Walters Asks Uncle Sans

Columbia Jail, does not propose
to drop clear out of the limellght
and permit the penitentiary scan

dressed to the deputy clerk OF the
federal court at Biloxi, and which
has been forwarded to l.. b.

Walters now appeals to his
Uncle Sam to help him get otr OF
Jail, and as an inducement to the
Federal officials to get busy, ne
promises to give them some tips
which may lead to the detection n

thieves in South Mississippi and
Louisiana. Walters says he has
. the ''dope'' on some OF them' and
asks the government to send an
/ officer to confer with him about
. the matter.
His letter covers about 40 pages
Of foolscap, written with a lead
pencil on both sides of many
sheets, and is hard to make out
but it is easy to see what he Is

Changing a Name.

How patronymic may be trans
formed out of all recognition is shown
by an intsance quoted by Cosmo lines
in his work on surnames:
James Halfpeenny, Dublin citiz-
en-, throve in trade, and his children
induced him in his later years to
change the name, which they regarded
as undignified. This he did chiefly
by dropping the last letters. He was
buried as James Helpen. The
tune of the family did not recede, and
his son after renouncing retail deal
ing looked about for euphonious
name. He made no scruple of dropping
the unnecessary 'h." and, that being
done, it was easy to gi in for the Gel
tic rage, which Walter Scott had just
raised to great height. Consequently

mentioned the tarpon or silver king, a

an ally of the horse mackereI, is noted
for its leaps. Sometimes a school

fish often weighing 500 pounds are

COOKING Accounts.

The ward cook used in the sense OF
"cook up accounts is generally put in
quotation marks. but the phrase has
been almost long enough in use to
give it indisputab!e standing. Smollett
wrote of Cooking accounts" in 175l,
and proofs were Cooked century
earlier. but somehow cook remains
what the dictionaries sniff at as "col.
louual'' inthis sense, while "concoct,
which means to cook or boil Together,
has the status of fully accepted
word. The Romans used "concoquo''
and the simple "coquo' alike in the
metaphoricai sense OF bordering and
devising, but the obvious metaphor OF
Cooking" accounts never occurred to
them.

Animals Clever With Their Feet.

Goats are the most sure footed of our
native animals. They can walk up
right where the average human being
would not crawl. Horses are the dam
lest treaders, however, though they
cannot climb. No horse will step on a
man if it can POSSIBLY help it. 1t is a
standing rule in cavalry regiments that
il trooper is dismounted he must re-
main perfectly still, when the whole
column passes over him without injur-
ing him. Camels are careless, on the
other hand, and the man who came out
unframed from under the feet of
camel corps was not born to be run

Locks were used in the time of the

Rocks do not grow in the sense that
plant grows. They may increase by
accyetion, and they may undergo chem

lifted up. becomes sandstone and lime

streWn over the plains becomes tufa
