Some years ago It was reported that
a tiger had escaped from a travelling
menagerie at Brecon. In Wales. Man.
gled sheep were said to mark Its
course across country to Llandrindod
Wells, some farmers lost their dogs
and on market days at Builth, Brecon,
Penybont and Llanmarrach the wild
beast was the center of rumor. Coun-
try schools were closed because par
ents feared to let heir children go
along the roads, and bands Of armed
men sought to hunt the tiger down.
This state of terror lasted week,
though no person was found who had
actually seen the tiger, but only people
who had heard that some one else"
and so forth. Then the truth was
hunted down and the origin Of the
whole affair discovered at the remote
hamlet of Eberedw. One night the
schoolmaster there. in Diminishing the
children. playfully had warned them
not to loiter In going home lest tiger
should get them.
The scared children accepted the
warning as real and fastened home
with stories Of a savage beast lurking
behind hedges or growing In ravines
And so the story grew. as stories do
under the culture Of imagination.

been calculated that, assuming the

The Term "copper""

While many police officials believe
that the term copper as applied to
policemen had its origin In the use OF
the copper badges that We're formerly
worn, an authority states that the
word may be traced back to the Nor
mans in the twelfth century and that
It is a corruption Of catch" The
Normans not only applied it to the
catchers Of criminals, but to the i'm
elements used in catching or holding
them. There were hand cops" or
handouts, In the twelfth century,
and the Anglo-Saxons used foot cops.
In the "Yocabulum. or the Rogues'
Lexicon" written by George w. Ma
teel in 1859, COPIED is thus defined:
"Copped-Arrssted. The knuck was
copper to rights, a skin full Of honey
was found in his kicks poke by the
copper when he plucked him. The
pickpocket was arrested. and when
searched by the officer purse full OF
money was found in his pants pocket"
This is the derivation Of copper.
There is an implied compliment in the
sobriquet.-London Saturday Review.
