NEW SLAM G.
Expressive Words That Have Crept Int
the Language.


the Language
Chicago Record.
A slang dictionary needs revising
every week.
Each day, IT would seem, some new
and expressive word or phrase IS
either born o. adopted into a new
meaning.
The other evening a police captain
was telling Of a robbery case that had
come under his observation.
Said he: "The fellow had no busi-
ness to go into the place. As soon as
he went in they spotted him for a live
lobster"
"FOr a what"
"For a live lobster. Haven't YOU
heard that before?"
"What does it mean
"A live lobster is a man with money.
That's what he is called by the people
who arc after his money. II they call
him a dead lobster"
Another slang phrase occasionally
heard in the streets, and probably
destined to a long career Of usefulness,
Is ION the Ice"
A nan who asks a favor OF another
and is refused says he is ION the ice"
1t is equivalent to saying that he
''got the marble heart"
Any one who Is kept In a chilly con-
ditiOn by hard luck is supposed to re-
main ION the ice."
In the office buildings there Is a new
. compound word which is most expires

During the cold snap hundreds o

Fruit Along This Coast.

Respecting the adaptability Of the
coast for successful fruit growing, the
following extracts from what a scien-
tile hort iculturist Of California has
81 say about the matter in the Mobile
Register, is entitled to special con-
sideratidn:
II am perfectly infatuated with
Your climate and soil for the cultiva-
tinm ~ fruits Of the highest excel
lcnrc. That portion which l have
had HE opportunity Of seeing cannot
hc surpassed either In the old or new
world.
Your climate is warm and sufb-
efeEtry moist to grow fruit Of almost
all kinds except the apple, and ever
this fruit can be grown with c0nsid-
cradle success il only summer varic.
lies are planted.
Il consider it the home OF the
grape, par excellent. When l say the
grape. | mean the varieties Of south
err Europe. The conditions for these
grapes are In every way similar to the
most favored vineyards of Europe.
California cannot stand a compari.
son. She has got neither the soil MOI
tlw climate. Still she has something
which you must have before you can
~ycpll i'm fruit culture, and that Is a
thorough, knowledge Of the business.
One practical lesson on grape growing
is suticicnt to enable any person OF
ordinary intelligence to successfully
grow that fruit, and SO 1t is with all
either fruits. | must say That l have
t~ve. seen or Travelled over finer peach,
grape, prune or pear country in my
life"
"A scientific knowledge Of fruit cul'
ture is the first essential OF a heavy
immigration to your coast. This car
he brought about by letting the worlt
know what you have got by judiciou,
advertising"
This subject Of fruit along Thu
coast will be considered in next issu'
in the light OF local experience and re
suits attained.
What knowledge has been gaine'
by experience under proper condition
is AS Il clamp hid under a bushel."

A good joke Is related at the OK
pcnsc Of a modest young Dakota
newspaper man. 1t is To the effect
that the pusher Of the pencil went
out to report a party the other even
ing where the home had recently been
blessed with IA new baby. Accom-.
panied by his best girl, he met the
hostess at the door, and after the
usual s%alutatlons, asked after the
new baby's health. The lady, who
was quite deaf and suffered with the
grip, thought he was asking about her
cold, and told him that she usually
had one every winter but this was the
worst one she had ever had it kept
her awake at night and confined heI
to her bed. Then noticing that. the
scribe was getting pale and nervous,
she SAID that she could tell by his
looks that he was going to have ont
lust like hers, and asked him to go II
and sit down. The paper was out az
usual the next week, but the lOca
editor has quit cnquiring about ba
