Origin of the Word "socdollager."

A writer in the Atlantic gives this as
the origin of the slang word "socdolla-
ger" which was current some time ago.
"Socdollager" was the uncducated
mans transposition of "doxologer."
which was the familiar New England
rendering of ''doxology." This was the
Puritan term for the verse of ascription
used at the conclusion of every hymn,
like the Gloria" ut the end of a chant
ed psalm. On doctriral grounds it was
proper for the whole congregation to
join in the singing, SO that it became a
triumphant winding up of the whole
act of worship. Thus it happened that
"socdollagcr" became the term for any
thing which left nothing else to follow;
a decisive overwhelming finish, to which
no reply was possible.
SAVED BY PETROLEUM..
A North Carolina Baby Narrowly Escapes
Being Eaten by Wolf.
A recent dispatch from johnson City,
Tenn, says: Last Saturday big wolf,
which has terrorized the people of the
Bumpas Cave region, over in North
Carolina, for the last two or three
years, entered the cabin of n noun
taineer named Brown during the tenn
porary absence of the housewife, and
seizing the only occupant, an infant,
six months old, by the clothing in the
region of the chest, lifted it from the
rude cradle and bore it away into the
mountains.
When the mother returned to the
house and missed the baby she rushed
to the door just in time to see the wolf
and its precious burden disappear into
the neighboring woods. The distracted
woman began to scream. This brought
the husband, who was chopping wood
not far away, to the scene IN a state of
excitement. The story from the lips of
the hysterical mother almost drove the
brave fellow daft, but he seized his AK,
called his dog and started in hot pur-
suit. There was about two inches of
snow on the ground, and it providen-
TALLY enabled the desperate father of
the kidnapped infant to strike the trail
of the wolf Immediately after leaving
his dooryard. Once upon the track of
the beast he rushed through the noun
tains with speed born of distraction.
About two miles from his cabin the
tracks of the wolf led the pursucr
under a long shelf rock, protruding
from the side of q mountain. There
was no snow here and the father lost
the trail, but he now urged his dog,
which up to this time he had COM
PEELED to remain with him. The dog
took the lead and the man followed,
fully expecting to find the entrance to
the VOLTS den, from which he could
hardly hope to get the baby alive. But

came upon his faithful dog wagging
his tail and looking down at little

apparently unhurt otherwise. Brown
