BETTOR HAD MONEY COMING
But Then, Charley Is Hardly Likely
to Live Four thousand Weeks,
You Know.

Well conceal his identity under the
trade name Of Charley. says the New
York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times.Star. He is a telegraph opera
tor, with a professional knowledge Of
the ponies. When times were better
in this town, in sporting way, he
used to take the racing results In a
a poolroom. When the Western Union
refused to serve the rooms in town
any more, he had to take just an ordi-
nary wire-snapping job. AS side is-
sue he used to run little handbook.
"I'll take the bets at track odds" he
announced to his friends. You all
know that | haven't any bank roll, but
I'm honest. If you hit me too hard,
III have to pay you off out OF my sal
ary, at the rate of two dollars
week"
That was satisfactory to the little
bunch of operators who handed him
dollar bills daily. Charley went on,
luck being a little better than even.
Operators are pretty wise players, as
rule, and they hit him almost as
often as they lost But on the whole
Charley was ahead. Then, one day,
friend put a flve-dollar bill on four
horse parlay.
81 don't like to take this money"
Charley protested. 4 don't know what
this parlay may pay If 1t goes through.
No way Of getting the track odds here.
If you win, and | haven't enough
money on hand to settle, you'll have to
take 1t out of my pay, two dollars a
week"
The other fellow agreed-and the
four-horse parlay went through. The
lucky bettor won $4,000 from Charley,
and spent $3.50 of his own money in
celebrating the event. Next day he
went around to collect.
This" said Charley, rs to be paid
off at the rate of two dollars a week.
will get through paying you in just
four thousand weeks"
According to the other bettor, the
second Christian era will be dawning
before he gets his money out Of
Charley. He wanted to take Charley's
typewriter for It, and call 1t square,
but Charley refused. I'm no welcher,"
he protested, Indignantly. "Pll pay
you every cent-if live that long"

The Oldest Eqa.

Not so long ago party OF explorers,
members of the Archaeological society
of Mayence, found, during their eXca-
vations in the ancient Moguntiacum, a
hens egg which was estimated to have
been buried for something like nine
teen centuries.
Moguntiacum was built by Drusus,
the son of the Roman Emperor Angus
tus, in the year IA b. C. Upon the site
of the ancient Roman castrum or en-
campment near the city the excava.
tions in question brought to light
many interesting relics, including
some water cisterns of Roman make.
1t was in one Of these, which was To-
Gated twenty feet below the ground.
that damaged Roman clay pot was
found containing the shell OF broken
egg and also a whole egg that had
been kept from being smashed by a
shred OF the damaged pot, which COW

over TO the municipal museum.-Harp

Women knluhts,

It is not at all well known that
knighthood has constantly been con-
ferred upon women. Many English
ladies' received the accolade and
many more were members of such
knghty orders as the Garter and st.
John. When Mary Cholmondeley,
the bold lady Of Cheshire" was
knighted by Elizabeth for "her valiant
address, on the queen taking the
command at the threatened invasion
of Spain, did she know that a whole
city Of Spanish women, the gallant
women of Tortosa. had been knighted
for saving that city from the Moors +?
Mary and Elizabeth had both been
knIghted at their coronation, but by
the time Anne. the second Mary, and
Victoria ascended the throne II had
been quite forgotten that according to
English law and use woman who
filled a mans office acquired all its
privileges and was immune from none
OF its duties.

Domestic Pets.

A healthy dog, living natural and
healthy life-not the life Of the pam
pered inmate Of a harem-is dis
tinct asset in household.
He not only helps to smooth the
rough places and give us interests and
protection, but very often he compels
his owners to take their due share OF
exercise and lead more open air lives
than they would do If left to them
selves.
We owe him heavy debt Of grati-
tude and we should lose no opportun.
ity of doing him good turn, but the
lady who let's her pet eat from her
own plate, sleep in her own bed, even
teaches him to take morsels from her
own lips, frequently kisses her pets
muzzle, and allows him to lick her
face with equanimity in return, is Sc
verely warned.
These, says a we'll known doctor,
are most dangerous practices when
one realizes how all dogs perform
their own toilettes and where they
poke their muzzles, and also how the
germs of certain disease may be trans
mitted.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "STEEL'
Anclents Made II, But They Are Said
Not Actually to Have
Named II.

I'VE do not know much" writes c.
w. Ernst in the Bulletin Of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel association. I'VE
do not know where the word steel
came from. nor do we know the orig
inal meaning. A leading authority
claims the word as having started in
England; he Is sure mistaken, as the
records show.
When the word first appeared in
English or Anglo-Saxon 1t had become
n proper name on the continent, show
Ing the general diffusion Of the term.
We are equally disappointed in the
Greek and Roman classics. They knew
how to harden soft iron, but had no
name for the finished product we call
steel.
THE Greeks obtained a good brand
OF steel from the Chalybes at Sinope:
that brand they called 'chalybs' or
'chalybos,' and the Romans adopted
the term. But the common people did
not use the word, which occurs mainly
in poetry. 1t was so used by Aeschy-
lus about ATS B. c. and in Latin by
Virgil few years before the Chris
Tan era.
when the writer's Of good Latin
prose wished to convey the idea OF
steel they were apt to use the word
acies,' which means sharp edge or
sharp point. In the third century OF
our era we find the word 'acieris' and
later still the word acIarlum' whence
the French 'acler,' meaning steel
THE word steel has not been found
prior to the eighth century. 1t occurs
in the so-called Epinal gloss. where
steeli' is given as the Anglo-Saxon
equivalent OF the late Latin 'acceari-
UNI Just mentioned Students wishing
to verify this may consult Henry
Sweets edition Of the gloss, 1883,
page 2.
AT that time the word was common
on the continent and had become a
proper name, both as simple 'stahl
or in compounds like 'stalhart.' We
have no word like steel before the
eighth century; we have no trace of
the French acier' before the third
century. Yet men made steel in the
days OF Homer and before his time in
India. But even in the best days of
Greece and Rome they hardly knew
cast iron. Their iron statues were
made OF wrought iron and only trivial
examples OF cast iron are OF classical
antiquity.
ITO temper. meaning to harden
wrought iron by heating and then dip.

by Pliny. The process Of 'tempering,'
of course, is much older. 1t is men,

Poultry Shipping Crate.

any number Of these crates of a GER

Congressman Lloyd of Maryland, the
principal speaker. AT present the only

Kenyon Resolution
Attracting Attention

The resolutions of Senator Kenyon for
an Investigation into many phases of
the railroad question, including the
feasibility of establishing a system of
maximum and minimum rates, is at
tracing much notice in Congress. The
purpose of the resolution is to obtain
information, through the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee, on which
sweeping changes in the interstate COM
merce laws can be based
Senator Kenyon says the interstate
commerce laws are all right as far as
they go, but need to be strengthened in
important respects.
One step he believes must be taken Is
to establish by law a comprehensive
system of maximum and minimum rates
for this country.
Senator Kenyon is familiar with the
railroad situation in the United States,
having served formerly as general at.
torney for the Illinois Central road
under Jacob NJ. Dickinson, who later
became Secretary of War.
