Shot A Cow.

An Italian resident OF the Bristol
mine took II into his head to shoot
COW belonging to John Broman and as
result he is $50 poorer but consider
ably wiser.
The COW had been considerable OF
a bother to the said Italian. To Offset
this the Italians gun had been consid-
erable of bother 10 the community.
The COW had a habit of not discrimin-
atinV between the commons and the
priyate lots OF the residents. The
Italians gun had the habit OF not dis
eliminating between the different
specie of the feathered family all birds
looked alike and tasted alike to MIN.
In addition the said gun was known tc
have been biought into play on severa
and diverse occasions against CANNES
and other quadrupeds.
The shot which was taken at the COW
broke her leg and Mr.. Broman request
ed the Italian 10 pay for the COW an'
take her or he would call the law 4

laughed at him and told him TO 60 ge

The gipsies. interest in whom is re-
vived by the appearance Of the first is.
sue OF the revived Gypsy Lore society,
has passed under variety Of names.
arising either from their supposed
original country or the calling and
characteristic Of the race. The Old
English Egyptian, the Spanish Gitana
and the Magyar Pharas nepek (Pha.
raoh's people, all point to an Egyptian
origin; the Scandinavian Tatare iden.
titles them with the Monaghan hordes
which terrorized early Europe, while
the French Bohemian suggests yet an.
other country as their cradle. AS to
the names bestowed by their sup
posed character, the Arab boldly calls
them Harami Ia villain, the Dutch
man Heydens, or heathens, and the
Persian takes his name from their
complexion. and dubs them Karachi.
or swarthy. A charter OF William
the Lion, as early as the twelfth cen
fury, mentions their Scotch name of
Thinkers, which is commonly supposed
to be a corruption Of tinker. although
possibly the substitution Of "t' for
~" has produced this form Of the ltal-
ian Zingaro, one of the most wide

found the skull of mascalonge with

teeth were locked in the bone, show.
ing that the strong, powerful bird had
been attacked during time when its
head was under water. and possibly
in the fierce battle that must have en-.
sued each combatant drowned the
other. The fish was supposed to have
been about 20 pounds in weight. An
other case on record is that of FIVE
pound fish being found dead, appar-
emily choked by the partly swallowed
body Of another fish Of three pounds.
So voracious is the mascalonge that 1t
will devour any living thing that
comes within its vision. Full-grown
bullfrogs, good sized ducklings, small
aquatic birds. as well as many water
mammals, become an easy prey to its
yawning sepulcher Of a mouth.-Met-

Names of Newspapers.

Is It a loose application of language
to apply the word journal to pub
LEGATION issued every week or month
Probably not, since the idea of the
word seems to have been that the
news sheet was diary, record Of
day-by-day events, rather than that 1t
appeared daily itself. The very first
regular newspaper, indeed, is consid.
cred to have been the Grandfather
Journal, which appeared in 1915 as a
weekly publication. II newspapers
were compelled to adhere with literal
accuracy to their titles all "gazettes
would sell for one cent, since that is
what gazette" originally signifled,

century, the parent Of all the ga
xettes," took its name from coin Of

FRANK 3. HOWE. Editor and Publisher
Loss Probably Overrated

The following statement of the
Montpelier Journal has been widely
reprinted and commented upon:
Granting that there are $500 az.
fected by the strike in Washington
county and that each man received
an average OF $3.50 a day the cost
In 80 days, six weeks of working
manufacturers loss is still harder to
estimate because some of the orders
that have been thrown down on ac.
count of the strike may be received
later and many orders have already
been placed elsewhere but the loss
VIII go into the hundred thousands at
any rate and II Is doubtful II the
total loss to everybody concerned In
the strike could be figured within a
million dollars"
Most OF the newspapers that have
discussed this matter have called at.
tention to the alleged great loss in
dieated and some have gone so far as
TO demand compulsory arbitration to
prevent such waste.
Frankly, We dc not believe that the
strike cost Washington county onS-
tenth part of a million dollars and we
doubt II 1t cost twentieth of that
sum. The Journal makes the mis-
take Of figuring the strike as a cut
ting out of six weeks of normal bust.
ness which 1t was not.
When the strike started granite
business was very light for this sea-
son of the year. Many of the manu-
facturers were glad of an opportunity
to shut down for time. Practical
~ all orders coming in could be held
until settlement was reached.
Granite sheds in other places were
not running so as 10 take away bust
ness. Repairs could be made to bet
ter advantage and plans for the future
could be perfected.
On the side of the men vacation
did no harm. Work at the granite
trades. whether cutting, guarrying,
tool, sharpening or Jumping and box
ing, is so hard that few men can
stand it to work all the year. Know
ing that the agreement with the manu-
facturers expired March l and that
there might be delay in making a
new agreement hundreds of the men
planned 10 take vacation then in
stead of at some other time. Scores
of them at such times take the OPP
portunity to visit their old home in
Scotland or Italy or IN more or less
distant parts of this country.
Taking the period from Jan /,
1908 to Jan /, 1910 we do not believe
that there will be any considerable
decrease in the amount of business
done by the manufacturers or the
amount of wages earned by their en-
ployes because of the six weeks shut
