Word Hunting.

Hunting up word in the dictionary
is often much like the famous Pursuit
OF the Shark" in which, after most
exciting chase, discovery was made that
the elusive animal was not a shark at
all but Boojum. Now there the by no
means unusual word 'rigmarole, which
is slandered with the epithet "colloqui-
alism and is defined TO be "a success
sion Of confused or nosensical statements:
foolish talk: nonsense" But that is not
the end Of il. A line in small type says
See Ragman s-Roll." This brings the
information that ''ragman" was made
from ''ragemsn" and rageman stands in
Piers PlOwman for the devil. this tyr
annical roll being the roll of the man of
rage, the devil. And Piers Plowman
was not living man. but living poem,
by William Langley, an English poet,
born about 1892. The poem describes a
series Of nine dreams in certain of which
Piers Piowman appears. The poem ex-
posed the corruptions OF the State. Of
The Church and Of existing society. But
one may not tarry here with Ragman's
roll. Further information is TO the eff
feet that il may be corruption for Bag
iman's roll, which was said TO have
been a roll or record made by direction
Of one Bagimont, legate from Rome,
who, calling before him all the benefited
clergy in England and Scotland, caused
Them. on oath, TO give the true value of
their benefices according TO which they
were afterward taxed by the Court of
Rome. The taxation by Bagimont is
mentioned in old Scottish records. Bag
imont roll or record was also used to
designate the parchments on which the
Scottish nobility and gentry subscribed
allegiance in 1896 to Edward |, of Eng
land.
