The Word "Quiz,"

Richard DAILY, proprietor of the
Smock Alley theater, Dublin, in
1871, during discussion on out
landish terms offered to bet 20 gum
cas- that within forty-eight hours
perfectly new word should be cur
rent in Dublin and within a week
be in common use with definite
significance. The bet was taken,
and after theater hours DAILY sent
out his call boys, scene shutters and
carpenters with cards on which the
word "quiz" was written and chalk
to reproduce it on all the doors and
shutters they could reach. Next day,
Sunday, this mystic word created
no little wonder and some alarm.
At once it became the talk of the
town, and in a few days, when the
townsfolk found that it was no sin
lister mark of a secret society, but a
mere hoax to set folk talking, it was
adopted in that sense.

A Hint For a Better Meal.

A former minister of the parish
Of Kirkmichael, in Ayrshire, was
resting in his study one Saturday
afternoon after having finished the
preparation of his sermon for the
next day when he was startled with
sounds of violent quarreling in his
own house. He jumped up from his
easy chair, opened the door and
heard the angry voice Of his own
man shouting in the kitchen, "Na.
moo, We thinner, tho | chase We to
Jericho. TIL catch We" The minis
er burst into the kitchen and found
there, to his great surprise, nobody
but the man himself, who worked
on the glebe and who was now seat
ed at table taking his supper.
"John, John, what's the meaning of
this? Wha' were we swearing at =!
Wha' were we fetchin' wi'?" "Me,
minister ?" said the astonished
John. 'SI'm no fetchin', I'm no
swearin' at onybody. Pm only sup

FATTI AND HER PAY.
An Incident In the Singers Engage
ment With MapIeson.

Nine. Patti always insisted on
having her fee for singing in her
hands before she would sing note.
Mapleson, the famous impresario,
told the following anecdote illustra-
tive of this side of the cantatrice's
character:
ri was bound by my contract to
pay to her before the beginning OF
each performance the sum of $500.
One evening l could only give her
$16O, which she refused to accept.
Her agent announced to me that
since l had failed to keep the con-
tract it would be annulled. l CON-
forted myself with the thought that
l had other resources and besides
had $3.50 in my pocket.
''Two hours later the agent wait
ed on me to say that on reflection
Nine. Patti would not break the
contract. He was empowered to ac-
cept the $3.50 and to say that Nine.
Patti would be on hand in time for
the performance, ola Traviata," in
complete costume, except her shoes.
As soon as the doors were opened
and tickets were sold | could pay
the remainder of the money. As
soon as she had it in her hands she
would draw on the shoes and step
on the stage when her cue was
given.
81 gave him the $3.50. After the
box office was opened he came again.
Only $50 had been taken in. This
/ gave to him to hand to the prima
donna, hoping that she would feel
justified in giving the word to begin
the performance without waiting
for the remaining IS. But this ex-
pectation was only partly fulfilled.
With contented expression on his
face, the agent came back the third
time with the comforting message
that madam had put on one shoe.
when you show her the remaining
IS, she will put on the other shoe.
And so she did when | handed her
that amount. Then, beaming with
pleasure, she stepped on the stage,
and the opera was most brilliantly
sung"

1t is unoficially reported that
Roosevelt and Fairbanks polled
approximately eighty-one per
cent of the total vote of this state.
If the official count confirms this
statement it will probably make
Washington the banner Repub-
lican state of the Union, with
Oregon a close second. In this
county the Republican electors
polled over seventy per cent of
the total vote, the Democratic
candidates little over fourteen
per ceAt, the Socialist and So
cialist-Labor candidates COM
bined a little less than ten per
cent, the Prohibitionists about
three per cent and the Populists
about two-thirds of one per cent.
The increase in the vote of the
county over that cast in the
presidential election four years
ago was about twelve per cent.

Mr.. Larson and all who enter
tain like views it seems to the
islander that his argumeni is a
mere begging Of the question.
The statistics he quotes furnish
an unanswerable argument in
favor Of temperance and many
columns OF similar facts equally
in point might he printed with
out showing that amy great prog
ress in the cause of temperance
has ever been made or is likely
to be through the effort to make
the principle of prohibition the
corner stone Of a political party.
Much more can be accomplished
through local option laws, edu-
cation and by proper home in

rising generations that "Wine is

The Republicans of this state
ought to appreciate the very
great service which the Seattle
Post Intelligencer rendered to
the party during the late cam
paign. 1t was the only one of
the big city dailies which gave
earnest and loyal support to the
Republican cause from the be-
ginning to the end of the cam
paign. The Herald and Rev.
ellie, of Bellingham, did splen-
did service for the entire ticket,
but excellentpapers though they
are, covering we'll their field,
they make no pretense of being
metropolitan journals. The Ia
coma Ledger, which has always
been Republican, withheld it's
editorial support from the ticket
until within few days before
the close of the campaign, when,
apparently fearful that it's ST.
lence might be used effectively
against the candidacy of Senator
Foster for reelection, it came
out for Mead. The "P-I," on
the contrary, put up a great
hight from start to finish and
well earned the gratitude of the
party and especially of the men
who will be the chief benefici.
