One of the funny indications of the
growth Of civilization among the H.
dian students at Hampton School is the
change of names that is rapidly going
on both among the children and their
parent. when brought under their in
fluence at home. The girls seem in
clined to adopt the names of teachers
or lady friends to whom they may be
attached; but the boys transform
their Indian names sometimes in q
most astonishing way. Bears Heart
has melted. and he now writes his name
Mr.. j. B. Heart. The father of one
of the returned students, who formerly
bore the discouraging name, Don't

A Historic Love Affair.
ston Md Ledger.

Easton md Ledger.
A valentine seen BY q Ledger
reporter, which was sent to girl in
Easton by a youth in Washington,
brings to mind the story of a name
and of a name of note in American
history. The name of the sender Of
the missive is Return j. Meigs, and
the same Christian name has been in
the family for several generations
Many years ago in nte-Revolutionary
days, Jonathan Meigs courted q young
lady who rejected his addresses.
Meigs continued to love the girl, and
though too proud and sensitive to try a
second time to win her, he determined
never to marry any one else and to
live and die bachelor unless she. of
her own volition, reltn ei.
After few years the lady did relent.
or prehaps got to know her own heart
better, and sent a letter to her former
sutton. Meigs got the letter and found
in it only the two words, "Return,
Jonathan" 1t was enough; Jonathan
did return and made her his wife.
Their first child was baptized Return,
Jonathan" to commemorate the brief
letter that saved the Meigs family from
extinction. and from that day to this
there has been a Return j. Meigs in
every generation. The sender of the
valentine referred to is the grandson of
Gen NJ. G Meigs. late quarter
master-general, now retired.
