The Incurable Gambler

THE Earl of Sandwich was an in
L durable gambler. He was al
ways the last one to leave the rou-
lette tables at night, and sometimes
he even hurried over to the casino
for a few spins of the wheel before
breakfast.
One evening in the l760's, his luck
was running especially well. BY sup
pertime he had won nearly thou
sand pounds (S5,000) and was still
going strong. Too excited to leave
the table even to eat, he ordered his
butler to bring him cut of ham and
two slices of bread. These he
slapped together without taking his
eyes from the table and began to
MUNICH as he continued to place
his bets.
In this fashion was our modern
sandwich born. The English Ian
guage is full of words that have
come into common usage in just
this way.
Boomers are intimate feminine
garments that have been largely
discarded by the younger genera
ton, although our grandmothers
used to wear them regularly. They
are named for the first woman who
made and sold them commercially,
Miss Amelia Boomer.
We often see the word ina
verick" in western stories and tales
about cowboys on the open range.
1t refers to an unbranded steer, and
takes its name from Samuel Maver-
rick of Texas. He was one of
the few ranchers during the old
cattle-rustling days who steadfastly
refused to brand his steers. Even
our Adams apple got its name from
Adams antics in the Garden of
Eden. With all the trouble it caused,
the forbidden fruit must have stuck
in his throat on its way down.
