COWBOY’S WEAPON THE RIFLE
Never Had the Popullru{‘ of the
“Qun,” Which Was Name Univen
sally Given the Plstel.
In describing the weapons ef the
cowboy of the Western range, Philip
Ashton’ Rollins in bis book says: The
rifle, when carried, was conveyed, not
by the cowboy himself, but by his
horse, which bore it in & quiver-shaped,
open-mouthed scabbard, into which the
rifle went up to its stock. This scab
bard sometimes hung from the saddle
horn, but more commobly was slung,
butt forward, in an approximately horl
zontal position along the near side of
the animal, and passed between the
two leaves of the stirrup-leather, The
rifle was thus eschewed, because, be
ing heavy, it Interfered with ready
saddling and unsaddling; and, belng
bulky, it materially detracted from the
rider's comfort, . :
After the early "70s the rifle, regard
less of its make, was usually called a
“Winchester,” though this particuler
term, because of its similarity to the
name of a well-known condiment, was
occasionally paraphrased Into “Wor
cestershire.” Falling these titles, the.
weapon was styled merely “rifie.” It,
except In the case of the rifies special
ly designed for bison shooting and
called “buffalo. guns,”:.never. was
termed “gun,” that word, save for the
single exception noted, belng conse
crated to the pistol. . gt 1
“Scatter-guns,” otherwise shotguns,
were occaslonally produced by tender
foots; but they, unless with “sawed
off” barrels, loaded with nails or bueck-~
ghot, and in the hands of express mes
sengers, served for the westerngr only

OLD IDEA IN UNIVERSITIES
Student Bodies, Fraternally Linked,
Had Their Beginnings In the
‘ Fifteenth Century. L
University life today embodies many
anclent practices in slightly modified
form, College fraternities really date
back to the Fifteenth century, when
universities were few in.number and
students were attracted to them: from
many lands. The student body nat
urally gathered into groups according
_to nationalities, and these groups were
known &s “nations.” Later came the
organization of the studept corps in
German universities. In some Ameri
_can universities today there are na
tion socleties, as the Philippine, Chi
nese, Japanese and Cuban, represent
ing the nations, and ‘the Southerpers,
Southwesterners, Paclfic coast. and
others representing sections and states
of the Uniom, . ' ; ¢
Poor students of the Fifteenth cen
tury drifted from one .university to
another, supporting themselves by
singing, begging, stealing and, occa
sionally, working. = - : g
The freshmen had. a mather sorry
time. In the German universities they
were termed “Schutsen,” and were
compelled to perform all .sorts .of
menial offices for the upper class men,
who were termed “Bacchanten,” and
were often worthy eof that title. From
this practice developed the bystem of
“fagging” in the English' gremmar
schools. That practice :traces back.
even to the academic schools of Ath
ens. The freshmen, on admission to
a university, were put through an in
itiation -ordeal which was' the origin
of the present-day hazing.

