THE WORD "HOOOLUM."
Man and incident From which ,
SprunE I'm Sam Er,n.t.

Man and incident From vbsc, n,
sprung I'm SAN Francisco.
"lioodlum," the word which hos
round place i'm the vernacular of the To-
cal lexicon. is well understood to an
ply TO class of Objectionable Young
toughs who have no respect for sex
age or the rights OF decent people and
no sense of what is proper or becoming
IN the character of him to whom the
eplthet Is justly applied-a hoodlum to-
uay, criminal tomorrow.
ME the meaning OF the term IL
Wen understood by the people few
there be who know the derivation of
the word and how il came TO be forced
into our language. 1t Is this:
1t was in 1872. when the Odd rel-
lows held picnic at Redwood CITY.
On that occasion gang of toughs
outted in" with the otherwise ORDERLY
attendance. Among the gang who
went from San Francisco was ono
whose name was Hood Lummix. M
'ure would seem TO have had farcical
part In the creation OF the original
hoodlum' for Hood Lummix was n
most peculiarly formed creature. CHM
sy' big footed, with a big mouth and
protruding teeth, thick lips, n big bushy
mead OF hair of a dirty brick color
Standing out like the quilts on a por-
eupine' this almost malformed speci-
men, as is usuh, attracted the atten-
ton of lot of young rowdies who
picked upon him as being an easy
guy for days sport Go where no
might, he was followed by a gang who
hooted and yelled and. in BRIEF mnde
things unpleasantly lively during the
day, but more particularly In the after
noon when the steam beer commenced
to Go its work.
The amusement of the gang did NOT
confine itself to the picnic grounds. On
the contrary. they went outside. broke
INTO orchards and flower gardens, de-
stroying valuable property, and finally
wound up the day by shooting vaIu-
able horse belonging to rancher. This
last act was more than the sheriff OF
San Mateo was prepared to stand. and
as result he bagged couple OF dozen
OF the chief offenders. When the cases
came up before the justice of the peace
In Redwood each and every one OF the
accused laid the entire blame on Hood
Lummix- Poor, simple minded Hood
got six months in JAIL and I'm sentenc-
Ing him the Justice, who was very
much displeased that he could not send
the entire gang TO state prison, deliv- |
cred lecture to the offenders. in |
which be said: IL now warn you TO |
keep out of this county; we want no
more of Hood Lummix or his gang 20 |
visit us" Hence the word became coin |
ed by dropping the last syllable OF the |
name, making the word as now used, |
'hoodlum. San Francisco Call.

most interesting relic was turned
up at Upper Sandusky some time ngo
While employees at the Pennsylvania
depot were clearing away an old case
In which had been stored a number of
records. 1t is the first book of rules
issued by che Pittsburg, Fort WAYNE
and Chicago railway. When the book
was issued the road was AZ miles
long, but the official time card gives
the correct length now ut 46s miles
Forty-hve years ago, when this book
was first given TO the trainmen. the
train dispatcher was an unknown
quantity. To take his place maximum
speeds were set forth I'm the rule book.
and these are decidedly Interesting in
these days OF seventy-five miles an
hour. 1t is said. 1.-The maximum speed
Tor passenger trains shall be a mile in
minute and half and In four min
utes over large bridges, and for freight
trains mile in four minutes" An
other section insists that "freirhts
must keep out OF the way OF passenger
trains"
The whistle played an important
part in railroading In those DAYS. IL
was TO be kept sounding most OF the
time. The fireman was enjoined thus:
Throwing wood from the tender
while the same is In motion Is strictly
forbidden"
Another rule says that "when live
stock is ahead on the track the engine
must be stopped IL possible and the
ilVe stock driven on to prevent acct
ient. Delays caused by a careful OBJ
srvance OF this rule Will be a good
eNeuse for being behind time and los

All Were Gentlemen.

