ORIGIN OF "BuNCoMBE."
How a coIonel's Name Came to Be a
Term Of Reproaoh.


Whenever / pick up copy Of the
Congressional Record and numerous
other publications and read the irrele-
want speeches therein reported | sigh
for the memory of Colonel Edward
BuncOmbe, "Girard" writes in the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
Through no fault of the gallant gen
tleman himself, there clings to his name
an unpleasant significance which many
of our brave public men do naught to
mitigate. Indeed, If there be such a
thing as one shades taking vengeance
upon another in the future world Colo
mel Buncombe win at least pull out
Felix Walkers tongue.
1t was all Walkers fault that bun
combe" became a term of reproach,
and the incident which made it so hap
pened a century ago.
Walker represented in congress a dis
trict of North Carolina of which Bun
combe county was part. The county
uuu DcSh huhSu away puSh III i'oA Al
honor Of Colonel Buncombe.
Walker was one Of those long dis.
tance orators who without half trying
could empty the halls of congress and
put them in condition beside which
the dead streets of Pompeii appear
great white ways. When upbraided one
day for talking about everything ex'
cept the question at issue Walker used
this immortal phrase:
II am only talking for Buncombe,"
meaning his home county.
And so "buncombe" became a new
word in our language, which has been
conveniently shortened into the COLO
quial "bunk."

Soap and Hard Water.

The hardness Of water is measured
by degrees. When gallon contains
one grain of lime 1t Is said to have one
degree of hardness. When soap is used
with Hard water about two and one
half ounces of 1t to each hundred gal
Ions of water must be used for each
degree Of hardness just to overcome
hardness. 1t combines with the lime,
forming mineral product, and not
until enough soap has been dissolved to
overcome all the hardness does the
soap do any good for cleansing pur
poses.

Wen I think that the Christmas will
surely be white,
II looks ike It now, that is true;
Well. let Il be so, It won't matter
much,
To folks like Yours Truly, and you
When I say you, ] mean folks out OF
work,
or those who don't have 70 work
much:
There are numbers who represent
that kind OF folks,
White Christmas won't matter 20
much.
But it VIII matter much TO lots Of
poor folks.
Whose income % cash Is so email,
That they have 10 buy coal in very
small bags.
And some cannot buy it ct all.
Wh ie &c is no dishonor 20 be poor
man,
Il IS quite inconvenient. you know;
And % those kind OF people, Il Is no
delight.
To see the earth covered with snow.
But. oh my, the kids. how happy they
are.
Both the boys and the girls in the
town:
with the soul shining out OF each
pair OF eyes.
AZ the sight Of the snow coming
down.
Roller skates are forgotten and sieds
are IN play.
And each enjoy them, as q rule.
An the sight OF those Riddles calls up
long ago,
The DAYS vhsn this boy went to
school
The time seems 20 short since I was
q boy.
But one look m The glass, and

Here, Fans, is One
That is Really New

The fans of the bay cities were
startled recently upon the filing of a
damage suit by Alice Butler against
the Pacific Coast Base Ball league to
learn that at Recreation park, San
Francisco, on April g. one Of the
coast league players did "carelessly,
negligently and unnecessarily hit and
strike one OF the base balls" with his
bat.
The teams were Oakland and Yer
non, although plaintiff did not specify
which sides efforts were so futile.
After this unnecessary swat, says
plaintiff, the ball scared into the re-
served section and hit l0-yearfold Be-
atrice Silva on the nose, brek liking it,
and blackening her eye. Al1e Butler
is her guardian,
The plaintiff declares thG e was no
proper protection given SPECTATORS
against such incidents and aNs $lO,-
600 damages.
