Some Examples.

A curious collection OF old diction-
aries occupies top shelf n a Chica-
goans library. says the Tribune OF that
city. These dictionaries derive their
interest from the errors they contain.
Thus. IN the Bailey dictionary Of
1874. the word "colibus" IS defined as
follows: "Colibus-A humming bird.
which makes a noise ike whiriwind.
though il IS no bigger than ny: feeds
on dew. has an admirable beauty OF
feathers. sid a scent as sweet as that
OF musk or ambergis."
The same authority thus describes
the Ioriot OF oriole: "LOriot-A bird
that. being looked upon by one that
has yellow taundice. cures the person
and dies itself"
Delpino's dictionary G7o3) says o.

storm. The people there had ard
Of his coming and had decorated the
city in honor Of the event He did
not visit them as chief executive Of the
state, but as president Of the Belgo-
American Drilling trust. A band was
called out, citizens on horseback and
in carriages met him and . general
jubilation was INDUCED in.
At the meeting held to hear the
good news he had to tell there was
such a crowd that all could not get In
to the hall. In commenting upon the
address made BY the governor the
Lander M~ountaineer says:
There were no frills or furbelows
about this learned gentleman's re
marks. It was . business talk from
the start to the finish, being only In
terrupted by frequent applause by the
audience who were running over, as
1t were, with enthusiasm At the
thought of SO Soon being connected
with the outside world by railroad
communication. Just think OF 1t!
There we're old men In that audience
who have not cen . railroad train
nor heard a locomotive whistle In for
ty years! And there were many
young men and women in the l
born in Fremont county, who have

Governor Chatterton told the PEG

ceived in the cost, how they had then
figured on the expense Of building q
railroad, how they had secured the
money for its construction and hnal-
ly concluded to adopt 1t as q means
of transporting their product. He
stated that the money for construc-
ton had been subscribed and he road
would surely be built without n dol
lar Of American capital. He dwelt on
Fremont county's climate and re-
sources, pointed out the advantages Of
railroad transportation and said that II
the city Of Lander would give his COM
pony terminal facilities, such ~ land
for depot. shops and trackage, and the
farmers of the Popo-Ade grant the
