Where the admiral was absent.
And, I'm speaking by the card,
Who should have the greater honor,
Por that famous victory,

Or some ranking absentee?"
Ask Of Sailor Jack this que tion,
He will surely let yol right,
"Nith the man behind CUR, sir,

It's the man behind the gun, sir"
Sailor Jack is sure to say;
He is always at his station.
Ever ready to obey;

There is just one pace to find him
Always looi behind the gun
IT'S the man bchiud the gun, sir,
From the turret, deck or keel,

Hears the rush and roar Of steel;

With their comrades In the conflict,
Are our heroes of today.

"NoTHlNG DOING"
A Slang Phrase So Old That. It Has
Become Classic.

Some of those who affect the pic
turesque in their language, interlard-
ing their speech with what they sup
pose to be the latest slang phrases,
eschewing accepted and approved
English for what they think is the
latest up-to-date coinage of the pur-
lieus, may be shocked to learn that
one of the latest and most frequent
ly used phrases is at least fifty years
old, and possibly classic. This phrase
is nothing doing" Thomas De Quin-
cy, in writing his paper on the Knock
ing at the Gate in Macbeth" all Of
fifty years ago, framed this sentence:
"All other murders (referring to- Mac
beth's) look pale by the deep Grim
son Of his, and. as an amateur once
said to ME in a querulous tone: There
has been absolutely nothing doing
since his time, or nothing that's worth
speaking Of" Here the phrase is
used in precisely the same form and
III the same meaning that it is by the
professor of slang in this day.
About the same time, perhaps, a
few years later, Emerson said, in one
Of his essays that youth would have
its fling; that it demanded reach for
its energies and ambitions, and that
it would never be content away from
the centers of industry and popula-
ton where nothing is doing 1t
is the same phrase. Shakespeare
uses it as nothing dcne," but in the
same sense, in Measure for Measure"
king Lear and Othello." Enough
is shown to prove that the latest slang
is, after all, old and of good use.
Hitching this wagon of a slang phrase
to the stars, Emerson, De Quincy
and Shakespeare, it becomes classic.
It is a fair deduction to be drawn
from the DeQuincy quotation that the
phrase nothing doing" was slang in
the day of his writing, and was used
as such. It will be noted thai the
brilliant master of style did not use
the phrase except as a quotation.
From whom? An amateur murderer.
This amateur laments that In the
way of murders there has been MOTH
ing doing" since that done by Macbeth
worth speaking of. 1t is a fair con-
clusion that a man who tries his hand
OF murder nurely as an amateur with
an effort to attain that degree OF skill
which he has set up as standard LOT
himself is of that class n manner
of men who use slang as a haDit oi

CUNNING HIS HooDoo.
John Murphy Meets With Another
and Exciting Adventure.
ON Mondays Daily Gazett

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
John Murphy, the young nan who
compounds nostrums and manu-
features pills at the Chapple pharmacy
is certainly a hoodoo to himself
whenever he, attempts to take a lit
tie field sport with his gun.
"A few weeks ago Mr.. Murphy went
out hunting with a number of COM
panions. He raj walking through a
ranch when he suddenly espied a fine
flock Of ducks swimming majestically
in a ditch a few rods away. He stole
up very quietly and took a pot shot
at the bunch and when the smoke
cleared away counted six dead ducks
to his credit. About the time he fin
ished an irate farmer appeared on
the Gene and in no gentle tones in
formed Murphy that he had slaughter
ed six of his finest breed of %barnyard
fowls and the young man was compell-
ed 10 disgorge s. then and there.
The second installment Of bad luck
oIluSh wi. Mill ply yOoICluoy. LIZ
went down to Custer station with his
trusty shotgun for the purpose of
Lagging a few grouse and coton-tails.
1t was necessary for him to reach the
north side of the river and he took
the trip across in a cable ferry boat,
called a "go-devil' in that section
OF the country. He says the go-deyel
goes down the mountain side like
'shoot the chutes". apparatus and up
en- the other side and in its passage
across the river travels at a rate of
800 miles an hour. When halfway
across Mr.. Murphy was struck with
the fear that he was going to tumble
overheard and reached up and grab
bed hold of the cable. One
of the pulley wheels which
traverse the cable ran over his hand,
completely crushing the second fin
ger thereof and amputation may be
necessary. On reaching the north
side of the river Mr.. Murphy was
lucky in finding DR.. McAuley of Chi
cage there and his injured. hand was
dressed in the best possible manner
with the means at hand. He arriv-
ed home at Don today, accompanied
by DR.. McAuley.
