TAKING 'N' FROM DAMN
DOE8 NOT TAKE THE CURtt OFF
BY ANY MEAN8.
When One Doesnt Care a Well,
Even "Tinker's Dam" la Bad
- Language to 8ay the
' Best About It.
A contributor to the Sun grieve
over the Ignorance of those who as
sume that "tinker's dam" is a "pro
fane expression." A tinker's dam,
says be, was a chunk of dough or bat
ter used before the days of muriatic
acid to keep the solder from spread
ing; and as the solder commonly did
spread nevertheless, the tinker's dam
was as nearly worthless as the com
mon expression of disesteem tor tt
Implies. He differentiates It from the
common or garden damn and saya:
"There is no profanity about it"
But not to care a tinker's dam is
Just as profane as not to care a maver
ick damn, unbranded with ownership
by tinkers or others. Taking the "n"
out of damn does 'not take the curse
off. If it is profane not to care a
damn, it Is Just as profane not to care
a whiffer, a jabberwock, a goop, or any
other illegitimate and unsanctioned
word. When one stentoriously enun
ciates his refusal to appraise the ar
ticle under discussion at the value of
a damn, be Is not swearing or curs
ing; be is literally using bad language,
for, in the sense he means, there i
no such noun as damn. We know
what a tinker's dam is, but what is a
damn? When , one says he does not
care a whoop, be Is far more definite,
tor there is such a thing as a whoop
Whence arose the idea that not caring
a damn was being profane, and why
do persons who io not care one plume
themselves on their deviliBhness?
It Is not profane, but it has the
sound of being profane, and that is all
that Is needed. An Individual who
would not for the world have used
blasphemous language used to relieve
his feelings by pronouncing the name
of one of Wagner's operas in a tone
that caused neighboring windows to
fall in, and "Gotterdammerung" gave
him as much satisfaction as it he bad
violated a commandment And who
was the man who always swore by
Charles 0. D. Roberts and Josephine
Dodge Daskam because they sounded
so profane? There is an excellent
Methodist in this town who severely
reprehends profanity whenever he
bears it, but who produces all the ef
fect of shocking blasphemy by the im
bittered emphasis be lays on the ex
clamation, "For government's sake!"
Colonel Roosevelt plumes himself on
bis abstinence from profanity, but
none of the iinregenerate ever got
such satisfaction out of a real cuss
word as he does out of "By Godfrey!"
No, tinker's dam belongs in the comfort-giving
galaxy of profane refuges
for the emotions; and that Is the
worst you can say of the other damn.

HISTORY MADE BY THE INDIAN
Real Life Story of the v Red Man Has
Not Been Properly Sot Forth
by White Writers.
It has been pointed out more than
once that if one could but "get at the
facts" of the history of the Indian
tribes tt would be" of interest to com
pare these with what is related as the
fortune of most civilized nations. It
is only in tradition that the history of
the Indian lives, and only one ver
sion of the story is ever heard. Some
times this is so true to nature that no
room for doubt can be found. Such is
the following chapter from the annals
of the Beavers, a Canadian tribe:
One day a young chief shot bis ar
row through a dog belonging to an
other brave. The. brave revenged the
death of his dog, and Instantly a hun
dred bows were drawn. Before night
had fallen some eighty lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations of the women;
the tribe had lost its bravest men.
There was a temporary truce. The
friends of the chief 'Whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe and
seek their fortune in the vast wilder
ness lying to the south.
In the night they began their march.
Sullenly their brethren saw them de
part, never to return. They went
their way to the shores of the Lesser
Slave lake, toward the great plains
which were said to be far southward,
by the banks of the swift-rolling Sas
katchewan. -
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again, but a hundred
years later a Beaver Indian, who fol
lowed the fortunes of a white fur-
hunter, found himself in one of the
forts of the 'Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians were camped about tbe pal
isades; they were members of the
great Blackfoot tribe, whose hunting
grounds lay south of the Saskatche
wan. Among them were a few braves
who, when they conversed, spoke a
language different from that of the
others, and in this language tbe
Beaver Indian recognized his own
tongue.

Swiss Army Always Ready.
Endurance tests show that in time
of war the Swiss Boldiers can "com
mand" the highest Alpine passes and
the most difficult mountains with light
artillery. The infantry, the field artil
lery and cavalry are recruited by tbe
cantons, but the engineers, guides,
sanitary and administrative troops, as
well as the army train, are enrolled
by the confederation. The cantona.
furnish the uniforms and equipments,
for which tbey are, however, reim
bursed by the federal government and
the latter supplies the arms directly.
A yearly inspection of armament and
equipment at which every soldier,
without exception, has to appear, pre
vents any neglect in that line, as every
man keeps his uniform and rifle at
home, anu when the mobilization or
der goes forth, the whole army is ready
for action within a few hours. A regu
lar salary is paid only to the instruc
tors, the general staff and a few other
officials. The officers receive pay only
during the brief period they are called
upon for training. The common sol
dier, when on duty, has his traveling
and living expenses paid and receives
besides that a daily compensation of
80 centimes, or 16 cents.
