That Word "Riot."

The origin of the word riot" is I'M
certain. Similar words are to bt
found in several languages proven
cal "riOta," dispute, strife; Italian
'riotta," quarrel, a dispute).
1t is well established rule that II
takes two to make quarrel. But ir
law it takes three or more persons
never less than three-to make a riot
one of the eliminating manifestations
Of quarrel.
Tho definition of riot" by Black
stone is broader than the common
conception Of the word in ordinary
speech.
Says Blackstone: "a riot is where
three or more actually do an unlawful
act of violence either with or without
a common cause or quarrel as If they
beat man Or hunt or kill game in
another's park" etc.
Under this definition three mer
shooting snipe out of season may be
said to be 'rioting''-for shooting any
thing unlawfully is ian act of vic
lence. "-Milwaukee Sentinel.

The First Counterfeit.

The first person to make counter.
felt was Richard Vaughan, a linen
draper of Stafford, Eng, which oc.
Cured in 1853. The Bank of Eng.
land had been in operation for 60
years without ever experiencing the
slightest trouble or apprehension
in the matter, and would probably have
gone On for many years more but for
the ambition of this man to impress
his fiancee with show of his wealth.
He handed over to this lady a con.
siderable sum in bank-notes, all OF
which turned out to be his own manu-
facture. The fraud was revealed by
one of the engravers whose services
had been engaged upon one part OF
the note. He communicated with the
authorities, and Mr.. Vaughan's enter
prise came to tragic end

ATTrCS RICH IN TREASURES
Houses Hold Dearly Priced Men,
cries of Days Gone BY.

Ascend to a typical New England
attic and view the conglomerate col
lection before your eyes. In one cor
ner, perhaps, is the enormous pail
which years ago held an ample supply
of rich wedding cake or pound cake
On the long wooden shelf above it re-
posed at one time fruity mince pies
and plum pudding to last the family
throughout the entire winter.
Lift tenderly the cover Of yonder
trunk and inhale gratefully the fra
GRANGE of sweet lavender and altar
Of roses that is waited upward
Should you uneArth a wedding gown,
undoubtedly you will find veil which
completed the costume, veil so love-
ly with the needlework and exquisite
embroidery that to gaze upon it is
joy.
But fortune indeed fav0rs those who
find within their atticS one of the lus-
trous shawls brought long ago from
the Orient From India there were
the gorgeous affairs of vivid scarlet
worked in designs Of black and gold,
from China shawls rich with elaborate
embroidery and those of camers hair
with it's white center and staid Dor
der Of palm leaves in blue and black.
One of the most interesting treas
ures remained unnoticed in one attic
for more than forty years, one of the
three most important pictorial wall
papers ever designed. The paper is
soft gray with each scene framed like
a picture, and depicts the escapades
of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
from the time they feft home until
their return.

of women who had been watching the
progress of the bill from the galleries
applauded when the result was an
nounced. Opposition to the measure
was voiced chiefly on the ground that
it would infringe on states rights.
Congressional Opposes Bill.
During debate Miss Alice M. Robert

defeat of the bill, while it's passage
was advocated by Representative Mon

and infancy Administration Of it's
provisions would be by the children's
bureau, with an advisory board con-
sisting of the chief Of the bureau, the
surgeon general Of the public health
service, and the United States commits
sioner of education.
Scores Club Women.
Miss Robertson in her speech took
a fling at club women, who, she said,
sit at ease in comfortable homes wor-
rying about other peoples children
and get thrill over tea cups by pass
ing resolutions designed to bring about
d new order in governmental affairs.
She declared that the bill would in
terfere with effective work now be-
ing done by individuals and by state,
municipal and private agencies.
"I'm not a mother, you know" she
said, "but God has given me a mothers
heart"
She was frequently applauded by
both proponents and opponents of the
bill.

No Virtue in OWNING Rod.

So general among European peas
ants is the belief in the power of the
witch hazel as an efficient diyining roo
for finding water, or pointing out
where water may be found If you but
dig deep enough to find it, that the
French Academy Of Sciences deter
mined to make an investigation OF
the witchiness of the hazel diyining
rod, and it has made report on it.
1t has reported in very fine French. in
French that is nearly as good as
most Americans speak, that the witch.
ing influence of witch hazed has been
over-estimated. The fine French of
the French Academy of Sciences
might be rendered In English as
"Nothin' to it," or "Nothin' dom IN
