A "villain" is such person as a
Roman gentleman came in contact with

be one who has relations with the campi

company that appeared from a rich

Just as the rising
WORDS IN tide of business in a
HARD LUCK. growing town drives
the residences be-
fore it, so that the fashionable houses of
few years ago are left forlorn amid
the noise of traffic; while on the other
hand the open fields are taken posses
sion of and made to bear the homes of
the well-to-do; so in the shifting of
mems ideas gradual changes are brought
about in the meaning of words. Once
respectable terms fall into evil ways, so
that they are no longer fit to appear in
polite society, and, conversely, words of
ill repute are brought up into the light
and air and formally adopted by the
wise and good. Sometimes there are
signs of method in this process, but
often it appears to be governed only by
the freaksh spirit of language.
Who, for instance, can explain why
the good and bad words for boy and girl
have been reversed in position in the
last 500 years? When Wycliffe trans
lated the Bible into English "knave"
and "wench" were the proper words.
He made St. Paul proclaim himself 'the
knave of Jesus Christ" and told the
story about the ruler of the synagogue
thus: "And he holding the hond of the
wenche, seith to her, Wenche, to thee I
seie, rise thou. And anon the wenche
roos, and walkide." Our word girl, on
the other hand, had a rather unsavory
flavor at that time; and the old Teu-
tonic word for a lad, or young man, has
been advanced to "knight" in English,
while, oddly enough, it has been de-
graded in German to mean stable. boy.
1t is remarkable how fate has perse.
cuted nearly all words applying to the
plain people. A large proportion of our
most unpleasant terms were at one time
perfectly respectable words, and meant
no more than that the bearer was en-
gagged in manual labor, or in agricul-
ture. They were no doubt started on
the downward path by the idle upper
class, who were displeased with such
people because they wore old clothes
and smelled sweaty. Vulgar" and
'lewd" are such words they come re-
spectively from the Latin and German
words for the common people. "Vul-
gar" brought it's supercilious sneer into
English with it; "lewd" has come down

RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure Condition

From dc Mirror. Manchester. n. H.

NNN"f "e +NFfNH AH"t'rrtrFf ~
Although rheumatism is n OF the
most painful and dangerous Of the
many troubles which afiict mankind,
it can be permanently cured if a prop
'er course of treatment is taken. The
real cause of rheumatism is the pres
ence OF acid in the blood and the
only cure is to purify, nourish and
strengthen this vital fluid. The best
specific yet discovered for this purpose
is DIR. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People and the number OF cures they
have effected in cases Of this stubborn
disease is wonderful Mrs. S. D.
Loveland, OF No. 1873 West Hancock
street, Manchester, n. H., was cured
OF a severe attack Of rheumatism by
the use of this remedy. She says:
Several years ago one of my knees
was injured by a fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that / could not
bend my knee. 1t was very painful
and / was unable to move about. /
tried various remedies, but not n OF
them relieeyd me in any way.
"In the latter part Of August,
nearly three months after the pain
and stiffness began, a friend, Mrs.
Rothwell, of Everett, Mass, told me
OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l willingly gave them a trial
and experienced relief in a few days.
1 continued until l had taken three
boxes and was able to bend the knee
and go up and down stairs without
difficulty. l have since taken the
pills a number of times for other
troubles and always with good results.
II have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times.
l have not learned with what effect
they were taken, excepting in the case
of two of my relatives and a young
living in my family, each O
whom was greatly benefited. l fee

GOT RICH BY PLUCK, NOT LUCK
How the Bonanza Big -Four Found
Their Vast Treasure

Their Vast Treasure
Everyone has heard Of the marvellous
luck Of the big Four"-Mackay, Flood
Fair and O'Brien-in the great Com
stock mine in Nevada. but few have
ever heard the story OF how the four
men first came together. The tale Is
told as follows:
Inst beyond the divide" two men
kept a store. They were James L. Flood
and william O'Brien. They had saved
some money after a few years OF trad
ing with the miners, were ready for a
deal in one Of the mines, and had faith
in Mackay and Fair. So when Maekay
walked into their store one morning
and remarked. Jim Flood, If you n
O'Brien will put up the money. Fair
and 1 will put up the brains, and 1
think the four Of us can buy the Con
virginia and make something out OF
it,"
How much do you want, JohnT
said Flood.
Eighty thousand dollars
The deal was closed on the spot. The
history of the Con" Virginia is as
well known, almost. as the story Of
Washington and the cherry tree. Be
fore the four miners struck the lead
they had exhausted their money and
their credit. There seemed TO be moth
ing in the rock they brought out OF the
earth. Other miners met them day
after day and laughed at their appar'
emily hopeless task They were jeered
and made fun Of. But they kept seri
Gus faces ano sober minds, and were
not to be thwarted by the idle talk Of
idlers.

The four partners did not lose thei
grit, nor did they rely on luck. On
afternoon the rumOr spread Over Viz

men had struck a body Of ore. 1t spreai
