The Big Gray Car
Talent Company
Uses Irrigation

The Glasgow-Stratton Company,
who have field Of about 100 acres
near Talent, this year succeeded in
getting water on about thirty acres
of the land, with the result chat the
portion that was irrigated yielded
some two tons of alfafa to the acre
on the third cutting, while the un-
irrigated part did not pay for now
ing.
They intend to have the entire
field under irrigation next year, and
also try TO irrigate twenty-five-acre
grain field. Off from the little thir-
ty-acre patch that was irrigated they
received some $500 for the third
crop, while the unirrigated part
brought no income. This shows what
seemingly poor land will do with a
little water, for when the bitches
were dug to convey water to the thir-
ty acres, picks had to be used to cut
the top surface.

The Round Robin.

William Henry P. Fyfe In give
Thousand Facts and Fancies" says
that round robin Is the name given to a
remonStrance or petition signed by a
number of persons, generally in a cir
cular form, so as to avoid giving prom
inence to any single name. He contin-
ues:
This device Is said to have been
first used by the officials Of the French
government as means Of making
known their grievances. The most cele-
brated round robin in the English lan-
guage Is the one signed by Burke, Glib
bon, Sir Joshua Reynolds and others
and sent to DR.. Samuel johnson, re-
questing him to amend the epitaph to
Oliver Goldsmith in Westminster abb
bey and suggesting that 1t be written
In English and not In Latin. Johnson
accepted the round robin In kindly
spirit, but told Sir Joshua Reynolds,
the bearer of the mlssive, that he
would never consent to disgrace the
walls of Westminster abbey with an
English inscription"

He Had Seen the PLAY.

While acting In Sir James Barrie's
play, The Little Minister" at a sub
urban theater Miss Grace Lane was
told at the end of the first act that u
gentleman, whose name she did not
catch, would like to speak to her.
Miss Lane supposed that it was re-
porter on local paper who desired an
Interview, and she wearily gave per-
mission for the visitor to be brought
into her presence.
When, little later, the manager
brought small delicate looking man
up to her in the wings she smiled upon
him condescendingIy and opened the
conversation by saying she hoped he
liked the play.
Yes answered the stranger quietly,
I've no very grave faults to find with
It,"
II suppose" continued Miss Lane,
that you saw 1t when 1t was produced
at the llaymarketY"
Yes, saw it there more than once"
was the reply.
"You seem to have taken great In
terest in the play" was Miss Lanes
next remark, as she began to show
signs of moving of.
"Well, you see," said the quiet little
man apOlOgetically, II wrote it."
The stranger. whose name she had
not caught, was James Matthew Barrie

Kinsale.

Kinsale keeps a modest place In the
history of Ireland. 1t was here that
Don .Juans fleet landed 5000 men to
join hands with 0Neill, out Of which
landing grew the story that the cot
tages at Worlds End are "still inhabit-
ed by the descendants Of Spaniards "
1t was from Kinsale that James ii, on
March 2, 1859, landed and from Kin
sale he sailed after his defeat at the
battle of the BOyne. Thirty years ago
the house in which he spent the night
before his departure was still in exist
ence. Kinsale was greater In the past
than now, for we read that "Of all the
Irish ports 1t was the best situated for
intercourse with France and that in
the town Marlborough found thou
sand barrels of wheat and eighty pipes

Mountain Lion
Stays Big Horse

Redding Searchlight; When a
mountain lion can kill 1,OO0-pound
horse and drag the carcass 1875 yards
it must be pretty big beast.
S. c. English, farmer of the Big
Bend of the Pit, has unmistakable
evidence that a three-year-old horse
owned by him was pounced upon by
the lion, which jumped on its back
and chewed its neck and throat. The
horse was on top Of ridge. The
tracks show plainly that the horse
and lion struggled for mastery, the
lion finally winning. The lion
dragged the horse down the gentle
slope distance of 1875 yards
Bushes mashed down show where the
horse had risen to its feet and taken
a few steps, only to be felled to earth
again. The brush shows, too, that
when tree was in the path the lion
dragged the dead horse around it,
No one has ever seen the lion, but
its tracks are encountered frequently.
Nine calves and fifteen goats in the
Big Bend found dead with the flesh
torn were doubtless victims of the
same powerful beast. Several deer
have been slain also.
The lion does not eat the flesh of
its victims, but seems to have been
satisfied with blood and death.

NAPOLE0N'S MAXIM.
II Can Be Traced Back to Taeitus In
the Second Century.

~ SaN BV aSCa SdSN ~ ~
the Second Century.
Napoleon's maxim was, 1t is said,
that Providence is on the side of the
big battalions, but by what right 1t has
become the property Of the little cor
poral" is not quite clear. Though he
may have acted upon 1t, he did not In
vent it, and it is his merely by right Of
conquest.
In the first place, we can trace 1t
back to Tacitus. who in the fourth
book Of his history, written somewhere
In the second century, says, "Deos for
tioribus adesse" c'The gods are on the
side Of the stronger'). From Tacitus
we jump to NJ. Bussy-Rabutin, French
litterateur, who lived in the seventeenth
century. God Is generally on the side
of the large battalions against the lit
tle," he wrote. From him or more prob
ably from her mother wit Nine. de Sc
vigne, his contemporary wrote, For
tune is always ON the side of the lar
gest battalions."
Some fifty years later came Voltaire,
who wrote in letter to NJ. lie Richie,
at is said that God is always on the
side of the heaviest battalions." That
letter was written in ITO, when Napo-
leon was but one year old. Thus we
come to him whose maxim 1t is said to
be, but here the reference books help
US but little and help Napoleon less.
Providence is always on the side Of
the last reserve" is given as his ver-
sion of the trite phrase, and even this
is not credited to him freely, but only
attributed to Napoleon L"-Westmin-

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance Of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need

MEANING OF "JITNEY."
There Arc Many Theories as to the
Origin Of the Word.

There Arc Many Theories as to the
Origin Of the Word.
The meaning of the word jitney Is a
five cent piece. The origin Of the word
rests wholly on supposition. and many
explanations are given. One interested
in the subject gathered the following
information: A correspondent from
Soda Creek, B. c., said he knew the
term as slang in Glasgow, Scotland,
over fifty years ago. 1t was used to
designate something small or insignif-
can't The word was said to come from
the Scottish 'jitty," which means de-
ception. and the French "nisey," cor
rectly mails" meaning nlnny or sim
pleton.
Another correspondent said 1t Is a
foreign word which originated In Rus
sia as the name Of small Russian
coin. A Russian scholar, however, de-
clares there is no such coin and that
the word In Russian means rye"
A correspondent from Tacoma,
Wash. says the word lit" meaning
FIVE cent piece, can be traced back
hundred years and was the original
word used by slave traders for that
coin.
An Oakland, Cal, correspondent said
that jitney is word coined by the
southern negroes. There the small boy
when told to run an errand says, do
get jitney. boss?"
A Los Angeles man says that the
term is Mexican vernacular for nickel,
