THE WORD ~"NlCKNAME."
1t Had Its Origin In the Old English
Word sEke."

The word nickname has it's basis in.
the old English "eke," IN addition or
prolongation, as used in "The Mer-
chant Of Venice" "'Tfs to piece the
time to, exc it and to draw it out at
length" Beekeepers still call a wood
en- cylinder added to a hive to increase
its capacity an ''eke," and we speak
Of eking out an income.
A nickname, therefore, is an exc,
name. or one added, which gained its
present form through the transfer Of
the m of the indefinite article used
with it from its proper place to the
front Of the noun. Thus IAN ekename"
became first a "a nickname and then
"a nickname"
There are some similar cases in Eng
lish Of which the word newt" is an
example. having been originally "an'
ewt." Sometimes the IN" has left the
word and become attached to the arti-
cle,. as in apron, which was in olden
times & 'napron." while "a nauger'
has come down tosu as rs "an auger,".-,

"When acquaintanceship ripens into

Graham in the Onlooker. 81 don't think

very little left to give. A man can
have IL man friend and q woman a
woman. because there are places where
men meet men and women meet wo-
men alone, neutral ground where the
other sex cannot enter because Of it's
limitations, and there real friendship
may live and thrive on the crumbs
which fall from the rich mans table.
"For friendship implies something Sc
rious. You must give Of yourself. YOU,

taken back. One has no right to give
up Il friendship unless the other per.

absolute impossibility, and even then

NATTER AND FORCE.
Their Indestructibility Proved by,
Neyyton,s Famous Axiom

TUGlE Oe0 UCk1D41Aky v w
Ncwton's Famous Axiom.
Mr.. Spencer has said C"First Princi-
ples," page 1872 that 1.-THE veriication of
the truth that matter is indestructible'
rests only upon "a tacit assumption of
It," "a tacit assumption" with no ra-
tional basis for the assumption, would
be no verihcation; it would be a guess.
The truth that matter and force are in
destructible rests upon a better ground
than an assumption. 1t is the inevita-
BILE corollary of Newton's Third Law
of Motion, which is accepted as the
fundamental axiom of physics, "To
every action there is an equal and o.
posite reaction" If there could be "a
single case in which matter and force
are an%nihilated, then Newton's axiom
would be untrue, for in that case re-
action would fail to follow action. The
turning of something into nothing by
the destruction of matter or force
would break the succession of cause
and effect, of action and reaction, and
consequently. the theories of the indie
strue}ibility OF matter and of force
have their roots in Newton's axiom, in
the great law Of consequences, Of
equivalence, Of compensation, Of bal
ance.-From Balance: The Funda-
mental Verify" by Orlando j. Smith.

FREEBOOTERS.
In England They We're los Troop
ers, In Ireland BOgtrOtters.

In England They Were Moss Troop
ers, In Ireland ~Bogtrotters.
Moss troopers in olden days in Eng
land infested the marshy country Of
Liddesdale' and subsisted chiefly by
rapine. Such freebooters in Ireland
were called bogtrotters, apparently for
a similar reason.
Sir Walter Scott, in the "Lay of the
Last Minstrel introduces the word
thus:
A fancied moss trooper, b boy
The truncheon of a spear bestrode,
And round the hall right merrily
In mimic foray rode.
This name was also given to maraud-
ers upon the border. Mr.. Camden
calls them borderers and describes
them as a wild and warlike people.
''They are. called moss troopers, says
Fuller in a long account of them in his
"Worthies of England" because they
dwell in. the MOSES and ride in troops
together. They dwell in the bounds
or meeting of two kingdoms, but obey
the laws of neither. They come to
church as seldom as the 29th Of Febru-
airy IL into the calendar."-Pear-

THREE SQUAD FARMS.
Franklin County Parties Turning Their
Attention to Pigeon Raising.

Special to Times Rspublican.
Hampton. July 13.--The raising OF
SQUADS for the market has struck some
Of the people here as being a profitable
business, and within the past few
months three SQUAD farms have been
started near here. The largest one IS
owned by ]. j. Zimmerman, at Chaplin
and has a capacity of about 5000 birds,
the other two are at Hampton, one
being owned by G. D.. Palmer and the
other by John Mcneil. The rapidity
with which pigeons increase and the
prices which can be obtained for young
SQUADS makes it look like a good thing.
A pair Of pigeons will raise nine or ten
pair Of squads each year and the
squads can easily be sold at from
35 to 40 cents pair. So with three or
four thousand birds as starter 1t can
easily be seen that there must be a
big profit. The cost of keeping pigeons
and of raising the squads until they
are four weeks old, which Is the time
they are marketable, is very small.
None Of the farms have commenced
to market their squads yet. as they
prefer to raise all the young ones, old
birds being q scarce article around
here.

found the ground so nearly solid rock
that it was necessary to dig it with a

what appeared to be stone began TO
move. Investigation developed the
fact that 1T was n turtle. covered with
mud. giving every indication that he
had been without morsel to eat for
any number of years, yet alive. He
had entirely lost the power of loco
motion, but when turned on his back
would make an effort to tilt h1mseH
on his nose and turn over. ON the
under side OF the turtle were dark
marks which appeared to have been
caused by his long rest between two
solid rocks and under weight OF
hundreds OF tons of stone and sand.
Mr.. Bealer stated that in all his years
of experience in the stone business he
had never seen anything of the kind,

stated that from his knowledge and

the turtle found yesterday morning had
been in that position for many, many
years.
