Tbey also talk of the "star boarder" and the' 'star love match," evidently froth the flag. "Youl! get left" is a railroad simile, and real estate "boom", and lfarrisotr is booming comes tbe noise of a blizzard or of a can-non-ball booming through the air. • 'Ho w oh hands . down" is the fact thai a prizefighter drops his -hinds when beaten. the town red" is from "Corioiahus." It is also found in England in old Milton days. Puck h d some lines spring as follow!: Put a gray hawk that's crested I am; I'm a blizzard that's tested, I am, And when I swoop down I'm the boss of tbe town. I'm a daisy, a dollar, 1 am, 1 am. There Is slang In every word almost, "lima" Is from the old I)uch bass— a A drunken man Is said to be "loaded for boar," a very heavy charge, and if a man has a murderous intent be is jumping 00 your nrcktlc."
