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

>-< Romany Rye.
The origin of the thieves slang
or cant? Well, l guess that's a thing
that's buried in the mists of an
tiquity, as the scholars say. But I
once read up on 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 tinkers.
They were travelling machinists
and did all sorts of repair work.
They were a canny lot--sort of a
labor union--they were the wisest
men in England in their way. 1t
was worth 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 a 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 ''bull," 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 bulls
eye" was the natural cry.
This was contracted to bull"
and the appellation still sticks.
Take the word toy" which thieves
use as the sang term for a watch.
Years ago only the very rich could
afford a 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. an. as thieves respect
a well filled pccketbook above all
things they designate it as a "Bi-
be-" So it 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

WOES OF THE LANDLADY.

"Trouble?' said the landlady.

''But, after all, the chief trouble

PREVENT CRUELTY TO CATTLE
Secretary Wilson, Goes After
Ruthless Railroads
COMPANIES ETiDE TIE STOCK LAWS
FREQUENTLY DUMB ANIMALS
ARE THROWN OUT OF CARS
IN COLD AND WET.
COMPANIES EVADE TIE STOCK LAWS

WASHINGTON d. c.. Feb Go
If the crusade inauguratcd by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson is effect
i've, the railroad engaged in the ship
ment of livestock will be compelled to
handle these dumb creatures in a HUI
name manner and thus keep them in
better physical condition and add to
their value at the point Of destination
Department officials say that it has
been the policy of the railroads to do
all within their power to cause the cat
tie raiserS to become dissatisfied with
the law and cause them to bring pres
sure to effect its repeal or modifica-
ton.
Under the present law it is forbid
den that cattle shall be kept confined in
cars without food, water and rest for
more than 2S hours except that with
the written consent OF the shippers
this period may be extended SO hours
In technically complying with this law,
inspectors of the department have dis
covered that live stock has been
dumped out in the middle of the night
in any and all kinds of weather, into
imprOvised pens, and that this has re-
suited in enormous damage to the
stock. Secretary Wilson has issued
circulars to the cattle carrying roads
that they will be required to unload in
humane manner and in properly
equipped pens within the period re-
Quired by law. This will compel the
roads along whose lines millions of
head Of livestock are shipped annually,
to construct suitable enclosures and
treat cattle with some regard to their
condition and comfort. AS a further
| means of compelling cattlemen to pro-
test against existing laws, the depart
ment says the railroads have under
taken the plan of delaying cattle ship
ments and that this has been done to
the extent that frequently cars are
moved not more than 80 or 40 miles in
an entire day. To prevent this method
of coercion, congress has been asked
to provide a minimum limit Of dis
lance over which cattle trains must
pass during a given period.

DOESN'T LIKE MURDER TALES
But Senator Graves Would Let
Papers Refer to Trials
SENATE ACCEPTS AMENDED BILL
SUNDAY CLOSING LAW TO BE RE
PEAlED IF DAVIS MEASURE
PASSES.
SENATE ACCEPTS AMENDED BILL

OLYMPIA, Feb. 26.-Graves amended
press bill by modifying it in one par
ticular and tightening it in another. He
is willing now to allow newspapers TO
print references. but not accounts of
the execution, burning, lynching or
hanging of criminals.
The details of the crime of murder
are still offensive and he amends his
bill by permitting the papers to pub
lish the full accounts of any other
crime but that, and he still insists
that there shall not be printed the ac-
counts of any murder trials.
Police reporters. under the amended
bill, may print reports. that is the re-
suits of police court trials, but there
must be no details. A further
amendment to the bill is a new sub
division making it unlawful for
newspaper to print details or ac-
counts of the evidence given in the
trial of any divorce action involving
indecent or salaciOus matter. The
senate accepted these amendments.
And the bill went on general file.
Senator Davis amended bill to re
peal the Sunday closing law was re-
ported out from the judiciary commit
tee and placed on general file.
1t provides that saloons, play
houses. games, etc. shall remain
closed between the hours of 1 a. m.
and noon Sunday.
The senate amended GregS's
congressional apportionment bill
and passed it. The measure now
conforms with the provisions of the
Rosenhaupt act taking Island and San
Juan counties out of the First district,
and putting them in the Second, TAX
ing Kitsap out of the First and put
ting it in the Second, and taking
Klickitat out of the Third and put
ting it in the Second. These amend
ments are satisfactory to Gregg and
will be concurred in by the house.
