it is simply a case Of turning on the

bet if they would arrange the race so
each one started back to run
around the block until they met them
back again and finished at the hotel.
1t was at once agreed upon and the

BILLINGSGATE.
Markets the Natural Abode of Strong
Language Says This
Writer.

London Globe.
The unpublished phraseology, native
though not peculiar to this quarter
of London, has given rise to the pro-
verbal use Of the name Billingsgate.
Gone may term this the Esculine
Gate Of London," says old Fuller.

trices.' The seventeenth century re-
fcrences to the "rhetoric" or OBJ

self is called "billinesgate. Tn
"Vanity Fair" too, Thackeray tells
us how Mr.. Osborne cursed Billings
gate with an emphasis worthy of the
place.
II is curious how markets are the
natural abode of strong language.
Thus the French equivalent for "You
are no better than Billingsgate fish
fag' is-"Your compliments are like
those of the Place Maubert,' the

market.
In the good old days the Billings
gate porters seem to have thoroughly
enjoyed themselves, for one Bagford
writing in 1715 says: "This being to
my mind another ancient custom that
hath been omitted of late years. IT
seems that in former times the por-
ters that Piled at Billingsgate used
clvilly to entreat and desire every
man mat passed that way to salute Il
post that stood there in a vacant place
If he refused to do this they forth
with laid hold of him and by main
force bumped him against the post
but if he quietly submitted to kiss
the same, and paid down sixpence
they gave him Il name, and chose some
one of the gang for his godfather. ]
believe this was done in memory of
some old image that formerly stood
there, perhaps of Belus, or Belin.'
The original portcrs of Billings,
gate belonged to one of the oldest
labor guilds in the country, the Eel
lowship of Porters, and at one time
the carrying work both at Billings,
gate and from the wharves to the
warehouses Of the city within a Ger,
tain radius was entirely performed
by them.

Washington 8 Ghost.

OF Washington and the ghost Of Gen.

Stay on the farm, young man.
Earn your living by the sweat OF your

that it is quoted in this connection

Seven travelling men who, between
them, had covered every state III the

other day, and the consensus OF their
testimony was the sentiment of the
masses all agreed that President
Roosevelt should be q candidate for
reelection. just why they selected
Bloomsburg is Il matter of mystery,
but that is immnItcrial to the story.
One of their number was selected to
write President Roosevelt the result
Of their observations, and he received
the following reply:
White House. March 6. 1907.
Ny Dear Sir: Your favor of the
5th instant has hccn received. and
the president thanks you for writing.
While he appreciates your kindly
sentiment. he has nothing to add to

his election, 1904. Very truly yours.

We can very we'll understand that
President Roosevelt has nothing to

Big Crowds Expected Here
Tomorrow.
Parade A Novelty.
FOrepaugh and Sells Bros. Stand for
Only the Best.

ST. Johnsbury will be increased in
population tomorrow by 1900 people,
500 horses, three herds of elephants and
about 500 other animals In other
words, the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Bros circus will arrive on it's four
special trains from Newport and pitch
its city of tents on the Fair Ground.
The indication is that one of the big
gest crowds that ever gathered here
will be on hand to see the great parade
which will leave the show grounds at
10 o'clock and pass over the usual
route. The parade is full of novelties
so much so as to be an absolute de-
parture from other street displays. The
performance, too, abounds in features
new to America, being made up largely
of European artists.
The spectacle which opens the per-
Torrance cost one million dollars in cos
tunes, scenery and properties Besides
1000 people and 500 horses, over 200
automobiles, carriages, cabs, trolley cars
and other vehicles are used. The entire
arena of the largest tent ever. construct
ed is filled with the solid blocks ofa big
city's business and public buildings.
The site of a great hotel and adjacent
structures in flames and battalion of
professional fremen with complete met
ropolitan fire apparatus, battling with
the fire and rescuing women and child
rem, constitutes the most strikingly
beautiful and exciting spectacle ever
presented.
The performance following it is in
keeping with the fire drama, there being
nothing about it that is not of the
newest and best. The menagerie has
also been given novelty by the intro
duction of a number. of interesting
specimens that have not been seen in
America in the past The afternoon per-
Torrance will begin at 2 o'clock and the
night show at s. All day tomorrow
