The Word 0Crnnkv

Crank in the sense of an eccentric
person is a new word. The very 6rst
written instance of crank in the mod.
ern sense that could be found for Dr.
Murray's dictionary was in the reports
Of the trial OF Guiteau, President Gar.
fields murderer. Guiteaus reference
to somebody as Il crank gave the word
vogue That has gone on spreading
But the adjective cranky was known
In 1877 as meaning sickly (the German
'krank''), and to Dickens in the senses
Of cross and crochety In all its mean
ings it springs from the root idea of
crooIedness, as does crank in its six
teenth century sense of a deceitfui
trick, as in "quips and cranks."

TUGGLEs FINED
IN THE j. s.
COURT
Mail Contractor Pleaded
Guiltyto, Charge of De-
laying the Mails.

j. NJ. Tugglcs, the contractor for
carrying theSUnitad States mail. be-
tween Chfpley and St Andrews. was
indicted, pleaded guilty ana fined in
the United States court yesterday, for
wilfully delaying the mails entrusted
10 his care for delivery from one of.
tice TO another. e4 #
TuSgles is the man who was traced
down by The Journal Some months
past subscribers at ST. Andrews sent
to the office numerous and almost
daily complaints regarding the delay
IN receiving their papers. An inves-
tiSai:on by The Journal was started
and IL was found that the papers for
st. Andrews always reached ,Chipley,
and that the delay was between that
point and st. Andrews.
Finally one of The. journal repre-
sentatives started from Pensacola on
the same train. with the papers, first
satisfying himself that they had been
sent out from the local Office. He
saw the papers safely in the pouch
al Cbipley and then went to st. An
drews. When he reached there the
papers had not arrived. - :
He Immediately started back over
the route and found at the stable OF
Tuggles several sacks of mail of va
rious classes. This was reported and
an investigation made by the post
office authorities, which revealed the
fact that it was not an unusual thing
for the mail contractor to leave a por-
ton of the mail when he could secure
a passenger for his vehicle.
! He was fined s25 by the postofBce
department, and arrested by the au-
thorities. Yesterday Judge Swayne
imposed an additional fine of. s25,
stating at the same time that he had
intended making the penalty $50, but
as SIS had already been taken out of
his pay by the postoffice department
he would reduce the fine that much.

The History of Tncitns

The entire history of Tacitus, as we
have the work, was regained from a
single copy found in the fifteenth CEN
fury in a monastery of WestphaHa.
That we should owe the works of this
author to one copy is a remarkable cir
cumstance, for the Emperor Tacitus,
who claimed to be descendant of the
historian, had copies of the history
placed In every library of the empire
and each year had ten copies transcrib-
ed for presentation to scholars. All, 1t
seems, persisted, save the Westphalian
copy.

to Cure Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame.
week of aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself. And
80 it is with ell the other symptoms
of kidney disorders. That is just
where the danger lies. You must
cure these troubles or they lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The
best remedy to use: is Doan's Kidney
Pills 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Pensacola people testify to permanent
cures.
Mrs. Albert POurtaless, residing at
$50 Government St. says: Mr.. Pour
taless has used DOan'S Kidney PITS
and values them very highly. He
has suffered from irregular action of
the kidneys and dull aching pain
across his loins and in the small OF
his back for years. The secretlonS
from his kidneys caused him much
annoyance. When he caught cold or
during changeable or stormy weather
his back ached terribly He tried all
kinds of remedies but obtained little
benefit. When he saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, he procured them at
drug store. They proved to be a
very effective remedy, relieving the
urinary trouble and the dull, heavy
aching in his back disappearing en-,
tirely. He recommends Doan's Kid
ney Pills very highly to his friends
at every opportunity.
