FOND OF LETTER H.
Men Use 1t for an Initial in Names
When Any other Would Do.

Men Use 1t for an Initial in Names
When Any other Would Do.
"It's a peculiar thing" said the
knowing clerk in hotel which is noted
more for its hospitality than it is for
its inquisitiveness into the character
of its guests. tits peculiar fondness
that the average man has for the let
ter H as an initial. Now, don't
suppose that there are more middle
names beginning with H than with any
other letter-M or r or or B-but
nine men out of ten, If they are in
doubt about middle initial, decide on
H." quotes the New York Sun. Nov,
my middle initial is w, but for every
letter get, except from people l know
we'll, that has my initial right, I get
three in which it is put down H. It's
very seldom, too, that you'll find a man
with sufficient strength of character to
leave out the middle initial of the man
he's writing to if he doesn't know 1t,
so he claps in an H and let's it go.
There seems to be prevailing super
stitition that a man isn't just what he
ought to be unless he has a middle
name, and that the chances are very
strong that that name begins with the
eighth letter of the alphabet.
Now, here's another instance Cast
your eyes over this page of our reg
lister. That is mostly late guests who
drop in here late at night and sign
names other than their own. See the
result Charles H. JONES', John H.
Smith, George H. Robinson "A. H.
Brown Fl. w. Brown and so on.
There are ten names on that one page
the middle initial of which is H. Now,
that letter isn't any easier to write
than any other letter; it certainly isn't
any more ornamental, and can't see
that in any respect it has an advan-
tage over the rest of the alphabet. Yet
the human race sticks to it with fidel-
ity worthy of a more important cause.
I'd like to have some wise man tell
me why"

the bridge. This house, small and low
storled, with a bushy little garden
in front had been standing empty
for several months, Usually when a
house was left tenantless in Dulham II
remained 80 and fell into decay, and,
after some years the cinnamon rose
bushes struggled into the cellar and the
dutiful grass grew over the mound that
covered the chimney bricks. Dulham
was quiet place, where the population
dwindled steadily though such citizens
as remained had more and more reason
to think 1t as pleasant as any country
town in the world.
Some Of the old men who met every
day to talk over the town affairs We're
much interested in the newcomers
They approved the course OF the strong
looking young Canadian laborer, VINO
had been quick to seize upon his oppor-
tunlty; one or two Of them had already
engaged him to make their gardens ana
to do odd Jobs and were pleased with
his willingness and quickness. lie had
come afoot one day from q neighboring
town, where he and his wife had been
made Ill by bad drainage and factory
work, and saw the little house, and
asked the postmaster If there were any
work to be had out Of doors that spring
in Dulham. Being assured of his pros
poets, he reappeared with his pale,
bright-eyed wife and little daughter the
very next day but one. This startling
promptness had given time for but few
persons to hear the news Of new
neighbor, and as one after another came
over the bridge and along the road
there were many questions asked. The
house seemed to have new life looking
out of its small-paned windows; there
were clean white curtains, and china
dogs on the chimney stills, and a blue
smoke in the chimney-the spring sun
was shining in at the wide open door.
There was a chilly east wind on an
April day, and the lderly men were
gathered inside the postotIlce. which was

Frank Libby, ST., was Frustrated
Monday night with another attack of
paralysis. He had about regained his
usual vigor, from the attack of over a
year ago, and his friends and relatives
had strong hopes that a recurrence Of
the trouble need not be expected. It
is deeply to be regretted that it has
fallen to his lot to pass through another
siege of this disease. May good luck
attend the old gentleman, and a very
short time suffice to see him much inn
proved.

March,.

Our calendar year has, in passing
through the formative process, seen as
many changes as perhaps as any of the
other institutions by which we live.
In the Roman (ecclesiastical) calendar,
until the year 1852, March was the
first month, and the legal year began
March 25th. In France March was
reckoned the first month of the year
until 1854, when, by an edict of Charles
TX, January was declared the COM
mencing month. Scotland followed
France in 1899, but the English delayed
the change for nearly a century. The
selection of March as the commence
ment Of the year was not so inappro-
pirate as it might now seem to us, for
in that month, in the temperate zone
nature really begins to live again; the
trees send forth buds, wild animals
come out of their winter dens, and the
fowl commence their nOrthward Jour-
neys. 1t is, too, the time when the
years outdoor business begins; when
the ''mover' is looking for a new
country and cheaper land; the bust
ness man, for a location or place for
branch. If you want to travel any
where this spring, for business, pleas
ure, or visiting, select the Burlington
Route as your railrod line if possible

COMPANY ORGANIZED.
Pickle Factory an Assured Thing
for Princeton and vi
cinity.
Building Operations to Com
lnence as Soon as Site .

W.
is Selected.
At the meeting held in the village
hall, Tuesday afternoon, the organic
alton of the Picking Factory company
was completed. Everything is now in
proper form except the site for the
building which will probably be settled
upon this week. The most promising
location or the one most favorably
| spoken of, is on the bank of the river,
not far from the saw mill. A few days,
at furthest, and ground will be broken
for the foundation of another industry
added to those already contributing to
the material welfare of this village and
the thrifty agricultural region by
which it is surrounded. Only a few
weeks have elapsed since the subject
of pickle factory was first mentioned.
1t has passed through process Of dis
cussion, since that time, objections
have been presented by the skeptical
and incredulous, but the matter has as
sumed definite shape in the hands of
business men and by the time the crop
is ready, the factory will be in readi-
ness to take care of the productions.
Farmers should remember one thing
in relation to the proposed pickle
factory. 1t must be supported after it
is built, and to do this, requires the
planting and raising of the productions
needed in such factory. Cucumbers,
onions, cabbages, cauliAowers, horse
radish, peppers, tomatoes. dill and
dozens of other little things will be re-
quired, and every attention should be
given to see that those products are on
hand at the proper time, next summer.
