A MIGHTY Appetite.

We eat, but we no longer stuff. The
great suffers of the past are dead.
What of that seventeenth century
Kentish man Nicholas Wood, for ex-
ample, who would eat q whole hog at
a sitting and follow it up the next day
with thirty dozen pigeons? Withal
this possessor of "Kentish stomach
was a sportsman. AS proof Of this
there Is that record of his challenge to
Taylor, the water poet, to "eat at one
time as much black pudding as would
reach across the Thames at any place
to be fixed by Taylor himself between
London and Richmond" Well might
old Fuller moralize over that appetite
of Woods. Let us raise our graft
tude," be said. ito the goodness Of
God, especially when he giveth us ap-
petite enough for our meat and yet
meat too much for our appetite. ~

The Word "Chap."

"Chap" is simply an abbreviation of
chapman, the merchant of former days,
and is derived from the Anglo-Saxon
"ceap," a bargain. The word almost
brings before us the loud voiced
"cheap Jack" as he cries his wares in
the cheaping or market. Chap seems
to have come into common use at the
end of the sixteenth century and Is
rarely mentioned in books before 100.
Johnson does not recognize 1t, though
Steele uses it In 1872 in the Spectator
eff you want to sell. here is your
chap'O, and it is found In Baileys Die
tionary, 1871. Its original meaning Of
buyer or lIer still fingers in the
dialects of unany counties. Coupled
with the adjectives old. young, little,
poor, it was and is used in familiar
language, as is its relative, queer
customer" Todd, 1918, affirms that a
good chap meant one o whom credit
might be given. whereas not qualified
by good 1t was term of contempt

HospitaI Fiahters.


Into a hospital came two men with
battered faces.
Street fght?" said the surgeon In
charge.
1t was. Under the doctors directions
orderlies moved beds and patients
around until the newcomers were
separated the length of the ward.
"In this case that precaution may not
be necessary" he said, 'but after a
street brawf it very often Is. Before
we learned the peculiarities of those
people it happened more than once
that two men who were mortal enc
mics were brought in and laid out side
by side. Each saw his advantage and
was foxy enough to keep still until
both were left alone in adjoining cots;
then they sailed into each other tooth
and nail. trying to finish the job that
had been interrupted in the street
Once or twice they nearly succeeded.

tendencies are placed so far apart that

Great Men Tall and Short.

A recent investigator has attempted
to show that Lombroso and his follow.
ers were wrong in asserting that men
of genius were of small stature. OF
230 individuals Of eminence he found
that figures were obtainable for 1903;
of these sixteen were of middle height,
fifty-eight above and twenty-nine be-
low.
Americans particularly combined
greatness with inches. Jefferson and
Jackson were more than six feet tall.
Sumner was six feet four inches, and
Washington. Lincoln and Beecher were
more than six feet. Among famous
foreigners Tolstoy was large man,
and so were Thackeray, Bismarck and
Darwin.
On the contrary, many of the worlds
greatest geniuses were understood and
even deformed. Napoleon, Poe, Pope,
Alexander the Great, Nelson. Blake
and Caesar were small men.
After all is said, genius is no re-
specter of ruIes.-New York American.

The Mans Mistake.

Out Of loyalty to his own sex the
manager of the womans suit depart
ment discharged his young woman
stenographer and hired man. The
first batch of letters dictated to the
man were written to about hundred
old customers, whom he invited to ex
anime privately a lot of exclusive gar
ments before they we're placed on SALE
The day after the letters were mailed
the women fiocked into the store, but
the fire that burned in their eyes was
the fire Of the avenger rather than of
the bargain hunter. One word which
each woman had underlined in her
letter explained their wrath. The gar
ments, SO the manager had meant to
say, had been designed for women of
stock figure. such as they possessed,
but the male stenographer had drawn
ON the alphabet and had written 1t
"stocky."
mo woman on earth would have
been guilty of such a mistake,
growled the manager.
The next week the girl stenographer
had her job back.-Philadelphia Led

Tha Moss Troopers.

Moss troopers was the name given
to the desperate plunderers and rob
bers who secreted themselves through
out the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles in the "mosses" on the borders
of Scotland. These outlaws were
largely made up of deserters and GRIM
inals from the armies of England and
the continent, and their depredations
and cruelties were the terror Of the re-
gion infested by them Many severe
laws were passed against them, but
they were not fairly extirpated until
the eighteenth century. 49,

Exclusives In Your Body.

The human body contains no fewer
than four substances which are so in

ounces of. this substance, which. as
everybody knows. readily takes fire OF

weighing 100 pounds contains nearly
one and half ounces of magnesium,
two ounces of sodium and nearly two

Doinq Chores.

There Is no time In the year when
there is cessation from toll on farm.
It is different in winter; that is all.
The days are shorter, the work
rougher. OF course much depends
upon the character of the farm. Con-
siderable leisure is possible where few
cattle are kept and general trucking
done. But always there are the
Chores" A remarkably elastic express
sios that-"doing chores" 1t may
mean much or little. Some dairy farm
ers, for instance, whose serious bust
ness in life Is milking cows, may pot
ter around the farm after the morn
ings milking and, taking the mornings
milk to the creamery or railroad sta
ton, eat their noon dinners, mend some
fence, look over the harness or haul
out manure. potter around some more
and then say, -"Guess it's about time
to do the chores" meaning to milk
two dozen cows or so-the real hard
work of the day.-Philadelphia Press.

When Dante published his "Inferno"

South His reference to the marvel
Gus significance of one thousand mill
ion dollars for the one crop Of which
the South holds and should ever hold
the monopoly, that of cotton, shows
that the world Is taking notice of the
South. The South is great in every
thing that distinguishes people, and
it is certain that its immense posi-
bilities are attracting attention as
never before.
These facts should serve as an in
spiration to the people of the South,
and not only buoy their hopes, but
increase their faith in the certainty OF
future development.
Locally there is much to encourage
and this people should read papers

The public pulse is mercuric, some
Zines high, some times low. We are all
creatures of environment; rather our
environment affects and largely con-
trolls our status
The general state Of business lethar-
gy which has prevailed throughout
the country, has seemingly become
chronic, but all affirm, iterate and
then re-iterate, that it is by no means
incurable. There are many evidences
of an upward trend and these should
be encouraged.
The railroads have played the
waiting game to finish. They
have been contending for the
right to advance their rates, and for
this privilege they made strenuous
light When the case was decided
against them the wheels kept moving
on. The demand for steel rails and
for cars and motive power seem to
be keeping the mills and manufacture
ers busy. Viewed from any stand
point. the condition Is favorable to q
very early improvement and all this
gives hope.
Hope, however, is not faith, and
what is now needed is more faith.
