How 1t Started
"KNocklNG THE SPOTS OUT OF
EIMU
By JEAN NEWTON

KNOCKING THE SPOTS OUT OF
HIM"
THIS is an expression used very
L frequently In common speech In
the sense of overwhelming superiority
or a "walk-away" victory. OF late it
has come into use to express punish
ment or chastisement, but 1t is with
the meaning of showing superiority of
skill and achieving an easy victory
that it had its origin.
The saying comes to us from the
days when every household had its
firearms and even children were
taught to use them Workmanship
was the great accomplishment. And
though William Tell was dared TO
shoot an apple off his own sons head,
the usual test of much vaunted skill
In this direction was to make the tar
get playing card and the man who
could knock the spotsn out of this
was admitted to be an expert marks
man and an easy winner in any con-
test.
And so the expression has come
down to us to be used In the broader
application Of unquestionable victory
In whatever the matter may be that
Is under discussion.

Ireland's "Bi9 Wind"

The big wind" in Ireland in 1889
began before sunset one day and
ragged for IL hours. When 1t finally
subsided but precious little was left
that could be blown over. 1t was not

houses were blown down and ais many
more burned as the result of fires
started by the wind Twenty persons
were killed and over 100 drowned.
The coast Of Ireland and the western
coast Of England were strewn with
wrecks. 1t is said that for hours no
one could stand erect in an open field
because OF the force of the wind. To
the Irish who survived it, the "big
wind was comparable to the great

The story concerns itself with a
romance, not the romance of
"man S love for woman, which
wakes and wanes, but man s love
for his brother" which lasts to
eternity, and beyond. The virile
tale is essentially story of action,
with the threads of slender love

Of the three brothers, Beau, Digby
