Origin of dope"

THERE is probably not one man in
ten thousand who lets the word
dope" fall so trippingly from his tongue
who knows the origin of that slangy
but useful term. Though originally APP
piled only to the drug of the opium
smoking fend. in almost every calling it
has come TO mean the essential factor
or material essence OF anything done or
said as well as the influencing cause
whereby one achieves success over an
other
What is your dope on that story?''
asks the city editor of a reporter, just
in from gathering news, meaning To ask
what are the live facts discovered
What dope did you use on the court?"
asks one lawyer of a brother in law
who has Just had a decision rendered IN
his favor, meaning What vital argu-
ments or influence did you use?"
THE word is of Chinese origin. and a
vicious one at that" said an old resident
of San Francisco to Star man. Years
ago San Francisco was full of opium
smoking joints run by orientals from
China These were patronized by many
Of the depraved white men OF the city.
Now. Chinese is a monosyllabic Ian
guage: that Is. there is no word with
more than one syllable. Accordingly
when a Chinaman learns English he H.
prone TO pick out the emphasized syllable
of a word and let the rest OF it so by
the board.
When a white man would enter one
of the opium joints the Chinese propri-
etor would step III and ask. You want
ope? the word 'ope' being the Chinese
pronunciation Of the English word Opt
um. formed by emphasizing the first
syllable and abandoning the rest of the
word. This was understood by the
would-be opium smoker as dope owing
to the liquid running together OF the two
words, want and opium. Accordingly
the little pill that brought the funny
dreams was spoken OF by the initiated
as dope AS a confirmed opium smoker
was utterly useless without his Whit

TortoiseS and TroIIeyS.

tSTF the automobile threatens to nnsks
the horse obsolete. the trolley car OF
the suburbs threatens just as certain
end for the tortoise" remarked the con.
ductor of suburban line the other day.
"Oh. no. I do not mean in the way OF
competition. though discontinued com.
muters like to tell us that the tortoise Is
way ahead of us in the matter OF speed.
But the trolley lines are killing OF these
relics of a long ago era at a rate that
means extinction for the creature within
the next generation.
You see the tortoise is a great trav-
eler. When he reaches an obstruction in
his path his first thought is to dig
subway under il and pass that way. And
so, when he strikes the trolley tracks
which are for the most part ballasted
with loose stone. he leisurely proceeds to
make his way under the iron rail. This
is generally a matter of some hours fol-
he is never in a hurry.
Just about the time he gets well under
the rail, along whizzes a car. The front
trucks smash the rail down upon the
unfortunate beast, or reptile, rather
crack his beautiful tortoise-shell back for
him and whirl off in a cloud of dust,
leaving him to die a. lingering death. The
counted seven tortoises that had beer
killed within the twenty-four hours along
a single mile reach of track"
