Names For Fame.


OF all people perhaps the Southern negro
is the most noted for curious names. This,
no doubt is due to the fact that ON attaining
freedom they sometimes took their former
masters surname, but more often adopted
one of their own selection. Hence they
were oftentimes ludicrous, at others grand
loquent. An old woman near Orangeburg

Nine Tailers rralse a wan.

The old saying, "Nine tailers make q
man." is SO seldom correctly quoted that
the true reading and meaning is worth re-
producing. The proper word, as above, is
"tailers," not " tailors," as often written,
and its origin can be traced back several
centuries. It was one of the customs, when
person died in the parish, to toll the
church bell once for every year of the de.
ceased's life. But nobody could from this
tell the sex of the departed SO the sexton,
to crafty public curiosity, after ringing in
the usual way the number Of years, would
give eight quick strokes il the deceased was
q woman and nine if it was a man. These
being rung at the end of the strokes for the
years were called g tailers,' and thus nine
tailers made man. #

There is n general interchange of passes
among railroad men, and the President and
Vice President of the Pennsylvania Rail
road have passes all over the country.
President Roberts is very strict man. One
very stormy day in winter he got on the
New York division and took q seat in the
middle car. The conductor knew him, as
we oil do, and when he passed him tho
President simply nodded. 1t was catch,
and Roberts was only trying to see if his
man would break the rules and not make
him show his pass. The conductor fell
into the trap. When he passed through
the train again Roberts arose from his scat,
and, tapping him on the shoulder, said
''See here, you have not seen my pass. !"
''No, SIR" faltered the conductor, but
but know who you are.' tf
"That makes no difference" retorted
Roberts with frown, g the rules are made
to be obeyed and not TO be broken. The
rules laid down for your guidance say that
any passenger who has neither ticket mol
a pass must pay his fare or else you must
eject him from tho train"

"but--"
No butts Now you may CO."
Haven't seen your pass yet, though"
demurely remarked the ticket puncher,
wishing TO demonstrate the thoroughness Of
the lesson.

ingly, "make no difference between the
President of the road and the poorest pas.
senger."
"He reached in his inside coat pocket
and then into his vest pockets. His face
grew red and he fumbled around his hiI
pockets. The conductor grinned. Roberts
sallow complexion grew paler and ther
redder. He went through his pockets again,
but no passes. The conductors smile grew
more expansive.
Humph !" exclaimed the President

The conductor stopped, and the Presi
