ORIGIN OF F00LscAP PAPER.
Emblem First Made Use OF by crom-
we'll to Show HIs Contempt for
All Things Royal.

Everyone who has handled paper rec
ognizes foolscap as q sheet Is BY 16
inches. This Is used as q standard
size ali the world over, officially and
commercially. It will therefore be In.
teresting to know where and how this
word originated. After the execution
of Charles I. Cromwell and his star,
in organizing the commonwealth. made
all possible effort to remove every
thing which had anything to do with
the old monarchy. The paper In off,
ciai use up to the time had as q water
mark the kings crown; and, when
Cromwell was asked what should be
put In the place of the crown, to show
his overwhelming dislike for anything
concerning royalty, he directed q FOOLS
cap tc be put in place Of the crown.
This was done, and when Charles H.
ascended the throne Of England, 1t was
at first forgotten to replace the cap by
something else. and then, too late. the
king was afraid to do anything to re-
call things dangerous to touch. and SO
1t was neglected and the fools cap
may be seen as a water-mark on near
ly all British official papers.

His Drink Cure.

A certain indianapolis lawyer.
who has good practice now, quit
drinking whiskey and beer and
other intoxicants, too, for that
matter, two or three years ago,
and lie didn't take the Kelley cure,
either. A German saloonkeeper
of whom the lawyer bought most
of his liquor, administered the
cure, and it has been effective.
For several years the lawyer had
been buying nearly all of his
drinks at this particular saloon. He
paid his bill here the same as he
did his grocery bills. Finally the
old saloonkeeper bought house
and lot, and he employed another
lawyer who never bought drinks
to prepare the abstract and the
deed and transact other business in
connection with the deal. The
lawyer who had been the reg gular
customer heard about it. He was
filled with rage, and went at once
to demand an explanation.
"Here," he yelled as he leaned
over the bar and pointed an accus-
ing finger at the old German. II
buy all my drinks here. l have
bought my drinks here for years.
l have spent hundreds of dollars in
this place. And then the very
minute you have some work for q
lawyer to do you 90 and employ
some one else. That's what you
do. You go and, and''--
"Vell," interrupted the old Ger
man in the midst of the harangue
of accusation. .'When l got bust
ness, l want it done by a sober
lawyer"
| The offending lawyer turned and
walked out, and bis friends say b.
has never drunk anything stronger
than coffee since.

Heart Failure

Of the many deaths from heart
failure very few realize in advance
the seriousness of their condition.
When the heart shows a weakness,
such as palpitation, short breath,
pain in chest and in side, it needs
attention just as much as other
organs do when they fail to do their
work we'll. For any condition of
heart trouble you can rely on
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy.
1t will strengthen and regulate the
heart action, and enable it to over
come the strain upon it's weakened
condition.

A number of eminent gentlemen,
representatives of the great brew
ing interests of the country. who
were coDgregated at Atlantic City
for several days last week holding
their annual meeting passed out
the information that the prohibi-
sion wave was on the decline, and
that a tidal wave Of booze was 60
ing to sweep the country right of,
if not sooner. Since our brewer
friends admit it to themselves, we
suppose it must be so, and all ad-
vocates of prohibition, local option
and what not intended to restrain
the sale of booze had better seek
high ground before they are
swamped entirely. We have an
idea, however, that before the
above statement was handed ont
our brewer friends had a view of
the statistics on the beer business
for the year ending with April
1909, which shows that there has
been a decline of 2, $50, 900 barrels,
over the preceding year. This
makes US think the brewers are
simply whistllng to keep their
courage up as they are approach
ing the graveyard.
