The Word "Canvassinov

How "canvassing" got its election
significance is one of the unsolved
puzzles Of etymology. The word ap-
pears originally to have meant tossing
In a canvas or blanket and thence gen
orally mishandling or assaulting. "I'll
canvass thee in thy broad cardinals
hat" is the Duke of Gloucester's
threat to the bishop Of Winchester in
king Henry VI" The next stage of
meaning was that of destructive criti-
cism, from which to thorough discus
sion-"canvassing" snbject-was sim
pie enough. But how exactly did it
arrive at the election sense? Dr.. John
son explained that the term meant
trying votes previously to the deci-
sion" and derived it from canvas, as
1t signifies a sieve" The Oxford Die
ionary, however, is unable to find this
use of the word.

Natural Ace of Man.

The question as to what is the nat
ural age Of man is by no means set
tied, of course, but many are of the
opinion that the Frenchman Flourens
was not far out of the way in his esti-
mate Of the time man should live.
Taking his observations from the
group mammalia, of the class vertebra-
ia, as having the closest resemblance
to man and such species as are per
mitted to live the full term of theii
natural life under circumstances not
admitting of error or doubt, Flourens
found that their natural life extended
to about five times the period of their
lives from birth up to maturity. APP
plying the rule thus obtained to hui
man life and taking the age at which
the body is fully matured to be twen-
ty years, he concluded the natural
duration Of the life of man to be 100
years.-New York American.

, Some years ago there came to an
American city a delightful German.
Herr Won Blitz, who intended to sup
port himself by giving lessons in his
native tongue. When he had been here
several months and had secured a
moderate number of pupils he went
one day to the mother of one of them
and to her great surprise asked for
her daughters hand in marriage.
But, my dear SIR" said she. my
daughter has nc. fortune"
The sutton smiled upon her In an ex-
pansive generosity.
"Me, too" said he reassuringly.
"And, although we are not rich. we
have thus far been able to give her
every comfort She is indeed used to
luxury"
"Me, too" was the smiling rejoinder.
But. Herr Won Blitz. she will never
be able to manage affairs"
>''Me, too" rejoiced the lover.
"And l feel obliged to tell you that
my daughter has very high temper"
"Me tOO-me too"
That was enough. The mother re-
tired from the contest. and the pro-
fessor won his suit.

The Jackson Daily News of April Q

Swain Show:
When the advance brigade of the
w. |. Swain Show commenced to dis
tribute literature and post bills an
nouncing the coming to Jackson of
their attraction, many doubted the as
sertions of some of the posters. The
literature and advertisements claimed
the w. l. Swain Show Company to be
the biggest, best equipped and most
favorably known show of its kind in
America. Also that every play would
be presented and staged as well as
any big show. Their repertoire
would consist of melodramatic and
pastoral comedies, Western thrillers.
farce and musical comedies and class
les. They also emphasized the fact
that, above all, everything would be
moral, refined and clean. The w. I.
Swain Company, individually and col
lectively, have verified all the above
stipulations and promises, and in ad-
dition it is one of the best, cleanest
and most refined shows of its kind
that has ever played in Jackson.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 2.-Before
leaving for Pittsburg Saturday night
President Taft gave out the word that
he is not a politician; at least, not a
judicial politician. He had been asked
what effect the election of democratic
congressman would have on the flu
ture elections this year.
Il am not and never have been
enough of a politician to give judg-
ment on such a matter" said he.
Asked if he thought the complexion
of the House of Representatives
would be changed, he answered:
We'll. we must all take the burdens

But l am not in Buffalo to talk ma
tional issues; l am here to talk local
matters"
Speaking of Governor Hughes,
President Taft said.

man like Hughes makes up his mind
there is no use trying to get him to
change it. When the position on the

General Hudson went to Natchez
Thursday to try the case against the
Southwestern Express and Telephone

there for some time, but owing to the

be in May. Mr.. Hudson assured him
