THE R s Ui £ T 4 TWENTIETH CENTUR RY’ " LIMITED The. Village Blacksmith Under the spreading blacksmith tree the village chestnut stands, if we are any judge of the following from The Pioneer want ads, brought to our attention by a keen observer: “For Sale—Complete blacksmith’s outfit, one John Deere manure spread- er, 70 bushel capacity, 1% year old. Cheap if taken at once, etc.” That ought to be a great opportu- nity for a barber who wants to follow the barber trade only part time. —Judging from the Capacity— Make an Angler Out of Him! Dear Twentieth Century: My lit- tle boy has been bothered terribly of late with worms. What can I do to help him?—Willie B. Better. We don’t know a great deal about the temperament of worms, but we suggest that you might feed your lit- tle boy lots of fish. —Fish Like Worms— Grand Form Show “Employees Stage = Munsingwear Fair,” says a headline in a Minne- apolis paper. That's all.we know about it, and as much of the article as we were allowed to read, conse- quently we are still curious. But it’s a cinch that if the weather there is anything like it is here, it was staged indoors. Imagine what a crowd such a fair would attract in Bemidji! —Cops ’N Everything— Sure Trick A correspondent writes in and states that he would like tG be'an orator. He also wants to know the best way to acquire a flow of lan- guage. Not being orators, we are at a loss| to direct him so that there is no dan- ger of him wasting his energy, but we suggest that he might try tread- ing on a tack in his bare feet. —That’ll Start Something— Just a Suggestion Now that Boardman has won $10| | SYARVMIN' O \ NO, MARKETS ARAARRASANARSANAAKS SORALASALIARRAT POTATOES Chicago, Oct. 1. —Potato receipts, 89 cars.

FRANCE IS HARD HIT - BY GENERAL DEPRESSION (Continued From Page 1) shoes have been forced down about |20 per cent. Since the first of the year the general cost of living has dropped about 15 per cent. . Meantime, wages have followed with an average de- crease of srom 12 to 15 per cent.

WORD CHANGED IN' MEANING ‘Modern Fillbuster Is a Comparativély Harmlegs Proceeding, Comldorlnu What It Once Meant. When a legislator attempts to delay the progress of a measure he disap- proves of, in the hope of preventing its passage, spending hours upon hours de- bating .it, he .is called a “filibuster.” “Th y, parliamentary. body in the ‘world where filibustering to the ex- treme- s counténanced and where it has a chance of success is the United States senate. The renl meaning of the word “fili- buster” is a lawless adventurer, espe- clally one in quest of plunder. The term Is derived from the original fili- busters; who were West Indian pirates. The name is traceable. to that of the small, fast-salling ‘vessels which used to be called “fiilibotes” or “fiy-boats.” Gru(_ln:llly the meaning of the ex- pression began to embrace all sorts of militavy adventure. American usage finally brondened the phrase to such an extent thdt it now includes those sen- ators or congressmen who use obstrue- tive dnd dilatory tictics to galn thelr Happy Butterfites. w, Upon meeting : one _of .thelr . own specles, the' tiget swallowtat ;butter- flles will execite n kind af inerial waltz as they flit above, below atid around each other in their play on the wing, .

Shelta Tharl is a language used se- cretly among people of the tinker class and principally to be met with in Scot- land and Ireland. Its use was first dis- covered and made known in 1876 by Charles K. Leland, an American anti- quarian, and Prof. John Sampson of Liverpool. One day, while walking by the seashore at Aberystwyth, they encountered a tramp who addressed them in an unknown tongue. Both were versed in the Romany or gypsy language and were much surprised to meet one who spoke a tongue of which they knew not'a word. They Collected a number of phrases from this man and found on inquiry that he had acquired this strange speech from his wife, who was a tinker. The tinkers, he said, kept their knowledge of the language a se- cret, speaking It only among them- selves. -Later Leland encountered many other persons who spoke Shelta. He found that in many of the drinking places in the East end of London, where vagrants often congregate, the that when an outsider made his ap- pearance, it ceased at once to be spok- en. Scientific methods applied to the study of Shelta proved that it is no mere system of back slang or cant, but an ancient Celtic speech. Romany, the language of the Eng- lish gypsies, is still spoken by a large number of persons, ' Among the ma- Jority ‘of ‘them it has become: corrupt, but the older gypsy folk still speak what {8 known as ' “deep”‘ Romany, that is; the gypsy language in its pure state. s The dialect of Shetland, although its grammar is Lowland Scotch, .is very largely Nousé and as spoken by the ‘Shetlanders among themselves is scarcely understaidable by ‘the aver- age Scotsmai. On the Isle of Man, a Celtic tongue différent from Gaelic or ‘Welch is still used’by a number of the inhabitants. b Obstructed Vision. An old merchant who resided in Ire- land had a glass eye, which it was his custom to take out and deposit in a tumbler of water each night before retiring. He awoke one morning very thirsty, having on the previogs night drank not ‘wisely but. too well, and by mistake drank from the tumbler which contained his artificial optic, thereby [] swallowing same, His wile, fully aroused and greatly alarmed at the semi-choking condition of her spouse, called to the valet, who wus an Irishman, to render assist- ance.” Pat having promptly arrived, was requested to look down his master’s throat to see what caused the obstruc- tion. Proceeding to investigate he saw the eye In question lodged some distance down the passage. Meanthme the anxious, wife asked: “Can’t you see down, Pat?” “How ean T see down and another fellow louklilg up?”~-London Answers. Yale's Storfe Bulldogs. Four bulldogs in stone represent Hfe:t:Yale, “The bulldog has EI's, miscot for lo! these many . Onle of the dogs, with a wrinkled brow, wears spectacles. He is the student. Another bulldog, brow not so much _wrinkled, wears a foot- ball player's helmet, a nosepiece with its end gripped in his teeth. He is the .hero of the gridiron. Another bulldog wears a soldier's campaign hat, depicting what Yale men have done in the various wars. Still another bulldog has a cap_and gown, repre- senting the' completion of the college course, Of all the carvings found, these are the four most interesting, al- /{/though there are faces representing Dr. ‘Hadley, and a few of "his' predeces- sors.” The Royal Fish, The sturgeon is a strange looking creature, being almost covered with | flattened bony plates, in the center fof cach of which is a conlcal spiné It is said’ to live to a great age—two hundred years is one estimate, but we have no certain knowledge on the sub- ject. Its air bladder is rich in isin- glass, ‘and caviar Is prepared from its roe. Its flesh seems to combine the flavors of fish, flesh and fowl, and is really excellent, -It was Edward II, | who made the sturgeon a royal fish, but -it is ouly sturgeon caught in’ the Thames which can be claimed as the property of the .crown.

The steel-head trout is classed.as a salmon by fisherfolk and the fishing trade, and it is said that it was given tlie name “steel-head” because of the hardness of its skull. Fishermen tell that it often requires several blows from a club to kill this fish when cap- tured and taken into a boat, Emeraids in Aztec Treasures. Among the Aztec treasures of Mex- leo exquisitely cut emeralds were found #nd it is from this source that the magnificent emeralds now forming 2 part of the royal collection of Spain were supposed to have come. “Fiasco” Meant Failure. Fiasco is the Ita word for a bot- tle or flask. It is said that the Vene- tlan glassblowers, in making their beautiful glassware, when they dis- covered a flaw in the bulb would con- vert it into an ordinary flask or fiasco, whence fiasco came to mean a failure.
