NICKNAMES OF N0RTHLAND IN
 DAYS GONE BY

N1cknames or soubriquets are prob ably as old as the human family. The first man of whom we read was Adam. His nickname was the Pippin, because it was pippin of an apple that Eve, his wife, gave him to eat Cain, their son, was the Slayer; Abel, the Sheep-herder; Esau, the Hairy Man; Sampson, the Strong; Solomon, the Wise; and so on down through the ages. The kings of England, or the most of them, were known, popu- larly, by their soubriquets. There were William the Conqueror, William Rufus or the Red, the Black Prince, Richard Humpback, and so on.
 In our own country we have had "Old Hickory" Jackson; Lincoln was the Railsplitter; there was "Tippe- canoe" Harrison, and "Stonewall" Jackson; the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash was Daniel w. Vorhees, and there was "Sockless Jerry" Simpson, besides host of others who might be enumerated
 But it is in the mining camps of 1 the west and north where nicknames abound, and when once one of these i descriptive names is applied to a man it usually holds during the rest of his natural life wherever his lot may be cast
