circles. Cleveland was derived from q

mixture of all men,
Mcpherson is from Pherson Of Pfarrer,
the German parson. This is an ecclesiasti-

NAMES THAT FIT.

with 1t we should think that customs of
earlier centuries were being revived. To
begin, there is the name OF Beard. Its
owner is a tonsorial artist, and RACES off

helps to decorate our street cars with

However unimportant ones name may
be, il is, nevertheless, to him a source of
much JOY and pride. Whether this is to be
accounted for by the wide range of posi-
bilities that lie before 1t, tempting its
ambition, or whether 1t is because the name
clings to him through thick and thin, and
is the only thing certain to remain with
him at least as long as life lasts, is diff
cult to determine

Among the worlds earliest habitants
surnames were unknown. single ap-
pellation was sufficient to designate an
individual. Later on the rapid increase
or population caused great confusion, and
necessity invented various kinds of nomen-
clature, such as names given on account OF
deeds perforTAed, names OF clan or tribe,
patronymics, names connected with places,
and then, last of all, the surname-a stage
in the evolution reached about the Eleventh
century A. D. When the surname came to

the word there was little ina name, since
