The storm was a good enough
storm, as such things go, but it did
not come up to the Specifications OF
the weather bureau. 1t was billed
as a tropical storm. and it was not
tropical-far from it. On the con-
trary it was a blue northern cold
wet rain of the damp and chilly var
iety, SO familiar TO the people in the
semi-arctic regions around San An
tonic and Austin. 1t was no hurri-
cane either, but good, honest, pa
tient, steady gale from the north
west. However, it must not be sup.
posed that Brownsville is complain,
ing because the performance did not
quite come up to the bills.

People who were up and about as
early as three a. m, yesterday, as
was very moderate indeed-in
Brownsville. There was an abund-
ance of rain passing down the street,
but very little of it got off here
or anywhere between this and the
Gulf of Mexico. An old resident is
is reported as saying that if the
buildings had not arrested some of
the passing deluge the ground would
have been dusty by daylight: but
,that perhaps is an exaggeration.

1t must be admitted that, on their
own showing, WALTON, Schepps, Web
Der and Bald Jack" Rose are not
reputable men or good citizens, and
this fact may tend to weaken the
evidence they are giving against

New York now on trial for murder.
Still we must admit that men do not
apply to the minister's alliance or
to the aid society when they want to
hire people to commit murder.

that the express companies r go

about the matter they are not the
only ones concerned. A patient long

must not be forgotten that the ex-
pected loss is a loss in Dividends

ANGEL AVOIDED THE TRAP
Tells Of His Duel of Wits With a Spy
Of the Sultan Of Turkey
at Constantinople.

In the diplomatic service, a man
must always keep his wits Keen and
ready for use. A case in point is sup
piled by James Burrill AngAn, in his
"Reminiscences" in this aneedote Of
his sojourn In Constantinople, as min
lister from the United States:
The spies Of the sultan were every
where. A Turk told me that the spy
business was the most prosperous OF
all. | was assured that spies were
sitting at the dinner tables Of the prin-
cipal hotels, to overhear the CONVEX
sation Of the guests. With one against
whose visits I had been warned, had
an amusing interview.
He was handsome, dignified Arab,
who had been in England long enough
to talk English fairly well. He intro
duced himself to me by saying he had
been mayor Of Jerusalem, and was
now trying to procure from the gov
eminent a concession for the con-
struction of syste N of waterworks
for that city.
He regretted-so he informed me-
to find that the government was so
corrupt that he had no hope of secur-
ing the concessions except by bribing
a whole row OF officials. II refreshed
him to turn from those representa-
lives of corrupt and tyrannical gov
eminent and pay his respects to the
representative of a pure and honest
democracy,
Surprising his object to be to draw
from me some remark derogatory to
the Sultan, which he could report to
my disadvantage, remarked that
monarchy presided over by just SOW
ereign was very edifying spectacle,
and that even in republics it must
be admitted that corrupt men were
sometimes found in office.
He seemed surprised. and proceed
ed to eulogize republican government.
continued my concentrations of en-
lightened monarchies.
The conversation ran on in this way
for half an hour, when he babe me
adieu-but, as fiattered myself, with
out any game for his bag-Youth's
Companion.

birth of Words

In THE Romance of Words book
Just published by Ernest Weekley, the
story of the birth of some of our
youngest words is told. For example.
boycott dates from the early SOS OF
last century, when Captain Boycott
was treated by his Irish tenants and
neighbors in the way that has i'm
mortalized his name not only in Eng
lish but in the French verb, boycott
ter" and the German verb, boycott
tieren"
Who would have thought that Chsu-
Ger used the word ''assega, or that
mascot was born in 1850 when
Audran's opera La Mascotte" was
produced? The word 'heckle' was
adopted into English in the same year,
though It had long been in use in
Scotland "Feekless. a common slang
word before his day. received literary
confirmation by Carlyle's Use of It.
Weekend" was never heard in
English until 1888. when Mr.. Week
ley discovered 1t ST q Lancashire
