John Paul Jones' Name.


The son of John Paul, II poor Scotch
gardener, John Paul Jones was born ut
Arbigland. In Observation-Disclosures, on
July q, 1147. The reasons for his adOp-
ton of the name Of Jones have never
been explained. That he did not wish
to sink his identity IL shown by his re-
tention of his original name. In his
earlier career he signed himself "John
Paul Jones'" Afterwards he signed
himself J. Paul JOnes;" but when he
became the hero Of Paris and Versail'
les, and Europe resOunded with his
fame, his cards read simply paul
Jones'" This gradual emancipation
from the self-made mans fondness for
titles and dignities IL strikingly shown
in his will. where, after n lifelong strug-
gle for honors and precedence. during
which he cOntended for them In man
ner at once fierce and childish. on the
day of his death he described himself
only as ".I0hn Paul Jones, II citizen of
the United States."-Century.
