have special term of criminal court

20, and as there were large number

the June term were those. of Arthur
Davis, who shot and killed Clarence
C. Gist, at Carlisle, on the night Of
May %, James W. Callahan, charged
with the murder of Sims M. Gilmore,
at Jonesville, and Will Beatty who shot
and killed Frank Rice at Sedalia. 1t

that he did not definitely decided, but
as most of the judges will be busy this

American Slang in Rome.

The universal spread of American
slang is amazing, and the globe trot.
ter meets with It in the most une1-1
pected places. Last October two
Americans wandering about the Plaz.
"a d'Espagna, in Rome, were accost.l
ed by one of the innumerable small
boys who sell postal card pictures of
the Holy City. He held ont sheaf
of postal cards and offered them for
sale, stating the price in italian. The
Americans did not care to buy, and,
like his guilt the continent over, he
followed them, and became a bit Of
nuisance. But he was such a merry
eyed little chap they had not tho
heart to speak harshly to him. At last
however they felt obliged to say mo-
rather decidedly. It was then that
he surprised them and gave them a
queer little pull ct their Americans
heartstrings by saying, his black eyes
swapping with fun and the magnitude
of the achievement "SAeedo! SkeA
do Twanty-thr-r-r-ree!" Then he
vanished with burst OF laughter
