alarmed the neighbors. The robbers
were frightened nil'.
Twenty Italians employed at the

a dispute as to the distribution of
whisky. Two of the combatants were
shot and killed, while another, who
is now in jail and who fired the first

ARE DEER PLENTIFUL?
Some Old Hunters Ridicule the Idea
thut They are Numerous.
Hen anil there an old hunter
who keeps in touch with the game
situation ridicules the idea that deer
are unusually plentiful this year.
One ot these, in the columns of iiti
exchange expresses himself as fol
lows:
"It is surprising to hear the storii*
in circulation about game being plen
tiful. One savs he saw deer cross
the road here or there, another that
thev are destroying his buckwheat,
and another who drove them out of
his birn, and so on. No doubt if it
was known some of these men talk
such stuff and fire shots at deer to
scare them away, are only baiting
them to stay around so that they can
get the first shot after the seaaon is in.
We know deer are. scarce. There are
many hunters that hunt the whole,
season and do not even get »a shot at I
or sew a deer, so all such stories of
deer or other game being plentiful are
without much foundation in fact.

L0! THE PAD OF
THE PURITAN MAID
Despite the Tradition of ller Race She
Now Rolls Cigarettes for
ller Admirers.
Winchester, Mass., Oct. 12. —Yes,
the very latest of the effete society
[ fails has struck Worcester. It is quite
the proper thing now for u young wo
man of a certain set, when her mascu
line friends call on Tier, to roll them
cigarettes during the,evening, as many
as they care to smoke.
Home of the young women have al
ready laid in a stock of monogram ci
garette papers. The popular shade
just at present is a delicately tinged
yellow paper. No speual brand of
smoking tobacco has yet been de
creed.
With deft lingers a young woman
may now roll a cigarette on her knee,
seal it with or without a kiss and pro
ffer it, bending low, to her lover. He
will take the yellow-tiutcd dream
maker between his lips, and extend
his chin for her to light it for him.
In the warm glow of the (taring match
their two responsive hearts will beat
as one. Thus has descended the de
mure and puritanical maiden of New
England.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD NEWS
1 Bishop Nicholson Favors Unique Theory
of Its Derivation.
r [ haven't any news,"
J said liishop I suae Lea Nicholson with
the characteristic smile which almost
took i lie sting of disappointment from
his reply to the eager representative
of the hungry press, says the Chicago
Record. "1 am one of the men who
do-not. make news. It least, Ido
not want to make any, and J some
times think it would lie a good thing
if there were none in any of our
churches.
"By the way, do you know the
real origin of the word 'news' ? I
learned two stories about the deriva
tion of the word whi'.i 1 was attend
ing college and 1 hav often wonder
ed which one was really correct. Of
course, I heard the iii-ual explanation
that it was derived from the Latin
i 'novus,' which means new, and 1
really suppose this is t rue.
"The bishop who was my instructor
in philology always insisted, however,
in the theory that some enterprising
genius had just taken the initial let
ters of the cardinal points of the com
pass and had thrown them together to
form the word with which we are all
so familiar. lam sometimes inclined
to believe he was right, for the north,
east, south and west are all represent
ed by the four letters, and the news
gatherers are certainly sent to all
points of the compass in the discharge
of their daily duties."
The November ''Smart Sel."
There are thirty-eight signed contribu
tions in the November Smart Set, and no
magazine can offer a greater variety of
stories and poems; certainly no standard
is higher. The novelette which opens
the issue is called. "The Surrender,"
and is written by J. 11. Twells, Jr. It is
a powerful study of divorce, presented
with great insight and feeling. The
scenes, many of which are dramatic in
the extreme, are laid in Paris, and the
author reveals an intimate knowledge of
the French capital.
A timely essay by the distinguished
dramatist, Clyde Fitch, entitled "The
Play and the Public," will be widely
read and discussed. Mr. Fitch writes
from the inside, and everything be says
on a dramatic subject is spoken almost
ex cathedra.
In the long lijt of short stories it is
difficult to choose any particular one
which could lie called "the best," for all
are superlatively good. Gouverneur
Morris's "She Honeymoon" will certain
ly stick in the memory of numerous
leaders. It is wonderfully photographic
and strikingly original, In a different
vein is George Ilorton's '"The Office-
Hunters," an amusing picture of politi
cal and social life in Washington. "Har
mony Jack," l>y Grace MocGowan
Cooke, is a breezy Western tale with
plenty of the wholesome atmosphere of
the plains. Viola Roseboro's "The
\etress that Remembered" is a story of
player folk, artistic and with an under
lying note of pathos. "A Rose in Ice"
is the story of a manly newspaper re
porter and a society girl, written ill
Herbert 1). Ward's direct style. James
Huiiekea's "The Eternal i>uel" occupies
only a little space, but if ia as cameo-like
us one of Maupassant's masterpieces. In
addition to these tales there are others
by such writers as Kdn i Kenton, Charles
Battell Looniis, Virginia Woodward
Cloud, Robert Iv MocAlarney. ('banning

Boring Square lloles.
For several days throngs of interested
mechanics, supply men and buyers visit
ing the machinery districts have been at
tracted to an exhibit at No. 107 Liberty
street, New York, where there is daily
working in all kinds of wood an auger
which actually bores a square bole or
mortise. We do not mean a chisel or
something forced into the wood by pres
sure, but a real auger, all the cutting
parts boring a square hole by a rotary
motion.
This is the only tool in the world bor
ing a square hole, and this is the first
time it lias been demonstrated in New
York City. The company owning these
patents has expended large amounts of
money, extending over a period of fif
teen years, and has a right to feel well
satisfied in regard to the present ontlook
for the business of the company, the
prevailing opinion of all being that it
will be a greater money-maker than the
pneuinatic tool, from which millions
have been made, as it lias almost an '*.n
limited field, it being entirely inn class
by itself. The Pearl square auger bids
fair to monopolize the processes of mor
tising in furniture, car building, cabinet
making, carriage braiding, ship yards,
and a great many places where other un
satisfactory methods have been used, be
cause of the expense of mortising.
In some instances the cost of produc
tion will be decreased more than one
jialf. Think of what this means in sup
plying these tools for the trade of the
world. The inventor w.is awarded a gold
medal by the Mechanics' Association of
Boston, Mass., on the new mechanical
motion. The tool is, without doubt, one
of the most interesting and useful inven
tions of this age. The Pearl Square
Auger Company will have permanent
offices at No. 107 Liberty street, where
they will be pleased to demonstrate all
they claim for the tool.
Where the Bnviour Was Born.
One of Simeon Ford's latest stories
is about a Pennsylvania school, says
the Boston Record A young lady
with philanthropic motives was
teaching a dozen or two little ones in
the mining district.
"Now t where did T tell yon the
Saviour WHS born ?" she asked one
morning.
44 Allentown!" shrieked a grimy 12-
year-old.
"Why, what do von mean, John
nie ? 1 told you he was born in
