A Wonderful Shot.

The story of a rifle bullet which
killed three deer and the pony upon
which the huntsman was riding was
told and vouched for by prominent
sportsmen and citizens. John L.
Parsons, of Charles City county, a
lumberman and hunter, whose ances-
tors were reared in the smell of gun
powder from the time of Captain
John Smith, is declared to have rid
den to the leeward side of group
OF three deer. Firing at the nearest
one, he saw first hit, then the second
and third fall and in a moment he
felt his pony give way and sink to
the ground. It was explained that
the ball ricochetted from deer to deer
and then killed the mount. All three
deer were brought in by the huntsman.

What Is a Yankee?

Writing about the present New Jer-
sey Legislature q correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says
that "the new Republican majority
leader is a Yankee" In specification
he adds: "He was born in Boston,
All persons born l Boston, then,
are Yankees. Presumably the CORE
spondent did not intend to restrict
the Yankee habitat to the modern
Athens. Probably in his view, largely
shared, all New Englanders are Yam
KEGS. This is accurate enough, buN
insufficient.
Among the Pennsylvania Dutch not
Only all New Englanders but all the
people of New York end New Jersey
are Yankees. In central and south
eastern Ohio all those who dwell in
the northeastern part of the state
are called Yankees. Across the Ohio
river, in Kentucky, ell Ohioans are
Yankees. South of Mason and Dix
on's line all the inhabitants Of the
Northern States are Yankees. To
the world at large all the people OF
the United States are Yankees.
But the elusiveness of the Yankee
does not stop even there. Going back
to its genealogical antecedents, the
term Yankee means Englishman.
The Indian allies of the French in
the wars between England and France
for possession Of about all of what
is now the United States save what
the Spanish had stakcd out were
taught that the name of the enemy
was "Anglasis." The noble led man
tried his best to say it and emitted
sounds which reduced to type would
be something like"Yankgey." So in
this vernacular, even when we were
under the English flag, we were all
"Yankgays"; not only all Americans
born but all who were of the British
armies as well.
An etymologist OF established re-
pute, Heckwelder, derives yankee"
from attempts of the Indians to say
English" attempts which resulted
| in some such word rs "Yanghees"
or "Yanghesh." So, IN the venerable
and rather overworked last analysis,
a Yankee becomes SIMPLY an English
man. Hence the supercilious Bliton
when he calls US Yankees in a dis
paraging way is only calling himself
names. But thereby ne renounces all
claim and title to the descriptive term,
This is as it should be. The ma
tioaalistic designation IS ours, exclu.
sively ours. Of course the Republi-
can leader in the New Jersey Legis-
lature is Yankee. So is the CORE
spondent of the Public Ledger. So
are we all of us. AS Yankees we have
managed to get along pretty well in
the world. We are quite satisfied to
be Yankees and quite satisfied with
this our Yankeeland.-New York
Herald.