Ii Is too often forgotten that ar
rogance and pride are sins In them
selves. The lofty spirit which boasts
that 1t is free from the guilt of others
ana holds aioof from the repentant sin
ner, whom it surveys with scorn, Is
not that pride most heinous sin I'm
the sight OF just God? During the
darkest days OF the French revolution
or 1880 great mob OF Insurgents and
rioters were blockading the Partisan
streets. IT is useless to appeal to
Iner reason. They have no reason"
said General Lafayette, the command
er of the national guard, which ulti-
mately placed Louis Philippe upon the
French throne. Shoot them down like
uoSs. Let me, general, try to scatter
them," said STAFF officer to his com
mander. The young man took off his
hat and rode up TO the threatening
mob. Then he cried. IAN gentlemen
Will please to retire, for j am ordered
10 shoot down the rabble." At once
the mob scattered. Not" wrote the
historian. from fear, but because not
one OF those fierce rioters wanted the
people of France TO consider that he
belonged TO the scum or the offscour-
ihSs OF the nation" Because arrogant
pride considers herself different from
the repulsive hags OF sin does that
make her different? I tell thee nay.
The vi!est and the most degraded
forms OF sin are not more condemned
III Gods sight than the sin of the
Pharisee. Christ said It, We must be-
lieve it.
VINO Is this Pharisee OF old modern
ized into the language OF the church
life OF today? Let me describe him rs
you nave often seen him. Sunday
morning is here. The supercilious crea-
ture crawIs out OF bed. He must 60 to

would not ask another physician to
come TO the bedside of the sick for CON
Sultation. Neither hGs Christ any use
for one OF his disciples who knows so
much that he is not willing TO come to
sit at his feet and learn of him. Are

sinful pride OF life! How hard It is for
some OF you TO give upl After Sam
Houston for years had been one OF our
nations most prominent men he came
In his old age TO represent Texas in the
United States senate. No sooner did
he come to Washington than he went
to a famous Baptist church there, of.
which Rev. DIR. Samson was pastor.
For eight long years he attended this
church. AT last he came forward and
gave his heart to Jesus Christ. Just
before his first communion DIR. Samson
asked Senator Houston into his private
room. What is 1t you wish me to
dol" asked the old warrior, fixing his
keen eye upon DIR. Samson's face
the alienation between you and Sena-
tor So-andsso. You will meet him next
Sunday morning at the Lords supper.
1t seems to me that you ought not TO
meet there unless in Christ's name Won
are ready to forgive and be forgiven.
WIZ you thus meet Senator So-and-soq
VIII you destroy sinful pride. go and
forgive for Christ's sake?" This sena-
tor had been bitterly unjust to the
great liberator OF Texas. DIR. Samson
said: AT first the fire began to glow
In General HOuston's eye. His brows
knit. His teeth clinched. His whole
frame shook with the struggle between
aroused conscience and the old bitter
ness or feeling that he had for wears
cherished. But at last the man of nj
most ungovernable passions was chang
ed from a lion into lamb. and in n
subdued voice and with tears in His
eyes be said. AR. Samson. for Christs

Ada county is the banner county of
Idaho in point of wealth and popula-
ton. 1t has the lowest. tax levy and
the most liberal valuation of property
of any county in the, state. Its area
is 1900 square miles. and it's popula-
ton is, approximately, $4,000. There
are in the county i 1 ,526 acres Of land
subject to cultivation and 10000 acres
under cultivation. ~
The principal industries are fruit
culture, stock raising, dairying and
farming. There are some very valu-
able gold mines now operating near
Boise, the county seat.
The fame of Ada county fruit is al
most world wide. It's soil is especial
ly adapted to fruit culture. It is like
that Of the valley of the Nile, very
fertile when water is applied and most
enduring Of any. It produces under
irrigation, in large quantities and OF
large size and favor, apples; peaches
apricots, pears, cherries and all kinds
Of small fruits, Strawberries. raspber.
ries, blackberries, etc. Fine straw
