but conspicuous among them in grip

entitled "An Anarchist of the Big Tim

lates the lone fight of a backwoodsman,
who believed he was being outraged in

SNAKE TAKER is
FREED BY EDITOR

sHIPPENsBURG, Pa. Nov. T.
Hezekiah Patterson of Glen Furney,
while picking blackberries walked into
den of large rattlesnakes, and, with
the assistance of Henry Thomas, killed
four of the fifteen seen, one having
ten rattlers.
In order to fulfil a promise made
three years ago to show his prowess
by carrying a live snake into the edi-
torial room OF the Waynesboro Zephyr
he captured a blacksnake seven feet
long. The joke was turned on Patter-

itself about his forearm and waist, and
the snake taker was obliged to call
upon the editor in order to free him.

FACTS FURNISHED
Less Crime Proportionately in
ireland
Than in Either England or
Scotland.

In a letter to the New York Times, a
correspondent 'Iveragh," thus COM
ments on the cattle driving in Ireland,
and the efforts of certain papers in this
country to magnify the attempt of the
irish people to secure the land for hu-
man habitation into a grave crime :"
Since the opening of the present ses-
sion of the British parliament reports
have been circulated all over the world
that Ireland is in a state Of anarchy
and semi -barbarism. Your article on
Irish Terrorism" is we'll calculated to
mtslead those whose knowledge of
Irish matters is superficial, and who
have neither the time nor the inclina-
tion to follow the subject beyond the
headlines over your London dispatch
AS a matter of fact, Ireland is the most
law-abiding country in the world. The
statistics of crime compiled by the
British government itself prove that
there is less crime proportionately in
Ireland than in either England or Scot
land. The following are the latest fig
ures available:

Narrow immigration Laws.

Catholic societies everywhere are
asked to bestir themselves in reference
to the immigration bills now before
congress. A series of able circulars on
the subject is being sent out by the
National Liberal immigration League,
which has headquarters at $50 Nassau
street, New York. Among the leading
Catholic signatures to the circulars are
those of Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishops
Ryan, Ireland and Quigley, and Bish-
ops Foley, Broderick and Horstmann.
The circulars are also signed by Ed
ward L. Hearn, supreme knight of the
K. of c., John j. Hynes, supreme presi-
dent of the c. NJ. B. A., and number
Of leading men Of other denominations.
Catholic societies everywhere should be
active in this matter. The circulars
ask "tfle friends Of immigration to or
ganize and give expression to public
opinion and show that immigration is
indispensable to the progress of the
United States" There are two bills
before congress now which contain
most narrow and bigoted requirements
for the restriction of immigration. We
ought to see to it that our congressman
kill the narrow and un-American pro-
visions Of these bills. Write your con-
gressman or get your societies to do so.
1t is good work.

ODDITIES OF AMERICAN SPEECH
Some Examples in "Enslish As She Is
Spoke"

Spoke"
What distinction there is in Eng
lish as she is spoke in the different
parts of our land! says The Saturday
Globe, of Utica, n. Y. Those who
travel are quick to detect the nasal
Yankee from the soft, smooth spoken
southerner, the drawing midwest
erner, with his "whay-er' and thay-
er" for where. and there, or the far
westerner, fertile in emphasis and ex-
pletive, but otherwise combining, as
the people do themselves, much of all
sections, and even the Canadian, who
has manner and twang of his own.
In the South they say "you all" and
I'VE all" "this yere" and "that thar"
"Howdy?" and "How cum?" and "right
smaht,' and this among the best peo-
pie. The influence of the negro dia-
lect is marked. Surroundings as to
accent and idiom make all the differ
ence in the world. Evening is the
Southern phrase for afternoon. Soon
in the mornin" in that district of the
country simply means early. IT alloy"
and ''like do" for as do is Southern:
also yearth for earth and yearth-
quake, verb (herb) and yere (here).
Reckon" is both Northern and
Southern, but "calrate" distinctively
Yankee. Shuck is the Yankee form
to hull, as peas or oysters.
The following specimen American
isms are typically Southern: Cinch,
bug; buster, a. handsome child;
blonde" or bald" whiskey, cheap
corn or moonshine stuff: "reverent"
whiskey, good and strong; "barefoot"
tea, without sweetening; "belong-
ings," OF "gentlemen's belongings"
clothing; "by sum-" by sunset:
Chunk" to punch; cymlin, or simlin,
the little squash; chigger, of jigger,
tick; and ticknation, a place full of
ticks; "chickin fixings," a fricassee;
long sweet'nin'," molasses; "short
sweet'nin'," sugar; "long sauce"
beets. carrots and parsnips; "short
sauce" potatoes, turnips, onions
pumpkins: common doin's," ordinary
food; light wood, kindlings.
From the early French pathfinders
of the West we get "coule," a deep
valley; from Louisiana, "crevasse," a
bad break in the levee; "batture," the
backing of the levee; the word "levee"
itself; "banquette,' sidewalk (so-
called in New Orleans); bayou"
creek or stream, and many more.
The following miscellaneous lot are
of the South chiefly, the Southwest
and West.
"Brutus' in Charleston is the same
as '1agniappe" in New Orleans, i. e., a
premium or something thrown in at
purchase.
Bungay in GO to Bungay,' means
the lower regions.
"That beats Buck!" is equivalent to
the Irish "That beat Banagher!'
A "chiv' in California is a South
erner in Democratic politics, and a
pike" a poor Missourian.
'1ll' in Texas means bad. "Is your
dog ill?" i. e., is he vicious.
Hopping John" in the Carolinas is
negro dish of bacon, peas and pep
pers.
