The Starkville news. (Starkville, Miss.) 1902-1960, 1909-10-22

Georgia has gone one step a.
head of her sister States and we
lift our hat to her. She has
made it distinct crime for man
or woman to slander the good
name of any woman. 1t is one
of the most common of crimes.
and one of the meanest. Men on
street corners will say mean
things about a woman. The
crowd usually know that it is a
lie, but when it is repeated a few
times there is a stain on the wO-
mans name. In Georgia that
street liar can be punished and
disgraced. Women in little
groups will listen to a black ton
gued woman lie about her eDe-
mics, or even her pretended
friend. They know she is lying,
but too many of them will repeat
what she says with semi-endorse-
ment. In Georgia that woman
can be indicted and disgraced
and punished. Slander is .
foul and vicious crime and is a.
gainst the law of the land, but
it is a difficult law to enforce
Some of the worst slanderers
are perfect gentlemen" on '.per-
feet ladies' received in good So
ciety, though known to be what
they. .are. .-Boonville Plaindealer

The room became dim and full of shadows
The 1nCandesCent wire of the electric lamp
showed a rich purple. Astro took up the in
strument, placed it in front of Miss Mavericks
eyes and stared through the aperture.
Come here, Valeska!'
He handed her the opthalmoscope, adjusted
it. and bade her look. Valeska gazed into the
retina of Besse's eye. At first she could dis
tinguish nothing. Slowly she perceived the
warm pink black of the eye, and in the center
ruddy spot. 1t was the optic disk-shaped
like an angels wings! She dropped the instru-
ment and clasped Bessie in her arms

NoP Bessie jumped up, staring. For
moment she stood silent then she grasped
Astro's hand.

Then you'll marry him, now you know that

Bessie drew herself up. "Of course!' she
said. Wouldn't your"
It's too much for me, said Astro.
That" said Valeska, is because you are

laughed through her tears Historically. What

DO you really want my advice?" Valeska
asked.
Bessie snuggled closer to her friend.
Il have a friend" Valeska said slowly, " a
man whom | know you can trust. He is the
wisest person in the world, it seems to me. He
has been my friend long time. He saved me
from what was worse than death.

A STRO looked up in surprise when he saw
the two girls enter the studio. A secret
glance from Valeska told him the truth He
nodded, and welcomed the visitor.
I've told her everything" said Valeska.
"She can be trusted. You will take my word
for it, know. And she's ready for the opthal-
moscope test"
"Is it really proof" Bessie asked timidly.
"My dear girl" said Astro. If your optic
disk shows itself to be the ordinary circle, moth
ing whatever will be proved, and the chances
are equal as between you and Willie. If, on

to one that you are descended from him: that
you are. in fact, his daughter. Now, Valeska,

Two men who share the same small tent or
whose hunks are side by side in the barrack
room are called 'bunkies." This ancient term
originated in the days of the very old army
when the hunks were built for two" and two
men slept side by side on a mattress filled with
straw and one blanket apiece. Much different
from to-day, when each man has his hair mat
tress, pillow, Sheets and blankets! A bunky"
always has a chew, or filling for pipe for his
mate, when he might tell another man that he
has not enough weed to put under your nail"
All fines received from court are called
blind" so that man who received ten days
IN the guardhouse and a fine of five dollars

IN the mill and five blind
"A dog robber" is man who for the sake of
extra money paid him by officer takes care
of his horse his tent when in the field and his
furnace and lawn when in garrison This term
was no doubt given by some smart one who
thought the soldier in working about the Of
fcer's quarters received many titbit from
the table and thus robbed the dog. The term
usually used is a striker"
The commanding officer of a company or
the post is always the old man." If he is not
liked, other terms. not parlor talk, are used.
All field musicians are called wind jam
mers," account of their jamming of wind

Every man on the completion of his term of
enlistment is given discharge. At the bot
tom OF his paper, IN olden times, was space
in which the character borne by the man
during his term of enlistment was written. If
his service had been bad, this part of the dis
charge cut off and it was called "a bob
tail" In speaking of the length of time man
has to serve before he has completed his term
of enlistment, the term butt " means less
than year. So to say he has year and a
little less than two years he would say "a year
and butt"
There are a number of men in the ranks who
ave their money and lend it to others. The
rate is very high. If man borrows two dol
lars he must pay four at payday. This is
called "cent per cent" The term lone more
shingle on the White House" means that the
has completed one more tour of guard
duty consisting of twenty-four hours.
Many of these terms quoted of very old
origin; so old that if you ask the oldest man
in an organization when he heard it first, he
will probably tell you, "Oh, it was used when
l took my first blanket"
