THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

"JITNEY." DUIIINO the period which Immediately followed the Mexican war. a number of words which were contractions or slight changes of terms in common use south of the Itlo Grande entered the United States vocabulary because of the Increased use of colloquial Spanish In the southern part of this country. Among these words was "jitney" a combination of two Mexican words meaning the lowest possible value, and first . used by American gamblers In scornfully referring to the "small change" or "chicken feed" which the Mexicans insisted on introducing into the games of chance. The copper cent being rare In those days, the term was gradually applied to the United States flve-cent piece, and worked its way North, where, among the street arabs of New York a nickel has long been known as a "Jit," just as a cent is a "meg," a "dimmo" Is a dime and a "cutie" is a quarter. The advent of the private motorbus which charged Ave cents for a ride helped materially to revive the term, the automobiles first being known as "Jitneyhnsses and then the name was shortened to "jitneys. (Copyright.) DAYS DID YOU DREAM THAT YOU WERE DREAMING? HAVELOCK KLUS does not believe that such a thing as to dream that you are dreaming is possible. For his part, he says, he has never had any such experience but admits that It has been borne witness to by many philosophers and other Investigators of dream phenomena from Aristotle and Synesius down to the present day. In this connection it may be remarked that the literature of dream science is a large one and that the books written upon the subject by learned and distinguished men from Aristotle the famous Greek philosopher who died o22 years before Christ and was the first to attempt a scientific investigation of the dream problem down to Freud and Havelock, would fill a considerable library. Most of the scientists admit the fact of dreams within dreams and nearly everybody has had such an experience, even though Havelock has not. Havelock says that when in our dream we say to ourselves. "I am dreaming." we are not asleep really but have "emerged for a moment, without realizing it. to the waking surface of consciousness.' No one who has hnd such a dream w ill agree with him. The other scientists, admitting the dream within a dream, explain it In various learned psychological ways. As for our mystic he bothers himself not at all about psychology hut declares tbat It is unlucky to drenm liar you are dreaming. For It means that somebody Is going to deceive you and cheat you out of money or valuables. So If in some complicated or unpleasant dream your "dreamhought" says: "It's all right anyway: I am only dreaming." look carefully after your affairs and keep watcli of rt;n who are In a position to deceive .Tourneys, unless absolutely nor-e-sary. are tint recommended after such a dre.ua. Ihit Its speclnl ware tug Is to be on the alert for cheats. n ; yr !;:lit.

Last Nigiit's Dreams What They Mean

OLD RELIABLES. I have observed remarked the eminent comedian, "that some of the oldest stories are most highly appreciated by an audience." "I'm glad to hear you say that," rejoined Senator Sorghum. "A number of things I will feel called upon to s;iy during the campaign have already been very much discussed." Similarity. "Charles, dear, said young Mrs. Torkins, "horse racing Is something lke politics, isn't it?" "I don't quite see how you figure it." "Most ot the people who discuss either subject are so much more reliable in reminiscence than they are in prophecy." Enough to Stop It. Mrs. Fiatbush I see your clock Is stopped at nine o'clock. Mrs. Hensonhurst In remembrance of my husband, "Hut your husband is still living?" Oh, yes but he came home one night at nine o'clock, as lie promised, and the clock stopped and has never gone since." Approved. "I suppose you are one of those who look upon tollers with contempt?" the shabby one demanded bitterly. "Not at all," the gilded youth responded pleasantly. "In fact, take ray great-grandfather. The old gentleman worked like a beaver, and invested his money intelligently, and really I'm quite pleased with him for having done so." mm AN APT COMPARISON Wife: Mrs. Nextdoor thinks you must be easy and comfortable to get along with. She compares you to an old garment. Henry N. Peck: Quite so. My pants, for Instance. Only they've been pressed and repaired while I've been paired and repressed. Resemblance. "A woman's like a sleeping car. In one way," says Bill Hupp; "They both look different, by gar, After they've been made up." He Has Our Sympathy. So Helen Strongmind is to be married to Mr. Wurm?" "Nor exactly. Helen says he ..s to be marled to her." "Oh, yes, of course. She's asked you to be her bridesmaid, hasn't She?" "No, she asked me to be her 'best woman. Victims Innumerable. Foreign Visitor What was the total loss of life caused by your revolutionary war? Native American Nobody knows. We kept adding to It every Fourth of July since, until recently. I reckon the grand total would make the later war look like a mere skirmish. Personal Preference. "Have you given up the idea of subdividing the farm Into town lots?" "For the present," answered Farmer Comtossel. "My boy Josh and I couldn't quite agree. He didn't see the sense of providing sites for any public buildings except motion picture theaters." Magnanimous. "Dearest, you don't want to marry me for my money, do you?" "No. darling, but I don't hold It against you." His Case. "The soldier .who performed that hazardous feat Is a raw recruit." "Well, he might be raw. but Ids net was well done." More Correctly Stated. "The Newriches are certainly going to It. They are devoting themselves to pleasure regardless of expense." "Say rather that they are devoting themselves to expense regardless of pleasure." Sure Thing. Willis What Is It when you're married twice at the same time? (Ullis Polygamy. Willis And when you're only married once? (Hills Monotony. Cornell Widow.

The Japanese have had paper clothes for many years and some of the most attractive kimonos in the Far Kast are tailored of wood pulp. An expert on Japan insists that the layman will find it hard to distinguish these kimonos from the expensive silk wrappers. "Everybody In Japan wears kimonos." he remarked, according to the New York Evening Post, "and the paper garments are very popular and Inexpensive. For about $1.50 you can buy a kimono that looks like a $"() outhtand feels like It, too. The paper is soft and pliable and it can be draped gracefully about the figure. If Americans, men, women and children alike, could be converted to the kimono as everyday dress, paper clothing uuüht become the only weir." Worthless.
