Orioin of "Blackleo.n

"Blackleg' has become so familiar In
its special labor application that this
Is now more common even than the
use of the word in its original sense.
But labor so far has not shortened
"blackleg'' to leg" as the sporting
world has in speaking of sharpers.
How "blackleg' came by its swindling
significance is Il puzzle which even an
argument before the full court of
queens bench in a libel case failed to
solve. 1t has been traced to the for
mer habit among turf frequenters of
wearing black topboots, but others
have seen an allusion to the legs of
gamecocks. Trades unionism adopted
1t simply as a term Of abuse, like
''scab."-London Chronicle.

whittier city than Cadiz unless 1t were

The Chinese and Grapes.

Did you ever hear how the Chinese
keep grapes fresh? The method is
unique and is simple enough for any
body to try 1t. A circular piece is cut
out of ripe pumpkin, making an
opening just large enough to admit the
hand. The interior is then nicely clean
ed out, the grapes are put in, and the
circular piece is replaced and pressed
in firmly. If the pumpkin be kept
where 1t is cool the grapes will remain
fresh for an almost indefinite period
1t is said that by this method the Chi
nese have them all the year around

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Every citizen who has not read Presi-

gress last Friday should secure a copy
and read it at once. 1t is destined to
rank as the greatest of the messages of A
great president. 1t is splendid synop-
sis of the aims and ambitions of the
Roosevelt administration. 1t is strong
plea TOR honesty, just plain. common,
decent honesty in business and in politics.
1t ought not to require much argument
to show that such honesty is desirable
and yet, strange to say, many news
papers and individuals, particularly in
the vicinity of New York, are holding
up their hands in horror. Business will
be hurt, they say, but in the long run the
business that will be hurt by the prin.
ciples advocated by the President is the
business that ought to be hurt.-Bellows

GOT HIS SHIRTS.
Comical Prank Princeton Student

In 'Princeton-Old and New" by
James w. Alexander is the following
story
THE mode of life was simpler in
those days than now, but the same hu-
NOR which still makes collegians so
comic effervesced in the old days.
When, for example, William Penning-
ton, son Of former governor of New
Jersey and himself afterward speaker
of the national house of representa-
tives, roomed next door to Senior Tu-
tor Topping 1t was the custom for
each man to hang on the outside knob
of his door the bag containing his soil
ed clothes for the laundry.
Pennington stuffed his own skirts
one day in Tutor Topping's bag and
waited for the day when the clean lin
en- was returned and laid out ON Top
pings bed. Then, knowing that two
of the younger tutors were in Top
pings room. Pennington knocked at
his door. On entering he put on an
embarrassed air, as If hesitating to
speak in the presence of the other tu-
tors.
Topping in a lofty way said: These
gentlemen are my friends. l have no
secrets from them. Say what you
wish Pennington still hemmed and
hawed, but, again urged to speak, blurt-
ed out: TT is not my fault Mr.. Top
ping. l did not want to say anything
about it now, but as you insist must
ask you to please return the skirts l
lent you, as l am In need of them
"Topping's rage and horror at being
thus addressed before the younger tu-
tors, who looked up to him as a Mag
nus Apollo, may well be imagined He
began to upbraid Pennington, who in
terrupted him by saying: It's no use,
Mr.. Topping, trying to deny the fact.

your own thingsr The tutor stood
aghast, but Pennington stepped to the
bed and picked out his own shirts,

ST. LOUIS GOLD MINE.
Traces Of the Metal Once Found With
in the City Limits.

in the City Limits.
st. Louis has never been known as q
gold mining center, but there was once
gold mine within the limits of the
city, and, what is more, it yielded gold
which is more than great many gold
mines in the Rockies have done.
In the sixties Of the last century
there was a well dug on a hill just
east Of Carondelet park, and the well
diggers, noticing some bright. spar
king yellow particles in the clay at
the bottom, did a little washing on
their own account and found several
grains of gold in the pan. The news
soon got abroad, and two examiners
from the west who were living in the
neighbOrhoOd quickly got the idea that
there was money to be made in St
Louis gold mining so they sank a shaft
not far from the WELL fully expecting
rich returns from their work. They
did actually find gold. but in quaint
ties SO small that they estimated a
yield of about 10 cents per ton of clay
so they filed up the hole and gave up
the undertaking in that place as bad
job.
But they had all the miners enthu-
siasm. and the fact that they found
gold at all merely stimulated their zeal
to try in another place, so they went
to the side of hill where the Glaize
creek had washed away the earth and
made clay precipice. They dug hole
there. where they also found traces Of
the precious metal. but in no greater
quantities than before. Then they went
up the creek about a quarter of a mile
and sank another shaft. with no better
result. They spent the whole spring
and summer digging holes around in
the neighborhoOd Of the park, but the
only benefit they realized from their
work was the sobriquet two luna
tics" and people laughed at them so
much that beth left and went back
west. where digging holes in the search
for gold was taken more seriously than
in st. Louis.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
