but the inquiry of correspondent
who seeks to know what length Of

must be used and generally under

as it were, an undesirable alien in
the realms of our words and becomes
naturalized. Nearly every school bos
knows that herring pond" means
the sea. Most people probably term
it Americanism referring to the At
lantic ocean. The only dictionary
handy duly admits the hypernated
word, described it as slang, and IL
illustrates it with ito be sent across

In course of time it is likely that
special dictionaries containing slang

That "Red Paint Episode.

"Chief Egan ought to be COM
mended for trying to DO his duty"
said Alderman Walsh at TUESDAY
nights meeting of the City Council,
after three letters Of explanation
from .hree policemen. who had act
ually dared to do their duty, were
read.
The three policemen, 1t seems, In
vaded rooming house and arrested
two of three couples. who came to
Cairo from St Louis for the avower
purpose of painting the town red.
From all reports the visitors left
a crimson wake behind them and af-
ter painting all of paintable ma
ture, they proceeded to the rooming
house for a brief rest.
At his juncture the three police
men, who had been Informed OF the
painting incident, hurried to the
rooining house and two OF the
couples We're placed under arrest
From a reliable source of informa-
ton, the third couple were takins
their rest elsewhere when the raid
was conducted.
After reaching police headquarters
10 notice MAGISTRATE was called and
after hearing the evidence of the POI
lsOe, ne assessed fines of ten dollars
The fines and costs were paid.
Complaint was made against the
action of the policemen In daring
to make the arrests and now an in
vestigation is being made. The thrc,
policemen were required to give wrls
ten explanations, so that the citS
council members would be entirely
familiar with the incident, and now
the matter has been referred to the
police, Jail and fire committee. I'm
ISIS II was the intention Of the Cit
Council members to have this com
mittee take some action agains
those who made the original COM
plant, we can. see no reason VIII,
the whole matter was not disposed O
at the meeting.
Chief Egan and his policemen ar
to be commended for their work an
If 1t Is to be hoped that they will cor
tinue to perform their duty.
In the "old days" the policeme
did not know what constituted
breach of the peace. without frs
consulting saloonkeepers hnd pro
prietors of questionable resorts. bu
those days are passed. Cairo, to us
the venacular of the street, siinpl
