Webster and Grant

Daniel Webster and Stephen Grant

other with good -humored words. Gram

"Do YOU see straight today, Stephe ~
shouted Webster to Grant.
"ies, Dan." retorted his droll friend;

Dartmouth College began as a mis-
sionary school for the education OF the
Indian youth OF New England, and was
originally called Moor's Indian Charity
School because Joshua Moor gave a
house and two acres OF land to help
support its missionary work.
Years sfterward the two class mates
met at festive gathering Of New
Hampshire lawyers. The old banter
ing habit revived at once.
Webster amused the company with a
description Of Grant. appearance on
his way 70 enter the college. He de-
scribed Inn tugging UP the hill into
Hanover, with the saddle on his back
that he had stripped from the old horse
his father had lent him for the journey
The horse had given out several miles
from the town, and Grant had turned
him loose to die, but, determined to
save the saddle, had buckled il on his
own back.
Grant waited till the laugh had sub.
sided, and then retorted with a descrip.
ton Of Webster on his entrance into
Hanover.
"Dan," said he, walked UP the hill
dressed in blue jean Jacket and cor.
duroy trousers far too short to reach
his stockingless feet. AS he trudged
along he kept inquiring the way &c
'Moor's Indian Charity School"
Then the laugh was against Webster

Of his droll way Of putting things. He

to live, but did not stay there long
Being asked his reason for leaving the
place so soon, he replied:
There's not room enough there
The hills come down all around so close
together that there is no space to turr
around in. A little shoemaker moved
in and began business there; but wher

has visited many sections in Washing
ton county, Md, and Berkeley county.
W. Va, where oil seepages have been
discovered and tests made OF the oil
taken from springs. Tests OF water
taken from what is known as the "Sul-
phur Lot Springs" located At Bedine-
ton, by the Pittsburgh Testing Labora-
tory, stated that "the sample was treat.
ed with ether, which was removed and
volatilized. The residue remaining af-
ter the ether was completely driven of

cum OIL"
This water was taken from the "Sul-
phur Lot Spring." known to residents
OF Bedington for many years, for drink
ing purposes. Several years ago, res
idents noticing the taste OF oil in the
water in the spring, discarded it and
sought drinking water elsewhere. II
is near this spring that the first we'll
will be drilled.
In speaking Of the proposed opera
tons, which will be started shortly at
Bedington, Mr.. McCown stated that the
work will be completely in charge Of 4
trained geologist and will be entirely
along scientific lines. 1t is thought
from the dip Of the rock formations that
oil should be located at between 1900
and 1000 feet from the surface. The
rock formation at Bedington is almost
Identical with that in Lancaster county
Pa, where oil has Just recently been
struck.
Operations also may be started in the
Hancock district, where similar oil see
pages have been discovered. lust
where they are located, officials Of the
company refused to divulge, because
they have ben unsuccessful thus far in
obtaining lease on enough OF the
land in that region.
For some years the possibility Of
finding oil in this section has been dis
cussed, but there has been no one will
ing to finance the drilling of a we'll.
Oil seepages were discovered in the
Indian Spring district and a resident
while digging we'll there some wears
ago struck a vein Of fine anthracite
coal. Biologists last year visited sew
eral sections Of the county and stated
that there were some indications that
Oil might be located here.
Two Baltimoreans are also interest
ed in the new company OF which Mr..
McCown is president. They are ]. u.
Mcclellan, vice president; and ]. u.
Lennon, Jr., secretary and treasurer.

Words Have Strange Sources.

Philology Is one OF the most inter-
esting subdivisions Of history. The
history Of words-the origin and
journey down the ages until we make
their acquaintance-is fascinating. In
such a commonplace subject as the
names OF the different fabrics from
which our clothing is made, for in
stance, there is whole volume OF his
tory, with now and then a bit Of bio
graphy thrown in for good measure.
Take the good old-fashioned stuff.
calico, OF which the aprons and dresses
in our mothers and grandmothers'
days were made before it was widened
and starched and dubbed percale. Gen.
turtles ago there was on the western side
Of the Indian peninsula a great civ
whose principal industry was the ma
King OF cotton goods printed in colors.
Calicut was the name Of the CITY, which
had splendid haEbor, handsome pal
aces and magnificent pagodas. Its cit
liens were strong and soldierly enough
to twice repel invaders who tried to
capture the city and learn the valuable
secret Of its printed cottons, for the
fabrics OF Calicut were highly priced
in other countries. The dropping of
the final consonan left the word "cali-
Gu" which in course Of time became
the "calico" Of today.
Muslin is another word Of Eastern
origin. This comes from Mosul, an
old city Of Mesopotamia, famous long
ago for its delicate cottpns, so thin that
whole breadth might be drawn
through lady's finger ring. According
to the famous Venetian traveller, Marco
Pole, the caravans of the MoRul brought
the wonderful muslins to Bagdad and
Alepro, whence the Europe of the Mid
die Ages was supplied. The flowing
wells Of the ladies of the period were
Of fine muslin, brought over sea and
desert from Mosul.
A second group of fayorite cotton
fabrics comes from Europe. We call
one Cambria" and again the name all
but repeats that the place where it
was born-Cambrai. When Julius
Caesar was carrying on his campaign
in Gaul, it was one Of the chief cities
OF that war-like tribe, the Nervii. La
ter Charlemagne fortified it strongly.
1t has had many kinds Of prominence
down the centuries right up to the
World War, in which it was very much
in evidence, but for nothing is it better
known than for the perfection of its
Gotten fabrics.
Tulle, the delicate, open-mesh lace
which is such fayorite for scarfs and
light draperies, takes its name withou,
changing from a city in the south OF
France.
As India and France have named
our cottons for us, so England has
named the most substantial woolens
About the year 1890 the voolen trade
settled in and around wbrsted, q town
Is miles from Norwich, and it was a,
this place that the manufacture Of the
twisted, deuble-threaded voolen, after
ward called vorsted, was arst carried
on, IL not invented.
Linsey-Voolen, for long time pop.
ular fabric Of wool and cotton, was
made at Linsey and called "linsey-wool

purposely or "ust happened" Is moi
