her as to her duties in answering the

very axious to make a good impress

gave Mary a special drill at the last
moment,
When the first callers arrived. the
most exclusive and stylish ladies of the
little town, Mary ushered them in
gracefully and then presented herself
to her mistress upstairs, cap, kerchief,
white apron, silver tray, card, all in
correct array, and with bare feet.
It had struck her that it would be
cooler this warm day, and nothing had
been said about feet.-Good House.

THE TERM "GREEHoRN."

The term ''greenhorn" originated in
this way: The pioneers of the west
were much given to hunting deer 1t
was a fact known to early settlers that
when the horn Of fawn began to
grow there was ring of green hair
around the spot. It was considered a
disgraceful thing for hunter to kill a
fawn. cruel act, and the killing time
was regulated by the growth of the
horn. There was a sort of unwritten
law that no one should kill malo
fawn before its horn could be seen. A
person who was so unthoughtful as to
XIII deer under the proper age was
called ''greenhorn." He was so
named because the young horn of the
deer and the hair around it were stil
green. The use of the appeiation
gradually spread until it was applied
to all raw or inexperienced youths or
persons easily imposed upon.

Creston, April 12.-J. H. Sherrod, a
young man whose place of residence
is Quincy. ILL.,, passed two spurious
checks on a couple of Creston mer-
chants Saturday evening and realized
$40 in cash for his trouble. Sherrod
has been here for some weeks visiting
with his grandfather William Stob-
bart, by whom he has been introduced
to business men and others. Stobbart
is a gentleman of very high standing
and has the confidence of all who
know him. This gave Sherrod some
standing. Saturday evening after
banking hours he stepped into Lichty
Bros store and asked to have q check
for $35 signed by himself cashed say
ing that he had money in the bank on
deposit but the banks were closed and
he could not get some cash he wanted
to use before Monday morning. This
check was cashed. He had a second
check for SIS cashed at McGregor Bros.
store.
Monday morning it was learned that
the young man had no money on de-
posit in any of the Creston banks, but
he was gone. He left the city early
Sunday morning, having bought a
ticket for Kansas City. Efforts are
being made to locate Sherrod.
