AN INDIANS STATE CARRIAGE
When the Nez Perce Indians received
their money from the government for
the reservation lands recently opened
to settlement, they went, as is the GUS
of the red man under such circum-
stances, at once to the nearest town to
spend it. A large number went to
Pennington, Wash, and were taken
with craze for buying buggies and
,axasons.-A0ss~old Indian, having a
large allowance, could not find a vehi-
Gle that seemed to him to comport
with his wealth; but finally wandered
to the undertaker's stable, and imme-
diately fell in love with the hearse,
and wanted to buy it. The undertake
er was astounded but, being man of
business, sold it for good round sum.
The Indian loaded his squaw and pap
pooses into it, and, climbing on the
box among the nodding plumes, drove
proudly back to the reservation, the
occupants lining up against the plate
glass sides in great state. The Indian
agent protested, but the old man re-
fused to give up his state carriage, and
he regularly drives it to the neighbor-
ing towns with his family or his dogs
tom side.

POPULAR PHRASES,

chipping the wink" generally re-
garded as vulgar phrase, is to be
found in grave historical romance.
1t occurs in "Valerius, Roman Story" "
by John Gibson Lockhart, Sir Walter
Scott's son-in-law, and for many years
editor of the Quarterly Review.
The origin of the phrase, 81 can't see
it," is traced to Lord Nelson, who, at
the battle of Copenhagen, was told
that a signal was given to cease firing,
and the direction pointed out to him.
Selling a telescope, he applied it to his
blind eye, and exclaimed, ~ can't see
it,"
"Hauling over the Goals" dates six or
eight centuries back, when feudal bar
ons often used harsh methods of ex-
torting gold from rich Jews by sus-
pending their victims above slow fires
until they paid ransom or died. There
is scene Of this in "Ivanhoe," in
which the Templar endeavored to
extort money from Isaac of York, faith
er of Rebecca.
Anxious mothers often tell their
daughters that "beauty is but skin
deep" The phrase probably origina-
ted with these two lines:
Beauty is but skin deep, and so doth fall
Short of those statues made Of wood or stone,
which occurs in the Rev. Robert Flem-
ing's poems, published in 1851.
The term, "blue stocking" was
originally used in Venibe about the
year 1,400 to designate the literary
classes by colors. In Mills "History
of Chivalry," we are told that members
of the varions academies were distin-
guished by the color Of their stockings,
blue being the prevailing color. The
application Of the term to women orig
mated with Miss Hannah Moore's
admirable description of blue-stock-
ing club in her "Bas Bleu."
"Corporations have no souls" is a
much older expression than most
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-07-31

people imagine. 1t originated with
Sir Edward Coke, who, in the Six
teenth century, was considered one of
the best legal writers of the age. He
says, in one of his treatises "Corpo-
rations cannot commit trespass, nor be
outlawed, nor communicated, for
they have no souls"
There are few such common-sense
proverbs as every man is the archi-
tect of his own fortune" Appius
Claudius, a Roman censor, used it in a
speech delivered by him 450 years
before the Christian era.
"Better late than never" was used
over 800 years ago by Thomas Tucker
in his give Hundred Points of Good
Husbandry. Later on, we find Bun
yam used it in his "Pilgrim's Prog
ress."
Not few of the phrases in use at
this day originated with Lyly, and are
found in his "Euphues," a popular
book published in 1880. Among them
might be mentioned "caught nap
ping" "a crooked stick or none,"
"brown study" "catching birds by
putting salt on their tails" etc. When
people do not particularly like each
other it is sometimes said "there is no
love lost between them" The phrase
occurs in the old ballad of "The Babes
in the Wood" and in tale of the days
of Shakespeare, entitled "Montchanay."

warmed up to his work, and they were
making better time than ever.
They made all the near cuts, and
sharp turns, and curves around that
yard they upset barrels and pans,
broke down all the pretty flowers in
the front yard they knocked down a
shelf, and smashed all the jars Of pre-
serves, and then they disappeared for
a moment under the wood-shed, where
'Patterson's Boy could be heard
humping his head among the old traps
piled up there.
But it never got really lively and in
teresling until the calf upset the bee
hive. Then the buzzing of the bees,
on that sweet Sabbath morning was
so suggestive of the land of milk where
honey flows, that it was strange if
"Patterson's Boy" didn't remember it.
I think he did, from the way he hop
ped and danced and yelled and kicked
and roared.
BY this time Patterson came out,
and got an old scythe and moved
around with it until he cut that blast
ed old string and got his only son in
the house. The neighbors were fully
aroused by this time, and began to
come in and look at him. They had
put some more clothing on him, how
ever, as the scant attire he had started
out with was nearly all gone.
You couldn't reasonably expect a
shirt to last that boy long, scalloping
around as "Patterson's Boy" did that
morning. Invent in to look at him, too.
1t was interesting to see him. His
nose stuck out like large, full-grown
tomato; his ears were as large and
thick as your hand; his mouth looked
like hole in huckleberry dumpling,
and his eyes-well, he didn't see any.
1t was an extraordinary occasion to
the family, but when 1 asked him if
he were going swimming with me, and
the other boy asked him if he wanted
to play marbles, the Patterson family
thought we didn't appreciate the situa-
ton, and we were promptly escorted
to the door, our exit from the mansion
being fastened by the toe Of old Pat
tersons' boot.

two on the ends of the crossties and
two on the bank of the railroad cut

bank had to be awakened by the train
hands so fast asleep were they.

A MOVING CITY.-America may
safely claim to possess the only city in
the world that changes its geographic
cal position as years roll on.
The city of Virginia, New, in the
year 1875, was nearly three feet from
the spot on which it now stands, and
is imperceptibly slipping along in the
direction of Gold canon.
The movement is so gradual that it.
does not in the least affect the stabili-
ty of the buildings, for the ground is
practically solid for 100 feet down. !.
where it meets the solid rock.
The thick layer of earth is known as
a slide, which is caused by the con-
slant crumbling of the rock on the
mountain side.
1t is calculated that in 100000
years the site of the present city of
Virginia will be solid rock, and if the
ruins of the town were still in exis-
tence, they would be discovered three
or four miles to the east of the spot
where it now fourishes.

pose, although blood was dripping from
the tortured mouth, when, with the
speed of the wind, horse and rider had
passed her by, dashing directly toward
that low archway of the fallen tree,
as if the horse had cleverly considered
this means of delivery from the hated
incubus upon his back For an instant
Edith closed her eyes, feeling as if
Azrael, the angel of death, stood beside
her, but the mans cool presence of mind
saved him.
As they neared the menacing
branches, when it seemed inevitable
that he should be dashed senseless to the
ground from the blow so swiftly ap-
preaching, he loosened his feet from the
stirrups and when the horse plunged
yiciously under the low trunk Brown s
hands grasped limb Of the tree above,
swinging him clear from the saddle,
whence he coolly dropped to the ground
a moment later. The colt, blindly mis-
calculating the height of the opening,
had become tightly wedged under the
leaning trunk, securely held by the sad
die, from which plight he was released
by couple of the boys, who came run
ming down from the barn, and presently
was led away, a sadder and it is to be
hoped wiser animal.
When this task was accomplished,
Paul Brown walked over to where Edith
was still standing. II hope you were
not frightened:' he said, the question
rather ridiculous, he felt, in view of her
evident terror.
''It was horrible! l never saw any
thing more dreadfuln' she cried, with
shudder, pale to the lips. why dc
you do it?''
