NOT PROFAN e.
One May Speak of a Takers Dam with

One May speak of a TinLsrs Dam with
out Profanity.
There is no profanity in saying that
any certain thing lis not worth a
tnker's dam" although IT is 30 con-
sidered by many. The expression
originated many years ago. when tink-
ering. or rnsnding lezky tin vessels
was much cruder than II is now In
former times the use OF rosin to
check the fiow Of solder when placed
on tin was not generally understood
at least by the rowing ;inkers- When
one OF these gentlemen OF the road
found . job. such as mendinx a wash
boiler or other tin household utensii.
he would get from the housewife or
domestic a piece of soft dough. With
this be would build dam around the
place where he Intended to put his
solder. Inside OF the circle thus
formed he poured the melted lead.
When the metal cooled ne would brush
away the dam of dough that had con-
fined IL to the desired limits. The heat
had hardened the heavy paste and
baked IL thoroughly. so IL was abso-
lutely Of no use for anything else. II
became one of the most useless things
In the world. and there was not enough
OF II even to be worth while carrying
to the pigs. Hence the expression.
which WAS originally intended to con-
vey a certain idea, appears to have
been retained. while the origin Is not
generally known.-New York Herald.

HOWARD NEWS.
BY the RECORD Correspondent.

BY the RECORD Correspondent.
Such beautiful spring weather; but
there is more sickness and colds than
for long time; in fact almost every
one has cold or la grippe.
Saturday the citizens of Howard
were shocked by the announcement
that Mrs. Flossie Miller, nee Stam-
baugh. had died very suddenly at her
home near Poncha Springs. She was
at the dinner table with the family,
her mother, Mrs. Stambaugh, being
with her. when she was stricken with
heart failure and died almost instant
ly. She leaves a husband and two
small children, the youngest a babe
10 days old. She was only nineteen
years old and was married to Mr..
Cora Miller some three years ago.
They were both former young people
Of Howard and have many sorrowing
sympathising friends here. The re-
mains were inferred in the Pleasant
Valley Cemetery Sunday afternoon;
Rev. Sandy officiating.
Mrs. Sang is very low with typhoid
fever, and fears are entertained for
her recovery. DIR. Jones of Salida is
attending her.
Jonah Perryine, the pioneer of the
valley. is quite sick with la grippe.
Mr.. Ed Campton who has been in
the employ of the d. & R. G. here
for several years, has just returned
from the hospital at Salida where he
has been confined with la grippe for
a couple Of weeks.
News reached here Friday that the
former postmaster of Wellsyille and
Kalbaugh, Allender, had committed
suicide with a revolver at Victor.
He was quite well known here and at
Salida- His remains were brought to
Cleora for burial and laid beside his
son, who died from the effect of vac
cination few years ago. 1t is
thought the fatLer's mind was affect
ed from the tragic death of his boy,
which led him TO take his own life.
Mr.. Max Zeise made business trip
to Canon City Saturday. He says it
did him more good than lots Of medi-
cine to get down TO Canon.
Mr.. John Taylor and son Marion
are working on their copper property
east of Howard.

Of the finest building stone ever sent
from this part Of the state, the rocks

\ remarkable coincidence of the sec

In 1858 Bishop Capers. Rev. DR.. Me
Swain, Rev DIR. Whitford Smith and
Rev. DIR. Duncan, of Virginia. each en-
tered his eldest son at a boarding school
at Cokesbury, s. e. This was fitting

friends.
The boys remained In the school as

under the same chancellor. When the

At the second battle of Manassas n

Why Amt You Killed =?

The battle of Shiloh many of the Fed
eral troops were raw recruits, who had
SEEN no service and were but poorly dis
ciplined. The division containing these
raw recruits was nearest the front, and
hence received the first attack of the
enemy. The onset was so sudden that
their commander. Gen. Prentiss, had
not time 10 properly form his men. He
rallied his forces as best he could, how
ever. and made vigorous fight. AS a
matter of course. there was more or less
scattering among these new recruits.
Inc fight by the way. was pretty hot
one, and at the surrender of the Pren-
tiss division there We're only about one
thousand men left out of six thousand.
Five thousand We're killed, wounded, or
had fed TO the rear.
As Gen. Nelson crossed the river he
met some of the demoraliZed recruits,
and endeavored TO rally them. Hailing
n captain who seemed TO be more de-
moralized than any of the privates, he
ordered him to get his men In order and
fall in line. The captains face was
pallid and he trembled with fear Said
he. My regiment is cut TO pieces. Every
man of my company has been killed" :"
Gen. Nelson reined up his horse and
turned upon the captain, laundering
out. Then why amt you killed. you
coward!'
