THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PikER"

TN ENGLISH slang a "piker"
= is a tramp or vagrant, and
Borrow, in his "Word-book of
the English Gypsy Language"
states: 1.-THE people called in
acts of parliament sturdy beg.
CARS" and Migrants" were, in
the old cant language abraham
men" and, in the modern,
s'Pikers."
BY referring to "Piers Piow-
man." we find that the word is
by no means modern, for one Of
the quatrains of this old piece
reads:
1 have a horne. and be a hayward.
And liggen nyghtes
And keep my corne and my croft
From Pykers and Thieves.
From this evidence, it is prob.
able that the word was brought
over to this country by some Of
the English settlers, and gained
new impetus here by reason of
the fact that the name Pike was
applied in California in the
early sos to the migratory
Southern poor whites, many of
whom came from Pike county, in
Missouri
pike" says Nordhoff, in his
book on California, sin the
California sense Of the word is
the wandering, gypsy-like poor
Southern white. This person
often lives with his family in a
wagon. He rarely follows any
steady industry. He is frequent
~ a squatter on other peoples
lands. He will not work regu-
larly, but moves from place to
place as the humor seizes him."
The coast definition of
"piker," coupled with the origi-
nal English meaning, was doubt
less responsible for the adoption
of the term in race-track slang
as the equivalent Of some one
who bets only small amounts,
man who plays safe and is
afraid to take a chance. From
the race-track, the term was
adopted by Wall street, an
finally found its way into the
colloquial language # the ma
ton as whole-though it has
never been sanctioned by the
best of usage.

MRS. MAUD T. BYARS SPEAKS
TO WOMEN OF BAPTIST CHURCH

Mrs. Maud T. Byars, Of Kansas
City, spoke to large assemblage OF
women and girls of the First Baptist
church on Friday afternoon at 300
o'clock. Mrs. Byars is devoting her
time to visiting the different churches
of this district trying to get them to
pledge money to apply to the. salary
of Miss Jessie Burrell, of Stephens
College of Columbia, Mo. Miss Bur-
rell is well known to the Baptist peo-
pie, and it is their earnest desire to
assist in keeping her at Columbia.
Miss Burrell's work is recognized in
nearly every state. Before she went
to Columbia she had Sunday school
class in Washington, D. c., with an
enrolment of 1900 girls. At Columbia
she teaches the Bible at Stephens COL
lege and devotes much time to the
University. In her Sunday school
class there the enrolment is 1000 with
an average attendance of $50 young
people. When the class organized it
was made up of young girls, and later
young men of the Missouri University
petitioned her let them come into her
class. 1t is now mixed class, and
growing with every Sunday.
1t would be impossible to tell of
Miss Burrell's work, it is so much.
Her salary is small compared to the
salary she received in Washington,
and the salary she has been offered
elsewhere. The Columbia people are
anxious to keep her and the students
are quite as anxious as they, and so
Mrs. Byars is asking the churches
over the district to pledge certain
amount of money to help pay her
salary. The Baptist church pledged
$100 and feel that the amount is very
small, compared to the services rem
dered by Miss Burrell.
| 1t was very enthusiastic crowd OF
women and girls who listened to Mrs
Byars, who is a wonderful speaker
and never tires OF praising the worthy
Miss Burrell.

PREyENTATlvE MEDICINE

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication Of a cold appears
so as to get rid Of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia wien this
remedy may be obtained for a trifle.

Their Unceasing Work Keep Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which vary widely but may include
pain in the back. headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right the danger is overcome.
