THE WORD FELLOW"
Its Course From the Universities Into
Everyday Life.

Its Course From the Universities Into
Everyday Life.
The word bachelor means originally
Cowboy" a youth who looked after
the COW, from the low Latin bacca
and through the classical Latin vacca.
In course Of time the term was Civ
en- in scorn to voluntarily unwedded
men by ladies who had sharp tongues.
The word was taken over by the uni
versities in the middle ages, and the
degree of bachelor was not supposed
to be given to any man who had en-
tered into the state Of matrimony.
The word fellow" has had a some
what similar fate as far as the ladies'
and the universities were concerned
The universities Of Oxford and Cam
bridge, to name but two grant fellow
ships worth from $500 to $1,000 per
annum at the various colleges to un-
married honor graduates of high dis
tinction. If a fellow should enter
into matrimony he still loses or for
feits bis fellowship As the fellows"
were generally men of apparent opu-
lence or at least comfort in regard to
living and dress. they readily attracted
the attention Of ladies who were think
ing Of settling down in life When
an acquaintanceship was formed be-
tween a fellow" and a marriageble
lady things usually went very delight
fully until the fair schemer discovered
the academic status of the man Then
the expression Pooh. he is a fellow"
came very naturally to her lips And
so it crept into secular or lay life and
begat it's unkind meaning But of
course. if the graduate was willing to
sacrifice his fellowship and its emolu.
ments for the sake of the fair lady's
lovely eyes and favors-why. he be-
came good fellow" which is a horse
of a totally different color.-New York

A BASHFUL LOVER.
The Professor Was Shy Wooer, but
Finally Got the Lady.

The Professor Was 8 Shy Wooer, but
Finally Got the Lady.
Dr. Haldane, at one time professor
of ST. Andrews university, was very
shy man. This latter failing prevented
him from asking any lady to become
his wife until be was well advanced
an life.
However, he plucked up courage one
day, redecorated his house and went
to call on the object Of his affections.
The lady, seeing the Doctors embar-
rassment, opened fire. "Weel. doctor
hae We got through a. your papering
anu painting yet? I'm told your new
carpets are just beautiful. They say
the pattern O. the dining room chairs
Is Just quite out O the way, In short
that everything aboot the house Is just

Here was a providential opening he
was not such a goose as to overlook.
He advanced his chair. sided toward
her. simpering the while, raised his
eyes furtively to her face and said,
with a gentle infection Of his voice
(which no ear but a willfully deaf one

imperturbable spinster.
Utterly thrown on his beam ends by
her willful blindness to his meaning

Jack Harmon Made Rich
Find on Clearwater.
GROUPINGS PAN FOR $500 FEET
Report 1t VIII Be Sensation
When Facts Known.

Newsome, July 29- Word reached
here yesterday Of a big, rich strike
Jack Harmon has made on his aims,
near the south fork of the Clearwater
river. According to reports. it will
create a big sensation in mining circles
when the facts are known. The ledge
is said to be the biggest surface crop
pings in the district, and Coon" Smith
panned gold from the Groupings at diff
ferent points for a distance Of $500
feet. 1t is not known here just how
much development work has been done,
but Harmon has been working on the
property for about year
The property where the new strike
was made is a close neighbor to the
Anaconda and the Georgia mines, owned
By tie Smith boys, and al the proper
ties are near the new South Fork trail.

Much Speculation as to Who is

Jim Hill Also is Looking Into
New Route.

What big railway company is back
of the engineering crews that are now
surveying along the Salmon river, and
is there one or are there two or more
companies interested? This is the ques-
ton discussed most in railway circles in
Idaho. At times reports have made it
that the Chicago-Northwestern is TAX
ing the Salmon route, then again it is
the Union Pacific, then the Burlington,
and Of late there has been q sprightly
rumor that jim Hill is swinging to the

endeavor to gain the longest water
grade line to the coast, thus recouping
for himself for territory divided with
the new Milwaukee.
Elk City is not close enough to Sal

Of incorporation have been flied, for its
people to learn frst-hand what is taking
place. What information has been

GO Deep and Values
Sure Be Found.
CASE UNDERSTANDING COUNTRY
Opinion by r. Kemp Welch OF
Philadelphia.

R. Kemp Welch says the Elk City
mining district offers more opportunities
and better chances for success to min
ing engineers of the present day than
any other gold mining region he knows
Of, and he has been in many mining dis
tricts.
"There is plenty of hard work here,
but ! can see an early reward for it, -
said Mr. Welch. "This is a wonderful
country" he continued "A mining
engineer should not get frightened at
the work that has already been done
here. There has been mismanagement
. in a number Of the best prospects. The
values here are at great depth, perhaps
two and three, and may be five hundred
feet below the creek levels. This shale
formation is proof there has been a
serious shaking up Of the earth's crust
at this point You will have to get
down into the granite to find perma-
nency."
Mr. Welch referred to the mineral
zone that has been traced from a point
in the -Four Mile district to a consider
able distance east Of Elk CITY. 1t is
his idea that the Deadwood mountain
mines are in that zone, and, coming
nearer Elk City, the zone lies equal dist
tant between the Buster and the Hope
mines. This zone, Mr. Welch says, has
the richest groupings Of any he has eyel
seen.

 The Conference Committee is now near the end of it's task. and it's report is expected to be com pleted in the last part of this week. How long it vii! take the senate and the house to pass finally upon the work of the con- ference committee and what will be the ultimate fate of the meas ure as a whole is the subjectof varying conjecture but the gen eral impression in quarters usual ly informed is that the report of the committee will be adopted by both houses and will reach the hands of the president next week.