THE LEE COUNTY JUURNAL, LEESBURG, GEORGIA
HER YEAR OFF
By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD
(9, 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicats.)
Emma Brown's classmates yere all
dgreed that she liad drawn the plum
from the pedagogical ple when, the
September after she graduated from
college, she réceived an dppointment
to teach In the high s¢hool st Mont:
rose Highlands. Not oaly would ‘her
work ‘be under the most Wtfill‘
conditlons of splendid equipment and
inspiring surrounditgs, and draw,
even it the start, & very fair salary,
but she would in time be eligible for
Curtis Hunt's Ssbbatical Year. ’
Curtis Hunt was the comparatively
new superintendent 'of schools of
Montroge Highlands, He bad Inm-{
tuted many_reforms, none of them,
however, more popular than his Sab
batical Year. “High school teachers,
as well as ecollege professors,” he
stoutly meintained, “should be allowed
a year off, every seventh year, for re
cuperation and study. In time we
hope to grant this year's vacation with
full pay; at present, all we can do is
to allow a small bonus and hold the
position open.”
Emma, strange to say, was Dot
vitally interested in this feature of her
job, Seven years! Why, by that time.
she hoped to be married and have
three children at least,
Yet ome year passed, then several.
And still Bmma reported faithfully at
4 quarter of nine in Room 208 on the
third floor. - ' : : it
And so her Sabbatical Year came
te Emmwa. And at ite close, back in
school, she appeared at the first
teachers' meeting of the season, where
she knew from’ experience she would
be called- upon for a report of what
she had done during her absence.
When her opportunity came Emmna
srose and, grasping the chair-back in
tront of her, swept her audience with
& brave glance.” “Some of my Sabbatl
cal year,” she told them, “was spent
at the university; some of it was
spent taking a course in Phoeniclan
archaeology, the rest of it I put in
making myself ready for—for mar
riage—studying how to be & com
panion, a thrifty belpmate and a home
maker,” She sat down ainid a silence
that was audible.
Then smoothly, tactfully, under
John Wentworth's hand, the meeting
flowed on in'the usual channels.
Emma had’ wunconsciously accom
plished = ‘strange thing. She had
focused upon herself the attention of
every fellow teacher, man and woman.
And that attention, once captured, re
mained riveted.. For it was impossible
not to observe that Emma wore dif
ferent clothes and wore them in & new
way, and that her personal appearance
had grown more: youthful, yes, more
beautiful. The women would have
understood had ‘ they known that a
course in dressmaking and weekly
visits to a rellable beauty specialist
had been a part of Bmma’s past year.
The med aceepted the change at face
value, but were none the less inter
ested. !
John Wentworth, walking home with
Emma, discovered: 'that she wag
womanly, alluring, provocative. He
began to regret his many years ofi‘
bachelorhood and .to wonder how soon
he could bring them to.an end. Here
was a woman, drawing a good salary,
who had come out bravely and de
clared she wished to marry. What &
treasure and a marvel such a woman
was, these modern days! :
It Emma cared for Wentworth she
gave no outward sign of it that winter,
but pursued her pedagogical way
merenely, accepting equally the atten
tions of the principal, the head of the
science department, the history
teacher and the young instructor In
English.. A trifie bitterly the other
women teachera compared notes and
laid little bets among themselves as
to the final ‘outcome. And every one
privately resolved at a try for one of
the unsuccessful competitors, Emma
had blazed a trall they condemned in
public but secretly longed to pursue.
Then came the -spring vacation,
from which Emma returned with &
radiantly happy look in her eyes amd
a ring that sparkied triumphantly on
its appropriate finger. P |
‘Was it John Wentworth or the his
tory man or—-p - @ ' ;
But- after school in the teachers'
restroom -Emma satisfied their curi
osity. “It'a Curtis Hunt, girls. I'm
sure you're not surprised.” |
But, as & matter of fact, they were,
and crowded about her with ejacu
lations and. congratulations.
“Come, Emma, loosen up!” begged
Mabel Southwick. “My year off is
due. Tell us what you did that got
all the men interested.” :
“Well,” sald Emma, twisting her
ring with a whimsical glance "“]
studied up clothes and I studled up
the gentle art. of conversation. 1
made the most of my looks and 1
took a correspondence course In liouse
hold economics, Interior decorating
and cooking. - But, well,~to be frank
about it. Il have to confess that
Phoenician archdaeology did as much
for me as anything!" é
_ “Phoenician archaeology!” The two
words were uttered in chorus
“Exactly,” sald Emma. *“You see, ]
knew: Curtis Hunt was going to take
that course, too!™

“HORSE-POWER” UNIT WRONG
Mietake That Can Be Definitely
- Traced to James Watt Was Never
Officially Corrected.
. “H, P.” as you know, stands for
“horse power,” and if, therefore, your
‘motorcycle i 8 a four and one-half h. p.
one, you know that what is meant is
that the engine has & power which is
equivalent to that of four and a half
horses.
Not so! You would be Incorrect to
the extent of no less than 40,000
pounds, remarks a London Answers
'm"- <
The b. p. unit of power ils a fraud,
and the late James Watt of engine
fame s responsible. He was a very
careful engineer, in theory and prac
tice, and he discovered, by many ex
periments, that the raising of 22,000
pounds one foot per minute was a good
average horse-power.
But “horse-power” today:- is reck
oned at 83,000 lbs. per foot per min
ute—ll,ooo pounds in excess! That is
due to the fact that Watt, in his anxi
ety to encourage business, offered to
sell engines which would develop 33,
000 pounds per foot as a horse-power
—a third more than the-actual. ‘
It would seem that he meant nltl-i
mately to be honest, but he died be
fore that happened, and so bequeathed ‘
to the world, which has accepted 'it,
a false unit measurement of horse
power. :
Engineers, of course, know of the
error, and make due allowance for it;
but the average individual does not.
Your 10 h. p. car is, therefore, In fact,
but a 6 2-3 one, and its power Is equal
to ralsing 222,000 pounds & foot :in al
minute, and not 333,000, :
HANDS INDEX TO CHARACTER
Btill Reveal Much, Though Probably
Less Than Was the Case Some
Few Years Ago.
~ Once it was possible to tell a “lady”
by her hands—that is if you regarded
a lady as “a female of the favored so
cial class.” She had well-kept hands
because she did nothing to roughen
them or enlarge their knuckles or cause
premature wrinkles, Even if fortune
had gone against her she somehow
avoided the work that would mar the
symmetry of those hands. She did
without sugar for her tea and did
needlework for money in order to avoid
the work that she regarded as menial.
And because a woman of this class
knew that it was at her ‘hands that
others looked for an index to her so
clal position it was her hands that she
saved, wearing gloves by day and by
night. to keep them white and to pro
tect them and repair them from the
ravages of wind, sun and housework.
The situation is rather different now.
Theé young woman of immigrant par
ents who sells tinware in the depart
ment store basement has elaborately
‘manicured nalls and hands that are
smooth, but the wife -of the college
president has hands that clearly show
the effects of work that we would once
have regarded as menial.
Perhaps still to the keen observer
hands have someihlng tc tell of their
owner’s rank or pedigree. There are
some hands that ne matter how dill
gently manicured always look a little
grimy at the corners, and others, lack
ing entirely the luster of the manicure
buffer, that are always scrupulously
