The word "gringo." which Mexicans
apply to Americans when speaking of
them with contempt. is said to have
had its origin thus: During the Mexi-
can war our soldiers got into the hab-
it OF calling the simple Mexican sol
diers whom they took prisoners green
les" to signify their ignorance of
things in general and of military tao
tics especially. The Mexicans retaliat-
ed by calling the Americans '-greenos.
and this word finally degenerated into
''gringos."

True Literature.

We are inclined on the whole to be-
lieve that the stimulus to literary pro
duction exists within and not without
the man. 1t is not external circum
stances, poverty or riches. sickness or
health, greatness or humbleness, that
determine the productions or output of
genius 1t is the characteristics of the
man that determine not what he shall
learn or what he shall think, but what
he shall do. A stimulus from without,
such as poverty, may start production,
of course. but that is merely the phys
ical awakening of disposition that in
any circumstances would have been
awakened in some way at some time,
True literature is tho voice Of the soua
calling from the windows of the house
Of clay in response to those things OF
life that touch the nature of the soul
that speaks.-London Spectator.

into one of the houses they set them
selves to watch for his temperance.
The thief in the meantime had entered
a bathing establishment, and after a
refreshing bath entered the box OF an
other bather and calmly clothed him
self in the smart suit he found there,
then passed proudly and peacefully
out before the very eyes of his pur-
suers. The climax of humor came
when the other bather. arrayed in the
rags of the pickpocket, was grabbed by
the officers of the law at the door and
ragged off to the station house With
some difficulty the situation was eX-
planned; but the pickpocket is still

SOFT. GLOSSY HAIR.
1t Can Only Be Had Where There Is
No Dandruff.

Any man or woman who wants SOFT
glossy hair must be free of dandruff,
which causes falling hair. Since it has
become known that dandruff is germ
disease, the old hair preparations that
were mostly scalp irritants have been
abandoned, and the public, BARRIERS and
doctors included, have taken to using
Newbro's Herpicide, the only hair pre-
paration that kills the dandruff germ.
E. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D., says: Her
picide not only cleanses the scalp from
dandruff and prevents the hairs falling
out, but promotes a new growth. Her.
picide keeps my hair very glossy"
