CANrA CRUZ COUNTY sroCKMEN
 DON'T LIKE NEW RESERVE.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Santa Cruz county stockmcn are not rejoicing greatly over the creation of the Huachuca forest reserve in Cochisc and Santa Cruz counties and the crca. ton of the Tumncacori reserve, as they declare that with the various land grants, it will just about wipe Santa Cruz county off the map as far as the use of public domain for grazing may bc concerned.
 The Nogalcs Oasis makes not of one local effect of the new reserves. claiming that under the regulations of the for cstry service no cattlcmcn can graze on reserve without permit from the proper authorities, and there is levied and collected a tax of B cents pei head on all cattle for which permit, are granted.
 Stock growers calculate that the tn, of B cents per head for grazing priv ilcges will equal one-sixth the value o the calf crop each year.
 The county md Territory take al ready one-sixth in the regular tax sup port of government, and they feel tha 10 have the general government talk another sixth will make too great burden.
 They put it in this way: At prcsen prices and tax rates the tnx on 100 head of cattle is about $350. A her of that size is assessed at sl0,00' which with rate of az per cen makes just that sum. A grazing ia of 35 cents per head is also 1850 fc 1000 head, or 500 for both charge One thousand head of cattle will pr' ducc in each year BOO head of ealve which are worth $7 per head at the O tober branding, or s2,IO0 for the year
 increase. Consequently the Territo ial and county taxes, with the grazin fees, will be exactly one.third. Wit one accord the cattlemen assert th, the burden will be too great.

Miss Shralot NJ. Hall is in the city for n short stay, working up n matter which hinges upon her historical work for the past ten years.

term class at Erasmus Hall High
school was explaining to her pupils
the significance of the German pre-
fix ger" The English equivalent
is ''to make smaller" she explained.
'For instance" she continued, "the
word 'brechen' means 'to break.
while 'zcr-brechen' means TO break
into smaller pieces or TO shatter.'
'Now," she concluded when she
believed that she had made her pu-
pills understand, "can any one give

THIEVES SLANG.
The Travelling Irish Thinkers and the
Romany Rye.

Romany Rye.
The origin Of the thieves slang
or cant? Well, | guess that's a thing
that's buried in the mists of an
tiquity, as the scholars say. But I
once read up OH the subject, and
they say the Irish are responsible
at least for its introduction into our
language. There used to be men
who Travelled the roads of England
known as Irish thinkers.
They were travelling machinists
and did all sorts of repair work.
They were a canny lot-sort of a
labor union--they we're the wisest
men in England in their way. 1t
was worth a mans life to break into
their organization irregularly.
Along about 1880 the Romany
Rye people-gypsies, they call them
came to England from the CONT
nent. They were wanderers like the
thinkers, and naturally the two
classes came together. The thinkers
picked up few words of the gypsy
lingo.
The thinkers took to the jargon,
added new words to it, and it be-
came the language in a way of their
class. Finally it drifted to the Grim
inal element, and thus was born
thieves patter, flash, lingo, jargon
or whatever you may call it.
The origin of many of the words
is quite plain when one stops to
study for a moment. Now, take the
word DULL" which is used to dis
tinguish a policeman in plain
clothes. In the early days the
roundsmen of London carried bulls
eye lanterns because of the unlight-
ed condition of the streets. Roist-
erers could tell the approach of
the roundsmen or constables by
their lanterns. "Here comes a bulls
eye" was the natural cry.
This was contracted to "bull,"
and the appeHation still sticks.
Take the word "toy," which thieves
use as the slang term for a watch.
Years ago only the very rich could
afford watch because of the ex-
pense, and those who could not own
a watch and therefore did not real
ize their usefulness called them
''toys." as the rich were not sup
posed to purchase anything Useful.
The word Bible" to distinguish
a pocketbook, comes from the fact
that the Bible is the most respected
of all books. and as thieves respect
a well filled pocketbook above all
things they designate it as a "Bi-
ble." So = is with most of the
words.
American thieves are constantly
inventing new slang terms and
abandoning old expressions. Many
cant words have been adopted as
good English. They often have a
pat quality that appeals to the mind
and by constant usage are coined
into the language of the realm
