Will -NOT GET VILLA?
"u -he grtat volume of tUifc pro

Mexico, Gen. Pershing and his
10 Ot 0 American soldiers, men of
Ihe regular'army, are camping dow
in the hea-rt of Northern -Mexico,
6*i!l under instructions'to "get Vil

fs informed. If thj American, force
Is not under such instruction, it
imghr be pertinent to'inquire on

Villa, the murderer of Americans,
the border bandit who terrorized
American towns and pillaged where
ho pleased on this side 'of the bor
der, has organized an army under
the nose of the American expedi
tion. He has captured Mexican gar
risons, End 'is now besieging a
Mexican city within compartively
fsw miles of Gen. Pershing's forces.
Indeed, It "is possible that Villa's
men are-operating in the country
between Pershing and -the Ameri

The American, 'expeditionary ht°
grfc-'s was stopped when Carranza
troops bet-down American soldiers
a* the points of advance. The only
safe direction, as pointed -out by
the constitutional chi^f, was In 'the
direction of h'ome, and in -this di
rection our ""troops h*ve made -the

Carrlzal. '
Now Villa:men are operating near
the American expedition, gaining
victories over th© Carranzistas, -rond |

The professional pickpockets, or
those who are left of the tribe, hare
an expression for every professional
action and object Pockets range from
"side kicks" to "double insiders,"
which are the inner rest pockets, and

or "leather" from one of the same and
"weed" it in the security of some near

A ring is called a "hoop." A watch
may be a "super" in one locality, and
In another it may be called a "block"
or a "turnip" or a "kettle," while the
chain is either a "white slang" or a
"red slang," the chromatic adjective
denoting either gold or silver.
Money is given a score of names.
The most used is "kale," "scratch" or
"dough," but the "Humble Dutchman,"
a well known character, was wont to
call it "bullets," and this name is used
In many localities. A ticket in the un
derworld is known the world over as
a "ducat," while a uniformed police
man is a "harness bull," which is rich
I Indeed in suggestion and description.
The minions of the law are also giv
en the following names, which are
very expressive: "Cops," "mugs," "fly
mugs," "bulls." "dicks" (an abbrevia

PORSON'S WEAKNESS.
Tho Drink He Got Frcm Mrs. Hopp
nor's Private Bottle.
In "Samuel Ropers it ml His Circle"
la this anecdote about Hlelmr.l Poreoiu
tbe famous classical scholar aud pro
fessor of Greek:
When Hoppuer, tbe palmer, was re
siding In a cottage n few miles frotu
London, Porson one aftermou sudden
ly arrived there. Hoppner said that
he could not offer him dinner, as Mrs.
H. had gone to town nml liad carried
with her the key of the closet which
contained the wine Porson declared,
however, that be would be content
with a mutton chop aud beer from the
next ale bouse aud accordingly stayed
to dine.
Daring the evening Porson said, "1
am quite certain that Mrs. tloppner
keeps some niic bottle for her private
drinking In her own I edrooui, so pray
try If you can lay your hands on It"
His host assured him that Mrs. n. bad
no such secret stores; but, Porson In
sisting that a search should be made,
a bottle was at last discovered in the
lady's apartment, to tbe surprise of
Hoppner and the Joy of Porson, who
soon finished its contents, pronouncing
It to be tbe best gin he had tasted for
a long time.
Next day Hoppner, somewhat out of
temper, Informed his wife that Porson
had drunk every drop of her concealed
dram. "Drunk every drop of it!" cried
she. "Heaveu above. It was spirits of
wine for the lamp!"
Black Fridays.
In England the term Black Friday
was first applied to Pec. (J, 1745, the
day on which news reached London
that the pretender. Charles Edward,
had reached Derby. Again on May 11,
1SG0, when the failure of a large Eng
lish discounting Institution brought on
a most disastrous panic, the day was
called Black Friday. On tbe day of
the suspension the Bank of England
raised the rate of discount 9 per cent
Wild speculation lu gold In New York
and other cities culminated lu a mone
tary crash on Sept. 10, 1S75, that swept
thousands of firms and individuals into
financial ruin and causcd a commercial
depression that extended into the eight
ies of the last century: hence the origin
of the term Black Friday in the United
States.
