FORM OF CRITICISM
Original Expression, Getting the
Dickens" Was Not, as Many
Think Something Profane.

Sometime, somewhere, from some
body we all get 'the Dickens" And
those of us who become prominent get
it more than the others.
Among those of us ordinary NOR
tails who occasionally find relief in let
ting off steam in the form Of some
thing more expressive than slang,
there seems to be a common miscon-
ception that getting the Dickens" is
a modification or abbreviation of
(Heaven help us y getting the devil"
1t is not. 1t is a harmless. legitimate
and respectable expression that may
be used with impunity in the best of
company. 1t is simply an allusion to
our old friend, Charles Dickens.
Though immortal as novelist,
Dickens was well known in his own
time as a newspaper man. So vitriolic
is he said to have been in his at
tacks on faulty public officials or other
prominent men that gradually it came
to be said, when any one was criticized
by him, that he got ''the Dickens"

STANDARD ENGLISH POUND.

The original English pound was de-
rived from the weight of 1880 grains
of wheat taken from the middle of the
ears and well dried. This remained
the standard from the time of William
the Conqueror to the time of Henry
VIII, in whose reign the avoirdupois
pound of 1000 grains came into use.
This was established as the standard
pound during the reign of Queen Eliz-

out nine would-be batters. Wade OF
Rayne umpired. He had long busy
afternoon and was happy when, after
two hours and a half, he could sit
down to supper.
When St. Charles took the field
on Thursday afternoon, it looked and
played like genuine bali club, When
the college wanted hits the team hit.
The fielding also was greatly improv-

Coach Prince did not like the way the
Collegians crossed the plate in these
innings. Wade again watched the
bases and called the balls and
strikes.
St. Charles began to bump Bennett
in the very first frame. 1t was rath-
er cruel way to say to Bennett: We're
glad to see you" But in baseball that
sort of a reception is allowed if you
want to win. And the college did
want to win. Therefore of the nine
men who said "howdy" to Bennett in
the first inning, four hit him for sin
giles, which scored four runs. An aus
picious beginning the orators called
it and the college grandstand roared
their approval
Ruston fought gamely against this
lead and in their half of the inning
scored one run by Brown. Again in
