What He Missed.

An actor without funds managed
in some way to get second class
ticket on line of steamers running
between Seattle and San Francisco.
The voyage between these two
points consumed the better part Of
three days, and in view of the fact
that his finances were at low ebb
he solved the question in this way:
The first day out he slept all day to
keep from eating and remained up
all night to keep from sleeping. The
second day he took physical culture
exercises. On the third dav he could
not stand the strain any longer and
went down in the dining room and
ordered the best meal on board the
boat. While eating this meal he
could see in his minds eye picture
of cell in the bastile in San Fran
cisco. After finishing his meal he
said to the waiter, "How much do l
owe you?" "Nothing," replied the
waiter. "Your meals were included
in your ticket"

'OMENs AND M0NA7CHs.
Incidents That Have Attended Certain
Enalish Coronations.

Omens should be regarded seri-
ously by monarchs if there is truth
in the stories of incidents that have
attended the coronations of certain
English kings. The wearing OF
white, for example, on such an occa-
ton is said to have been particular
ly fatal. Alone of all the British
sovereigns Charles l. was robed in
white at his coronation. The chron-
iclers say that this happened purely
by accident. When the i'll fated
prince formally assumed the crown
in 1925 it CHANGED that all the pur-
pie velvet at the time to be found in
London was not sufficient to supply
a robe, and there was no time to
send to Genoa or elsewhere for
more.
Long years before the coronation
of the second of the Stuart kings
misfortunes had been predicted for
a white king of England, and surely
no mans life ever more fully bore
out such prediction. White fol-
lowed the unlucky Charles even to
the grave. After the dethroned
kings execution on that cold Jan
uary day in 1649 as his body was
brought out from St. Georges hall
the snow began to fall, and before
the coffin reached the west end OF
the royal chapel the black velvet
pail was covered with purest white
from frozen flakes.
Unfortunate signs and portents
also attended the coronation OF
James II. The wind was light, yet
the canopy which was held over the
kings head by the Cinque PorI
barons was found to be torn, and
the flag which was run up on the
tower at the moment of coronation
was soon afterward seen hanging In
tatters.
The most portentous omen OF all.
however, attended the coronation OF
George Ill, in whose reign Britain
sustained her greatest disaster-the
loss of the American colonies. 1t Is
curious how this disaster was pre-
symbolized at the coronation. AS
the king was moving across the ao-
bcy floor wearing the crown inc
great diamond fell out and was not
found again without good deal OF

Tn. Unattached Woman.

Nowhere else in the world is the
woman who has chosen the single
life so thoroughly her own mistress.
SO wholly the arbiter of her own
destiny, SO completely at liberty to
create the atmosphere that shall
make for her happiness as in New
York. In Paris she is declasse-an
object of social suspicion, because
she has not openly annexed bread
winner. In London she becomes the
mother by proxy Of her sisters chill
dren or some distant relatives chill
dren. In the lesser cities of the
United States, a writer in Woman
believes, some of the old prejudice
remains against the woman who has
missed or declined matrimony. She
is to degree the superf1uous wom-
an and as such is tolerated or pitied,
but never approved. - New York

Want p.Iieate at All.

A young man not regarded as a
very desirable suitor had called upon
a young lady number of times,
each time to be told by the maid
that ssMiss Florence is not well to-
day."
One day in response to his card
the young lady's mother, who was a
recent accession to the newly rich
ranks and whose education was not
as sure as it might be, appeared and
explained once more to the young
man that the daughter was not well:
81 am very sorry, indeed" said
the young man as he rose to go,
"that your daughter is so delicate"
'Delicate ?" shifted the mother.
"Florence delicate? Not at all:
Why, she is the most indelicate girl
you ever met"

Curious Obligations Attached to Deeds

self IN no more extraordinary form
than in obligations attached to
deeds of property by which some
whim of the seller is forced upon all
future owners.
The Quakers who founded Phila-
delphia sometimes asserted them
selves in this way after death. The
owners of some of the valuable lots
in that city are compelled to build
houses of no more than two stories
upon them. Upon others back
buildings cannot be erected ''lest
Gods air and sunlight be hindered
unduly in their goings."
A plantation in Virginia was left
by George Jordan, a lieutenant colo
mel under Washington, with the pro-
vision that 'every owner thereof
shall hold on Oct. 15 of each year a
religious service in his house, where
prayer shall be offered and sermon
preached in memory of my daughter
Fortune, and this obligation shall
hold good though thousand gem
erations shall pass"
A valuable property in Pennsyl-
vania was bequeathed to church on
condition that the congregation
each year should send rose to the
head of the family who gave it.
Nearly two centuries have passed,
but the rose was given last year to
a descendant of the kindly though
whimsical donor.
1t was not an uncommon act in
England during the middle ages to
leave an estate encumbered with
dole, which was sometimes bestow-
ed in a fantastic way. An heir was
obliged to give flitches of bacon
yearly to the married woman who
never scolded her husband or so
many loaves of bread or stacks of
fagots to poor soldiers.

