the frank and turbulent Norseman.
This particular vikings name was
Rollo. OF his early history little
definite. is known. We do know,
however. that he conquered north
ern France, and that in. 912 he
was granted" laccording to the
French history possession of
Rouen and adjacent territory by
Charles the Simple. then king of
France. Thus Rollo became the
first duke of Normandy.
1t seems that in return for the
cession of territory talready con-
luered). Charles the Simple asked
Rollo to kiss his foot. Imagine how
shocked Chrales must have been
when Rollo Numbered:
me Sc BIGDT!" (Not so, by
God!)
And imagine the further shock he
received when the soldier whom
Rollo had ordered to kiss the royal
foot in his stead, lifted the foot to
his lips, instead of bowling to the
foot, thus upsetting the royal per
son and putting the whole Norman
force In an upf0ar.
The story has it that because of
this incident the court nicknamed
Rollo "Bigot"
Usage has reversed the meaning
of the word, and it is now applied
to persons more like Charles than
like the bluff viking Rollo. The
modern usage of the word came in
about the fifteenth century.
There are other stories about the
birth of the word 'bigot," but this
one is the most interesting.

WHOLESALE
HOLDUPS


SPRINGDALE, Wash. Aug. 81
This town is just recovering today
from the shock of wholesale
boldup which began yesterday when
band of burglars attempted to
blow open the vaults of the Mer-
chants bank ended last night when
they left town, after having ran
sacked every business establish
ment in the town. Although the
bank building was wrecked by
heavy blasts of nitro-glycerine, the
steel vault withstood the assault of
the burglars. The latter then robbed
the stores in town and broke open
a sealed car at the station. The
only loot they got away with. it is
believed, was four bottles of liquor
from the local saloon.
