The Word yankee"

The origin of this word has been va
riously explained Some authorities
think it is corruption of the word
English, as pronounced by our aborig-
inals, who called it "Yenghies, Yam
ghies, Yankees" 1t seems first to have
been applied by British soldiers, about
1875, as term of reproach to the New
England ers, who afterward adopted it
themselves. Others hold that Yankee
is corruption of Jankin diminutive of
John, nickname given to the English
colonistS of Connecticut by the Dutch
settlers OF New York. Yankee is also
said to have been In use as early as
1713, meaning very good" II is sup
posed to have been used by the stu
dents of Cambridge. Mass BY and by
it was used throughout New England
and applied to the settlers there
Yankee Doodle" was originally
"Nankee Doodle" and was applied to
Oliver Cromwell in this well known
verse:
Nankee Doodle came to town upon a
little pony,
Stuck feather in his hat and called il
macaFoni.
The air was known in England be-
fore the revolution. A story is told of
how, after the battle Of Lexington the
brigade under Lord Percy marched out
of Boston playing ii in derisiOn of the
popular nickname of the colonists, the
latter afterward adopting the nick
name, saying the British had been made
to dance TO the tune OF Yankee
Doodle"

WAS born at the United States mint
in the city OF Philadelphia in the
year 1902. | had thousands of
brothers who came into being at the
same time-all of them looking so
much alike that you would take any
two of us to be twins. | felt very
proud OF myself as I lay upon the top
OF a heap of shining pennies, but be-
fore long found myself being
wrapped up with a number OF my
brothers in neat little roll.
could talk only to the penny on
each side OF me, and it was dark and
sad in that cold silent vault in which
we were placed. Yet after many days
j felt myself being taken out, and i
began to realize that / was about to
make my first journey as a traveller.
The penny on my right regretted so
much that we didn't have nice little
window to look out of, for you can
imagine how disagreeable a railway
trip in boxcar with sealed doors
would be. We rode for a long time,
but at last we reached our journeys
end where we were unwrapped. was
very glad of it, for was sure that the
feathers on my Indian head were all
out of shape Again looked out on
the beautiful sunlight, and the room l
was in reminded me of my birthplace
the mint.
Near me was a large bright yellow
coin who, L thought, could tell me
where / was.
Please, sir" ! asked, is this
mint?''
mo, silly" he replied, eontemptu-
ously. this is a bank"
And please, sir ] ventured again,
''are you a full grown penny?'
"a fun grown penny'?" he repeated,
with sarcasm in his cold metallic voice.
.I'm a double eagle. and am worth
1000 of such as YOU"
Then began to realize how dread
fully small it was to be a penny.
Yet my adventures had just begun.
Before long / found my way into the
pay envelope Of a big factory, where
the whirring of wheels almost made
me deaf. A man with big grimy hands
took me out and showed me in his
pocket I didn't know before that a
man carried such a curiosity shop
around with him. Perhaps if i had
been a lady and had had a husband |
might have known something more
about the contents of mems pockets.
Soon he was at home and / heard a
child's voice asking for penny for
Sunday school. Near me in the pocket
was another penny, by no means so
bright as I. So i inquired of him what
a Sunday school was.
Why" he said, somewhat surprised,
haven't you ever been to church?'
NO" I replied, feeling a tinge of
shame at my inexperience, I'm very
young as yet"
$50 IN t. he answered, but I've
been in the collection plate five times
already"
There was another coin on the other
side of me, white and small. who said
he was a dime. He had been to church
several times also, but hadn't been put
in the plate quite so often.
After going to church ] revisited the
bank; next / went to store; but one
morning a little boy came in and
bought a stick of candy and ! was

Before long Jimmie and his friend

Jimmie and 1 were in the water l

to school, and l think Jimmie was, too.

long, however, in the course of Jimmie's

slot I went.

Tho .sWide influence
Of the Saloon Keepers Z
Ea;+or Islander:

Editor Islander:
viii YOU kindly allow q citizen
and tax payer, and incidentally one
who voted dry at the recent cleo
ton who is friend Of Ray Mad
den ) little space in which to ex-
press the opinion that it is little
short of an insult to the successful
candidate for County Auditor and
to i large number of the oldest, best
known and most reputable citiz ems
of the county, to charge, as Mr.. Q.
G. Wall has done, that Mr.. Mad
denis success in the recent primary,
should be attributed to the wide
influence" of the saloon keeper"
and their imaginary antipathy to
the defeated candidate, who says
they had a "real grievance against
him. What is that grievance?
During the campaign preceding the
local option election, although he is
said to have done some work as
| a member of ''secret committee, =
the paper which he established and
long edited and to which he is be-
lieved by many to still be the ablest
contributor, did not contain a single
editorial in aid of the temperance
cause. Wherefore that grievance?
And how about the wide inf1u-
ence'' of the saloon keepers" in
the precincts which gave majorities
to Mr.. Madden? His standing in
his home precinct, where he was
born and has spent all his life, is
very plainly shown by the 70 votes
cast in his favor, as compared with
only two cast for his opponent. Is
this result to be attributed to the
wide influence of the saloon
keepers?
/ Note the contrast: In Mr.. Wallis
home precinct, where he has spent
the entire period of his legal resi-
dence in this county, his standing is
quite conspicuously shown by his
vote of 81, as compared with 1876
cast for his young opponent just
| q to one.
| And was this big vote against Mr..
Wall "whiskey" vote2 Let us see.
| A little less than two-thirds of the
votes in this precinct are cast with
in the town of Friday Harbor. At
the local option election 81 dry"
votes were cast and only 36 wet !,
approximately "a to one. Does this
look like "whiskey influence?
j And how about East Sound, one
Of the stongest temperance COM
munities in the county and where
Mr.. Wall was generally presumed to
be particularly strong? Was the
'whiskey influence" there response
BILE for the majority for Mr.. Mad
den, a young man Of the most ex-
emplary habits, who has never been
identified in the remotest way with
the liquor traffic?
| To one who believes in fair play
and admires a good loser, it appears
that Mr.. Madden's strength was
greatest in the precincts where he
is best known, and that Mr.. Wall,
with the single exception of Roche
Harbor, where it is evident that he
has friend at court, ran best where
he is not so well known.
| MIR. Wallis reference to his "com-
petitor whose success / do not envy"
smacks very strongly of unripened
grapes.
/ Yours for fair play and justice,
