM
''anion who had been a member OF
at surveying trip, and he explained
me the name as meaning The
Staked Palms." saying that there was
a dialect in Spain that pronounced
the letters II the same as pl. This man
was fluent Spanish speaker, and had
lived in Spanish-speaking countries for
several years. besides serving in the
regular army. There may be some
doubt about the special dialect to which
he referred
ton, nearly thirty years ago, | saw an
old map of the United States, and across
the place where Illinois now stands
were marked the words "Llanos In
dians" These were the Indians of the
plains, and the name came from the
early Spanish settlement.
In the year 1900 the province of
Louisiana was ceded by Spain to
France, from whom we obtained it.
The Spanish pronunciation of the
word llanOs might probably be repre-
sented in English by the word el-le-ah-
nos.
There is but very small transition
from the Spanish pronunciation passing
up, as it did, through the French, and
then converted into English. The name
of Illinois, if so derived. is "plains, !"
and the term is very significant, be-
cause there is no state in the Union
that is leveler than the state of Illi-
nois. 1t is vastly more level than either
Iowa, Nebraska or Kansas The latter
state has variations of over three thou
sand feet in its levels, and is mountain
Gus as compared with Illinois. Its vast
inland prairies, inhabited by Indians,
very properly gave to those Indians the
name of the "Llanos" Indians. Hence
it is reasonable to believe that the word
Illinois is of Latin origin, and has no
derivation whatever from Indian lam
guages.-E. f. Ware, in st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Domestic Service Performed by People of

Domestic Service Performed by People of
all Classes.
Tradition is not very reliable, and
many bit of home furniture is still
fondly preserved, in one household and
another, of which it is said that it was
brought over in the Mayfower with the
Pilgrims This has been said SO often
that it is common joke in New England
to speak of the Mavflower as if she had
been in the furniture trade. OF the in
security of such tradition, there is a
funny illustration in the fact that, for
a long series of years, certain teacups
and saucers of Dutch earthenware
were always spoken of as having
come over in the Mayfiower. Some un-
romantic antiquarian called attention,
however, to the fact that the tea-trade
of Holland did not begin till the middle
of the century, SO that it was impossi-
bic that there should have been any
teacups or saucers at that time.
The reader then, who has faithfully
worked mp his genealogy to the sixty

tween 1880 and 1640, must imagine
