In these last days of the titanic
political struggle money is badly
needed by the Bryan workers in the
nation to meet the legitimate eX-

HE Mean Trick,

"There certainly are differences In
feelings" said the woman who some
times philosophers, cor at least differ
sat ways Of expressing them.
"a few days ago a shocking incident
occurred in the apartment house where
live. The janitor, who was an un-
usually good looking man, about thir-
ty-fve years old, killed himself fol
some wholly inadequate reason, some
difference with his employer OF
course everybody in the house was
much upset by the tragedy, and l, with
other tenants, went down to the base
ment to see bis wife and offer aid.
"The wife, however, seemed more re-
sentful than grief stricken.

man would do such a mean trickp she

LEGAL WORD SPECIALISTS.
Have to Know Exact Shade of Mean
ina In Words and Phrases.

ing III WOI0o
"Some people seem to think that an
important legal document can be
drawn up by n lawyer in the time 1t
takes his client to smoke cigar" re-
marked a gray haired law clerk the
pther day. ut takes time and the
most scrupulous care to get things
just right If lawyers were not care
full the Lord only knows where the
clients would land.
"Why, ] know q man In one OF the
great law offices who IS a specialist In
the exact shade of meaning of each
word or phrase used in legal docu-
ment. Nothing goes out Of that office
without being submitted first to him
TO pass upon. Sometimes he will give
n week to the study of but one short
but very important paper, theorizlng
rs TO the possibilities Of It's meaning
being construed this way and that.
When he gets through with docu-
ment. however, and has submitted ev-
cry word of 1t to the acid test there Is
practically no chance Of its not being
exactly right, as to It's verbiage at
least. In some cases, too, 1t Is deemed
desirable by clients to becloud the
meaning of contract so that there Is
q loophole for its being construed IN
another way in the event of certain
contingencies occurring. That Is
where the services Of an expert word
1uggler are Indispensable.
"The biggest case that l ever beard
of I'm this line was when one Of the
great corporations wished to issue
some mortgage bonds against Its prop
erty. A long contract had to be drawn,
and the wording on the back OF the
bond had to be decided upon. The
matter was so important that, after
the attorneys themselves had decided
on the forms to be used, 1t was turned
over to two of these experts IN YER
biage.
"They looked up the dictionary
meaning Of practically every WORD
used in the two documents and made
innumerable changes and suggestions
| Before the papers were finished thirty
different drafts Of each Of the two
documents had been made, and there
WAS not a word used In the final form
Of the papers that had not been con
sidered carefully, not only as to It's
Individual meaning, but also as to It's
individual relation to the other words
Of the phrase or sentence containing
It. 1t Is safe to say that these two
documents are never likely to be as
sailed successfully in a court OF law
and that they mean exactly what th'
corporation and its counsel wished
them TO mean.'-New York Press.

SOME WORD ORIGINS.
Hurrah Comes From the Old 8attleerl
of the Vikings.

Hurrah Comes From the Old 8attlecry
Of the Vikings.
Rah. the final syllable Of most col
iege yells, is, Of course, short for hur'
rah. The word hurrah itself comes
from the old battlecry of the ancient
vikings - namely, Tur Ale, which
means God aid. There is another form,
huzza. which comes from hosanna
This was the old cry Of the crusaders
The word yes comes directly through
the Norman-French Oyer, Which means
near. In It's old form it is still
used by beadles and certain municipal
officials in civic functions in England
and also by the royal heralds In pro
claiming the succession of sovereigns
to the throne. No is purely Norman
French and conc from the Latin
non tia, meaning not so. The real
Anglo-Saxon was nay, just as the An
glo-Saxon affirmative was yea. The
word mister IS directly from the Latin
magster, meaning master. Mrs. Is
from the word mistress, and formerly
as late as the eighteenth century, all
unmarried women were given the title
of mistress--as, for example, Mistress
Sophia Western in tom Jones" Es
qulre is derived from the old Norman
French escuyer, which means shield
bearer. Every knight Of the shire haC
bis shield bearer, and the honor Of
carrying the shield was supposed Il
confer gentility npOn the follower. The
word gentleman until the middle of the
seventeenth century meant, as th'
present French word gentilhomme,
nobleman, nothing less, and no mar
was gentleman who was not entitled
TO bear arms."-New York World.

ABOVE THE LAW.
Courts Have No Jurisdiction Over
Foreign Ambassadors.


The chief Of an embassy IS an au-
gust being and one who boasts some
remarkable privileges. 1t may be men
toned TO begin with that in the land
in which he is officiating an ambassa-
dor ranks Immediately after the
princes of the blood royal.
The ground on which an embassy
stands is in theory as well as In prac-
tice the territory Of the nation to
which its principal occupant belongs.
Even if a criminal were harbored IN
an embassy the police could not enter
the premises without permission.
An ambassador is above the law OF
the country TO which he Is accredited.
The courts have no jurisdiction over
him. and. strangely enough, his sub
ordinates and even his domestic sery-
ants are also inviolate. The humblest
emplovee In the embassy If he COM
mitted a punishable offense could not
be arrested without the consent of his
master, nor can an embassy official be
imprisoned for debt.
Ambassadors are to be envied most
Of all perhaps for their freedom from
the burden of taxation. They dis
burse not one penny in taxes, either
directly or indirectly, and, as for the
custom house, it is nonexistent so far
as they are concerned. No duty what
ever is charged in respect Of wines,
cigars, cigarettes, ETC.. that are con-
signed to them.
Again, their excellencies need not
bother about taxes unless they please.
That they do so is purely an act OF
grace on their part. They are not le-
gally exempt from these tantalizine
demands on the purse, but If they de-
clined to meet them there would be nc
means of enforcing payment-CasselIs

The Suns LIGHT.

1t has been calculated that the
amount of light received from the sun
is about 100000 times that of the
moon. The intrinsic brightness Of the
suns disk is about 10000 times that Of
a candle fame, $50 times that Of the

brighter than the brightest spot in the