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

Wv s'evessss0 Sn6 ShD
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 /
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 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 conti-
nent. They were wanderers like the
tinkers, and naturally the two
classes came together. The tinkers
picked up few words of the gypsy
lingo.
The tinkers took to the jargon,
added new words to it, and it be-
came the language in 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
il quite plain when one stops to
study for moment. Now, take the
word "bull," which is used to dis
tinguish 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
eyep was the natural cry.
This was contracted to "bull,"
and the appellation 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 Obi
ble." 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

proving This COuntryS Herds.
The American Royal Live
Stock show, which will be held
at Kansas City October "A to 10.
is, as its name indicates, the
show where the best examples
of high breeding in horses, cat
tie, swine, sheep and goats are
exhibited, and competent Judges
say which of the hundreds of en-
tries are the finest in the United
States. 1t is the place, there
fore, where the stockman may
discover what points the best
stock possesses, and obtain the
information which is necessary
in his business of furnishing
stock which win bring the high
est price on the markets. But
the Royal would be incomplete
if it only showed the stockman
what he ought to have. And so
the sale feature of the Royal is
quite as important as the show
feature. During the progress
of the show auction sales are
held in every department of live
stock, and the stock raiser or
feeder who wants to improve his
herd can secure the animals
which are necessary for him.
This annual distribution of pure
bred and high grade stock at
Royal has been an important
factor in raising the standard of
the stock on American farms.

No Place Like "Old MizzOu.n

j. G. Cobb and wife returned
home last Friday night, having
been at Denver, Colorado, visit
ing Gordon Jones and family for
about three weeks. They spent
part of the time in Grand county,
in camp in the mountain fishing
and hunting, While on this trip
Nh. Cobb went from Kemmer-
ling, the end of the Moffatt road,
by stage to Yampa in Routt
county; thence by livery to the
Dawson ranch on Bear river.
Mr.. Dawson owns about 10000
acres of very fine land. His SON
in-law, Earl Wilkins, has about
100 head of fine mules raised in
this county. They look very
much like Missouri mules. AT
this ranch he was met by ]. S.
and r. j. Carey, owners of the
Yampa Live Stock and Land
Company, and drove to their
ranch some twelve miles down
the river, completing a 100-mile
ride over the mountains in one
day, through one of the finest
undeveloped sections of the coun-
try that he ever rode through.
He predicts a great future fer
that section of the country as
soon as the Motfatt road is com
pleted. The Carey Brothers
have $4,000 cattle, 500 horses, Ill
thoroughbred shorthorn COWS, a
number of which have taken pre-
NUNS at Chicago and Kansas
City fairs, many of which were
bred in the State of Missouri.
He reports finding a great many
Missourians in Colorado. While
on this trip he had the pleasure
of meeting j. H. Crawford, an
old MiSsourian from Pettis coun-
ty, the founder of Steamboat
L.
Springs, and it is very interest
ing to hear him tell of how he
crossed the mountains with his
family and settled at Steam
boat Springs, making the first
entry of land in that county. Mr..

Learning was only dangerous
then. That was many centuries
ago. Ii is fatal now.
herewith tender you just a
few disordered CALCULATIONS on
the American university:
Human wisdom is not confined
beween the boards of books.
You may run through curri
culum as easily as shot through a
tin tube and come forth simpler
than Simon.
There is no formula for making
brains to be had at any shop.
You may take the crook out of
boys back You may patch up
a mis- shaped morality or close up
a bifurcated conscience; but a
run,ish intellect remains runtish
for aye, and a damn fool is there
with the sameness when his feet
turn cold and point to the hrma-
ment.
The idea of getting an educa-
tion at college is one OF those
harmless conceits current among
the mentally small-a pleasing
illusion like that of mermaids at
the bottom of the sea.
Education is not a college pro-
duct.
At college. men who have a
tendency to intellectual expansion
are shown what giants task
they have assumed. They learn
but one thing-the vastness of
ignorance.
Colleges merely grease the
mental machinery, make methods
cal the power of thought, pro-
vded you have any mental ma
chinery.
