Senator Warren of Wyoming, lias
reported (lie army appropriation bill.
The bill carries $S 1, 000,000, an Increase
of .$0,000,000 over the amount as it
passed the House. Two-thirds of the
increase is for the artillery.
An amendment was reported provid
ing that the Railroad Kate law shall
not be held "to prohibit the allowance
of reduced rates to the government for
the transportation of persons or prop
erty, or to prohibit the transportation
of officers and enlisted men in the ser
vice of the I'nited States or their fami
lies, free or at reduced rates."
The commit lee met the demand for

by the adoption of a general provision
"that hereafter the heat and light ac

lowance of quarters for oillcers and
enlisted men shall be furnished at the

COMMONER ANNIVERSARY
On Saturday evening, February 0,
the employes of The Commoner mot
for tho sixth consecutive time to cole-
biate an anniversary of the paper's
founding. The celebration this year
was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Bryan, Fairviow, and was at
tended by nearly fifty employes to
gether with members of their immed
iate families. A trip around the
world "by proxy" was enjoyed, Mr.
Bryan acting as guide and showing
to the employes the many " quaint,
curious and handsome souvenirs col
lected while abroad. Anecdotes and
incidents of tho tour were hugely en
joyed during the two hours consumed
by the journey. Light refreshments
were served at the proper hour and the
time for taking the last car in came
all too quickly.
Every year upon tho date of the
first issue of The Commoner the em
ployes gather to celebrate the event.
The date was January 23, but it was
delayed throe weeks this year upon
request of Mr. Bryan, who wanted
the employes to meet at Fairviow.
His recent Pacific coast trip took him
away on tho anniversary date, hence
the meeting on February 9. But the
postponement only added to tho inter
est of the occasion and tho sixth an
niversary celebration was uuauimously
voted to be just what each of the pre
ceding ones had been "the best of
mem an."
their toy babies "poppets" or "pun
pots" instead of "dolls." Probai.u-"popsy-wopsy"
is simply another for 1
of the word. "Puppet" is descend.-1
from the French "ponpee" and ",o
Latin "pupa," a little girl or doll, fr j n
both of which have come other Eng
lish words. "Toupee" has giv i
"puppy," so called because the tbiv
dog was naturally potted as a pl.-u.
thing: and the Latin word survives in
the sense of a chrysalis, and has i
descendant in the "pupil" of the o.
the "baby" that any one may see v
fleeted' in it.
"Helpmeet" has had a curious his
tory which began with the biblical ac
count of the creation, when "the Loi
iJod said, It is not good that the man
should bo alone; I will make him an
help meet for him." That is to say a
tit assistant. But tho two words haw
become curiously combined into .i
4 helpmeet." and they are constantly
used as one. Moreover, the confusion
is increased by the corruption of tho
words into "helpmate," and Mucaulay
writes of the waiting woman who was
"generally considered as tho most suit
able help mate for a person." Chicjago

Romance of Language
"Influenza" was originally an Ital
ian word for "influence," and, among
other tilings, for the "influence" of the
stars, which manifested itself bale
fully in epidemics of disease. Hence
IInfluenza di febbro scarlattina," for
instance, meant an "epidemic of scar
let ever." And so, when eighteenth
century Italy was prostrated by the
sneezing, snuffling scourge and passed
it on to England, it was naturally
spoken of as "the" Influenza-' W'
epidemic; though on the way throuch
France it acquired also the name of
wavte''-111 n.!!U8,?n t0 its ferocious
