by local conditions and circumstances.

like the conditions existing in the older
countries we hnd the meaning in the
useof the word going back to its origi-

posed. kind. honest" There can be no
doubt that we obtained the word from
England and with the meaning II has
always had in that country. IL Is q
significant fact that the English mean
ing is used and accepted In the Oldest
parts OF our country and prevails in
parts Of our country farthest and most
rupidly advanced in the circumstances
we express by the word civilization
We can readily see how. In this
country. we came to change the mean
ing and why now we are gradually
going back to Its original significance.
In the early settlement; OF America.
and In the settlement OF what we know
as the new portions OF the United
States, 1t happened through the alb
Eence Of means TO hire assistance that
the custom grew of neighbors helping
each other. Ii was a common .hing

quiltings to harvest gatherings neigh
bors far and near came in and lent a
helping hand and made the occasion
social as well as Industrial.
In the help gatherings" those who
came in showed different degrees of
skill and also different degrees OF
alacrity and willingness. for there was
no compensation beyond the social
enjoyment that accompanied the work.
One would naturally imagine how the
helping neighbors became noted in
greater or less degree for "cieveruessT
in the English sense.
It is easy to see how the clever
man more easily attended to his own
affairs and had more time to devote
TO the assistance OF his new ueighbor
And this very ''cleyerness" which gave
him more leisure was naturally con-
ducive TO the cheerful and willing dis
position that usually accompanies the
satisfactory condition OF ones own af-
fairs Then, too. there is the natural
disposition that makes persons more or
less well disposed and kind and honest
in the sense of kindly and fair minded
ness. Under such conditions Of life in
new country just beginning to build
Itself up 1t might easily happen TO
come about that such a word as
clever" came to mean not only "dex-
ferrous, skillful and ingenious" but
also well disposed. kind and honest, .
and when people under such primitive
conditions spoke OF clever" person
they referred 10 moral and social quail
titles as well as to intellectual and
manual ability.
But as parts OF the country became
older and more settled and there was
an increase OF population and wealth,
there came means for securing assist

word "cleverness' as applied to neigh
