John" said Mrs. Younglove, "do
you know that you forgot something
when you went away this morning?'
Mr.. Younglove thought for a mo
ment, and then replied:

spnnish-Americnn words.

Many English words are taken direct
ly from the Spanish. When you spelk
of a Piccadilly collar, you are not using
slang. The "piccadallo" is a collar
which at one time was worn by all men
of position in Spain.
A few years since many American
cities boastod of companies of volunteer
soldiers called grenadiers.
The first grenadiers were in Grenada
Our marines, of whom we are specially
proud just now, got their name by clip
ping the last syllable off "InariDeros, :"
which is the equivalent Spanish word
Rye bread without caraway seeds
would not be rye bread at all. Caraway
is a purely Spanish word. derived from
''alcara hueya."
The hammock on your veranda got
its name from the Spanish "hamaca, 3"
although that is not purely Spanish
word Columbus got it from the In

THE Hartford Times says that
over 100, 900 of the pensioners now
on the government rolls were ba-
bies when the war between the
states ended, 33 years ago. The
Times proceeds: There are I'M
doubtedly 100000 soldiers on the
pay rolls who never carried a gun
in battle nor rendered any service
in the war. No wonder Senator
Vest calls this wicked raid upon
the treasury, when the people are
heavily loaded by war taxes spoil
alton Not one of the Connecticut
Representatives objected to the
BILL" The Charleston News and
Courier takes the same view the
News does, that while it is
the duty of the country to provide
literally for the care and support
of its needy veterans, it is the duty
OF the country's Congressman to
protect the people from the greed
of pension bummers.

THE outlook for the.American
nation is dark indeed for the ma
ton if it goes over body and soul
to the Republican idea of expan-
sion and jobbery. A standing army
of 10000 men means good bye to
the rights of the people. The mil
itary will dominate and rule every
thing before it, the same as in
France and in Germany to-
day. The only people in the
United States to be benefited are
those of vast corporate wealth,
and they want big army of tie

freight to fight aud conquer more

Fish Stories from the North.

THE waters of Alaska, both oceanic

Deming of Vancouver. Nobody who

in these waters can believe the truth.
In Bering sea there are fishing banks
where cod and menhaden are caught in
numbers that put the Newfoundland
banks away into the shade The her

the sea as far as the eye could reach,
and fishermen tell ne they are actually

go up the rivers in the spring and early
summer to spawn, and sometimes in
the shallower parts of stream are so
thick that they actually climb over
each other, and the Indians and others
secure all they want with clubs and
pitchforks. When they encounter
perpendicular fall they leap to an as

smoking. II is one of the most DOW
ertul and dangerous opiates known Its
use in mild form produces the great
est hilarity and exhilaration of spirits

1t is struggled into prisons, and the
authorities have hard work to keen

Saturated with this drug they forget

Mexicans, and the natives OF South
Arizona, and is quite profitable arti-
Gle OF barter. For 1t. as for opium
and liquor. the devotee will sacrifice
his last dollar. Its use long continued
undermines the constitution and pro-
