An Enjoyable Concert.

The concert given at the court house,
by Messrs. John J. Bergen, tenor, and
Ernest McGilI, pianoist, under the
auspices of the Elks Club, was a rare
musical treat for all who were so fortu-

that return date will be made for
these young men, when large audience

Slanq of the Armv.

In the army there are expressions
peculiar to itself. Heard for the first
time by outsiders, they need interpre-
tation, Among the most common are
hike" for ''r,arch,' 'striker' for a
soldier serving as bodyseryant or house
man for an officer, &c. o. for 'com-
manding officer" and 20. D." for ."of-
flcer of the day" hop" and ..hoproom"
for dance" and dancing ROOM"
"citz clothes" for civilian dress"
''commissaries" for groceries, "cof-
fee cooler" for an officer who is al
ways looking for an easy job in some
staff position, found" when an officer
fails to pass his examinations and
''shavetail' for youngster just out Of
West Point. Among the soldiers the
expressions have multiplied until quite
vocabulary of strange words has
been established. "Bobtail. is a dis
honorable discharge. Orderly bucker"
is soldier who, when going on guard
duty, strives by extra neatness of ap-
pearance to be appointed orderly to
one Of the officers. DOG robber' is
the soldiers contemptuous expression
for STRIKER. "-Leslie's Weekly.

To Move the Road.

There appear to have been in the
Old Dominion during early colonial
days great number of dogs of mon
grel breed, the chief use of which was
to destroy the smaller kind of animals
running wild in the woods and fields
How valuable they were considered to
be by their owners is shown in a case
which occurred in Northampton coun-
ty about 1891 and is recorded by P. A.
Bruce in fThe Social Life Of Virginia
In the Seventeenth Century,
A complaint was lodged in the coun-
ty court against Mike Dixon on the
ground that he permitted his dogs to
rush out and bark at persons passing
along the highway, which was situated
Immediately in front of his door.
Instead Of proposing to kill or re-
strain the dogs, Dixon simply petition
ed the court to have the public road
removed some distance back from his
dwelling house, because 1t was nee
essary," he declared, ito keep dogs
for the preservation of creatures from
vermin."
The creatures" he referred to were
poultry and young pigs, and the "yer-
min were wolves, foxes, minks, pole
eats and the like.
1t is not stated whether or not his Pc
tition was granted.

A Peer and III. Patent.

After it is once issued the patent for

be altered. Otherwise Lord. Glerawly
would be written Lord GIenawley, as
Glerawly was written by a clerk in
mistake for this word. Another In
teresting; case of similar nature is
that Of Charles Pawlet, afterwart
third Duke of Bolton, who died in
1854. In 1717, while his father, the
second duke, was still alive, Pawlet
was made peer as Lord PawIet of
Basing, although the intention Of the
king and his advisers was to summon
him to the house of lords under one OF
his fathers Junior titles that of Baron
st. John of Basing. However, the
writ Of summons had been made out
to Lord Pawlet of Basing, and Pawlet
bore this title until he became Duke of
Bolton in. 1722-Westminster Gazette.

Never pick your teeth with any hard
substance. Bar the pick unless 1t is
made of soft white pine. Repeated use
of hard pick drives the gums away
from the teeth, and pretty soon you
are victim of Riggs disease. After
the meal pick your teeth gently, then
rinse out your buccal cavity with an
antiseptic solution of tepid water. Aft
er rinsing use gargle to clean out the
throat--a solution of salt in water
Wash off your tongue as far back as
you can reach and scrape the root Of

above all, never put anything into your
mouth that does not agree perfectly
with your stomach, If it is expected to
