Orioin of "Piaaiarist."

One who appropriates-that is, steals
the literary work Of another to use
it as his own thought. the child o.
his own brain, is guilty of plagia-
rism, as everybody knows, yet few are
acquainted with the derivation of the
word or know that the plagiarist is lit
orally child stealer. Among a GER
tain class of criminals in Rome in the
time of the earlier Caesars, there ex-
listed the damnable custom of stealing
children and selling them as slaves.
According to Roman law, the child
stealers, when detected. received as a
part of the penalty for their crime. a
severe Jogging. AS the Latin word
playa signifies a stripe or lash, the
ancient kidnapers We're termed ''pla-
giari"-that is, deserving of stripes.
So both the crime and the criminals re-
ceived their names from the castiga-
ton inflicted.

PETITION FOR HALF RATE,

At a meeting of the railroad COM
missioners held at Darlington recently,
it was decided to issue an order to all
railroads upon the petition of the Min
neapolis Threshing Machine Company,
that the one-half rate on all returned
implements and machinery for repairs,
be re-instated. The order, as near as
possible, will be along the same line as
orders recently issued in South Dakota
and Minnesota, so that rates in all
three states will be uniform. This rate
will be effective March LIST. At this
same meeting an order was decided
upon to require the Great Northern to
stop trains No. 8 and 4 at Leeds. This
was done in compliance with petit
ton coming from the travelling men
over the state, and their position was
supported by a petition of over eighty
business men at Leeds. Following the
adjournment a tour Of inspection was
made by the Commission over the main
line of the 500 from Darlington to
Kenmare, and from there along the
wheat line as far east as Olmstead. The
Commission found the track along the
wheat line in good condition and the
road was giving good service. The re-
port the commissioners will file re-
garding this inspection will be favor
able to the 500 road management.

For the benefit Of the patrons Of the

city carriers windows will be kept open
on Sunday from nine o'clock in the
morning until one in the afternoon.
The same hours will be kept on Christ
mas day also. No registered mail will
be received on these days nor any mon
ey orders issued.
The employees of the postoffice are
human and like to enjoy the holiday

should also get their mail as early on
these days as is possible so the offic-
ials will find little time to spend with
their families.
In leaving the windows open Christ
mas, Postmaster Daeley is comforting a
favor on the local patrons and the fact
should be appreciated.
