Probably very few persons who fire.
ouently use the expression "As mad as
a halter" have any idea as to what 1t
means or why halter Is necessarily
any more subject to fits Of anger than
a plumber, blacksmith or carpen'
ter. The expression is said to have
come into use half century ago, when
the manufacture Of hats was done
wholly by hand. The most striking
thing about the process was that OF the
beating up of the felt. The halter first
dipped the mass of wool and hair fire.
ouently into hot water; then. selling a
stick in each hand, he belabored the
mass most vigorously. stopping now
and then to get his breath, until the
material was matted together In a
rough sort of felt. The lively beating
administered to the felt, as If the work
man were actually incensed. gave rise
to the familiar smile.
