dearest mother, thou has left us
Gone to join the angel band.
God knew best when he bereft us
OF thy loving, guiding hand.
"Oft we think Of thee, dear mother,
Long to see thy loving face;
But IL Jesus thought 'twere better,
We will bear it through Gods grace.
.swell we know thou art with Jesus,
Praising God around the throne;
And the angels join the chorus
Praise him, mother, till we come.
"We will always live, dear mother,
Live for God, for heaven, for right,
So that when our journey ended,
We will live where there's no night.
"Oftentimes we long to join thee,
And to feel thy kiss once more;
Dearest mother, come to meet us
When we touch that shining shore.
"Then we'll gather round the Savior,
In one sweet, unbrokep band,
There to sing and shout and praise him
And take no more the parting hand.

This done, he leaned back against the
barrels, so that he could not fall, and

everything clear back to the vertebra
which was laid bare On three sides. His
head was almost severed from his body.

ORIGIN OF FAMILY NAMES.
LINER comes from lime burner.

Chandler was once candle maker.
Primer and Pinster remind us of time
when pins were rare and costly ornament.
Locke, Curl, Crispe, seem to indicate an
ancestor with marked capillary attractions.
Beaded, Beddall and Biddle are derived
from the name of the old English function
airy.
Dawber is descendant of him who
ehinked or daubed the cottage walls with
wet clay.
Porter was once more highly esteemed
occupation than at present, which accounts
for the numerous families of the name
Strong, Long, Short, Bigge, Little, Lowe,
Small, Slight, Fatt, Stout, Young, Light
and Heavy were all given as nicknames.
Sage, Merry, Joyce or Joyous, Curtis or
Courteous, Grave and Graves, Sweet, Proud
and Meek were all character nicknames.
Arch, Archer and Bowman are relics of
the time when the long bow was the prin-
cipal arm of the English military service.
Land was originally an open space in
forest; hence the Lands, Landleys, Launds,
Lowndes, Landers, Landmarks and Lunds.
Call was once woman's headdress, and
the descendants of it's manufacturers are
the Callmans, Callers and Kellers of today.
johnson, Jones, Jenkins. Jennings, Jacks,
jackson, Littlejohn, Micklejohn, Jaynes
and many others are the sons of plain John.
Fisher and Fisherman came from the
name of business occupation, while Fish,
Fisk and a few more have the same origin.
Wayte was once a policeman. and his
descendants are found in the Waites,
Waytes, Gates, Cater, WATERWAYS and
Wettermans.
BARRIERS were once far more numerous
than at present, which accounts for the
Barbours, Barbors and Barbars, Tonsors,
teaches and Leachmans.
Mantell and Fremantel remind us of the
covering once worn by our ancestors, the
latter owing it's origin to the frieze cloth
formerly worn in England.
Lea was the pasture land; hence Lee.

able compounds, such as Ashley, Oakley,

Reed and Hit were crony1nR. Hit was one
Of Blajne's NEST ultimate friends, and Reed
and Blaine hated each other like poison.
Now comes Joe Manley, the new head OF
the executive committee. of the national
Republican party. He makes no disguise
of the fact that he Is for Tom Reed for
president in 1896, just as he used to be for
Blaine. It does not take the average poll

with the leadership on the floor, in so far

Look Dat For Morrison.
Personal friendships play an Important
part in the careers Of public men. It stands
an ambitious man well in hand to make

lCEBOUND ENGLAND.
The Most Notable Cold Winter of tho Pres
ent Century.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
LONDON, Jan. 15 The unwonted sever
ity Of the weather in England this winter
has set every one to talking of the cold
snaps of the past and to looking up old
records of low temperatures. 1t may not
be known i'll America that there is a super
stition in this country to the effect that
Jan II, st. Ilillary's day, is invariably the
coolest in the year, but such is the fact. 1t
is probable that this popular belief began
in 1906, in which year, the old chronicles
have it, there began on Jan. IA "a frost
which continued until the two and TWEEN
tieth day Of March, SO that the ground
could not be titled, whereof it came to pass
that in the summer following 81 quarter of
wheat was sold for a mark of silver in
many places in England"
The most notably cold winter Of the pres
ent century in England WAS that of 1914,
when the river Thames was frozen so solid
~ As to support cfowds Of persons. But
this frost did not begin till the latter part
of January. so that the belief In Jan. IA AS
the coolest OF the twelvsmonth was not
strengthened that year. When the ice
was the tirmsst, a lot of booths were set up
on its surface. and liquor aud lunches were
sold from them. and skittlss were played on
the frozen surface. The second day of the
rivers freezing the booths increased and
multiplied, and presently the wbitened
plain took on the aspect of n fair. All sorts
Of games were added to skittles, and merry
60 rounds were set up.
Whether these were in the nature of the
eoutrivances that go by the same name
nowadays the present deponent saith not.
Perhaps the most novel feature of Frost
fair" as it was jailed, was the setting up of
an establishment for printing on the Ice,
whence broadsides containing accounts of
the fair in rather poor verse were thrown
of and sold readily to the multitude" The
ICE held good for four days, when killing
thaw" came, and many who fingered too
long suffered loss of property and danger to
life. In the words of an old time writer:
Toward evening there was seen strange
medley Of tsnts and merry 60 rounds and
printing presses seen floating about on de-
taehed masses Of Ice beyond recovery Of
their dismaysd owRsra. A vast number of
persons suffered Immersion, and three men
ware drowned"
Frost fairs on the Thames have been
rare since 1914, but In 1852, 1740 1716 and
1854 the river was CONCEALED from shore to
shore, and festivities and commerce held
sway on the frozen surface. In 1854 there
was constant frost of seven weeks, pro-
ducing ice 10 inches thick" and the fair
that was held was held to be OF enough i'm
portance by England's then reigning mon-
Archs King Charles II, to be worthy of par
sonal visit. G. @. BATES.
