Hardly a word came Into the Lin gua;;'' ns the result of four years of appalling disaster. Only a few new expressions were born. Even In the matter o f war song* tlds Herman war was different. It was more sentimental and less militant than some great wars of the past. Of all new English phrases coined Since that memorable August, 1014. “ Over the top.” is by far the nio*t frequently quoted and the most slg- nlAeant. It Is now In general use to expresa an emphatic finish. Hut what other did we get? Of course, we had the “ Hun.” hut that was old. and it lacked the punch ®f originality. It didn't carry the hatred and sting that went with what onr ancestors called the Hessian, nor the father* baptised the Copperhead. “ Pacifist” was entirely new. hut that lacks the venom that signified “ Tory” o f the Revolution and even yet carries ©n with that phrase In this country. Tlie South got many a wild curtain call with Its telling phrase, “ Northern Mudsills.” “ Doughface” was a highly expressive title that still reeks with the campaign against slavery and was first used by John Randolph of Virginia. Oliver P. Morton's graphic phrase, “ waving the bloody shirt,” had a whole bootful of meanlngTiehind it and real ly summed up a great national tssue. Since the Mexican war “ Greaser” has been a fighting word from the month of the Kto Grande to the Guif o f California. Gen. Ben Hntler's Interpretation of the status of a negro during the Civil war gave an entirely new meaning to the word “contraband.” No unit of this new and greater American army had a title that will •tick longer than did that of the “ Bucktalls.” No general In any of the allied arm ies won a sobriquet to match that of “ Stonewall" Jackson of the Confed erate hosts. A presidential cnmpalgn In 1840 was keyed upon the slogan, “T ipp er* poe and Tyler, too." the "Tippecanoe” being old General Harrison, who won the name and his fame in Indian for ays. ee ■ - í HER • e • e J • J e Just One LINIMENT And that Is All others are "just as tfood” but J Watkins M.

Why, a man should be about at his best at the age of seventy-two. And It Is at that age that woman should really begin to enjoy life In hlgh- beeled shoes, short skirts and a hat With rose* all over It. Cato did not begin the study of Greek until he was eighty years of age, and It was at the same age that Plu tarch began the study of Latin. Hobbes, the English philosopher, pufr llshed his best book when he was eigh ty-seven, and Chevreul, forever Immor tal In scientific research, was busy as a bee at his work In his one hundred and second year.
